This time last week I was headed to the beautiful Yarra Valley Living Centre to attend an Essence of Health Retreat, led by Dr Craig Hassed of Monash University. Two things on which the retreat focused were mindfulness and nutrition. For mindfulness it covered how mindfulness practice (a form of meditation) has been shown to assist in the management and prevention of chronic health conditions and in general wellbeing. Most of us today would say we lead stressful lives and we know that prolonged stress leads to ‘wear and tear’ on the body. Technology can give us too much constant input, making it difficult to stay organised, set priorities and manage time. It effectively clutters our mind and mindfulness gives us a break from all of this. The Retreat also gave information and evidence on how applying Mindfulness techniques can help manage pain, lower cortisol and the wear and tear on the body, improve immunity and facilitate lifestyle changes such as weight loss. Another contributing factor of course is what we eat, and plant based diets high in fruit and vegetables, fibre and omega 3 fatty acids are also shown to have great benefit with many health conditions. There are many free apps for mindfulness and great ones to get you started are Calm, Stop Breathe & Think and Smiling mind (which includes practices for children).

A quick way to fight off a sore throat as soon as it comes on. A cup of warm (not boiling) water, add a tbsp of Manuka Honey (10 UMF or above), lemon juice, a pinch of cinnamon (all antimicrobials) and a tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar. (Buy Organic Apple Cider Vinegar that includes ‘The Mother', visible enzymes that are rich in healing nutrients.)

Hopes Type 2 diabetes can be reversed by changing diet

It is now being reported, what Nutritionists and Naturopaths have always understood, that eating a diet designed to balance your blood sugar levels can help treat Type II Diabetes and avoid the serious consequences of this chronic disease.

What is involved in a Nutritional Medicine Consultation? I will take a full case history and then provide you with a treatment plan/recommendations which are often dietary, supplements (if required) and lifestyle changes. Each plan is individualised accordingly to each person's unique needs. I can also work with those people wanting weight loss and health coaching.

I am a Registered Nutritionist currently working from home in Loftus! As a Nutritionist I can help with managing chronic health conditions, recurrent infections, fatigue and lack of energy, digestive complaints such as IBS, mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, autoimmune disorders, weight loss, hormonal imbalances such as thyroid issues, insulin resistance, diabetes, skin disorders such as acne and eczema, pre-natal and post natal health. Nutritional treatments can boost the body's natural healing potential, restoring harmony and preventing disease. Please PM me for more information.
