🎄 Holiday Break Info — The Bod Squad Team 🎄

We’re all counting down to a little family time and a well-earned breather, and each practitioner has their own holiday break coming up. You’ll see everyone’s dates on their image so you know exactly who’s around in the lead-up to Christmas.

The clinic will be closed from 25 December to 4 January and we’ll be back on deck Monday 5 January.

We’re working right up to Christmas Eve, so if you’ve been meaning to grab an appointment before the madness of Christmas hits then this is your gentle nudge.

December books out quickly every single year (every. single. year. 😅), so jump in while there’s still space.

A bit of pre-Christmas self-care goes a long way. 🎄✨

30 days ✔️
30 minutes ✔️
Every single day ✔️
MOVE-ember: done ✔️

I walked my suburb into the ground over the last 30 days and found so many little gems I’ve never noticed before. 🥰

My hips ached, my knees complained loudly, I got a blister, and it rained… and rained… and rained 🙄

But my promise to myself won the argument in my head, and honestly? I’m pretty proud of that. 👏🏼

Here’s to keeping the momentum going… maybe just skipping the rainy days 🤣💚

No time to waste! As the coffee heats, the legs burn 🔥☕️

Multi-tasking: a woman’s true superpower. 💪🏼☺️💚

Santa’s in town… and so is back strain season 😉”

The Pageant’s been, which means one thing - Adelaide, it’s officially Christmas time!  
Trees have started going up, lights are coming out of hiding, and we’re all heading to the garage, cellar, or the very top of the cupboards to find those boxes marked “Xmas”.

Before you twist, reach, or crawl under the bed… here’s your friendly reminder from your local chiro:
 ✅ Bend your knees, not your back. Those decoration boxes are always heavier than you remember.
 ✅ Take your time. It’s not a race, your body prefers slow, steady lifting.
 ✅ Switch sides. When reaching or decorating, share the load (yes, even tinsel hanging counts).
 ✅ Hydrate and snack. Energy crashes + overreaching = grumpy elves and tight muscles.

It’s one of Adelaide’s best traditions to decorate the moment Santa waves hello, so go for it, just look after your spine while you do! 🎄💚

Have you put your tree up yet? Or are you waiting ‘til December 1st?

Day 10 of MOVE-ember and my mind has started working overtime trying to talk me out of it.

I was going to walk while Lis trained… but she didn’t go.
 Then I was going to walk my husband to work… but after his big weekend in the garden, he got a lift instead.
 Then I thought I’d go mid-morning… but I was in a good flow on the computer, so told myself I’d go later.

The excuses all sounded reasonable but they were still excuses. 
So when a random gap appeared in my clinic diary, I laced up and off I went.

This month is teaching me how often the stories you tell yourself can get in the way and how good it feels to move anyway. 💚

💬 Real talk… it’s time to move!

I went along to hear Dr Stacy Sims speak in Adelaide on the 2nd of November, and wow what an incredible reminder of just how powerful movement is for our bodies (and our minds!).

I’d already started my own little MOVE-ember challenge, committing to move every single day this month, but listening to her passion and research around women’s health gave me the nudge to share it with all of you.

So here’s the invite: even though it’s the 3rd of November, it’s definitely not too late to join in.
 Your version of movement might be a walk, a stretch, a dance in the kitchen, or a full-on workout. My goal is 30 minutes a day but you can choose whatever works for you.

The only rule? You’ve got to lock in and commit!

Let’s move through November together for strength, sanity, and maybe a little smugness when we roll into December feeling fabulous.🎄

Busy women don’t have time to feel stiff and achy! 😉💚

If you’re pregnant and feeling sharp, shooting pain down one leg, stop scrolling - as that could be sciatica. 🫣

I see this a lot in clinic. Your centre of gravity shifts as your belly grows, hormones loosen your ligaments, and sometimes bub’s position adds even more pressure on the sciatic nerve. The result? Pain, tingling or numbness that makes even simple things (like rolling in bed) feel tricky.

So what helps?
 ✨ Sleep on your side with a pillow between your knees ✨ Short, gentle walks or swimming ✨ Heat packs + posture breaks ✨ Avoid long stretches sitting on soft couches, single-leg standing (like putting pants on), and heavy lifting/twisting

Pregnancy is an incredible journey, but it’s also a big physical load. A few small changes can make sciatica much more manageable so you can get back to enjoying the exciting parts of pregnancy. ☺️💚

Let’s be honest, we women are tired. We carry a lot, and yes, life is busy. But sometimes it’s not just stress or poor sleep… it’s low iron.

Iron is what carries oxygen in your blood. Without it, every cell runs on empty. That’s why low iron can leave you fatigued, dizzy, sore after exercise, or struggling with recovery.

Here’s the kicker 👉 women need almost double the iron of men. And during pregnancy, the need jumps even higher.

What does that look like in real life?
 🥩 150 g lean beef = ~4 mg iron 🍗 150 g chicken thigh = ~2 mg 🥦 1 cup lentils = ~6 mg 🥬 100 g spinach = ~3 mg 
Daily needs for women 19–50 = 18 mg. So you can see why most of us need a mix of foods (and often still fall short).

💡 Quick tip: add vitamin C (like citrus or capsicum) to boost absorption, and skip tea/coffee with meals.

If you’re ticking the boxes of fatigue, headaches, or shortness of breath, it’s worth asking your GP for a blood test.

Iron matters for energy, bones, posture & recovery. Pairing good nutrition with chiropractic care is a powerful combo to help women feel stronger, more resilient, and ready to live life. ☺️💚

What a weekend in Adelaide 🌸 Sunshine, warmer air, and so many people (including me!) out in their gardens. After months of grey skies, it felt so good to soak up some much-needed vitamin D.

As a chiropractor, I can’t help but think about what that sunshine is doing for our bones, mood, and energy. Vitamin D is the key that helps your body absorb calcium, without it, bones can become weaker over time. For women, that’s especially important once we hit our 30s and bone density naturally starts to decline.

The challenge is… many of us come out of winter with low vitamin D levels. Shorter days, more time indoors, and less sun on our skin all add up. That’s why spring is the perfect time to top up naturally and reset those levels for the months ahead.

☀️ In Adelaide, 10–15 minutes of sun on your arms and face, a few times a week, is often enough. A coffee break outside might be doing more for your health than you realise!

There’s more to the story though; food sources, barriers, and why women need to pay particular attention to their vitamin D levels.

Are you taking semaglutides to lose weight? Then this post is for you.

Semaglutides can be a powerful support for weight management, but studies show that medication alone doesn’t guarantee success. In fact:

* In clinical trials, participants lost an average of 12–15% of body weight, but around one in three people lost less than 10%.
* Real-world data shows that 17–20% regain all or more of the weight once treatment stops.
* The most consistent success happens when semaglutides are combined with lifestyle changes, especially nutrition and movement.

That’s where a dietitian can make a real difference. Nutrition guidance helps you:
* Manage side effects such as nausea or low appetite with tailored food choices.
* Build a balanced, sustainable eating pattern that supports energy, gut health, and long-term weight stability.
* Protect muscle mass and metabolic health by pairing semaglutides with adequate protein and strength-based activity.

The research is clear: semaglutides work best when supported by practical, personalised lifestyle changes.

If you’re using semaglutides and want to get the most from your journey, our dietitian Deeni can guide you with realistic, supportive strategies to help you succeed now and maintain results long term. Just give the clinic a call on 84319100 to book a time. ☺️💚
