Click on the link below to see the research https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2729375/ Maybe you have been to a doctor’s office about how you are constantly feeling low on energy, upset, or having digestive problems, as you know within yourself something is not quite right. And you have been told that "it's all in your head" as there is no medical explanation as to what is wrong.
This can all be quite demoralising and paralysing which stops us from achieving what we once thought was possible and causes us to feel so lost it's like we are stuck in a rut. Well, yes we are fighting an uphill battle when we are continuously bombarded with misinformation. Instead of trying so hard to find out what is wrong, consider finding out why your constantly feeling low on energy, upset and having digestive problems and look at what you can do to resolve incessant thoughts.

We can help you to find out why you feel the way that you do. We will work together with you to improve your energy, achieve a positive mindset and a better state of health.

Taking a holistic approach to natural weight loss is not about going on a “diet”, it is about teaching your body mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually to be able to eat healthier and promote your optimal function.
Weight reducing diets and programs are short lived with mixed results. Even though they can help to lose weight, they do have a strong tendency to lose their credibility when it comes to maintaining the weight loss for good. In specific cases, weight reducing and obesity diets can actually cause new health and wellbeing problems. Eating correctly and modifying your lifestyle won’t just make you look and feel good, it will improve your immune system which will go on to improving your gut health, it will give you back hidden energy, it will reduce the effects of stress on your body, it will lead to natural weight loss. This is the holistic approach to achieving natural weight loss goals. Besides, through making these modifications you will lower your risk of disease and establish healthy routines that can be managed for life. Nutritional supplementation can also play a significant role in your weight loss journey to make sure your body is functioning as optimally as it can to achieve natural weight loss. B vitamins are known as energy vitamins which aid in combatting fatigue and improving metabolism. In preference to directly influencing weight loss, they help to support your body to promote its own fat burning ability. Like B vitamins Iron can also aid in combatting fatigue and improve your energy by carrying oxygen to all of your cells and muscles, this consecutively leads to promoting your body’s own fat burning ability. Vitamin D along with magnesium are both essential nutrients for supporting a healthy immune system, also they are very beneficial for having a positive mindset which is crucial for achieving natural weight loss and promoting your optimal function. We will support you and discover what you require to eat healthier to achieve natural weight loss and promote your optimal function.

