Bio Concepts

Bio Concepts At Bio Concepts, quality independent and cutting-edge education has underpinned every facet of the business since its’ inception over 40 years ago.

Our mission to reduce the burden of chronic disease and create a healthier future. Bio Concepts was founded in 1984 by Nutritional Biochemist and author Henry Osiecki. Henry has published a number of text books on nutrition including The Nutrient Bible and his more recent text book, Cancer: The Importance of Clinical Nutrition. He also spent time as a research scientist and published a number of s

cientific papers in peer reviewed journals. Henry has been an integral part of the development and success of this company, helping Bio Concepts to be the first to bring a number of key nutrients into the Australian market such as CoQ10, Lipoic Acid and Acetyl-L- Carnitine. He was also the first to introduce glucosamine into Australia and promote this as the anti-arthritic formulae in the early 1990’s. He has played a pivotal role in changing the pharmaceutical model of formulations into a nutritional model and is the founder of the concept of synergistic formulations in an era where only orthomolecular high dose nutrients were available. Bio Concepts provide interactive learning to naturopaths, clinical nutritionists and mental health clinicians, as well as providing synergistic nutritional formulations for patient care. Through our educational Seminars, Workshops and Symposiums, along with our web-based educational activities and online resources, Bio Concepts’ education simplifies complex concepts to enhance clinicians understanding on a range of conditions. Bio Concepts practitioner members also have access to online resources at www.bioconcepts.com.au with a focus on the essentials of nutritional biochemistry in areas such as Mental Health, Cancer Prevention and Support, Inflammatory Disease and Epigenetics.

🌸 PCOS isn’t one-size-fits-all.
There are 4 key phenotypes, each with unique drivers and support needs:

✨ Inflammatory PCOS
Characterised by chronic inflammation, fatigue, and digestive issues.
Support tip: Focus on anti-inflammatory diet, gentle movement, and gut health.

✨ Insulin-Resistant PCOS
Often linked to blood sugar imbalances and weight gain.
Support tip: Prioritise low-GI meals, strength training, and stress reduction to improve insulin sensitivity.

✨ Adrenal PCOS
Driven by stress and elevated DHEA-S levels, not testosterone.
Support tip: Emphasise stress management and balanced nutrition to support adrenal health.

✨ Post-Pill PCOS
Symptoms emerge after stopping hormonal birth control.
Support tip: Support hormone detox pathways, liver health, and cycle tracking to restore balance.

Feeling the mid-afternoon crash or sugar spikes? These simple strategies can help stabilise your energy and mood throughout the day:

1️⃣ Prioritise Adequate Protein – Keeps you fuller for longer and supports steady glucose levels.
2️⃣ Choose Complex Carbohydrates – Think whole grains, legumes, and veggies for slow-release energy.
3️⃣ Stay Hydrated – Water plays an important role in supporting metabolic function and reduces cravings.
4️⃣ Skip Alcohol & Energy Drinks – These can spike blood sugar and disrupt sleep.

When stress sticks around, resilience starts to wear thin.
Let’s break down the 3 stages of long-term stress and how they impact adrenal function:

1️⃣ Alarm – the body’s initial reaction to stress.
🔺Overactive adrenal response floods the system with cortisol and adrenaline.

2️⃣ Resistance – the body tries to adapt and cope.
🟡 Healthy allostatic response keeps things stable, but stress is still simmering.

3️⃣ Exhaustion – the system starts to break down.
⚠️ Insufficient adrenal response leads to burnout, fatigue, and immune challenges.
