24.01.2022 Ageing with vitality means letting go. Of everything. what goes in must come out. So lets talk some Bowel Health.

23.01.2022 Life is wild. Im escaping for a few days of salt water healing..... and our friends in Beirut are dealing with a massive devastating explosion. I dont have much to say on the cyber space platform. I try to acknowledge and be aware of others in worlds away, and bring it back to that which I can truly impact, my friends, family and local community. The devastation in our social media feeds is heart wrenching.... but we are never to helpless to help those sitting right n...ext to us. Hearts and love to Beirut #lovelocalcareglobal

22.01.2022 STEPS TO A HEALTHY HEART Diet - If you have suffered a major heart attack, stroke or have had stents put in then a Whole food plant based no oil diet has been shown to reverse the disease process. Look at the work of cardio surgeon Dr Essetlysn... Atherosclerosis, the beginning of stages of a heart attack or stroke, occurs when LDL cholesterol (highest in animal products) attaches to the arteries and builds up plaqu. We need to remove these foods so the body can clean up the mess without having more to deal with. If you are wanting to take care of your heart than eat a plant based diet and restrict animal products to only once or twice a week. There are many website with great whole food plant based recipes. (Check our Blue Zones) Herbs - Hawthorn and motherwort daily are a beautiful heart tonic. Garlic - a cleanser of the cardiovascular system. Exercise- cardio exercise builds the strength of your body and your heart. Commit to a daily routine of any movement that gets your heart pumping and body sweating. Emotional work - Be that counselling, breath work, Bowen therapy, sound therapy, prayer ministry, what ever allows you to go deep into your body to heal past hurts and unforgiveness. Spend time with friends and love ones, filling your heart with what it needs most... to give and receive love. As a traditional health practitioner I am hesitant to single out the heart, or the cardiovascular system on its own as one area to treat We are not single organs or body systems. Our whole body works together and one weaken area impacts another. If we are burning our adrenals, have backed up bowels, a thyroid going haywire all will impact our heart health and are important to address in a symbiotic picture. Look after the whole you to gain health and vitality. Please feel free to book in for a full consult to find your areas of imbalance and the herbs, food and lifestyle choices need to bring you back into balance.

When faecal matter is left to long to much moisture is removed and the bowels become dry and stuck, leading to pebble like poo and constipation Like life, we want our bowels to flow Acute constipation can occur from things like travel, stress, medications, shift work, change in routine and is best dealt with quickly. haemorrhoids es of fluids including warm herbal teas, clean water, fresh juices (beetroot is a good detoxifier) Areas to address EMOTIONAL Trauma/abuse Trouble letting go Like to feel in control - counselling, breathwork, bowen therapy NUTRITIONAL Lack of fibre and water Eat 500gm of fruit or vegetables twice a day. Drink 2 litres of fluids including warm herbal teas, clean water, fresh juices (beetroot is a good detoxifer) Oil up the bowels with freshly ground flaxseed, one tablespoon a day, and or chia seeds SUPPLEMENT Magnesium supplementation - dose 200mg increasing up to 1000mg if needed. Take in divided doses Bulking agents such as pysllium husks Probiutics - Blackmores plus is a shelf stable probioitc which contains bacteria specific for constipation.

22.01.2022 Medical astrology. Im loving it. Short course with the amazing Kira Sutherland started tonight. This world is so full of patterns and designs which us mere mortals can only begin to understand. My herbal ancestors knew this and where guided by many things, the stars included. Using medical astrology is another tool in the bag to fine tune plant medicine for the unique soul that sits across from me . ... If its good enough for the three wise men to find baby Jesus its good enough for me to see if its really your liver I should be focusing on

21.01.2022 THIRSTY THURSDAY - You can have a 24hr fast meal time to meal time eg dinner to dinner... Today I am water fasting. I find weekly reboots great for refocusing on my health and life priorities. Whenever I feel a twinge to eat something I remind myself its only 24hrs, I say a quick prayer for someone in my thoughts, or meditate on goals in life or any other thing that comes into my conscience. Its a time to build discipline which serves us in many ways. ... Live feed will return next week as I am currently preparing for a webinar on my cancer journey, Ill share more about that tonight Drink up plant people xx