We may-be living in uncertain times and the situation we are currently facing is causing all sorts of mixed feelings for many of us!
But we are rising up and meeting what is being asked of us despite not really having a choice about the situation that has arisen in our lives! Finding unrealised strengths to rise up and doing the best we can, however unprepared or scared we may feel! This is what “Bravery and Heroic Courage” is all about, it’s the keeping on doing when we don't want to! And bravery and heroic courage is teaching us that we may not be able to control the situation but we can muster up a mindset that helps us to get through these uncertain times and lets us gain knowledge of our own strengths! If you or you know someone who is finding it hard to cope and would like to gain knowledge in difficult times, I would like to help! Focus your attention for a moment on "Solution", notice how it has more light to it as opposed to "Problem" where it has more darkness about it?
It’s no secret that men's health tends to be put by the way side in comparison to women's health when it comes to prevention and picking up small changes! Now that’s not to say it is entirely your fault Men, its mostly due to men’s health issues being under funded which has resulted in a lack of awareness and the cultural narratives with regards to masculinity being learnt from an early age, as research over time has shown.
All the men in our lives hold great importance and value, they are creators, protectors, doers, fixers and so much more. Hearing the terms “be a man” or “man up” from an early age to conform to these attributes of being strong, tough, brave and self-reliant needs to change to include the importance of men’s health and well-being issues. Men you can still have these attributes and still be perceived as strong, brave, tough and self-reliant but men’s health and well-being should be a priority to maintain these attributes because without health and wellness, it affects the pursuit of being strong, brave, tough and self-reliant. In good time, many health and well-being conditions that men may be exposed to can be prevented and any small changes can be picked up and treated if identified early. To start taking better care of your health men, it is vital for you to recognise symptoms of ill health and understand their risk factors and what you can do to improve and promote your optimal health and well-being. The most generally known health conditions that affect men are heart disease, prostate issues, testicular and colon cancer, and osteoporosis. What is less known and not spoken much about is men’s mental, behavioural and emotional health issues they may face like anxiety, depression and PTSD. All of these conditions and issues later in life have crucial nutritional implications. Men’s Health is just as important as Women’s health, so men it’s time to make your health a priority! And if you make pretensions of doing so today, you will have laid the foundations to a brighter future and to being on road to a peaceful path of good health and wellness! Whether you are sick, have questions or a problem, I can help you find appropriate solutions to improve and promote your optimal health and well-being to create strength and empower you! To all Women out there who have significant Men in your life please make it known to them that seeking professional healthcare advice for whatever reason(s) does not mean they will be judged or lose the respect from their family, friends, colleagues, women or healthcare professionals! Our skin is actually our first line of defense to protect us from harmful bacteria and viruses!
Regular thorough handwashing and/or hand sanitising is essential to maintain good hygiene, however you may need to moisturise your hands as well, to prevent them from drying out! Dry and irritated skin can possibly damage your skin’s integrity and increase the risk of harmful bacteria and viruses particularly now wintery weather is here! Particularly if you have sensitive skin issues like eczema or psoriasis. Natural hand lotions and salves are ideal! If you wear protective gloves you may want to consider avoiding the use of petroleum or mineral based moisturising products as they can impair the integrity of protective gloves! There are other helpful ways to protect your skin's integrity, to find out more make an appointment with us!
Back pain can be a major disruptor in performing routine day to day tasks for some people and animals! Back pain is one of the primary causes of reduced working hours! Around 80% of the Australian adult population will be affected by back pain!
If you experience back pain of any type you know you’re not alone! The origin of back pain can be a result from one or more of the following factors such as:
Back pain does not have to mean enduring the suffering when you hear words of “it’s just one of those things you just have to learn to live with”! Don’t give back pain the power to govern you! You are in charge of your own life! Focus on what you can do, not what you can’t because nobody else can do what you can do any better! Treating back pain with an individualised holistic approach will treat the root cause(s) of back pain and provide you with much needed relief from the pain you are feeling! Are you getting up out of bed without a spring in your step to start each day? Are you going to bed exhausted but cannot switch off?
I understand not being able to sleep is irritating, exhausting and distressing but worrying about it will not help. Instead of putting up with counting sheep and getting little to no sleep see a naturopath and/or nutritionist who can help you to achieve much sounder sleep. You cannot argue that everyone needs their sleep! But around one in five people find getting adequate sleep is a real challenge. Not being able to sleep can happen throughout sickness but mostly it happens when people are in a state of stress or anxiety. One area I look at when sleep is an issue is the feet. Why the feet? The feet have the ability to reveal signs and symptoms of stress, which are often overlooked and not thought of when your trying to find out why you cannot sleep. If your someone who finds themselves counting more sheep than you are getting sleep consider working with me so I can help you achieve sounder sleep so you can start each day with a spring in your step. Do you want to find out how strong you truly are it doesn't take much? Just small changes can make the world a difference on your perceived outlook on life! One of those is by means of communication which some males have tendencies to not do when it comes to their own health and well-being! Strength does not come about by harboring and suppressing emotions and feelings that need to be listened to and heard! The moment you start to hold on to everything internally your body physically is beginning to manifest chronic illness! Mentally you are experiencing anxiety and potentially other affective disorders i.e depression or perhaps you may be experiencing PTSD which is inhibiting communication (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)! Emotionally and Spiritually you lose connection with your own worth and value! If your a male that relates to harboring and suppressing how you feel about life i.e. health; work/career; studies; finances; family; children's health and welfare; relationships; etc you should consider investing in some time to communicate how you feel to a holistic health care practitioner like me who is only to happy to listen to you and if desired provide you some professional advice and recommendations on what you can do further to help yourself realise how strong you truly are! Erectile dysfunction is distinguished by decreased nerve and endothelium function that impacts the balance between contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle of the blood vessels in the penis. In other words the inability to gain or sustain
an erection for intercourse. Common symptoms such as low libido, stress and fatigue are an indication other underlying causes are involved such as atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, low testosterone, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Any combination of the above underlying causative factors influences circulatory and structural alterations in penile tissue which leads to reduced arterial flow and dysfunctional smooth muscle relaxation, which is a precursor to a potential heart attack and affects vascular, neurological and hormonal functions. If your a male that has Erectile Dysfunction issues please consider speaking with a Naturopath and Nutritionist like myself as many things can be done to improve your manly health and well-being and prevent the potential of a heart attack. |
