NEW BLOG \ A New Way of Understanding Your Metabolism

When most people hear the word metabolism, they think of weight, calories, or energy. But your metabolism is actually your body’s rhythm, the way every cell builds, repairs, and communicates.

This rhythm moves between two natural states: one for growth and action, and another for rest and renewal. When they’re in balance, you feel strong, calm, and clear. When they’re out of sync, you might notice fatigue, cravings, anxiety, or low mood, even if you’re eating well or exercising regularly. Learning how to restore this natural rhythm is the foundation of both physical and emotional health.

The Growth State — mTOR

You can think of mTOR as your body’s “on” switch, the mode that helps you grow, build, and get things done. It turns on when …….. click link in bio to read more

New Blog // link in bio Acupuncture for Hayfever Relief on the Northern Beaches
Spring on the Northern Beaches is stunning. The wattle is in bloom, jacarandas are colouring the streets, and the days are finally warming up. But for many of us locals, this beautiful season also comes with a downside: sneezing, itchy eyes, runny noses, and sinus pressure. Hayfever and allergies can make it hard to enjoy the outdoors, even when the beach is just down the road.

If you find yourself stocking up on antihistamines every spring, you’re not alone. But did you know acupuncture and traditional Chinese herbal medicine can provide a natural and effective way to manage hayfever? At Northern Beaches Integrative Practitioners, we work with patients looking for long-term, drug-free relief.

Why Choose Acupuncture for Hayfever?
Acupuncture has been used for centuries to support the body’s natural defences and reduce sensitivity to seasonal triggers like pollen, dust, and coastal blooms. Instead of masking symptoms, acupuncture aims to rebalance your body’s immune response so you’re not reacting as strongly in the first place.

During a session, specific acupuncture points are chosen to help with:

Blocked or runny nose
Sinus pressure and headaches
Itchy, watery eyes
Low energy from ongoing hayfever
Many patients report feeling clearer and more energised after treatment, and with regular sessions, acupuncture may also reduce the severity of future hayfever seasons.

New Blog Link in Bio Nourishing Radiant Skin using Chinese Herbs and Facial Acupuncture

In TCM, healthy skin and a glowing complexion aren’t just about what you put on your face—they reflect what’s happening inside the body.

When the Qi and Blood are well nourished, it shows on your face. But when Qi or Blood are depleted, signs of imbalance can appear not only in the skin, but also in energy levels, mood, and overall wellbeing.

This is where Facial Acupuncture combined with the support of classic herbal medicine formulas can be so effective.
