❤️ Let’s Make 2026 the Year We Protect Our Heart Health ❤️

Heart health is often something we don’t think about — until something goes wrong. Yet heart disease usually develops quietly over many years, long before symptoms appear.

The good news? 💚
Our daily choices make a powerful difference.

🫀 Heart disease isn’t just one condition — it includes coronary artery disease, heart attacks, heart failure, irregular heart rhythms, peripheral artery disease, and stroke. Many of these are strongly influenced by diet, lifestyle, and inflammation.

🌿 What we eat truly matters.
Research shows that diets rich in whole, plant-based foods can lower cholesterol, reduce inflammation, improve blood vessel function — and in some cases even help reverse heart disease.

🥦 Heart-loving foods include:
✔️ Vegetables & fruits
✔️ Beans & lentils
✔️ Whole grains
✔️ Nuts & seeds
✔️ Olive oil & avocado
✔️ Leafy greens & beetroot
✔️ Garlic & turmeric

💊 Targeted supplements may also support heart health, such as omega-3s, magnesium, CoQ10, garlic, and berberine — when chosen and dosed appropriately.

✨ Let’s make 2026 the year we care for our hearts proactively — not reactively.

If you’d like personalised support, our naturopaths can help you create a heart-health plan tailored to your needs, medications, and risk factors.

📞 Call the clinic to book an appointment - 08 9592 7360. Telehealth appointments availalbe.
🏡 Or drop in and speak with our friendly team

Your heart works for you every single day — let’s start working for it ❤️

✨ Thank You, Bayshore Community ✨

As we wrap up 2025, we want to send a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful Bayshore community. Your support, trust and loyalty mean so much to us, and we are incredibly grateful to be part of your health journey 💚

This year has brought some changes behind the scenes…

👶 Kerry-Ann, our much-loved Beauty Therapist and Naturopath, stepped away to welcome her beautiful baby boy, Billy, into the world. We are so thrilled for her and wish her family all the best in this special new chapter.

🌿 Emily (Schoondy) Schoonderwoerd moved on to pursue a new lifestyle north of the river. We thank her for her time at Bayshore and wish her every success and happiness.

We’re pleased to share that our trusted naturopathic team remains strong 💪
✨ Ro, Sheryn and Ellen continue to support our community and look forward to caring for you into the new year.

We’ve also welcomed some wonderful new faces to the Bayshore team:

🌱 Katie Fenton has joined us as a Naturopath after finishing amongst the top of her class, bringing fresh knowledge, enthusiasm and a passion for natural health.

🌱 Felicity Ohana, a more seasoned Naturopath with a strong focus on gut health, has joined the team and is now offering colonic hydrotherapy at Bayshore.

There have also been changes at our front desk:

🖨️ Paul has stepped away to return to his previous career in printing, though he’s looking forward to helping out when needed.
👋 Kaitlyn has joined us as the friendly new face at reception.

Thank you for being part of the Bayshore community. We wish you and your loved ones a happy, healthy and fulfilling 2026 🎉💚

🌿 Your body is always talking to you — are you listening?
Many subtle signs we brush off as “normal” can actually be your body’s way of telling you it’s missing key nutrients.
Here are some common clues that point to possible nutritional deficiencies 👇
🧠 Brain fog, fatigue, or low mood – may indicate low B vitamins, magnesium, or omega-3s
💅 Brittle nails or hair loss – can signal low zinc, iron, or protein
💋 Cracks at the corners of your mouth – often linked to low B2, B3, or iron
💃 Muscle cramps or twitches – may mean low magnesium or calcium
👁️ Dry eyes or poor night vision – can be a sign of low vitamin A
💜 Easy bruising – may reflect a lack of vitamin C or vitamin K
🌙 Trouble sleeping – often linked to magnesium or tryptophan deficiency
Our bodies are wonderfully designed to give us feedback — we just have to know how to interpret it!

💆‍♀️ Feeling Tense? Here’s Why a Massage Might Be Exactly What You Need ✨

With the end-of-year busyness, long hours, and extra stress, many of us are carrying more tension than we realise. Massage isn’t just a luxury — it’s one of the most powerful ways to support your body, mind, and overall wellbeing.

Here are just a few benefits:

✨ Releases muscle tension & reduces pain
Massage improves circulation, lengthens tight muscles, and helps ease those stubborn aches from stress, sitting, or overdoing it.

✨ Calms the nervous system
It lowers cortisol (your stress hormone) and boosts feel-good chemicals like serotonin and dopamine — perfect for when life feels overwhelming.

✨ Improves sleep quality
By relaxing both the body and the mind, massage can help you drift into deeper, more restorative sleep.

✨ Supports detoxification
Massage encourages lymphatic flow, helping your body clear waste products and reduce inflammation.

✨ Boosts mood and mental clarity
A relaxed body = a clearer, calmer brain. Many people walk out feeling lighter, brighter, and more balanced.

✨ Enhances overall wellbeing
Regular massage can support immunity, reduce anxiety, loosen stiff joints, and improve posture.

🌿 We’re excited to announce a new service at Bayshore Naturopathic Clinic…
Felicity is now offering massage!

She brings a warm, nurturing approach with a focus on relaxation, release, and restoring balance in the body.

If your body has been calling out for some TLC — this is your sign.

👉 Book your massage with Felicity today!
Your muscles (and your mind) will thank you. 💛

🎄 Thinking of Gifting a Scented Candle or Perfume This Christmas? Read This First… 🎁

It’s that time of year when beautifully packaged candles, diffusers and perfumes seem like the perfect gift — but many people don’t realise what’s actually inside those fragrances.

Most scented products (unless they’re pure essential-oil based) can contain hundreds of undisclosed chemicals, including known endocrine disruptors that interfere with hormones, mood, sleep, metabolism and even cognitive function.

Before you wrap up anything fragranced for someone you love, it’s worth understanding how these chemicals affect the body — and why the fragrance industry remains largely unregulated.

I’ve written a new blog post that explains:
✨ What “fragrance” really means on a label
✨ How endocrine disruptors affect hormones
✨ Symptoms linked to synthetic fragrance exposure
✨ Safer, low-tox gift ideas for Christmas
✨ Why not everything on the shelves is safe
