You can’t eat an elephant in one bite
Ok… Hopefully, by now you have taken the time to sit and at least ponder the idea of what it is that you’d like to achieve. You’ve listed your goal(s), and also made a comparable list of the things you would like to leave behind. And no, I don’t mean your mother-in-law! Even though you have conceived…

Christmas Closure Dec 22nd – Jan 7th
With the holiday season fast approaching, I thought it was prudent to let everybody know that I am taking a full two weeks off over the Christmas and New years period this year. I will be going away so phone reception will not be reliable. All emails and text message inquiries and questions will be…

Hormone Testing; Serum, Saliva, or Urine?
Since I posted a hormone profile discussion yesterday, I have had a number of you ask me what the difference between blood and saliva testing is, when it comes to hormones. One person also asked me to compare it to a urine test… all three are valid in their own arena, but all three have…

Fatigue and Poor immunity (revisited)
Off the back of working with a lot of chronically-low immune people this week, I wanted to revisit the link between stress, fatigue and the immune system. Of all the people I have seen this week with recurring infections or susceptibility to ‘catching everything’, the number one thing they had in common was just how full…

Why are you low in Iron?
Ok… so you’ve just heard the current ad on the radio, talking about how low Iron can lead to fatigue and dizziness.. and the statistic that around half of all women are low in Iron. The ad then quickly prompts you to run out and purchase a certain brand-named Iron supplement, which is then quickly backed up…

Hayfever doesn’t need to be forever!
Hayfever season is upon us, yay! Spring is finally here, and I am guessing that with all rain we have had locally of late, we will be in for a cracker of a pollen count! So I guess a lot of you are starting with the antihistamines, and pretty much just bunkering down in dread?…

Heart rate variability (a talk from the SuperHuman conference)
Life is busy. Society commands it on many levels. I would honestly have to say that around 3/4 of the people that I see in the clinic are there because they have hit some sort of wall and are beginning to burn out emotionally, physically, or both. It is now very well documented that “stress” is…

Natural Progesterone vs Synthetic Progestins; Know the difference!
Over the last few weeks, the RCH put out a series of videos on the topics of women’s hormones and contraception. Suffice to say that after watching two of them, I was left gobsmacked at the level of MISinformation that was relayed in them. Two female “specialists” in the field, flicked loaded Q & A’s…

Perfect thyroid test result? Perhaps not…
An underactive thyroid can reap havoc on many functions in the body. Symptoms can include fatigue, tiredness, exhaustion, constipation, low body temperature (feeling cold all of the time), hair loss, dry skin, cognitive impairment, menstrual abnormalities, weight gain, and hair loss on the outer third of the eyebrows… So many people I see present with some…

Feeling REALLY tired?
Every single day in the clinic, I meet mothers who just cant seem to bounce back to life. Their energy levels have dropped through the floor, and they often struggle to sleep and feel anxious over the smallest of things. The saddest part about it is that they often feel like they are the only…
