It’s that time of year! PAVLOVA time!

Whether it’s a Christmas Day treat or a go to dessert for parties and gatherings, this version of the classic Pavlova uses monk fruit sweetener in place of sugar and Greek yoghurt instead of cream for a healthy twist.

Try it and let us know what you think.

Christmas and the festive season usually means family gatherings - joy and happiness for some... but they can also bring unwelcome questions and family pressure, especially around sensitive topics like "when are you going to have children?"

If you're dealing with challenges like this, here are some tips to help:

🌟 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝗕𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀
It’s okay to let your family know these topics are off-limits. A simple, “I’d prefer not to talk about that right now” works.

🌟 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆
Prepare a kind but firm answer for common questions. For example, "We're focussed on other goals for now" or “We’re taking things one step at a time, and we’ll let you know any updates when we’re ready.”

🌟 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀
Make time for things that support your emotional wellbeing - dancing, a morning walk, music, reading, journalling - whatever support you.

🌟 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰
Redirect the conversation to something positive. Ask about their holiday plans or share something you’re excited about.

🌟 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁
Confide in someone you trust - a friend, partner, or health practitioner who can listen and understand what you're going through.

Remember, wherever you are on your fertility journey, it’s okay to protect it from prying parents and insensitive in-laws! 💛

If you’re feeling the pressure or need support during this time, Naturopath & Acupuncturist Randa Majrouh is a specialist in fertility, and Clinical Hypnotherapist, Certified Life Coach and trained Counsellor, Amanda Davies is also a wonderful support during stressful times. 🌿

This year will be especially difficult for many people - after a year of international conflict escalating and political uneasiness in many areas, financial pressures increasing, and now, the attack in Bondi this week which has tragically taken the peace out of December’s traditional celebrations.

This attack has not only affected those directly impacted in Sydney, but for many around the country, who are now feeling less safe, less free to celebrate.

All this on top of the fact that this time of year can be challenging for a number of reasons… so here are some strategies we’ve put together that you can use when and if things feel overwhelming:

IF YOU ONLY HAVE 5 MINUTES

🌿 Step outside for fresh air.

👟Take a short walk in nature.

🌬️ Spend 5 minutes breathing 5 in, 8 out.

IF YOU HAVE 20-30 MINUTES
✍️ Write a letter (you don’t have to send it) or journal to express thoughts that may be hard to speak out loud.

📅 Schedule worry time, then don’t let those worries take over outside that time.

🧘‍♀️ Start a positive daily practice - it could be meditation, guided breathing practices, a mood-shifting dance music session, a daily gratitudes list or a walk everyday in nature - phone off. 📵

Choose something that feels good for you, and notice how the baseline feeling state in your nervous system settles into a calmer, healthier place.

What else helps you find calm in the storm?

Christmas can be “the most wonderful time of the year” and it can also be one of the most intensely stressful times too! 🤯😳😤

Deadlines, family dynamics, financial stress, and the constant mental load can easily compound.

Acupuncture with Randa is a chance to press pause.

An hour where you don’t need to hold it all.

With her expert care and relaxing music playing, your body can soften, your breath can slow down, and your nervous system can actually reset.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do during the festive season is stop, rest, and let yourself be cared for.

✨ Book in some time for yourself before Christmas.

You might not think we have an air pollution problem in Australia, but with traffic, smoke haze, household chemicals, dust… even on days that look “clear”, our bodies have to work hard to protect us.

In this reel, Val shares about a recent study from UTS highlighting benefits of Vitamin C.

We’ve just published a new blog exploring:
• what recent research says about Vitamin C and air pollution
• signs you may be low in Vitamin C
• different forms of supplementation and which are better absorbed
• when IV Vitamin C therapy may be helpful
• a brief note on microplastics and oxidative stress

If you’ve been feeling run down, inflamed, or slow to recover, this is a simple place to start.

👉 Read the full blog via the link in our bio.

Our team can also guide you on personalised supplementation or IV therapy if needed.

On 1 July 2025, the Federal Government reinstated eligibility of private health insurance rebates for several natural therapies, including Naturopathy and Western Herbal Medicine.

