This week is Neurodiversity Celebration Week.

It is a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences.

When it comes to inclusion, neurodiversity refers to a world where neurological differences are recognised and respected as all other human variations.

Depending on how our brains are wired, we think, move, process information and communicate in different ways. And we can all benefit from different thinkers!

Did you know your kidneys:

- Make urine
- Remove wastes and extra fluid from your blood
- Control your body’s chemical balance
- Help control your blood pressure
- Help keep your bones healthy
- Help you make red blood cells

It’s important to take care of your kidneys.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major and growing global health challenge, affecting 1 in 10 people worldwide.

Here’s to International Women’s Day 💐❤️

Reflecting upon the impact that women in my life have had and continue to have this evening.

Being a Sunday night - I’m sure that many of you are similarly getting ready for the week ahead - going through the usual mental “checklists” of what’s on, what’s needed and perhaps trying to take a moment for yourself. As the principle GP and owner at Upward Life - I get it - juggling work, family and self! And want to toast a cuppa to all those amazing women that continue to do the majority of the silent, unseen busy work that is life!

Thankyou!! 💕

Australia has the highest melanoma rates in the world.

Melanoma is the most common cancer affecting 20 to 39-year-old Australians, and one Aussie is diagnosed with the disease every 30 minutes. It is estimated 1,300 Australians will die from melanoma this year.

Melanoma March celebrates Melanoma Institute Australia’s major annual fundraising campaign, bringing together melanoma patients, their families, and local communities to raise awareness and funds for research — all working towards the shared goal of zero deaths from melanoma.
