Let’s talk about metabolic health

Your metabolic health affects far more than just your weight - it’s the foundation of your overall wellbeing. It influences your energy levels, mood, sleep, and long-term risk of conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.

Good metabolic health means your body can effectively manage blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure - keeping everything in balance.

💙 Small changes make a big difference:
🥗 Eat whole, balanced meals
🚶 Move regularly
💤 Prioritise good sleep
🧘 Manage stress
🩺 Keep up with health checks

I now offer metabolic health reviews to help you optimise your health from the inside out.

Because feeling good starts with balance. 🌿

If joint pain is limiting your movement or affecting your quality of life, a joint injection may help.

Joint injections can:

✅ Reduce inflammation
✅ Relieve pain
✅ Improve mobility and daily comfort

They’re often used for conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, or tendon inflammation - and can provide relief when other treatments haven’t worked as well.

At Dundonald Consulting Rooms, I offer joint injections following a detailed assessment to ensure it’s the right option for you.

Book a consultation today and get back to moving comfortably again.

Bumps, bruises and minor injuries - what to do

Slips, trips, and everyday knocks happen to all of us. Most minor bumps and bruises heal well at home, but here’s how to help your body recover:

🧊 Apply a cold compress for 10–15 minutes at a time to reduce pain and swelling.

🛌 Rest the area – avoid putting too much pressure on it for a day or two.

🦵 Elevate if possible – helps reduce swelling and bruising.

💊 Pain relief – paracetamol or ibuprofen can help ease discomfort.

⚠️ See a doctor if:

Pain or swelling is severe

You can’t move the injured area

There’s a visible deformity

You feel dizzy, confused, or lose consciousness after a head bump

If you’re unsure whether it’s “just a bruise” or something more, private GP appointments are available at Dundonald Consulting Rooms

Thinking about the chickenpox vaccine for your child?

Chickenpox is usually mild...but it can sometimes cause discomfort, complications, and time off school or work for the whole family.

The chickenpox (varicella) vaccine offers safe and effective protection, helping prevent infection or reduce its severity if your child does catch it later.

At Dundonald Consulting Rooms, I offer private chickenpox vaccinations for children (and adults who’ve never had chickenpox).

👩‍⚕️ Quick, gentle appointments
💉 Two-dose course for full protection

To learn more or book your child’s vaccine, visit drstevenkinnear.com or call (028) 9558 3005

Protect their health, and your peace of mind.

Look at this lovely handmade card given to and I today by one of our amazing little OIT finishers.

It’s amazing to see these little ones now eating the foods they are allergic to, and the confidence, relief of anxiety, and freedom it gives to them and their families.