Patients and Practitioners of naturopathy are celebrating this major shift, after the government previously removed eligibility for rebates in 2019.

Private Health Insurance (PHI) funds are currently determining how, when and which services they will cover.

Now that regulations have changed, and the overall framework has been approved, each PHI must now develop its own provider recognition process, item codes and eligibility criteria.

Unfortunately, this means benefits will not available immediately.

According to the Australian Natural Therapists Association (ANTA) update, health funds expect to begin recognising approved services from April 2026, and rebates will start once each fund finalises its provider processes and accreditation requirements.

Here at PNMC we are grateful for the work ANTA has been doing behind the scenes to make this possible and support the transition to reinstating rebates for naturopathy.

If you are coming up to a renewal with your health fund, or shopping around, we recommend checking with your fund directly about their plans and criteria for providing rebates and whether your current cover will include these reinstated rebates for naturopathy. 🌿

Weight lifting and resistance training are usually associated with the aesthetics- looking good 😊 or with performance - think athletes.

But there’s so much research to show lifting weights plays a much bigger role in your health and wellbeing - beyond the obvious physical strength and fitness.

Swipe to see some of the unexpected benefits and also how our team can help - whether you’re regularly working out now (and want to get stronger or avoid injury) or if you’re just getting started - or restarted after illness, injury, or a break for other reasons.

It’s worth the effort 💪

WOMEN’S MENTAL HEALTH IS CHALLENGED THROUGH LIFE TRANSITIONS - Why Naturopathic Support Matters

Women move through distinct biological transitions: puberty, pregnancy, motherhood, perimenopause and menopause. Each stage brings huge physical, emotional and mental shifts driven by hormones, gut changes, nutrient demands and the stress response.

Just like puberty, perimenopause is not something to “fix.” But understanding what’s happening physiologically helps women navigate mood changes, anxiety, energy fluctuations, sleep disturbances and emotional overwhelm with more clarity and support.

HORMONAL SHIFTS AND MENTAL HEALTH 🎢
Hormones influence mood, energy, motivation, sleep and emotional stability. During transitional stages, rapid changes can create real psychological challenges:

🔹 Puberty → mood swings, irritability, anxiety
🔹 Postpartum → sudden drop in oestrogen and progesterone linked to anxiety and depression
🔹 Perimenopause → hormone fluctuations causing low mood, irritability, anxiety, sleep issues

Naturopathic care uses custom blends of herbal medicine and nutrients like magnesium and B vitamins, to naturally support hormonal balance.

THE GUT-BRAIN CONNECTION 🧠
The gut microbiome communicates directly with the brain. When oestrogen fluctuates, gut flora shift too, influencing digestion, inflammation and emotional regulation.

🔹 Hormonal changes can disrupt gut balance
🔹 Imbalanced microbiome is linked to anxiety and depression
🔹 Many women experience digestive changes in perimenopause and menopause

Naturopaths support gut health with specific probiotics, personalised nutrition and therapeutic nutrients to stabilise mood and digestion.

CHRONIC STRESS, CORTISOL AND THE EMOTIONAL LOAD 😭🤯
Life transitions often coincide with increased stress, raising cortisol levels and affecting mental well-being:

🔹 High cortisol disrupts sleep
🔹 Stress impacts hormone balance
🔹 Overwhelm can worsen anxiety and mood swings

Adaptogens like Rhodiola, Holy Basil and Ashwagandha, along with acupuncture, meditation and psychotherapy, can all help to regulate stress and build nervous-system resilience.

SUPPORTING WOMEN HOLISTICALLY AT PNMC 🦋

Our practitioners at Perth Natural Medical Clinic treat women’s transitional phases with a whole-body approach. Naturopathy alongside IV drip therapy, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy or remedial massage therapy can assist with:

🔹 Hormone optimisation
🔹 Gut health & microbiome stability
🔹 Nervous system regulation
🔹 Stress recovery
🔹 Increased nutrient absorption

When the body is supported at its foundations, women move through life transitions with greater ease, clarity and emotional steadiness.

If you’re navigating puberty, perimenopause, menopause, postpartum changes, or a major life transition and noticing shifts in your mental health, our team is here to support you with personalised, compassionate care.🌿
