With Clinic finally finished for 2022 I have finally taken time to reflect on what a big year it has been.

I have been pushed out of my comfort zone many times (public speaking is still a challenge 😉) and learnt so much.

I have been privileged to work with so many gorgeous clients, and the team at .wellness.medicine have made this past year special.

I can’t wait to see what next year will hold. In the mean time I will be enjoying the break with my family.

Merry Christmas and see you in 2023 🎄

It’s almost the end of Men’s Health Week. There is so much information out there, so when you feel the overwhelm always go back to the basics. Healthy food, balanced movement, less stress and less toxins.

So this is happening on Wednesday 8th (this coming Wednesday!!) 7:30pm (WST)

I get to talk about all things sleep, and tips to getting a good rest!
I have loved getting into this subject and putting my knowledge into practice.
Sleep is one thing we really shouldn’t do without!

Unfortunately the ‘ole saying “sleep when I’m dead” will only get you there quicker.

If you want to learn more about how we sleep and what a lack of it does to our body (hint: no sleep is not good for our hormone balance!)
Contact the clinic and we can pop you on the list for the Zoom - reception@remede.com.au or (08)9286 1166

Endometriosis Awareness Month is coming to an end, but this inflammatory condition will continue to affect one in 9 women worldwide and remains a significant cause of infertility. When it takes up to 6.5 years to get a diagnosis, it's no wonder women suffer quietly, losing days of work and school to cope with the pain.

Common signs of Endometriosis include
• Pain with your period
• Pain during &/or after in*******se
• Pain passing urine
• Lower back pain and leg pain
• Heavy &/or irregular bleeding
• Pain on ovulation
• Fatigue
• Nausea
• Constipation &/or diarrhea, and 'Endobelly' bloating

The gold standard of diagnosis is a laparoscopy, where the lesions are identified and often removed as treatment. An ultrasound can also identify endometriosis lesions; however, lesions can be missed, resulting in ongoing pain.

The 'endometrial like' tissue found outside the uterus is inflammatory and influenced by cycling estrogen. Endometriosis can have a genetic component, affecting girls when they commence their cycle; it can also come from retrograde menstruation.

So what to do if you think you have Endometriosis?

Firstly look at your environment. Pesticides and dioxins are known to increase the risk of developing the condition. Address gut health by assessing and removing foods you are sensitive to, such as gluten and dairy. It may not be forever, but taking out triggers is vital. The gut is one of the main avenues of detoxification for our hormones, so it is essential to ensure it is working well. Then look at your hormones to investigate their balance.

Also, find a practitioner willing to listen and explore further. Extreme pain with or without your cycle is not 'normal'.

It seems like an age ago that Naturopathy was removed from Health Fund Rebates.
It's about time it was reinstated!

This global report from Southern Cross University validates the effectiveness and the safety of Naturopathic care.

The report encompasses research conducted over 5 years, "and highlights the benefits of naturopathic care. Ranging from chronic disease management to health promotion, to increasing health literacy and integrating complementary therapies into multidisciplinary settings".

An exciting report!

I’m so lucky to be surrounded by incredible women. Women who are successful and willing to share their experience. We all benefit when we support each other.

Something to consider if you are taking The Pill.

Studies have shown that the pill causes "significant and clinically important" bone loss in teenagers. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
It is in our teenage years when we are meant to be laying down the foundation for strong healthy bones to reach our peak bone density around the age of 25. A healthy peak bone mass is very important for reducing the risk of fractures and osteoporosis later in life. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The oral contraceptive pill is one of the most commonly prescribed medications for birth control. It works by disrupting womens' hormone cycle and preventing ovulation, and therefore, a period.

If you have been prescribed The Pill for other reasons such as acne or painful periods, taking it won't fix the root cause, and when you decide to no longer take The Pill, you may have the same issues you had before you started.

If you are on The Pill, make sure you are still getting all the nutrients you need and not ending up more depleted than when you started!

As the year’s busyness begins, it’s essential to make time for yourself. Filling your own cup first ensures you can help others do the same.

Often this time of year we focus on having a healthy body, but don’t forget the effects that eating well can have on the brain and your mood!

https://theconversation.com/health-check-seven-nutrients-important-for-mental-health-and-where-to-find-them-37170

A growing body of research points to the detrimental effect of unhealthy diets and the protective value of healthy diets – along with select nutritional supplements as required – for maintaining and promoting mental health.

This is a great list to begin the new year with. No need to do everything at once, just pick one and go from there.

Which of these healthy habits have you done today to support yourself?

Happy New Year!
I hope you woke up feeling refreshed, we might have celebrated on Sydney time and went to sleep by 9:30pm!
Just a reminder to keep hydrated in this hot weather, especially if you’re enjoying a celebratory champagne or two!

It’s been a long time since I have been active on this page, but I just wanted you to know I haven’t disappeared!
Our move to Perth took me down a path of studying at University and keeping busy with my family.
However 2022 is going to be a year of change, and I’m very excited to say I’m back in clinic in January working with the amazing team of practitioners at Remede Wellness Medicine in Mosman Park.
I’m looking forward to sharing my knowledge and supporting clients in their health journey.
So Merry Xmas - and an exciting New Year!
