If you can get to sleep OK but wake early, try magnesium. Magnesium helps melatonin last longer through the night. Use magnesium glycinate and aim for 400-600mg elemental magnesium.

On the other hand, your nervous system might be confused about whether to assimilate or excrete magnesium, so supplements alone might not be effective. Kinesiology can detect this confusion and can support neurological correction.

Tasty nutrition snack #3: iron.

If your doctor says 'It's normal for women to have low iron, don't worry about it' or if you are one point above the cut off for deficiency and the doctor says 'that's fine, you're within the range', please get a new doctor. If you are anywhere near the lower end of the range you are deficient.

You can be deficient in iron for 2 years before it shows as anaemia. Iron is needed for over 90 enzyme systems, everything from making serotonin to thyroid function.

Do you need meat? Not really. Pumpkin seeds, cashews and dark chocolate all have more iron per 100g than red meat.

Why do some iron supplements constipate you? Because you can only absorb about 20mg per day, and ferrograd-c and maltofer are both 100mg of iron. So your body tries to get rid of the excess via your bowel.

Iron is super important for children as well. If your child is not sleeping well, unsettled at school, tired, moody and miserable, catches every illness that goes around, or if you're thinking possible ADHD, please investigate iron levels first.

We get told that it is 'selfish' of us to do things for ourselves. But really, isn't the person who expects you to constantly do things for them the one who is being selfish?

Get comfortable with the idea of saying no.

Even better, get comfortable with the idea of saying no without needing to justify yourself.

It is ok to honour your own feelings.

It is ok to do the things you love to do, without feeling guilty.

It is ok to be happy and enjoy your life. To rest when you need to. To allow yourself 'you' time. Regardless of what other people think or say.

If you find that you are struggling to do things for yourself, for the pure joy of it, then you probably have a lot of childhood conditioning that's needs to be released.

This is where Kinesiology comes in.

Release the past and create the life that 'you' want.
No guilt attached. 🙂🙂

Tasty nutrition snack #2: Vitamin C is balls-out amazing.

Vitamin C has demonstrated:
anti-bacterial
anti-viral
anti-inflammatory
anti-oxidant
anti-depressant
anti-psychotic
anti-hypertensive properties.

Seriously, if there were a drug that did 5% of what Vit C does it would be a famous wonder drug. Vitamin C balances serum cholesterol - it reduces LDL and boosts HDL if low.

Vit C is needed to make neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. It protects all our tissues from oxidative stress, and this is particularly important in the brain, which is basically water and fragile fats.

How important is it? Consider our sense of taste - umami, sweet, bitter, salty and sour. Umami detects proteins, sweet detects carbohydrates or energy, bitter warns us of plant poisons, salty detects sodium and other minerals, and sour detects Vitamin C content in food. It's got a whole set of taste buds to itself.

Vitamin C is most concentrated in our adrenal glands and our brain.

If you're thinking 'I had a cold once and took a Vitamin C tablet and it didn't do anything' that's because you need it in high doses every day, around 3000-5000mg per day.

TASTY NUTRITION SNACK #1:
Collagen cream is a myth. Sorry.

Collagen is a large protein molecule, you can't assimilate it through your skin. You have cells called fibroblasts which make collagen in the body wherever it is needed. For instance, they travel to the site of injuries to repair tissue. They use amino acids which we get from protein in our food.

Fibroblasts need vitamin C to work, which is why in scurvy (extreme vitamin C deficiency) your connective tissue starts to disintegrate --- you can't make collagen without vitamin C. It's also why smokers end up looking haggard. Smoking depletes vitamin C, so they can't make collagen for skin.

So, if you want to boost collagen production, start supplementing with vitamin C (3000-5000mg per day) and make sure your protein intake is adequate - about a gram of protein per kg body weight per day, more if you are a child, elderly, pregnant, breastfeeding, bodybuilding or recovering from illness. A typical 60kg woman will need about 60g of protein per day, spread across her meals for maximum utilisation.

Just putting it out there. Who would be interested in a Mobile Kinesiology service, where I come to you?

I have responded to a few emergency requests lately - severe depression, someone leaving a DV situation, a nervous breakdown, things like that and have realized that there are probably many people in similar situations; people who require assistance, but either can't or don't want to travel.

So. I am located near Imbil, and will offer a mobile service to areas within an hours travel time.

I will set up a new booking option on my booking page. It will be a three hour time slot (to allow for travel back and forth and the session) and will also incur an extra $20 fee to cover the cost of petrol.

Let me know via comments or messenger what your thoughts are.

I'm excited!!
