We saw our 4th positive MARCoNS test within 3 weeks today. MARCoNS are an antibiotic-resistant form of staph found within the nasal cavity that can lead to an infection, overgrowth, and chronic health issues, including symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), fibromyalgia, multiple chemical sensitivity, chronic L!me disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus, and other autoimmune conditions. MARCoNS may also play a role in Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS).

For these 4 patients, the most pressing symptoms they presented with was chronic sinusitis & fatigue.

Though MARCoNS can present similar to various chronic health issues, including fibromyalgia and autoimmune conditions. Symptoms of MARCoNS may include:

- Persistent Cough
- Fatigue
- Difficulty focusing and concentrating
- Memory issues
- Brain fog
- Headaches or migraines
- Joint pain
- Stiffness in the morning
- Facial and/or sinus pain
- Sinus congestion
- Tearing of the eyes
- Red eyes
- Sensitivity to eyes
- Shortness of breath
- Night sweats
- Temperature dysregulation

As the name suggests, antibiotic resistant infections are a bu**er to treat. Most antibiotics prescribed for their persistent sinusitis, only made the bacteria biofilm stronger and more resistant.

The good news is that with the right treatment approach, we can eradicate the infection, without causing the residual damage that recurrent rounds of antibiotics do and have these patients feeling better again short term but long term save them a lifetime of medical issues 🙏

Have you ever had that experience where you've paid good money to see a specialist, waited months for the appointment, only to feel deflated and disappointed because it wasn't what you'd thought it would be? Or you just don't "vibe" with the practitioner?

Our Discovery Calls help you avoid that. They will help you get a feeling for the practitioner and ask any questions you may have BEFORE you invest your money, time & energy.

For the remainder of February Danyel, Sarah & Bec are all offering complimentary Discovery Calls. A little "Try before you buy" if you will.

We have appointments available this week with all praccies, just follow the link in the bio, read their profiles and book yourself in for a no obligation chat 🙌🏼

Case Study:
7 yr old female, presented with reoccurring worm infestations and behavioural issues.

We ordered a Complete Microbiome Mapping which gives us information on short chain fatty acids, digestion ability, detoxification via bowel, intestinal permeability, likelihood of food intolerances, yeast growth, bacterial pathogens, viral pathogens & beneficial flora.

Results show:
- Leaky gut
- Likely food sensitivities
- Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth SIBO (the worst case I've personally seen in a child this age).

Note: digestive issues were NOT the presenting symptom. Child has normal bowel motions. No complaints of pain or signs of bloating.
Behaviour was the significant presenting issue as well as the twice yearly bout of worms.

The gut absolutely steers the ship when it comes to behaviour.
This child's Mum was advised to medicate her child to help her behaviour & focus. Medication will do absolutely nothing to fix this.

But the right diet & supplements will.

Beautiful skin is an inside job ✨
When we find the root cause for unhappy skin, we can find the fix.
For this beautiful patient, it was bacterial overgrowth in the gut and inefficient clearance of oestrogen via the liver (assessed through a Comprehensive Stool Analysis & Hormone Urine Spot test through our clinic).
Then it was a matter of supporting the gut & the liver so that our biggest detoxification system (the skin) wasn't having to do all the work of eliminating toxic build up.

It took some time, but the result was beautiful clear skin and one happy, confident & glowing patient.

If you're ready to find the root cause for your unhappy skin, reach out and we can help you get your glow back too ✨

These two legends are in clinic over the school holidays and beyond.

Danyel, our Clinical Nutritionist & Functional Medicine Practitioner is back taking new patients 🙌🏼

She's been loving working with her patients suffering from Chronic Disease, Digestive Dysfunction, Autoimmune conditions, Complex "too hard basket" cases & Metabolic Dysfunction.

In fact she's had a number of her patients reach the point of not needing her anymore (music to any holistic practitioners ears) because they are feeling well & empowered to take the reigns again, meaning she now has space to take on new cases.
If you'd like to book a Discovery Call with Danyel to work out if she's the right practitioner for you, you can do so through our website. Or if you're a jump right in kind of person, get yourself booked in for an Initial Consultation and start your path to a healthier you straight away.

Sarah our Clinical Nutritionist has been working magic with neurodiverse families, helping Mum & children develop a health blueprint that takes into account their nutrition, sleep & stress management. Fun fact: did you know that Nutritional consultations can often by covered under NDIS funding? Such a bonus!

She's also LOVING working with peri & post menopausal women to help manage or completely eliminate symptoms and improve her aging outcomes.

Throw in some gut health patients and she's one focused practitioner! Sarah is still offering free Discovery Calls to chat, as well as introductory pricing for all her other services. Sarah works Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays so is available for all your needs.

We are a 100% online clinic, with our consultations run via zoom or Telehealth. All functional testing is delivered via post and sent directly back to our lab. It's never been easier to access better health, no matter where you live in the world 🍏

Hypothyroidism, also called underactive thyroid, is when the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormones to meet your body’s needs. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck. Its main role is to produce & secrete hormones that control your metabolism.

Common symptoms of an underactive thyroid include:
- fatigue
- weight gain
- constipation
- trouble tolerating cold temperatures - joint and muscle pain
- dry skin and/or dry, thinning hair
- heavy or irregular periods
- fertility problems
- slowed heart rate
- depression

What are some causes?
- nutrient deficiencies
- hormonal imbalances
- leaky gut
- chronic stress
- mould toxicity
- heavy metal exposure
- infections

How can this be tested?
It is essential to get a thorough thyroid panel tested through your GP, Naturopath or Clinical Nutritionist.
A full panel Includes:
TSH, T3, T4, rt3 & antibodies
*TSH alone, is not a sufficent marker of thyroid function.
Also look at possible nutritional deficiencies such as iodine, iron, magnesium, vit d, zinc, selenium & tyrosine.

Avoid eating:
broccoli, brussel sprouts, kale, cauliflower, sweet potato, gluten, alcohol

Eat more:
brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds, lean protein, kelp, nori, oysters, sardines, eggs, tuna, organ meats

Follow us for more tips or book in a free discovery call to chat with one of our practitioners about your thyroid health 🍏

Dear GP's,

Here's an idea. Maybe rather than refusing basic blood tests or requests for referrals for patients who present unwell and with a long list of symptoms, you could, I don't know, maybe ASK SOME QUESTIONS.

I know how busy you are, so I've jotted down some here to save you time:

How long have you been feeling that way?
How are you sleeping?
Have you experienced much stress lately?
How's your diet?
Are you exercising?
Are you drinking enough water?
Do you have strong social connections?
Is there any water damage in your home?

You know as well as I do that all of the above impact your patients health.

While we're at it, here's some other things you could say rather than questioning creditials or refusing to refer to other practitioners:

Well done for being proactive in your health care and trying to avoid lifelong medications!

Well done for being an advocate for your own well-being!

Although your blood work is all within range, I understand you're still feeling unwell, so I'm going to work with you to help you find the answers or if I can't, I'll refer you to someone who can.

Also, I know how fond you of writing those scripts, I'm going to save you some printer ink and give you a list of people you can advice your patient to seek support from BEFORE using pharmaceuticals as the last resort:

A Clinical Nutritionist
A Naturopath
A Chiropractor
A Remedial Massage Therapist
An Exercise Professional
A Holistic Counsellor/Therapist

I respect the time and money you've poured into your studies. And I can also empathise with the time constraints you're working under. But if sending as many patients out of your practice feeling unheard & unsupported is your measure of success, I think you've invested that time & money poorly.

Your patients need a better approach from you. Be the change the health system needs.

Signed,

A Practitioner who just wants the best health outcome for their patients
