Naturopath Queanbeyan NSW

Naturopath Queanbeyan NSW Want better health? Coming to see me is your opportunity to tell the story of your health journey to I present regularly on Community Radio.

I am a health care provider, an accredited and registered herbalist, nutritionist and naturopath. She has been providing safe and effective health care to the Canberra Region since 1999. My main focus is gut health, because so much of overall health hinges on having a healthy gut. I help people with a range of gut problems e.g IBS, IND, bloating, constipation, diarrhoea – to name a few. With my years of experience I am able to help with many health issues, including immune health, autoimmune disease, low energy, fatigue (again, to name a few)
I am a published author - 3 research papers published in professional journals, 2 articles in Canberra enFrancais, and presenter on a range of health topics. As a passionate herbalist most of my patients are prescribed a personalised program of herbs and supplements to support their body while it heals. When I'm not working, I relax by knitting, reading, and gardening. To challenge my brain I am learning the Thai language - spoken and written.

5 Top Diet Tips For Gut Health

Eat fermented foods with live cultures eg yoghurt (good quality plain yoghurt, not diary dessert style yoghurt), kefire, miso, sauerkraut, and kimchi. These foods will improve diversity of beneficial gut bugs.

5 Top Diet Tips For Gut Health
Tip 2
Include prebiotic rich foods each day, this includes garlic, onions, leeks, Jerusalem artichokes, chicory root, and slightly green bananas. Eating these foods changes the type of beneficial gut bugs, and may have an ongoing impact on appetite control and support weight loss.
Remember, if you are sensitive to Fodmaps, you may not be able to eat fructan rich foods.

5 Top Diet Tips For Gut Health
Tip 1:
Eat plenty of gut friendly fibre rich foods – this includes vegetables, fruits, legumes (lentils, chickpeas etc), and whole grains (oats and barley, or for gluten free quinoa, brown or black rice, buckwheat). These foods provide fermentable fibre that feeds your beneficial gut bugs, and leads to greater microbiome diversity, lower inflammation, and lower risk of developing metabolic diseases.

Research consistently shows that a healthy gut is essential to ongoing physical and mental health. A diet that supports gut health focuses on feeding beneficial microbes with fibre and fermented foods, while limiting ultra-processed products that disrupt microbial diversity and gut barrier integrity
What are the best foods to eat to support good gut health? I'll be posting the top 5 tips on what to eat to support good gut health over the next week or so.
The salad in the photo is rich in fibre and phytochemicals that support gut health - black lentils, figs, cucumber, corn, celery, onion, zucchini, with a garlic balsamic dressing. Delicious and good for you gut.

How Bitter Herbs Help Obesity
I recently read some early research into the use of bitter herbs in weight loss. Bitter herbs such as bitter melon (Momordica charantia), bitter orange (Citrus aurantium), Green tea (Camellia sinensis), and Gymnema sylvestre have been shown to influence weight loss through secretion of hormones that supress appetite (think of this as an ‘off button’) increasing feeling full when you eat; changing gene expression; inhibit fat cell formation.
This research is still in the early stages, so don’t run out and buy bitter herbs just yet. I’m watching the research on this and will post updates as they become available.

Do something for your health and fitness this weekend
Regular exercise doesn’t have to be complicated. Getting outside into the fresh air and going for a 30-minute walk is beneficial for our physical and mental health.
In and around Queanbeyan there are some great nature walks: Bridge to Bridge Queanbeyan, Queanbeyan Riverside Walk, London Bridge Arch to name a few.
Close by in Canberra there are other great walks to choose from: Mt Ainslie, Mt Tennent, Mt Majura, Black Mountain, Red Hill Lookout to name a few.
There’s also National and State Parks e.g. Tidbinbilla and Namadgi.
Choose a walk that you can do and build up to more challenging walks as your fitness builds.
So, pack a picnic and see what the local area has to offer.
What parks and gardens are near you? Are these good places to walk?

Fruit juice - good or bad? It’s worth noting that fruit juice is not a nutritionally sound product – it’s better to eat the fruit.
However, in the interests of not letting the perfect get in the way of the good, if you want to reduce the amount of soft drink you consume, you may consider swapping out your soft drink for 100% pure fruit juice as a stepping stone to drinking more water. Remember that a glass of fruit juice may count as 1-5 servings of fruit, so count it in your food consumption.
Long term consumption of fruit juice may lead to health problems such as Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes, so plan to transition from fruit juice to plain water within a few months.
BTW - packaged fruit juice is often a highly or ultra processed food, so choose freshly juiced fruit wherever possible.

Exercise helps your mental health – why? When you exercise your brain releases dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline, which improves focus, attention and reaction time for at least 2 hours after you exercise. The outcome of this is you will generally feel happier, and more productive.
Exercise doesn't have to be complicated. It's the weekend, so go for a walk in a park.
This photo is from a park in Chiang Mai Thailand - as well as the exercise tips, there's also equipment you can exercise on, or you can just walk around the park and enjoy nature.

Lost your mojo? Tired all the time? Fatigue is different to being tired. People with fatigue often say things like ‘I’m exhausted all the time’, or ‘I can’t concentrate on anything’. It’s more than physical, often disrupting mental capacity – brain fog. Physical fatigue leads to brain fog which leads back to physical fatigue.
Fatigue has many causes, the most common is Infection – microbial and/or viral. It’s worth noting that post-viral fatigue is a well-known phenomenon in Naturopathy. Naturopaths and Herbalists have been helping patients overcome post-infection fatigue for decades.
Are you tired all the time? Book an appointment with me so I can help you get your mojo back. You can book online at https://www.moonhawk.com.au/bookings/ My consultations are face to face in my clinic, or via TeleHealth.

Moonhawk Healing Natural Therapies Safe and effective health care

My journey to becoming a qualified, accredited and registered Naturopath, Nutritionist and Herbalist was a long one. It began when western medicine failed to provide me with the health care solutions I needed at the time. I was tired of being sick all the time. I turned to a herbalist, who, through trial and error, was able to develop a health care regime that suited my individual needs and led to a steady improvement in my health. It felt so good to be well again and have the energy and vitality to live the life I wanted.

I’ve always been interested in health. My personal health journey taught me the importance of having good health and lots of energy to do the things that bring joy into my life. My vision is to help others realise their dreams of having lots more energy, vitality and better overall health so they can do the things they want to do.

I was working from home as a naturopath while holding down a full-time 5 day a week job. I was continually being torn between being a middle manager in a busy workplace and my passion to help people have better health and vitality. I was tired all the time, tired of dealing with office politics, and I was frustrated with bureaucracy. I wasn’t able to do the things I really wanted to do.
