Carving time out for yourself regularly is SO important.

Taking a beat to quieten the multi-tasking mayhem many of us find ourselves is in fact, not indulgent, rather it's critical to restore balance & improve performance.

Trying to connect with that inner peace and calm is actually critical for mental health, and for accessing your own intuition. Sometimes it's about working smarter, not harder.

Do you have something sacred that you do for yourself each week?
My go-to's are the below:
✨a bushwalk
✨a breath exercise
✨a sauna
✨a short yoga Nidra meditation
✨a yoga class or home practice
✨a swim in ocean or local river
✨time with a friend

What have I forgotten?

Did you know exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals like pesticides, solvents and plastics may affect fertility?

Lifetime exposure, especially exposure during the preconception phase can reduce fertility outcomes by:
✨Increasing oxidative stress
✨Increasing s***m DNA fragmentation
✨Alter hormone levels in the blood

Which can all impact reproductive potential!

Are you afraid of creatine? Here’s why you shouldn’t be...

When people think of creatine, it conjures images of body builders or athletes.
But did you know that creatine can be great for anyone looking to optimise energy, muscle recovery, and brain function?
Creatine monohydrate has an excellent safety profile and has been shown to:

✔️ Boost muscle energy & recovery (lifting cellular ATP production)
✔️ Support brain health & cognitive function
✔️ Reduce the risk of osteoarthritis in the knee
✔️ Helps with focus & alertness after a bad night’s sleep

If you are looking to integrate a creatine supplement into your daily routine, quality and dose matters, so seek personalised advice.

Creatine mono can be taken with water, or blended into smoothies.

Pre or post exercise doesn't make a huge difference according to the literature, it's the consistency of use that is key to benefits.

Anyone already on the creatine train?

Endometriosis presentation varies wildly between difference people, and unfortunately, it's often overlooked in clinical practice.

Sometimes, Endo can present as Irritable bowel symptoms, pain with intimacy, or even a cyclic immune-crash right before the period each month. Pre-menstrual pain, and painful ovulation are also red flags to be wary of.

Symptoms to keep front of mind when working with women include:
💛IBS symptoms
💛pelvic pain
💛pain with ovulation
💛pain with in*******se
💛chronic constipation
💛migraines
💛extreme fatigue
💛chronic low iron reserves

Time between first presentation to a Clinician and proper diagnosis of endometriosis is often measured in years, and women deserve better. Endometriosis is a multifactorial condition that takes a multidisciplinary approach, as it impacts relationships, work commitments, intimacy and friendships.

The Naturopathic tool kit has a great deal to offer women with endometriosis, with our evidence base continuing to grow rapidly. Thorough assessment and timely diagnosis are also important. As always, please reach out if you would like some support in this area.

Today, we celebrate International Women’s Day 💗

A milestone for Women worth celebrating is the recent inclusion of menopause hormone therapies (MHT) on the Pharmaceuticals Benefits Scheme (PBS).

These measures give women more choice, allowing for more affordable access to prescriptions of menopause hormonal therapies Estrogel + Prometrium for women in need.

This decision acknowledges the impact of menopause on women's lives.

Women's health matters. It matters to women, their families and communities. It’s amazing to see the government giving women’s health the focus it deserves.

The right information, personal choice & affordable access combine to make a meaningful difference in the lives of many Australian Women.

Eating a variety of colourful fruits and veggies does more than just brighten your plate? 😉
The vibrant pigments in these foods—called polyphenols and phytochemicals ~ are powerful antioxidants that help protect your cells from environmental chemical exposures 🫑🥕🌈

One group of chemicals, called endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), can alter hormone function and are often found in our environment, especially in fragrances and food packaging. A primary source of exposure to EDC's is from our diet as a result of food packaging and storage.

But here’s the good news: polyphenols found in colourful fruits and vegetables, act like armour to protect the body from the harmful effects of EDCs, thanks to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Polyphenols can enhance detoxification, reduce oxidative stress, and research shows a diet rich in polyphenols and reduce the health risks associated with EDC exposure.

Some other ways to reduce EDC exposure:
👉🏽Eat organic where possible
👉🏽Limit processed food
👉🏽Wash fruit and vegetables
👉🏽Avoid canned food