17.01.2022 Meet Oppy. He is a 3 year old Bichon Frise x toy poodle. He ran at least half of the 180km (maybe more) with me over the last theee weeks. Our goal was hit and completed today. Like me he wants to help prevent young men dying and not sure how to best do this we decided to sign up with #movember You can still donate today if you feel led to, I’m always so dubious where this fund raising money goes. But I have a good feeling about these guys. Link is in the bio. Thankyou for your generously #runningherbalist #mosista

14.01.2022 I love when mother nature draws us all away from the alternate reality of cyber space. I sat with my 13 yr old for almost an hour watching the moon disappear. to be honest I was getting twitchy to go back inside, clean the kitchen and fold the laundry. But I stayed. I needed to, staying still is something I struggle with. I thanked my son for ‘making’ me stop. And thank you Moon and Sun for your eternal delight. Where you able to stop? Even for a moment? It's magical, and allows are to see beyond #lunareclipse #stop #bestillandknow #creation #acreatorsart

11.01.2022 To all the Dads and Dad like folk out there. Thank you for stepping up and leading the young and not so young in the way only a dad can. You are needed to be male role models, much love to my dad and my sons dad Love to all those missing Dads in all different ways.

10.01.2022 I am thrilled to announce that I and my furry companions crossed the line this morning... 180km in what ended up being three weeks. The first week of November one of my own had a mental health crisis and we ended up experiencing both the care and the lack of funding ie staff and facilities that is mental health in Australia. (mindfully knowing that we are better resourced than many other countries ) THANKYOU for all your kind donations. I had no target so was thrilled to bi...ts to hit over $1000. If you would still like to donate towards saving young men's lives I have attached my link here Bless you all and Bless our men xx https://au.movember.com/mospace/14356142

10.01.2022 As the sun rose I headed out for lap 2 of a 6km loop. My body decided it wanted to become one with the earth. My life force, ie blood, spilt on the ground in a spontaneous sacrifice. Now isn’t that enough reason to sponsor me in my #movember quest to help save young men’s lives? 180km by end of November and only half way through Link below https://au.movember.com/mospace/14356142 #mosista #motivation #kisstheearth #itsnotbroken

10.01.2022 Its not all rainbows and butterflies. By nature I am an incurable optimist. I see the goodness, the positive, the laughs in life. but sometimes even for people like me, the sadness and brokenness can start to feel too much. The cry of pain really Lord, THIS too? Depression is rife throughout my extended family and I somehow skipped this predisposition. That does not make me immune to pain and sadness, untouched by my loved ones struggles. Recently I have walked thr...ough my own valley of darkness. In a sermon last night, from the psalms of the Old Testament, ancient times were humans suffered no differently than us today. The writer calls out to his God, and the cries fall on apparent deaf ears, he laments. Spiritual or not, dark places can feel bottomless, endless, where no one hears, cares or understands. Bad stuff happens, people hurt you, abandon you, misunderstand you, there are untimely deaths and injustices. The earth mourns. I have noticed the more I trust in my God, in my path, in my destiny the smaller the pain. The less I trust, the larger the pain grows. I am taking from this bout of depression more empathy for those where depression is a state to operate from not just a moment in time. I have witnessed a window into the headspace of mental health. I hope and pray that those in places of darkness can hold onto the faith that this too will pass, that pain does give way to moments of sunshine. You are loved and wanted on this planet at this time . I can believe for you. Breath deep, remember the healing gifts of our plants, #lavender #chamomile #stjohnswort #vervain #tulsi #passionflower #rose, #hawthorn, #motherwort I have been using the uplifting #Californiapoppy myself. Spend time with a gloriously strong tree, soak in a sunrise or sunset. Be with friends who make you laugh. Go outside when your insides feel dark. Be kind to others, move your body Sunshine on your face, will warm you heart and lift your spirit, even if its just enough to get through the day #depressionispartoflife #itsoktonotbeok #selflovewhenyoufeelnolove #youareneeded #sunshineonyourface #helpotherstohelpyourself #herbsformentalhealth

09.01.2022 Coffee has been associated with longevity in numerous studies (sigh of relief from coffee fans all over the world) I often wonder if the longevity comes from the ritual of a coffee. That #timeout Taking a break from this busy world is, in and of itself, a healing gift. One crazy fact is most people in the modern world get their source of antioxidants from coffee. Not because coffee is crazy high in antioxidants but because folk arent eating enough fruits and veget...ables! If you feel like you need to cut back on our caffeinated friend, chewing the inside of you cheeks or staying awake too long. Then Mother Nature has the perfect cuppa for you. As always # #dandelion #plantmedicine #coffeereplacement

