While the manifestation of anxiety can be complex and driven by many different factors, sometimes the simplest of self care steps can make a big impact.

It is of course important to work with a qualified practitioner on biochemical drivers specific to you, but here are a few things everyone can begin to consider and address at home.

Most people know there’s a connection with what we eat and its effects on our body. Not everyone has studies nutrition or is an expert but most people know of “good’ or “bad” foods and are quite aware that certain foods may not be great for them. If you have read my other blogs, seen…

Does your child experience constipation?

While we always like to rule out any underlying causes through our consultation process, we have found incorporating these tips super beneficial.

It’s a combination of specific probiotics and prebiotics, alongside gentle, non-habit forming laxatives, all the while addressing any underlying causes.

One of the most infuriating things clients often say they experience is being told their blood tests are all “normal”. This is particularly the case in clients who are suffering from a range of symptoms affecting quality of life and are looking for some answers. When it comes to analysing blood results it can pay to look at them from a different perspective. Low-normal or high-normal results can begin to indicate undesirable shifts from health long before they present as a disease state or known pathology. The change from ‘normal’ to ‘abnormal’ may be gradual and can take many years. Diabetes is a good example of this – glucose levels gradually increase until it is finally diagnosed. We want to be picking up on these subtle changes in your results long before they become a disease state and work with you to prevent the disease in the first place.

To define a reference range, the first step is to define a “healthy” population to compare to. Defining what is “healthy” is hard (and we would argue that definition varies depending on the lens you are looking through). What it’s based on is the results from a group of people who don’t have the disease they’re trying to identify. A variation of around 2 standard deviations is then allowed, essentially representing the values found in 95% of individuals in the chosen non-diseased or “reference” group.

Let’s make something clear - an absence of a particular disease does not necessarily make someone healthy! Thus, not everyone who makes up this non-diseased reference group will be in an optimal state of health. This must be taken in to context when looking at pathology results and determining where our ideal levels sits. When it comes to certain nutritional markers “normal” rarely equates with what we perceive to be optimal, and in the face of specific disease states, potentially higher levels are required.

So if you’re not feeling well, yet your blood tests are all normal, perhaps it’s time to take another look from a new perspective?

If you're anything like us you might be wondering when this season of crazy illness will end!
We have been supporting so many individuals and families with frequent or recurrent illness this winter and while it feels like things are shifting, there's still a lot of viruses and pathogens we're exposed to just being out in society at the moment.

While it's normal to get sick occasionally, especially so in little ones, if it's feeling excessive, or you just can't seem to catch a break, it might be a sign your immunity could do with some help.

Here’s our top tips for supporting immunity in kids 👇🏼

It is hard to watch your child work through an illness. Supporting immunity in kids can help break the cycle of recurrent infections.

If you're looking for a new way to get some of your supplements in, or make dosing to the kids quicker each morning, give our medicine jelly a go.

A firm favourite of many of our clients (big and little alike) setting your powders into a jelly, and consuming that way makes taking you daily doe a lot more fun!

This works well with nice tasting formulas (like many of our Zinc and Vitamin C powder combos, and magnesium powder formulations) or with neutral tasting powders set into a fruity herbal tea or fruit juice.

Let us know what you think!

"Medicine Jelly" we call it in my house. Or you could call it the kid-friendly, time saving way to give them a dose of their vitamins.
