What on earth is a "healthy" diet during pregnancy?

, ,

Whatever your pre-conception journey has been, I am assuming if you are reading this, you are now pregnant and literally growing bones. This is such a unique and beautiful time in your life and one that is filled with much emotion and a whole lot of unknown, especially if this is your first pregnancy.

Your diet and lifestyle during conception and pregnancy have the ability to either benefit or possibly cause adverse effects to your growing baby. So, it is super important to provide optimum nutrition as best you can during this critical time of development to give your child the best start in life....

Headaches and Your Pregnancy - Guest Blog by Nomad Chiropractic

, ,

There are many changes going on in the body during pregnancy, which is why occasionally headaches can be experienced. This can be due to and or associated with the obvious increase in blood volume in the body, your changes in body posture and weight, the hormones being released and tension on the spine.

Ramping up the Self Love in 2024

New Year, Same You. You are not a “before” and you are not an "after". Yep, you heard me. You are just fabulous here and now and back then and always. ❤ The old 'New year, New you', which is thrown around at the beginning of each year, really grinds my gears (it’s February, and I am still hearing it). We are perfectly imperfect, and that is just the way it should be.

Yes, there are things we want to work on and improve within ourselves at times - striving for growth is a really great thing…

Skipping the Bad Health Advice this Festive Season

, , ,

And although it is busy and sometimes a little chaotic…I love it. BUT…..What I don’t necessarily love is all the ‘health tips’ and ‘health advice’ I see come out at this time of year. For example, I read on social media the other day a nutritional health professional advising to “avoid pasta and rice over the silly season” and “don’t arrive hungry when going out for dinner so you can avoid the entrees and go straight to mains”…..face palm. I have no words for this kind of “health advice” and it truly saddens me.

Why is Vitamin D SO Important?

,

Despite living in Australia, a large chunk of the Australian population have sub-par Vitamin D levels. In fact, approximately 25% of the Australian population are classified as Vitamin D deficient. Deficiency of Vitamin D is a global health issue– with more than one billion children and adults being deficient! And how do we get most of our Vitamin D? You guessed it, the SUN. What is the big deal? Among its many roles, Vitamin D is particularly essential for;

Nutmeg's Oat Biccies

, , ,

Recipe time! So I made these bad boys a couple of days ago and they are almost gone! Note to self: make double the recipe, every time.

Kind of Anzac biscuit-ish, followed a vague recipe but like I normally do, added and subtracted stuff depending on what I have at home. and what I felt like devouring at the time.

How Can Naturopathy Help Individuals Struggling with an Eating Disorder?

, ,

There are so many ways a Naturopath can help a patient in recovery from an ED/DE - bringing it back to basics, and really focussing on food, nutrition, exercise and lifestyle is where it is at. And when a multi-disciplinary team is involved, the better I say - especially a GP and Psychologist/counsellor.

Tummy’s sucked in, lips pouted, photo taken and retaken (and retaken again) until the perfect angle is captured. Followed by editing, filters, skin smoothing, ‘face-tuning’ to make boobs bigger, tummies smaller and butts firmer. All of this to perfect the image before it is posted online. . .

Do you struggle with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)?⁠ 🦵 You know that jittery feeling in your legs, especially at night time, that makes you want to constantly move/pace the lounge room!? ⁠People with RLS (myself included) feel the irresistible urge to move their legs, which is accompanied by uncomfortable sensations.

The Lowdown on Tasty Tasty Coffee

, ,

Yes, I am a Naturopath and I drink coffee – SHOCK HORROR! Unless coffee doesn’t agree with you or you hate the taste, in my humble opinion a coffee a day is absolutely O.K! It has actually been associated with a number of positive health outcomes (isn’t that cool!?) Yet like most things, too much of anything is not necessarily a great thing and can quickly be associated with a number of undesirable health outcomes.
