16.01.2022 For those wanting food security

15.01.2022 CURVES, MUFFIN-TOPS, STRESS-WEIGHT OR TOXIC FAT? Fat has become such a sensitive and loaded term that it now requires a barrage of euphemisms to even discuss: p...lus size, heavy set, curvy, husky and teady-bear build are just a sample of those in current vogue. This is in part because our culture has had a very warped approach to body image. Fat-phobia abounds and the magazines still present a very distorted image of the full spectrum of healthy and beautiful body shapes that are out there. Despite all this we still need to be able to publically speak about unhealthy weight gain, and what it could signal. In traditional medicine we speak of the skinny, ecto-morphic ‘Vata’ body type, the muscular, meso-morphic ‘pitta’ constitution, and the heavy-set, endo-morphic ‘kapha’ constitution. The basic point is that some folk are naturally and healthily much higher on the BMI than others. This is something to be celebrated. In addition to this however, there is an epidemic of obesity that has swept the west and is now affecting developing economies that is morbid and unhealthy. The drivers of this are multiple, complex and diverse but here are four examples of different clinical pictures I frequently encounter that require totally different treatment approaches. #1 Curves This is the healthy constitutional version and simply requires celebrating. It is easy for such constitutions to get digestive problems, congestive problems, low energy and unhealthy weight gain however, so Ayurveda recommends a light, spicy warming diet and plenty of exercise to keep their metabolic fires burning strong. #2 Muffin Tops This is the garden variety and uncomplicated picture of calorically driven weight gain. It is by far the most common and is driven by a lifestyle that our genes are just not adapted to: high calories + Inactivity. It even effects skinny folk and is known as ‘normal weight obesity’ and presents as low body fat on the limbs and face but a paunch that signifies the abdominal organs are coated in a 'belly-fat-donut' of deep adipose tissue. This is a major disease risk even if you are within normal weight ranges and is relatively simple to address: change your diet and modify your exercise regime. #3 Stress-Weight So whilst everyone knows that thyroid function can negatively impact weight gain, adrenal function is less well known. Recent research confirms that adrenal compounds such as cortisol actually cause us to store fat centrally around our organs. This was probably a positive thing for our hunter-gather ancestors, but in the high-stress, high toxin, high calorie environment of the 21st century it’s a nightmare. The sympathetic nervous system’s response of fight or flight actually switches off the rest & digest (and detox) nervous functions which is why higher belly fat is associated with lower serotonin and increased depression. Experienced body-workers have long noted that fat often (but not always) acts as a kind of body armor, and that when the underlying emotions are released from the musculature they are stored in that the fat just melts away. Be that as it may, this is a terrible cycle for many people as stress creates fat and fat creates stress (in a similar way that inflammation creates fatigue and fatigue creates inflammation). These folk don’t generally need to focus on calories and exercise either, but require adaptogenic herbs like ginseng and deep emotional support and healing. Somewhat counter-intuitively caffeine is a terrible thing for stressed-fat, so coffee is no-go here. #4 Toxic Fat This is perhaps the least well recognised of these patterns but is attracting more research. It basically means that the weight gain is not calorically induced but is instead a response to environmental pollutants. We now know that adipose tissue (fat) acts as a storage compartment for lipophilic (fat soluble) toxins /POPs. These accumulated POPs are slowly released into the bloodstream, and more so during weight loss - meaning this needs to be done very carefully under supported conditions. In this pattern, toxic fat constitutes a continual source of internal exposure to stored industrial pollutants. In addition to this many such pollutants induce obesogenic effects and pro-inflammatory states which then leads to even more unhealthy metabolic effects. Diabetes research indicates that such pollutants are a major driver that has been significantly overlooked. What these folk need is a detox that involves a complex process called lipid-replacement therapy which basically flushes out the fat soluble toxins stored in the adipose tissue by providing a clean supply of healthy fats, together with improving normal pathways of elimination. Diet and exercise don’t work for these folk. So.... in summary if you’re naturally curvy then just keep celebrating your voluptuous beauty. If you have more weight than is healthy for your frame, then see what it could be telling you - but celebrate your voluptuous beauty all the same. Body shaming sucks, but health is wealth. X

14.01.2022 Naturopathic consults ONLINE are just as effective as inclinic Collecting a detailed Health History is what I base most of my treatment plan on.... how was yo...ur birth? Have you been in hospital? What health conditions run in your family? What recent blood tests have you had? What has happened in your life up until now contributes to what is going on. Disease does not happen overnight! I am like a health detective... connecting the dots to discover the underlying CAUSE of the problem. People don't think health conditions are related.... a man complains of low energy and libido but forgets to tell me he has an enlarged prostate. Well low testosterone and high estrogen can contribute to all those symptoms. Another man came to see me because he started getting panic attacks and anxiety. Through collecting his health history I discovered he got his first UTI around the same time.... once I treated the UTI with antimicrobials his anxiety went away! Gut health and our microbiome can affect our MOOD... so you see we need to treat the WHOLE BODY. Online I can send you any TESTS you need to do - stool tests, hormone tests, even pathology tests for QML. I can order supplements to be delivered to your door.... and online I look better with a filter So you can have a Naturopathic consult with me while staying at home. Many people are finding self isolation to be a good time to clean up their diet and do a detox. As a Nutritionist I can support you with this. Might as well make the most of this time if you still prefer meeting in person I am working from @flannerysorganic in Benowa and @zumahealth in Burleigh Message me or book through my website for an appointment. . . . . #naturopath #stayhealthy #detox #holistichealth #support #diet #guthealth #mthfr #methylation #epigenetics #energy #anxiety #depression #moodsupport #healthykids #community #stresssupport #adrenalfatigue #mentalhealth #menshealth #selfisolation #stayhome #herbalist #immunesupport #COVID-19 See more
