A blend of 3 components for a client to reduce anxiety and get long awaited sleep, whilst helping manage some pain.

Great news when she reported that sleep was better than it had been in a long while!

After checking for any interactions with pharmaceutical medications, L-Glycine, GABA and L-Theanine got the tick of approval!

The magic of a compounded formulation specific to your needs.

Did you know a compounded formulation may be part of your naturopathic protocol?

Hi and Happy New Year everyone!

Just a little drop in to introduce myself.

My name is Chris Hibbert (naturopath - Circa Naturopathy). I am very excited to announce that from Thursday, 23rd January, 2025, practice will commence one day per week @ BodyTeq Health and Movement in Euroa.

What does a naturopath do? As well as helping maintain your general wellbeing, naturopathy may also be beneficial in supporting you with a broad range of chronic/unresolved health conditions in a holistic way, with a protocol built around your individual needs. A naturopath takes time to listen to your concerns and take your comprehensive health history in order to find and address the root cause of your health issues. That’s why an initial consultation will run for around 75 minutes.

Amongst other recommendations, your protocol might include the use of:
🍃Food as medicine/dietary/lifestyle modifications
🍃Herbal medicines (individualised herbal extract formulas or tablet/capsule formulations)
🍃Nutraceutical prescriptions

Whilst naturopathy is natural, gentle and non-invasive, your safety is top priority. Any pharmaceutical medication and treatment provided by your team of health professionals is always taken into account. This ensures your protocol is ✅appropriate ✅therapeutic and ✅correctly dosed, avoiding negative drug interactions and positively dovetailing with any other treatment you are receiving.

If you would like to know more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch - I’m always up for a chat!

SO WHERE TO FROM HERE?
That indeed is the million dollar question.
You may have been feeling NQR for what seems like ages, yet according to the pathology testing conducted on countless occasions, frustratingly, you have been told that everything is fine. So what's missing?
It may be test results have been "glossed over" or misinterpreted. Perhaps the most appropriate "testing question" has not been asked...
The quest to explore and uncover missing pieces of the puzzle forms the basis of a naturopathic consultation. This is through comprehensive case taking - chapter and verse on you, and time well invested.
We discover appropriate testing "questions" - this may be through general pathology, functional pathology, or, a combination of both.
This helps provide clues to uncovering those missing puzzle pieces. From here, the direction in dealing with what is driving how you feel becomes clearer.
Feel it's time to explore and dig a little deeper? Simply get in touch to find out more...

Cardiometabolic issues such as obesity, hypertension, Type 2 Diabetes, pre-diabetes, high LDL cholesterol and triglycerides are just a few inflammatory drivers which not only lead to increased risk of heart attack or stroke, but also cognitive dysfunction. In fact, possible cause for cognitive dysfunction following heart surgery itself, includes dangerously low levels of glucose and oxygen in the brain.

Recent research is indicating nutrition may be beneficial in slowing down or perhaps even preventing neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimers Disease. Pomegranate, for example, may used as food, juice, herbal extract, or tablet, reaping the benefit of its:
💚antioxidant
💚anti-inflammatory
💚antihyperlipidaemic
💚hypotensive properties - just for a start. Nutrient wise, Pomegranate is a source of:
💪omega 3 and 6 fatty acids
💪iron,
💪potassium
💪magnesium.
Quite a power-pack at our fingertips - and more than just pretty on a plate!

Where are your inflammatory markers sitting? Naturally, any supplementation and dietary changes should take into account your personal situation (we are all individuals) - check with your health practitioner.

Late winter in Melbourne - Stage 4 Lockdown....

Looking at the face masks on the clothesline, it triggers for me feelings of anxiety, being overwhelmed and stress. However, as twee as it might seem, I am going to shift focus from masks to the uplifting image of sunlight filtering through - warmth, relaxation and hope.

We all have ways of dealing with stress and anxiety. Some may feel too fatigued to start the day at their usual time - getting up progressively later. Others might choose extra caffeine or alcohol. Then again others may choose a Netflix binge and the snacks to go with it. Add working from home and supervising distance education for the kids - feeling stressed and overwhelmed has no off switch.

No big secret that we can’t control everything, but.... a few things to think about which might help:
🌈Hydration - can be overlooked but may be contributing to things such as headaches, feeling fatigued, brain fog, altered bowel movements, bloating, skin breakouts.
🌈Diet including a broad range of fresh fruit and veg, protein. Helps support sustained energy, immune and nervous system function - these systems really cop a pounding due to ongoing stress.
🌈Blow away the cobwebs - going for a walk, run, bike ride, shooting some hoops - whatever grabs your fancy - a great way to raise endorphins, as well as helping boost Vitamin D, maintaining muscle, weight management, blood sugar management and a bit of love for our cardiovascular system. 💚
🌈Many are tuned into news reports and press conferences, more than we normally would have been. Don’t forget to give yourself a break from this - crank up your fave music or rewatch that comedy - crazy cat clips .... whatever makes you laugh.
🌈build yourself a lockdown routine and stick to it. Get up, shower, make the bed, breakie....routine may help provide a sense of control.

Sometimes, we just need a hand to get started - to help work through poor sleep, anxiety and stress.

As a naturopath, I can work with you to help build resilience to stress, building a protocol around what will work for and benefit you.
I would love to hear from you. 💚
