The best thing we can do for our health is to keep learning.
I still hear people saying some of these 'myths' in the article and there is so much evidence out their which completely debunks them!
Hopefully you learn a thing or two from reading this and make the small change in your diet to help improve your health!! 😄

How does pain work?

How do you study/learn? 📖
I definitely find it easier learning from a book or sheet of paper rather than a screen 💻Our brains are not yet developed to read information and be exposed to blue light from a screen at the same time 🧠
Even though screens make things much more accessible and can be more cost effective it does come at a cost.

Do you or someone you know have children who are fussy eaters?
Hands-on sensory based food education sessions are a great way to get kids to become more accustomed to different foods. These sessions get kids to smell. touch and taste foods to make it fun and interesting :)

Make sure you enter our competition!
There is another 2 weeks until we draw the winner so you have plenty of time!
For details ask us when you come in for your next appointment or message us :)

Now that it is getting warmer smoothies are back on the menu!!! Although I love smoothies so much that I still had them over winter!
One of my favourite smoothies is a berry based smoothie! I really love this recipe for 2 reasons. 1 - the addition of tahini is amazing! 2- Using zucchini instead of banana makes it more low carb (however feel free to use banana if you would like - it tastes amazing!)
What is your favourite smoothie recipe?

I have heard this lesson many times but it is still so relevant to most people!
Definitely worth a watch

Last night Eva and Alana headed off to the AIS for the Dr Libby "The hormone factor" seminar 👩‍💼
We learnt so much in regards to womens homrones and how they not only work but how things in our daily life affect them! So many women are affected by hormonal imbalances and this then has such broad affects on our overall health.
Some of the take home lessons we learnt were: ... 🔸 Stress has a huge affect on our sex hormones 🔸 The liver is the main organ which detoxifies our hormones. Therefore we should be doing things to help our liver such as eating lots of veggies and drinking plenty of water. 🔸 Anytime you consume caffeine you are stimulating the release of adrenaline. Maybe it's time to do a caffeine detox? 🔸 Many women are either estrogen dominant or progesterone deficient 🔸 The average Australian does NOT get their recommended 5 serves of vegetables daily 🔸 Hormones are crucial for the overall functioning of our body!!
If you think your hormones are affecting your health check out Dr Libbys website and have a chat to us next time you are in the clinic :)

This is the case for so many people!!
Sitting for long periods of time have huge effects on many aspects of our health!
Chiropractic helps to counteract some of these effects by getting your joints moving and showing you proper exercises to do 😊

Dr Eva and Dr Alana as well as a few of our lovely practice members are taking part in Steptember!
Steptember is all about raising awareness and funds for cerebral palsy. These funds will go towards providing vital equipment, therapy and services to children and adults with cerbral palsy as well as going into research around this condition.
The average office worker takes 3,000 steps a day and as part of Steptember we have committed to taking 10,000 steps a day for 28 days!...

I am sure you have heard of the term leaky gut but did you know your immune system can affect this and vice versa.
Here is a short simple article explaining a bit about the connection between your immune system and your gut.
