insulin resistance

You hear the phrase insulin resistance bandied about a lot these days but what does it mean?

Your pancreas can get TIRED. Especially if its always at work clearing away sugar constantly. So if you’re a grazer. STOP

Sugar floating around unchecked, can lead to you presenting like a pre-type 2 diabetic. It can also just make you feel RUBBISH, bloated, irritable,, moody.
You get my drift.

DO THESE THINGS

++Stop eating discretionary sugar. You’re not a baby. You don’t need it.

++Eat 2-3 Meals per day plenty protien (veggie protien is the best) and vegetables. Aim for 100g per day NO SNACKING

++go for a 20 minute gentle walk after your meals

++Cook rice- ADD 1x teaspoon of coconut oil per cup of rice. Put it in the fridge AND REHEAT IT

++Pasta and potato, refrigerate and then reheat- BOTH of these methods change the starch from simple to complex and slows the sugar spike by up to 40%
++Eat your meals in this order:
first,vegetables
second, protien
third, carbs

Build muscle, this strengthens bones and makes the bones an endocrine system which will help with insulin resistance.

PREPARING FOR BIRTH
No one can underestimate the power of bringing forth life.
seriously the absolute bad-assery of the whole act is NEXT LEVEL

WOMEN ARE AMAZING

Come in from 35 weeks so that we can work towards an efficient and effortless labour. My favourite thing is to give really pragmatic advice when in treatment like:
+how to distract yourself during each contraction;
+how to massage so that the cervix will soften and open;
+what position might be best for you when it comes time to actually birth baby.

I also use meditations and hypnotic language to help you feel more calm and relaxed; do you think that sometimes we get stuck on the labour part and forget that this is just the beginning?

Pre-Birth Treatments, lets prepare your body for birth.

Did you have pre birth acupuncture?
Comment below and tell us about your experience xx

DID YOU KNOW STRESS CAN SHORTEN YOUR LUTEAL PHASE.
Stress has been linked to progesterone production decrease, which can means SHORTER luteal phase.

If that's the case, what can help?

Meditation, mindfulness, a calm mind.

Honestly its the free stuff the techniques that ACTUALLY change the way your brain functions that is a bit like magic.
And its free!

And easily accessible.

AND as a side note:
Did you know that NO is a complete sentence? You don't HAVE to say yes to every social engagement. You owe nothing, you have to prove nothing.

Stay home if you are stressed, over scheduled and tired.
Give it a moment. You deserve it.

Christmas Day is next week- WOT THE??
our first full year since all those lock downs and its been REAL.

Congratulations on making it this far, I"m so impressed by yoiur tenacity.

Keep it up!

A word on fertility and staying the course while this culture of excess spins around you.

A few drinks and yummy things will not completely negate all the hard work you have done. LIVE your life. Say YES (if thats what you want to do)

NO GUILT.

ALSO just as an aside, if its a quiet moment you want, NO is a complete sentence. You owe nothing and have to prove yourself to no- one.
JUST DO YOU BOO ###

Merry Christmas to you all out there.
Im closing for a bit and then back on board at Qi Medicine Moonee Ponds and Nourishlife Newport from the 16th Jan and onwards book in or call

"Australia's Female Prime Minister Rips Misogynist a New One in Epic Speech on Sexism" - Jezebel

Today marks 10 years on from this powerful political moment, conjuring memories of Julia Gillard in her royal blue blazer delivering her now iconic Misogyny Speech, the speech that stopped (half) the nation.

During the speech, the 27th Prime Minister of Australia- and first and only woman to hold this position, boldly and articulately called out the treatment of women in parliament and the media, and the effect of this 15 minute speech is still felt today.
WWJD (What Would Julia Do) became a symbol of no longer being complacent in the workplace, we no longer needed to laugh at sexist jokes from male colleagues, “learn to take a joke” to smile when told to, “You should smile more” and the dreaded tea run- women are still twice as likely to flick the kettle on and make tea for the team- in 2022!

Julia’s politics were not perfect, and on this same day she passed legislation that cut welfare payments to single mothers.

But what we witnessed was one of the most memorable moments in Australian political history, still celebrated to this day.
Today this speech will be all over social media- and rightly so, inspiring a whole new generation of people to get into politics and make a stand against the patriarchal parliament that governs this country.

Hello my lovelies

There has been a GENUINE baby boom coming out of the clinic in Newport (and Moonee Ponds) must be something in the water (Chinese Herbs) :-)

Once you are pregnant the weekly sessions change to monthly once the first trimester is reached. EXCITING!!

This means I'll have more space to take on new people.

book in with me:
+If you are curious minded

+Willing to help gather data, think BBT charting, bloods, s***m (fertility is all about data collection)

+And committed to put in the work to get you there (I'm not a lolly shop, sometimes the herbs take a BIT of getting used to, but they are TOTALLY WORTH IT)

We can work together

let me know.

I'm feeling so optimistic, I hope you are too

Tia
