Informed Health

I went to an open day at Informed health on the 1st of December last year. My eyes were opened as I thought I was living a pretty healthy and active lifestyle. Many of the foods I thought were GOOD foods, as we're brought up to believe, are NOT.
I made an appointment to see Fiona that day as I had been for a long time feeling fatigued, suffering from reflux - medication required - and somewhat plagued by "low" moods - despite my healthy lifestyle.
I quickly learnt about food intolerances, the myth of carbohydrates and importance of gut flora health.
To cut a long story short, I saw Rachel over a short period of time and with her great knowledge went on to have the ES TECK body scan, receive dietary guidance and have a full food intolerance test performed. Armed with the knowledge I gained I quickly got my energy back, was feeling overall happier and sharper, gained some weight and lost my "gaunt" and surprise surprise !!!!! no longer needed to take regular medication for the virtually ceased reflux. HOW ABOUT THAT !!!!!!!!

These ladies are brilliant !!! If you've got chronic health issues your GP is not necessarily the last resort - go see the ladies at Informed Health. Take it from me - I know it's true and I thoroughly recommend you do this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is Dr Aseem Malhotra, Cardiologists video about coconut oil. I agree with everything he says, coconut oil and saturated fat are not poison. The text below is a direct copy of Dr Malhotra's post:
"Dear friends,
Lack of scientific integrity either intentional or unintentional causes great harm to public health. That’s why I decided I must speak out against the story based on a Harvard Professor’s claim that ‘coconut oil is pure poison’

Well said Dr Malhotra coconut oil 🥥 is not poison

Medications- It is really important to know how they work so you can make informed decisions for yourself. Insulin and thyroid hormone...

Thursday thoughts with Fiona, meat and saturated fat.....

Study after study confirms that saturated fat is not and has never been the problem. Refined carbohydrates are the biggest worry.
So I wonder, how many studies do we need before the Australian Government and health professionals change their recommendations which demonise saturated fat and encourage refined carbohydrates???
Oh that's right, it's all about sponsorship and politics....silly me for thinking it was about health, what was I thinking??
... Thanks to Dr Aseem Malhotra for sharing this.

The recent ‘coconut oil is poison’ headlines that appeared across multiple media outlets shows just how far behind some ‘experts’ are when it comes to the science of saturated fat...I was going to ignore it because if I responded to every nutrition scare it would be a full time job! Coconut oil is not "pure poison".
It is always amusing when I read these articles and they say that nasty saturated fat is solid at room temperature and therefore will clog your arteries. Do they ...ever bother to compare room temperature to body temperature? Have they been to Australia??
Hmmmm, maybe if they saw my coconut oil in summer they would realise that it is liquid at 36-37 degrees, far from solid!
Then there is the claim that eating saturated fat can raise your ldl cholesterol, that is a whole topic itself but raised ldls are not an issue if you increase the large fluffy lds which is what this kind of fat can do. It is sugar and carbs that raise the bad, heart disease kind of ldl (small dense).
This is an example of we always thought it was bad so lets just keep saying so, using dodgy science to back up our claims...... solid at room temperature.....really....what the..... Fiona
