When you are sleep deprived, your brain will get foggy and will start to change how you see the world.

Research shows a tired brain will remember negative experiences over positive ones.

This creates a theoretical emotional tunnel where your worldview is skewed and filtered through negativity.

This happens because our brain is running on “low battery” and prioritises threats over joy. We are programmed to survive so joy or happiness are not essential to survival like noticing threats or danger.

Chronic sleep loss will distort your memory, fuel anxiety, and feed depressive thinking.

Do not worry as this can be repaired through correct input and the brains great ability to adapt called neuroplasticity. We can help!! If you would like more information or to improve your health contact us at IHC :)

Feeling tired and lethergic?
Although it is comfy to curl up on the couch it is important to get up and stretch stimulating the nervous system and releasing endorphins which help with alertness!

With so many people in Ballarat under the weather at the moment, lots of our patients are asking "is there anything I can take to stop myself from getting sick?"

These are a few of our favourites,

❄️ Zinc - to boost immune cell production - 25mg per day (make sure you take it with food, you'll feel sick otherwise!!)

❄️ Vitamin D - to help regulate your immune response - 1000 IU per day

❄️ Vitamin C - to help protect your immune cells - 1000mg per day

👑 And our 'holy grail', Immunitone Plus by - includes a combination of traditional herbal medicine and mushrooms (!) to help boost and regulate your immune response. Lots of the team swear by this one. (3 capsules per day)

We have plenty on hand, so don't be afraid to drop into the clinic if you need a top up over the school holidays.

So we are 1 week in to “Dry July” and we are definitely feeling some benefits already. 😊

Even though we are all only “social drinkers” it is amazing that we have felt some changes already. Our quality of sleep 😴 has improved, waking earlier and with better energy.

Has it been difficult? Nope 🙂‍↔️ Not for us anyway.

If you think you can’t start dry July now, and that it’s too late. Think again. In fact, if you think you “can’t” go 3 weeks without alcohol then maybe that’s why you should try 🤔 🥂

*A shout out to Jodie who has been “dry” for years now. She really is a smart cookie 🍪 🧠 💚

Who is doing “Dry July” this year?

Bron, Jodie, Drew and Kerry are in. Who else out there is crazy enough to do dry July 4 days out from school holidays? 🤔 🤪

Tell us what your motivation is for coming off the booze for a whole month!! Cheers 🍻 🥂
