PCOS no more! It’s about time that this condition was recognised as a condition caused by metabolic dysfunction rather than primarily focussing on the cysts…which are just a symptom👏

Kitchen renovations make food prep challenging BUT I’m finding ways to still enjoy my low carb lifestyle. The New World Havelock North Rotisserie chickens make it easier (and they’re really tasty)

Happy mother’s day. Mums are so important on so many levels. But from just one, a biological perspective, they’re the ones we inherit most of our mitochondria from. Mitochondria make energy for our cells and keep us alive and healthy. So mums literally give us life and vitality.

This sub stack article explains why low intensity exercise like walking is so good for our metabolic health…and it’s more sophisticated than just being a calories burner.

If we take care of our metabolic health it becomes much easier to maintain a healthy weight.

If detecting bowel cancer is something you want to be proactive about, but don’t qualify for the funded screening in NZ, check out TrueScreen. I’m so appreciative for the GP that has developed this at home screening test.

I lost my good friend Vic to bowel cancer at 34 and she encouraged us all to be proactive. While she was sick I honoured her advice and they found polyps, so you can’t assume it’s just a disease that strikes the older folk.

If you’ve had shoulder bursitis and impingement you’ll know that it’s a miserable condition. Before being able to work on strength and stability we must deal to the pain and inflammation. I’m trying traditional Chinese medicine, rather jumping straight to a cortisone injection. I am getting my treatment from Heiko at theacupunctureclinic in Hastings. Stay tuned if you’re curious to see the results.

AGREE. It’s not just what you eat that’s important, but also when you eat. Especially as we get older and become less insuline sensitive.

Support Malaghan to bring CAR-T cell therapy to NZ so kiwis with blood cancer don’t have to travel overseas to get this life saving treatment. https://donate.malaghan.org.nz/fundraisers/ingridmilnes
