Most people only manage 10-15gm of fiber in their daily diet, but research shows that 40gm is what we should be aiming for, to optimise our gut health.
Great info from Probiotic Advisor.

Get out there and get some sun... Do it for the vampires if nothing else!
20-30 mins 3-4 times a week, before 9am or after 3pm - without sunscreen - is a great way to increase your. Vitamin D, and connect with the circadian rhythm :)

Do you wake up in the night frequently? Have trouble getting to sleep at all? Or maybe you run out of steam before the day is done?
Sometimes we lean on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Body clock for ideas, their belief that the major organs do their work most actively at certain times of the day and night, which is one of the many reasons why circadian rhythm is so important for our health.
If you wake between 1am and 3am habitually, it is likely that your liver is working extra hard to process everything that has been thrown at it throughout the day.
We can make adjustments to your diet and lifestyle to work more in sync with the body clock.

For your consideration, my colleague Ross is someone whose research I trust. Worth a read and following him for more!

These are American products but I am aware that many of the "Australian products" available in certain places are made from imported ingredients so it's very worth checking out the list if you take protein powders or shakes. Most are filled with an assortment of chemicals, sweeteners and other junk.
There are definitely great protein supplements available in Australia, but they may not be through the brands you'd hope and expect them to be.
I can help you with that and many other things. Get in touch!

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.

My beautiful baby Ginkgo biloba tree is waking up for spring. Such an ancient and powerful plant medicine.
It has been used for eons to treat many different neurological conditions including dementia and improving symptoms after stroke, anxiety, vertigo, and reducing the impact of cognitive decline particularly age related.
It is a key ingredient in many supplemental blends, or it can be taken alone, in liquid, capsule or tablet form.
Can't wait to see this amazing tree mature, it has such a beautiful energy about it :)

I often see comments when someone asks in an fb group for recommendations for a Naturopath - things like "tried it...didnt work" or "waste of time"... And I just want to highlight some things that I feel are important.

- Your Naturopath is a guide. They can listen, take notes, spend time working through what your issues might be, and present you with a plan for your healing, and be there to keep you on track if you ask for more help. But that's where our part stops.

- You have to do the rest. We can't make you change your diet, we can't be there with you at meal times, guiding you, persuading you. We can't be there to remind you to take your supplements or herbs, or to drink water, or to put the Phone down at a reasonable time and go to bed..... You have to do that.

- Healing is a choice. Naturopathic Treatment is a multi faceted approach, we often will give you a list of things to implement and change, tweak, adjust about your diet and lifestyle. But you have to do it. You have to choose to do it.

- Why spend the time and money going to see a Practitioner, if you don't plan to heed their advice?

- If a follow up consult is advised, make an appointment. One and done is rarely going to give you the results you desire.

- General rule of thumb is that for each year you are afflicted with a condition, you can expect at least a month to start seeing results. It's a marathon, not a sprint. If you want a sprint, go back to your GP for more prescription meds that don't fix the problem.

- There is no magic pill- just because what we suggest for you isn't what you wanted to hear or expected to receive, doesn't mean we don't know what we are doing,

- If you are seeing a Qualified Professional Naturopath (such as myself, see pinned page post for my details) then we do know what we are doing.... And it's your choice whether to follow through or not.

With all that said, If you are ready and willing to heal yourself, with my guidance, send me a message! I have appointments in the coming weeks!
