It's that time of year. Our little team celebrating Christmas together. What better way to do it than with Italian - everyone's favourite 🎄💜

Such a busy time of year, so it's always nice to catch up and take a moment together.

Look forward to seeing everyone for their appointments over the next couple of weeks. Our last day will be the 23rd of December. Back again on Monday, the 12th of January 🥰

Why are food sensitivities becoming so common? 🤔
A big reason is that our modern diet has changed fast — and our bodies haven’t had time to adapt.

✨ We eat more processed foods and dairy than previous generations.
✨ Wheat was modified in the 1960s to grow faster and resist bugs, and today it's often heavily sprayed. Since then, gluten-related issues have risen significantly (Dr Rodney Ford).

Your gut plays a huge role in your health — it’s responsible for about 70% of your immune system. So even if you don’t have digestive symptoms, gut imbalances can still show up as fatigue, skin issues, mood changes, or inflammation.

If you’re curious whether food sensitivities or gut health may be affecting you, I’m here to help. 💛

We are excited to finally have some creatine in stock.

You may have heard of creatine from a sports perspective. It helps increase muscle volume, supports quicker recovery and gives you more energy.

However, creatine also supports cognitive health. That is, it also supports energy production in the brain. Studies have shown that creatine can improve memory, reasoning and executive functioning.

If you would like us to test this amazing supplement on you next time you are in, just let us know. 💪✨

Dealing with a fear:

Step 1: Acknowledge it

Step 2: Be curious about it, the thoughts, emotions and beliefs related

Step 3: Be brave and do what you want to

Step 4: If you fail get up and try again

It is important to give yourself the opportunity to be curious about your fears. Notice how they feel in your body, the emotions that arise and the associated thoughts, observe the fear in yourself without judgment. Find out as much as you can about all the emotions and beliefs related to your fears.
You can read more about dealing with fear in the Centered Health blog 💜

“Sit with it. Sit with it. Sit with it. Sit with it. Even though you want to run. Even when it’s heavy and difficult. Even though you’re not quite sure of the way through. Healing happens by feeling.”

Had a fabulous last weekend learning all things Applied Kinesiology as we came to the end of our course this year.

I first took the Applied Kinesiology course as a fourth-year student in Chiropractic College, so it's been wonderful to have the amazing Dr Michael Ho**er in Christchurch this year, allowing me the opportunity to do the full course again.

I've learnt so much and brought in so many new techniques into my practice this year, which was one of my big goals for the year. We are in a profession where it's so important to keep learning. Every year, more is understood about health and wellbeing, so it's an important responsibility to invest time in learning.

Looking forward to being able to offer you all some new techniques. This final weekend course was on systemic conditions and nutrition.

What can I do about my gut discomfort?
Ask me if you would like to take a look at any potential food sensitivities. I can also take a look at the general health of your gut and pick up any issues that might be contributing to your physical and or mental issues.

It is important to remember that your gut makes up 70% of your immune system, so while you may not have any gastrointestinal disturbances, it is still an important place to check if you have any other unwanted symptoms in your body.

It is also nice to know that if a food sensitivity, or multiple ones, show up in your body, it does not mean that you will be off these food groups for life. It is important to have a break, heal the gut and then reassess.

Jillian Turecki is a relationship coach, and her book "It Begins With You" is a beautiful book that helps us awaken our conscious selves to define the love we want.

The book discusses nine truths:

💜Truth 1: It begins with you.
💜Truth 2: The mind is a battlefield.
💜Truth 3: Lust is not the same thing as love.
💜Truth 4: You must show up as your higher self.
💜Truth 5: You must speak up and tell the truth.
💜Truth 6: You have to love yourself.
💜Truth 7: You cannot convince someone to love you.
💜Truth 8: No one is coming to save you.
💜Truth 9: We must make peace with our parents.

Bottom Line - relational transformation doesn't begin with the other person. It begins with you. And when you heal, change and show up differently, everything around you shifts.

A really great read. Enjoy.
