Flip Your Menopause on it’s Head
A Powerful Secret they Don’t Want you to Know You probably know, deep down that you are not a machine to be fixed – a dent in a car won’t fix itself- unlike your bumps and scrapes. You have an adaptive healing intelligence – you are more like a garden that responds to tending, not […]
Vitality- can it really be that simple?
Terrain-Centred Nature- First Naturopathy Why you can’t buy it off the shelf! I just love those A-HA moments -when clarity lands with a thud – with a perception shifting question hot on it’s heels. My most recent A-HA moment inspired this blog. Nothing like the mind-numbing indoctrination…uh hum…information I was force fed in lecture halls […]
Terrain-Centred Nature-First Naturopathy
Terrain-Centred Nature-First Naturopathy Did you know that the human organism is home to trillions of bacteria and fungi, and that we carry 10 X more microbial DNA than human DNA? Makes one wonder how we ever came to think that anti-biotics (def: anti-life) could be a good idea. Obviously, we have enjoyed a mutually beneficial […]
Oh the Iron-y
Terrain-centred Nature-First Naturopathy I have been deeply exploring iron metabolism these past few years, and wow, have I learnt a lot. It really has got me wondering about the reliability of institutionally derived education. After all, we only need to look at where the ‘funding’ of education is coming from to get a sense of […]
Vitamin D-the great deceiver!?
Terrain-Centred Nature-First Naturopathy The best thing is for me to come straight out with it…I was wrong and I am sorry. Very sorry. As I learn more, I do better. And gee, have been I learning a lot. This may be challenging or even triggering; we have all been heavily exposed to the idea that […]
It’s not called liver by chance. Live(r)
Terrain-Centred Nature-First Naturopathy It is no coincidence that the root word of liver is live as it is an incredibly important organ and plays a key role in maintaining your wellbeing. People speak of ‘doing a liver detox’ however, the reality is, your liver is involved in detoxification processes every second of every day. What’s […]
Is Detox a dirty word?
Terrain-Centred Nature-First Naturopathy Recently I felt inspired to review the detox space. Myths and misconceptions around detox abound, detox diets can be done really badly, often leaving you feeling worse than beforehand, be totally ineffective and a complete waste of time and money. On the other hand, if done well, enhancing your body’s in-built detoxification […]
No Cooking Cooked Greens
Sometimes after a marathon cooking session where I’ve cooked for example, a roast or a meat dish, some spuds, pumpkin or ricey dish, a curry for the week ahead and prepared a nutritious dessert/ cake/ sweet slice for lunch boxes and a gluten free loaf I have a greens crisis! This recipe is perfect for […]
More than just a nuisance? It’s a Message!
Terrain-centred Nature-First Naturopathy I don’t know if it’s coincidence or quite why it happens but often in clinic I see a run of patients presenting with the same (or very similar) health concerns. This happened recently and inspired this blog- I’ve been seeing people (usually children) with recurrent pinworm or enterobiasis infestation. So you might […]
