ℹ THREE SECONDS TO CONQUER ANY FEAR

If you think about it, there's always something holding us back because it's scary.

Because it's never been done.

Because it's uncharted territory.

Because we are venturing into the unknown.

GIVE YOURSELF 3 SECONDS TO DECIDE!

Get this...

The thing that we want is never within our comfort zone.

And if the thing that you really want right now is outside of your comfort zone, ask yourself...

By doing this or doing that, although it's scary and uncomfortable…

Will it make me a better, wiser person? Will it allow me to grow?

That's when you tell yourself 'let's do it anyway' because it's easy to stand in your own way.

It's easy when you want to do something but you over-analyze, rationalize and ponder on its pros and cons.

The mind is designed to keep us safe.

It will keep us in this safety zone and it will help us figure out all the different reasons why XYZ won't work out.

That's how the mind works.

But at the end of the day, the thing that you ultimately want is outside of your comfort zone.

You now have THREE SECONDS TO DECIDE then say the words, "Let's do it anyway."

ℹ️ WHAT COULD YOU ACHIEVE TODAY

One of the best gifts you can give yourself is getting out of your own way. A lot of the things you have not done are simply because you got in your own way 👣👣 By overthinking, overanalysing, aiming for phantom perfection, instead of steadily aiming for progress 🎯

WHY AM I ALWAYS TIRED?????!

Let us start with a few defintions

⚠TIRED : in need of sleep, or rest. Weary

⚠FATIGUE: extreme tiredness resulting from mental or physical exertion or illness

⚠MALAISE: A general feeling of discomfort, illness, or unease whose exact cause is difficult to identify.

☣Surely you can identify with feeling this way at some point or another in your life. In this world where we pulled in many different directions by work, parenting, family affairs, social lives etc. Self care usually goes to the bottom of the priority box. So what causes that physical feeling of fatigue?☣

🔹ENVIROMENTAL FACTORS
1. Uncomfotable matress
2. Well lit sleeping area

2. Disorders of ATP generation

🔹MENTAL HEALTH STATUS

1. Stress: which may lead to poor sleeping habits (insomnia or even hypersomnolensce/over -sleeping)

🔹MEDICAL CONDITIONS
1. Sleep apnoea ( smokers and overweight people at high risk although it does happen in other people too)
2. Medications such as antihistamines(used for allergies) and cough medicines.
3. Anaemia : be more weary if you are a female with heavy me**es and always feeling tired.
4. Chronic pain syndromes
5. Hypothyroidism

MENOPAUSE

This is natural decline in reproductive hormones when a woman reaches her 40's or 50's.

It is diagnosec after 12 months of not having any periods (amenorrhoea)
During the menopausal transition (perimenopausal period) where wide variation in hormine levels occure, you may experience the following symptoms

* Irregular me**es
* Mastodynia ( pain/tightness in breats)
* Depression
* Headaches
* Vaginal dryness

These symptoms may begin up to 6 years before the final period and continue for a variable number of years after the final period.
As the years progress, the symtpoms tend to decline.

The effect of the declining hormone levels on the urological and ge***al systems are
* A decrease in pH of urine, causing itchiness and foul smelling vaginal discharge.
* Dyspareunia (pain during in*******se)
Effect on bones

And improve quality of life.

So what's the fuss about vitamin drips...
Well a lot of IV drip bars exist, for the sole purpose of energizing you through drips, but IV Nutrient Therapy is a little different and here is why:
The role of your small intestine is to absorb the nutrients from the food we eat into our bloodstream, however, a lot of the foods we eat are not easily absorbed into our systems due to what we call Malabsorption syndromes.
These can be caused by:
• Intestinal damage arising from inflammation, infections or trauma
• Excessive and prolonged use of antibiotics
• Lactase deficiency (commonly referred to as lactose intolerance)
• Parasitic infections
• Certain drugs that injure the stomach lining such as tetracyclines (antibiotics), colchicine (gout medication) and cholestyramine( cholesterol medication)
• Diseases of the gall bladder, liver or pancreas
• Other conditions such as celiac disease, Crohn's disease, chronic pancreatitis, and cystic fibrosis.
So what IV Nutrient Therapy aims to do is to provide you with the necessary nutrients in a form your body will immediately absorb into your bloodstream, bypassing the intestines.
What are the most common nutrient IV additives and their indications?
• Vitamins
• Minerals
• Antioxidant boosters
• Custom rehydration
So who needs IV Nutrient Therapy?
Anyone suffering from any of the below-listed conditions can benefit.
• Patients who are post chemotherapy.
• Patients who need immune boost/support.
• Stress
• Muscular degeneration, hypertension, and other chronic diseases.
• Muscular tension usually experienced by athletes
