At age 17, she was rejected from college.
At age 25, her mother died from disease.
At age 26, she suffered a miscarriage.
At age 27, she got married.
Her husband abused her. Despite this, her daughter was born.
At age 28, she got divorced and was diagnosed with severe depression.
At age 29, she was a single mother living on welfare.
At age 30, she didn't want to be on this earth.
But, she directed all her passion into doing the one thing she could do better than anyone else.
And that was writing.
At age 31, she finally published her first book.
At age 35, she had released 4 books, and was named Author of the Year.
At age 42, she sold 11 million copies of her new book, on the first day of release.

This woman is J.K. Rowling. Remember how she considered su***de at age 30?
Today, Harry Potter is a global brand worth more than $15 billion dollars.

Never give up. Believe in yourself. Be passionate. Work hard.

It’s never too late.🙏🏻

If like many of us your find food labelling confusing here's some good info to help ID hidden sugars in your food
Please consider signing the petition for clearer food labelling
I really like the idea of representing it by a picture of the number of teaspoons

https://www.choice.com.au/food-and-drink/nutrition/sugar/articles/added-sugar?utm_source=thank-you&utm_medium=fb-lead&utm_campaign=added_sugar

Added sugar isn't just in processed junk foods, it's hidden in so-called healthy foods too. We want it labelled so we can make an informed choice about what we eat.

Hi all
If you're considering investing in a quality water filter after the governments warning about lead in tap water here's a good place to start research
https://www.facebook.com/565688441/posts/10157043820753442/

Australian households have been officially advised to run their taps for at least 30 seconds in the morning amid fears of lead poisoning from plumbing products.

Hi All just letting you know that the clinic has reopened after a short break and passing on some very exciting news that a few clients have recently let me know that they have become pregnant. Its a wonderful thing for me as a practitioner to hear that I have been able to help couples in this way, its what makes me love my work so much. I find the combination of Acupuncture and Naturopathic support very helpful for couples that are finding it difficult to start their family.
The time before you actually start trying to conceive a is very important time to start treatment as the health and strength of your eggs and s***m are very dependant on your health at the time they are maturing and this time starts around 4 months before they are ready for conception.

If you're Planning a baby?

Have you heard the term “pre-conception care” and wondered what this is all about?
Having a baby is the biggest thing that happens in many people’s lives, when you are planning to start a family you are laying the foundation for the rest of your life and that of your baby. So it makes sense to do the best you can to ensure that you and your partner are in the best possible health before you start trying to conceive. Numerous studies have shown that the health and well-being of parents at conception and, mum’s health throughout pregnancy and breast feeding, have a strong impact on the health and well-being of their baby. It’s hard to imagine that mum’s health and the choices she makes through her pregnancy can have such an impact on her child’s health as an adult but there is strong evidence that these factors can pre-dispose the baby to developing cardio-vascular disease, adult onset diabetes or struggling with obesity. Dad’s health is also very important, high stress, exposure to environmental toxins and lifestyle choices especially smoking have a big impact on s***m vitality and being able to make a baby.
Preconception care ideally starts at least four months before trying to have a baby. This is the time for identifying health issues and life-style factors that could impact on your ability to conceive a healthy baby and starting to make changes to ensure that you both are in the best possible health when the time comes. Optimizing your health optimizes the health of your eggs and s***m to give your baby the best opportunity for a healthy life. Preconception care increases your chances of falling pregnant, helps to achieve a healthy pregnancy, healthy baby and a good recovery after the birth.

Great guides to healthy foods, did you know kids behavior can be linked to pesticides on their food !!

Strawberries remain at the top of the Dirty Dozen™ list of the EWG Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce™, with spinach jumping to second place in the annual ranking of conventionally grown produce with the most pesticide residues.

A colleague shared this little gem this morning and I'm passing it on to my face book friends.
I'm sure some of you may be under quite a lot of stress in your daily lives and you are sure to know friends in the same situation. We may not be able to change these stressors easily but we can improve how our body can cope with it and in doing so help protect our brain and body against these chronic problems.
Naturopathicly we can use herbs and nutrients to support the brain, nervous system and adrenals. As well as looking into how diet and lifestyle choices could be exacerbating the problem.
Acupuncture is fantastic to help fortify the whole bodies coping mechanisms and help calm and restful sleep to recharge.
If you know of anyone who could benefit please pass this on or get them to contact me

The importance of Pre-Conception Preparation

For a myriad of reasons couples are delaying having children until they are in their 30’s. The up side of this is that they have more time to focus on them-selves as a couple, more time to build careers and to set up their homes before bringing children into their world. The down-side is that as people get older their fertility declines.
By the time a woman is 35 her natural fertility may have fallen considerably from what it was in her 20’s and men are not exempt from age related fertility decline either. This is because as we age the DNA in our cells gradually becomes damaged and our new cells are being made based on that damaged DNA. S***m are very susceptible to this damage as it takes 3 months to completely make new s***m, eggs are a little different as a woman is born with all her immature eggs in the ovaries however the environment in which these eggs mature definitely affects their viability.
Damage to our DNA is caused by the toxins in our environment and foods… pesticides, herbicides, phthalates, PCBs, BPA, PBDEs, dioxins, furans, organic solvents, electromagnetic radiation exposure… the list seems endless. Lifestyle factors, smoking, caffeine, alcohol and other recreational pursuits, some pharmaceuticals, weight gain, lack of regular exercise and stress, stress, stress, all further impact on the ability to produce healthy viable eggs and s***m.
Pre-Conception Preparation should start 4 months before trying to conceive and is extremely valuable for couples who are considering IVF or other assisted reproductive technology support. These interventions are very expensive, invasive and emotionally challenging so doing everything possible to build the vitality of both parents is important before starting IVF treatment.
Work done in the leadup to IVF helps protect the integrity of the DNA and ensures the vitality of the eggs and s***m are as good as possible to increase the likely-hood of producing healthy embryo’s and a successful pregnancy.
Preconception care increases your chances of falling pregnant, helps to achieve a healthy pregnancy, healthy baby and a good recovery after the birth.

Just a little reminder about how our emotions impact on our physical health

As Naturopaths, we are well & truly aware of performing a food-based elimination diet-however maybe it's the toxic emotions that we need to eliminate as well as the foods to lead us to the healthiest & happiest we can be!
