Charlene Harvey - Rx Nutrition

I spent the weekend with an amazing community of integrative doctors, nutritionists & naturopaths learning all about the latest research to support those experiencing long CV and the many symptoms that can hang around after infection. Including:

➡️Fatigue & Chronic Fatigue
➡️Brain Fog
➡️Persistent Gut Issues
➡️Autoimmunity
➡️Poor Immune Function
➡️Mobility Issues
➡️Shortness of Breath and Cardiovascular Issues (POTS)
➡️Allergic type Reactions (MCAS)

My key takeaways?

📍More help is needed for these patients! (recognition / funding etc..)
📍GP's are under the pump with the amount of patients experiencing these symptoms.
📍There is a major role for clinical nutritionists to play in balancing the way your cells are functioning to produce energy.
📍Emerging research shows some AMAZING results by addressing the underlying causes of dysfunction using a combination of modern, nutritional & functional medicine.

It really was amazing to see doctors taking nutritional medicine seriously and recommending this to their patients!

There has been a hot cross bun robbery (actually the evidence points more to a slobbery) Either way we are going to have to make more buns! Lucky we have lots of pantry staples & a bunch of time to make more...

The yearly Hot Cross Bun cook off between my daughter and I has my house smelling like cinnamon & fresh bread 🙌 I made Gluten Free Vegan buns & Tiarne made a standard Gluten free recipe.
They are both really different!
The gluten free vegan ones are dense & great with nuttelex and marmalade.

Meal Prep fridge!
I do consults from home. This is great because I can actually show people the kinds of foods that are available (or should be avoided) for them to eat - ESPECIALLY if restrictions are required. Of course we are all human and some things are not ideal, but it’s a good (mostly) healthy fridge 😝 First Train Fitness

Take your Zantac back to where you bought it! This is a worldwide recall as the “contaminant” has been linked to cancer.
What irritates me about this, is that we put so much faith into our drs recommendations for medicines & the truth is - We don’t know it all yet! As science evolves, we discover new risks with meds that we once thought were safe. (Just think thalidomide)
We need to start thinking logically for ourselves.
Figuring out WHY you’re unwell makes way more sense than taking a chemical cocktail “quick fix”

If you’d like to get to the bottom of WHY you need antacid meds - give me a buzz and I’ll book you in for an appointment.

Stomach acid meds 😑
Getting to the root cause of the issue instead of a bandaid solution is always the best option.

What would your weekly food intake look like? 🤔

Do you experience bloating or pain after eating?
Do you have skin issues including rashes, hives or eczema?
Do you suffer from asthma?
Would you like to explore possible triggers?

Winter is a great time to be exploring food intolerances as it tends to be a less social time for most.
