Which Magnesium is for you? Most people have had, or are currently taking Magnesium, for all manner of issues (energy, sleep, stress, pain, recovery and more). Do you know that there are over seven different types of Magnesium, based on what it is bound with? Have you heard of citrate, malate, glycinate etc? It can be confusing, as each type has specific actions. If you're taking Magnesium, or interested in it, get in touch and we can help you with your decision; ensuring you get the best one for you.

How's your lymphatic system? This beautiful and delicate detoxification support system that helps to keep your body clean and healthy. Your lymph glands are part of this amazing system, and it's clear when they are compromised, because they swell.
But what about other signs of a challenged lymphatic system? Do you have puffy lower legs? Bloating? Muscle/Joint pain? Skin infections? Feeling generally unwell? We use specific herbal medicines and teas to support the lymphatic system. If you'd like to give your lymphatics some love, or find out more about this incredible system, give our research-nerd (we mean Naturopath) a try. ask@healhealth.co.nz www.healhealth.co.nz

Is it your Thyroid?
Under or over-active thyroid function can have you feeling pretty miserable. One can cause you to feel tired, heavy, puffy,and unmotivated; the other can cause you to feel hyper, restless, sweaty and anxious (amongst other things).
You may have a family history of this and be curious, or be already diagnosed and interested in further testing. Minerals are incredibly important to understand in these conditions, such as Selenium and Zinc (both low in our soils here in NZ).
Get in touch if you'd like to discuss your thyroid gland function - we're here to help.

In fact, the majority of our clients at HEAL express a version of baseline exhaustion and low motivation - which is why they come to see us. We know you can feel just so much BETTER! Your life is precious, and we want you to get the most out of it. You may have a nutrient deficiency, infection, poor gut absorption, hormone imbalance - let's find the cause.

How's your week been? Started out with great intentions? Ended it feeling as exhausted as last week, unsure how this happened again?
It may be that you simply have too much on your plate and there is genuine reason for feeling tired. Or...you could be missing key nutrients that you need to produce energy. We're deficient in quite a few of these in NZ, and replacing them can be a true "ahhh" moment that you can really feel in your body.
Keen to get to Friday feeling like you have gas in the tank for a great weekend? Talk to us. Appointments are 45 minutes and a great opportunity to get to the bottom of the cause of your fatigue.

Get in touch today to find out how HEAL can help you on your healing journey.

"W**d-and-Seed"
This is an old naturopathic concept related to your gut, and spring is a great time to look at this. Heavier foods and less movement over winter may lead to stagnation in the gut.
"W**d" = deal with what is living in the gut and shouldn't be (e.g. bacteria, fungal infections, parasites
"Seed" = introduce healthy bacteria and foods to colonise the gut with microbes that deliver health
I'm all about accurate prescribing here at HEAL, so before embarking on any quick-fix approach, now is a great time to test your gut and see what's developed there over winter. That way, we can W**D out specifically what shouldn't be there, and SEED what is missing. Contact me for questions on this, and let's get your gut sorted for a healthy spring and summer! ask@healhealth.co.nz
