🌿 Gratitude 🌿

🤍 Something we can all do to support our health and wellbeing, is to find something to be grateful for.

🤍 Studies have shown that, finding small things in our day to day lives to be grateful for, can improve our mental health.

🤍 I love to colour in as a way to wind down, and combining that with my daily gratitude with this cute gratitude colouring book had been fun!

🤍 Some of the little things I've been grateful for this week included:

🌿 My 5 minutes in the morning sunlight with a green tea.

🌿 Trees, and their intricate beauty.

🌿 My tribe, we all need a tribe no matter how big or small.

🤍 Sometimes it's not easy to be grateful, one of my favourite thoughts is 🌻 "find peace in your chaos" 🌻, it doesn't have to be some big amazing thing, just something to shift our focus and mind set.

🌻 What are you grateful for today? 🌻

🌿 💤 5 Ways to Optimise your Sleep 💤 🌿

🌿 There are so many ways to optimise sleep, but here's a few of my favourites 🌿

🌞 Get enough natural sunlight during the day 🌞 Our bodies need light, and it needs Vitamin D!
🌞 Some tips here: Let natural sunlight be the first light your eyes see in the morning (not our phone screens), watch the sunrise, and the sunset, download the Dminder app to see the optimal times for you personally to be out in the sun, if you're wearing sunscreen opt for a natural low tox broad spectrum.

🌸 Don't wait until night time to take your magnesium 🌸 Magnesium is used in hundreds of biochemical processes in our body, take magnesium in the morning to support these processes, don't worry you can still take magnesium at night if needed.
🌸There are lots of types of magnesium, get in touch to find the right type and supplement for you.

💡Block blue light once the sun sets 💡Blue light disrupts our circadian rhythm, particularly our melatonin & serotonin pathways, impacting our sleep.
💡 Some tips here: Use red, dim lighting after the sun goes down, avoid screens 2-3 hours before bed, if using screens most devices have a blue light blocking mode, use blue light blocking glasses after the sun sets.

🥗 Finish eating 2-3 hours before bed 🥗 This aids digestion so we are not digesting food laying down, while we are digesting food out muscles need to be working instead of resting, it can trigger night heartburn, and disrupt our insulin sensitivity- all of this contributing to disrupting our circadian rhythm.

💤 Have a sleep routine, and stick to it 💤 Having a sleep routine supports our circadian rhythm, Optimising our sleep.
💤 Some tips here: Follow the above tips, go to sleep and wake up at the same time each day, ensure your bedroom is as dark as possible (make use of block out blinds and sleep masks), use ear plugs if noise is an issue, warm or cold showers before bed (benefits of both), diffuse calming essential oils half an hour before sleeping.

🌿💤 If you'd like a tailored approach to optimising your sleep, DM to book in a consult. 💤🌿

🌿 Always Learning 🌿 Optimising Testosterone & Hormones - Fat Loss, Muscle Gain - Sleep, Mood & Cognition 🌿

🌻As Naturopaths, we are always learning, always updating ourselves with the latest research in the literature, and always treating the body as a whole. While these topics may seem like 3 completely different topics, they all actually relate to each other because our body systems work together, not separately.🌻

🌿 Sleep... Sleep is one of the most important things we can optimise to improve health. Sleep is important for cellular health, hormones, metabolic health, cognition, and mood (amongst many other things).

🌻 Poor sleep can result in inflammation, hormonal imbalance, poor cognitive function & decline, poor immunity, mental health issues, and cellular aging & dysfunction (again, amongst many other health concerns).

🌿 Some simple ways to optimise sleep include managing stress, implementing sleep hygiene, having a nutrient dense diet, and exercise.

🌻 Over the coming weeks I'll be posting more specific tips & info on improving sleep, hormones & metabolism!

🌿💦 Let's talk water! 💦🌿

🌿 We all know that drinking water, and staying hydrated, is essential, but did you know that the quality of the water we drink matters?

💦 Our tap water, unfortunately, can be contaminated with bacteria, heavy metals, chlorine, fluoride, pesticides and other compounds.

🌿 Cue poor immunity, skin concerns, gastrointestinal upset, neurological disorders, poor detoxification, and increased risk of chronic disease!

💦 Filtering our water reduces the stress on our own body, particularly our liver & kidneys, and gives us all the benefits of purified water getting into our cells.

🌿 Filtered water tastes better, and reduces the amount of toxins we are exposed to, which is great for our over all health.

💦🌿 If you would like more info on the right filtered water option for your family please comment below or DM. 🌿💦

🌿🌸 Oestrogen & ADHD symptomology in Women 🌸🌿

🌸 ADHD is more commonly diagnosed in males, and under or misdiagnosed in females. A variance in symptom presentation can attribute to these diagnoses.

🌿 A key reason for this variance is due to hormonal drivers affecting symptomology in women with ADHD.

🌸 Oestrogen fluctuates through a woman’s menstrual cycle, and various life stage stages such as pregnancy, post-partum, and menopause.

🌿 Oestrogen modulates our neurotransmitters, including dopamine and serotonin, these fluctuations can present as constant mood changes, sleep inconsistency and changes in attention span or executive functioning.

🌸 Optimising hormone balance can be key for women with ADHD and their personal symptomology.

🌿 Naturopathy can utilise specific nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle advice to support hormone balance and the drivers of ADHD symptoms.

🌸 For 1:1 personalised care please DM or use our booking link to make an appointment with our Naturopath. Tahniah is a neuro-affirming practitioner focusing on strength based support.

🌿🌸NeuroAffirming Practitioner🌸🌿

🌿 Being a neuroaffirming practitioner means that I am not here to "fix" neurodivergance, I am here to provide a person centered, strength based approach to supporting your neurotype, however that may look for you as an individual.

🌿 We can't change our brain type, but we can address and support things like gut health, neuroinflammation, nutritional status, and toxin exposure to help us live our best life.

🌿 One of the founding principles of Naturopathy is 'Tolle totum' or 'treat the whole person'. Working together with this mindset allows support to build up our strengths, and support with navigating some of the daily struggles we can face.

🌸If you would like neuroaffirming support, or even just have some questions please feel free to contact me directly.🌸

🌿🌸Herb of the Month: Rehmannia glutinosa!🌸🌿

🌿 Rehmannia is one of my favourite herbs, and I've been using it in quite a few custom herbal blends with my clients lately.

🌿Traditionally, Rehmannia is a TCM herb used to 'expel blood impediments, a herb of restoration, and fever reducing'.

In today's Naturopathic medicine we also use rehmannia for its:

🌿 Anti-inflammatory, immune modulating, adrenal supporting, and blood sugar regulating properties; Making it a perfect addition to custom herbal blends for conditions such as:

🌸Menopause

🌸Endometriosis

🌸Menstrual bleeding issues

🌸Arthritic conditions

🌸Allergies

🌸Metabolic dysfunction & regulating blood sugars

🌸Adrenal/stress support

🌸Sleep support

🌸Fevers
