There is a lot of weight-loss noise on FB/ Insta feeds at the moment. Things like:
“Join the 30 day challenge”
“Eat Keto and win”
“Food Prep for weight loss”

Whilst it’s all intriguing information that can bring on a feeling of “yeah.. i can do this” while watching the dopamine inducing video, the statistics show, weight loss after a decision on a New Year’s resolution is generally unsuccessful. In fact, 86% of the 40-50 year old population put on weight every year, an average of 3kg a year! This weight compounds, and before you know it, the hormonal changes, sleep debt, parenting stress, elevated cortisol and muscle loss have us sitting at an obese weight range that is overwhelmingly difficult to shift.

If going to the gym or following a diet was easy, we wouldn’t have an obesity epidemic.

Most of us eat s**t because we are stressed and tired, not because we are stupid. I rarely need to educate a person on healthy eating in clinic. Most of us have a fair idea of what that means but here’s the thing…. we need the ENERGY to do it.

It is my firm belief, that if I can improve a persons energy by using natural medicine short term to:
✔️Induce deep quality sleep
✔️Reduce cortisol levels/ balance hormones
✔️Boost vitamins necessary for energy and mental clarity
✔️Detox the bowels and liver for a healthy system

Then you feel GOOD, ENERGY is HIGH and we suddenly have the motivation to make steak and veg for dinner tonight as well as a packed lunch box of fruit and sandwiches for the road trip planned tomorrow, as opposed to a microwave dinner tonight and Maccas at 11am somewhere on the Bruce Highway after skipping breakfast because the sleep in was apparently worth it.

So this is what I can do for you - a quick blood test to check iron, B12, testosterone, progesterone, thyroid etc to see what your body needs. While I’m waiting for the lab results, a quick detox over a few days, followed by professional interpretation of your results, a MASSIVE BOOST IN ENERGY and believe me, you will already be half way there on your weight loss goals.

Telehealth or face to face - choice is yours, pathology can be done Australia wide at your local lab, any medicines required we courier to your door.
How often do you need to see me? As often as you want. For some people it’s twice a year to get them on track and review. Others prefer every 4 or 8 weeks. You lead the way and I’ll support you with what suits.

My advice: focus on cleaning up the body and boosting energy. Performance always improves after a tune-up.

See you soon :)

Can you catch a heart attack?” A new study suggests hidden bacterial biofilms can lurk silently inside arterial plaque for decades, shielded from the immune system until a viral illness or other trigger awakens them. Once activated, the bacteria fuel inflammation that ruptures vulnerable plaques and blocks blood flow, leading to a heart attack.

Specifically, researchers report that viridans-group streptococci (common oral bacteria) are embedded as biofilms inside human atherosclerotic plaques, where they can hide from immune surveillance. When these biofilms disperse, they appear to trigger local innate-immune activation and inflammation, plausibly weakening the plaque fibrous cap and promoting rupture—the immediate event behind many myocardial infarctions, especially in men. The team detected viridans streptococcal DNA frequently within plaques and outlined a mechanistic model of biofilm-driven, immune-evading persistence with episodic activation that may precipitate rupture.

Prior supporting evidence makes this discovery credible. For example, bacterial DNA was identified in coronary thrombus aspirates from heart attack patients. Also, large reviews highlight the links between periodontitis and cardiovascular disease, detailing plausible pathways (bacteraemia, endotoxins, molecular mimicry etc) and frequent detection of periodontal pathogens within vascular tissue.

Professor Pekka Karhunen, the study’s lead author, explains that until now it was widely believed that coronary artery disease was primarily driven by oxidised low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which the body identifies as a foreign substance.

The study was conducted by Tampere and Oulu Universities, Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare and the University of Oxford. Tissue samples were obtained from individuals who had died from sudden cardiac death, as well as from patients with atherosclerosis who were undergoing surgery to cleanse carotid and peripheral arteries.

“Bacterial involvement in coronary artery disease has long been suspected, but direct and convincing evidence has been lacking. Our study demonstrated the presence of genetic material – DNA – from several oral bacteria inside atherosclerotic plaques,” Karhunen explains.

This study provides a mechanistic link to oral health and periodontitis management as a key cardiovascular risk-modifying strategy. See my recent posting on licorice.

It should be kept in mind that while the ‘biofilm → dispersal → rupture’ model is compelling, direct real-time observation in human plaques is impossible.

Specifically, bacterial dispersal might be a consequence rather than a cause of fibrous cap weakening.

Contemporary reviews and consensus statements now frame oral health as integral to overall health across the lifespan, with credible links to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, adverse pregnancy outcomes, pneumonia, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney disease, dementia, and even some cancers, especially colon. While the evidence comes from observational studies (association not causation), the associations are generally strong and causality signals are strengthening through Mendelian randomisation, intervention trials and mechanistic data, but do vary by condition. Guideline/consensus bodies now explicitly recommend medical-dental co-management for cardiometabolic risk.

Oral dysbiosis/infection from bacteria appears to be the causal link, driving low-grade systemic inflammation and endotoxaemia, recurrent bacteraemia, immune priming, molecular mimicry and microbiome translocation (oral–gut axis).

In this context, the finding that a Chinese licorice root (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) mouthwash slashed plaque and gum-inflammation scores by around 40–50 % in just five days has implications well beyond just oral health. The herb wiped out several major periodontal pathogens, including Porphyromonas gingivalis and Treponema denticol, and substantially outperformed the speed of improvement seen in green-tea or conventional mouthwash trials. These results spotlight licorice as a fast-acting, natural antimicrobial for gum and oral health.

This was a randomised, double blind, controlled study conducted on 60 patients who visited a dental clinic in South Korea. For the periodontal clinical parameters, the O'Leary index, plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and periodontal-disease-related bacteria in subgingival plaques were examined (at baseline and after 5 days of treatment).

The O’Leary index decreased by 40.43%, the PI decreased by 51.29% and GI decreased by 44%, In terms of bacterial outcomes, the licorice gargle produced antibacterial effects on both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens involved in periodontal disease.

Active treatment was 15 mL of the licorice solution applied once a day as both a gargle and mouthwash for 30 seconds for 5 days. This was prepared as follows: dried Glycyrrhiza uralensis root was extracted (70 % ethanol), filtered, concentrated and freeze-dried into a powder. This concentrated extract was then dissolved in distilled water to make a 0.5 % w/v mouthwash (the test solution). No eating, drinking, or other oral hygiene procedures were allowed for 30 minutes after use to maximise mucosal contact and antimicrobial exposure.

Given the phytochemical similarities, it is highly likely that European licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) will have the same benefit. I recommend a 1 in 10 dilution of a high glycyrrhizin licorice 1:1 extract. This should be considerably stronger than the test mouthwash/gargle used in the trial.
