Did you know that 50% of Australian women aren't meeting their recommended dietary intake?

Suboptimal or iron deficiency can lead to fatigue, brain fog, low mood, reduced immunity, thinning hair or hair loss, shortness of breath, dizziness, palpitations and restless leg syndrome.

If you aren't sure how to meet your daily iron requirements, I am more than happy to guide you. It's not as simple as popping a supplement. Iron forms and frequency is very nuanced and, if you have too much iron, it can be detrimental to your body. Always test and don't guess.

Do fatty meals not agree with you?
Do you get a pain under your right ribs after eating a fatty meal?
Do you have an oestrogen-dominant condition such as fibroids, endometriosis?
Do you use fragrances, plastics or other chemicals?

Even if you don't, your liver and gallbladder can always do with some love so it can detox the toxins in the air we breathe, the water we drink and the toxins we produce just by living.

As you know, I am in Student Clinic for my final year of Naturopathy (Bachelor of Health Sciences (Naturopathy).

Many people aren't sure what a naturopath is.
A naturopath looks at a person holistically... all the interconnections between all the different body systems and how diet, sleep, stress, exercise/movement and other lifestyle factors impact on health.

Together, you and I devise a plan to get your health back on track so you feel the best you possibly can and help support your body so you age well.
This can include herbs, nutrients, diet and lifestyle adjustments.

Interested? The Practice, run through Torrens University, are now taking telehealth and face-to-face appointments to see me. All you need to do is ring or email (details below) and ask to see Kylie Badger (Monday or Saturday).
Appointment cost: $20 or $10 for students/concession (this cost does not include herbal mix or supplements).
Telephone: 1300 738 256
Email: thepracticesydney@torrens.edu.au

I look forward to working with you.

Plastics are everywhere… it’s even in the air we breathe and in the water we drink! 😱

Some research suggests that we ingest a credit card worth of plastic every week 🪪

It’s been found in brains and in the plaque in arteries.

16,000 chemicals have been identified in plastic, whilst only 6,000 have been studied… 70-90% of these studied chemicals were deemed harmful.

So what can you do to reduce your exposure?
Reduce your use by:
- wearing natural fabrics, use glass and stainless steel.
- avoid synthetic fabrics (nylon, polyester, vegan leather, vinyl, etc), takeaway containers, disposable coffee cups (lined with plastic), plastic knives/forks/spoons/straws.

Daily steps and Type 2 Diabetes risk

In a recent study, it was found that 7,800 steps per day reduced the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes in those genetically susceptible and 5,800 steps in those with a low genetic risk.

For each additional 1,000 steps there was a 17% further reduced in the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes.

Combining wearable-derived daily step counts with polygenic risk scores improves the prediction of incident type 2 diabetes and supports more personalized prevention strategies.

I can't believe how fast this year has gone!
We're in the midst of Black Friday sales and it's almost December.

So, to help you be the healthiest person you can be and start planning your pre- and post-Christmas health appointments, here are my office closure times.

Now is the perfect time to start that detox or make a plan so you don't fall off the wagon during those Christmas parties or, for that fact, how to get back on after you have fallen off. Maybe it's just to help you make a fresh start. Whatever the reason, I'm happy to support you on your health journey.