08.01.2022 Lets talk about aging with vitality. An achievable goal if you are willing to take the action required. Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer world wide. Mortality occurs when blood clots block the flow of blood to the heart (heart attack) or the brain (stroke). The world health association identifies the risk of cardio disease as either MODIFIABLE (we can change) eg smoking, hypertension, physical inactivity, high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes. And t...he NON MODIFIABLE eg ethnicity, gender, low socioeconomic status. We can see the emotional impact on heart health, a broken heart being one. The next few days let me share ways we can love on our love muscle and all its companions. I want to see us dancing around at a fine old age not hooked up to machines #agewithvitality #gettingbetterwithage #healthylifestyle #herbalhealing

05.01.2022 I just cant wrap my head around the increasingly common recommendation that fruit is some how *bad* for us. In clinic I have come across folk who have been recommended to cut out all fruit for not only months, but for years! How can a gift of a natural, whole food source of vitamins, minerals, antioxidant, fibre, phytonutrient and just plan yumminess be detrimental to our health? Increased popularity from those proposing a high fat diets such as keto. Or those... using questionable allergy/sensitivity testing seem to be the main culprits. But fruit is full of sugar Fructose in its natural state, inside a piece of fruit is slowly absorbed into the blood stream. Not only fibre but other nutrients are believed to slow the absorption rate as fresh fruit juice also does not give the same blood sugar spike that a soft drink does. A soft drink, mars bar, lollies etc where glucose is absorbed almost instantly gives us the well known sugar rush followed 90 minutes later by a hypo crash and surge of fat into the blood. ONLY FRUCTOSE FROM INDUSTRIAL SOURCES ARE DETRIMENTAL If eating a piece of fruit was the same as processed sugar than wouldnt we 1. Be able to easily swap an afternoon mars bar with an apple 2. Sugar addiction would be the easiest thing to cure, with a bowl of berries no sweat, or withdrawals needed. 3. Have a lot of obese fruit eating chimpanzees etc in our zoos It has been well documented that fruit and vegetable intakes are associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and all-cause mortality. So please reflect and let your inner knowledge and common sense guide you.

03.01.2022 Bird songs and trees. Is there a better start to the day? Nature is my soul food. To be completely honest I have been feeling like crap the last few days. Due to drinking wine on Sunday (as you do ) Since chemo and drug therapy my body can no longer handle my social drink of choice (gin on the other hand.....). Not that I recommend anyone, particularly a breast cancer patient, to be drinking alcohol as it is a risk factor. But hey. We are imperfect humans and... I drink a lot more dandelion tea than alcohol. So anyway I was decluttering a cupboard and thought wine would be a good accompaniment. it wasnt. I have had liver like symptoms, touches of nausea and fatigue for days following. As someone who thrives on feeling awesome and healthy I hate feeling less than if anything it is a good reminder of the power of healthy living. When I feel great, which is my normal, I have the energy to do everything I love (family life, work, study, exercise, repeat) when I dont I lie on the lounge watching #belowdeck or something other mindless dribble. Today is Thirsty Thursday and once again our weekly reboot is perfectly timed. Enough about me and my foibles I hope you are not beating yourself up for less than moments? But jumping back on the health wagon, drinking your fresh juices, herbal brews and getting out amongst the one and only life we are gifted with we got this plant people #lifeisbeautiful #lifeisforliving #chemorecovery #herbalistbluemountains

03.01.2022 Forty friggen Nine last Monday. Last year of my forties decade ... At the precipice of the next half century. I embrace my story. The good, the bad, the heart wrenching. I am dedicating my 49th year to my three brothers. Tim who would be 51, Davin who would be 50 and my youngest Charles who would have been 38 None of them reached 40 so it is an honour that I have. For them I will strive to be all I can be. Live a life of growth, service and love. So many of us ca...rry trauma and pain. Its part of the human journey. The storm that breaks for sunshine. It becomes part of who we are, etched in our souls, allowing us to walk with others in their pain. I have learnt not to sweat the small stuff. To be grateful for what we have, however small, a phone call from a friend, a child who wants to be picked up from the station at a totally inappropriate hour, a family to cook for, a job to go to. Trees to sit under, the sun on my face. There is still so much to see and feel and do when we know how to turn in that direction. Heres to prepping for the next half century peeps. 363 days and counting. See more
