Hi all,
I wanted to make you all aware of our new sister business TSV Social .
We offer wheelchair accessible transport, inclusive fitness, social supports & community events!
We are looking forward to including some nutritional medicine sessions into our program in the near future!
Please jump on over and give our new page a like!

I have finished my intensive training here in Melbourne and I'm very excited to be coming back home to Townsville & preparing to add on classes to support those suffering from musculoskeletal issues. (Arthritis, Osteo, back pain, fibromyalgia, etc.)

Whoa life has been REALLY busy for me lately!
😅
The COVID-19 Pandemic had me very busy in both my jobs (I have a 2nd job in mental health as well as my business on the side!)
Plus I was completing additional studies required for my Mental Health job!
I submitted my final assessment and logbook last week for my Mental Health qualification and I was definitely recognising signs of burn-out, so my family and I took some time out and went camping at Bivouac. (I think that's how you spell it?!)
North Queensland really is an amazing place to live.
😍
But I am back, I am recharged & I do have a couple spaces for consults available for next week, so please get in contact if you'd like to book in.
I don't post a lot to social media anymore these days, buy yes I am still here doing what I love to do; helping people get as healthy as they possibly can!
🙌

*Intergenerational Trauma*
______________________
If people don’t have the opportunity to heal from trauma, they may unknowingly pass it on to others through their behaviour.
Their children may experience difficulties with attachment, disconnection from their extended families and culture and high levels of stress from family and community members who are dealing with the impacts of trauma.
This can create developmental issues for children, who are particularly susceptible to distress at a young age.
This creates a cycle of trauma, where the impact is passed from one generation to the next.
This is a great video explaining intergenerational trauma.

How has everyone been keeping active throughout this Pandemic?
🚴🏃
I get in a lot of walking with my Mental Health job (some of you have seen me out and about with clients lately & have waved hello 😁 it's so good seeing the walking tracks around town so busy! ... with the appropriate social distancing in place of course 🤪)
At home I mix my workouts up as I get bored doing the same thing.
Some days I go for a jog, (This involves my Daughter and Husband riding alongside me, with my Son in the bike trailer), other days I do a program on my cross-trainer, other days I use my home gym and do weights.
🏋️
But do you know what I've REALLY been into lately?
Lesmills Step & Attack! Absolutely LOVING IT! (Which is funny because it's 2 classes of lesmills that I'm actually not trained in 😂)
I highly recommend you download the lesmills application if you are missing your group fitness classes 🙌

I jumped on fb this morning and scrolled past allllll the many posts from friends and family in regards to COVID-19.
Some of you are stuck overseas unable to get back home to loved ones, a few of you are already in isolation, many many are struggling to buy the essentials for your households due to people panic buying and some have already had to stop work due to having the children home from school.
I'm in Townsville, where we already have confirmed cases and my Son is classed as immunocompromised, so I'll admit, the unknown is a little scary.
But all we can really do is stay calm and take preventative measures such as good hygiene, avoid unnecessary physical contact with others and BOOST OUR IMMUNE SYSTEMS!
Personally, boosting my family's immune system is my #1 priority and I do think that everyone else should focus on doing the same.
Eat the rainbow to ensure your body gets a range of micro-nutrients that it needs to function properly.
Eat foods rich in vitamin C and bioflavonoids, which stimulate the production of white blood cells.
Eat foods rich in Vitamin A, Zinc, B vitamins, Vitamin D and probiotics for immune support.
Stay well hydrated. (with water hehe :p)
Avoid refined sugar. This is probably the hardest, yet most important! Sugar decreases the number of white blood cells that your body produces and depresses the immune system.
Understandably, it may be hard perfecting the perfect diet with shelves all being empty, so I do recommend supplementation. (Practitioner-grade is best, but anything is better than nothing)
I do need to take precautions to protect my family, so if you are unwell and need a consultation/ practitioner- grade nutrients, I will be doing them online and posting the product out to you.
Please look after yourselves and those around you.
Stay well,

Kristy.

✋STOP throwing away those watermelon rinds!✋
Pickle them! 🤤
Watermelon, including the rind is AMAZING for depression & anxiety as it contains B6 & citrulline amongst other important nutrients.

Why do I always start with a persons digestion when it comes to mental health?
🤷‍♀️
Because the gut is actually the major source of neurotransmitter production in the body!
So it's no surprise that people with digestive problems are often anxious or depressed.
The healthy bacteria (probiotics), help to lower the stress response by regulating the relaxation neurotransmitter (GABA) via the vagus nerve.
Mental health has become one of my main areas of interest and a lot of you already know that I have a 2nd job in mental health support and that I am currently furthering my studies in the area.
What you might not know is that I am also putting together a very exciting course on nutrition for mental health!
This will be an online course that you can do in your own time at your own pace and will cover a range of areas such as the brain-gut connection, the role of inflammation and digestion on mental health, individualised nutrition, supplementation, assessments and tools to use and so much more!
If you are interested or know anyone else who may benefit from doing this in-depth course run by myself, then please comment or tag them below and I will keep you all updated on when I will be launching this program. (The first 30 people will get 50% off, so stay tuned.)

Beautiful view whilst I work on my notes for my next presentation! ("Mental Health starts in the gut")
Have a great day everyone!
