How to keep vital and healthy over summer is a common discussion in my practise as the weather warms up. Use these tips for summer wellbeing so you stay healthy and can make the most of the coming months!
1. Stay hydrated
As Australians our hydration habits tend to mimic our weather; drought and flood! While this might even out over a week, actually you are putting your body through mini bouts of dehydration all the time.
My client Luisa (not her real name) and I have had great success recently, her health has improved rapidly, and I believe, permanently! So happy with her wellbeing, she suggested I write a blog about what has been ailing her: thrush. I treat a lot of thrush in my practice and think this will be relevant for many women out there.

Most people I speak to about alcohol acknowledge that they want to reduce their consumption and are looking for strategies to help them do so easily. Consuming more alcohol than is right for a person (and I think this varies wildly depending on the person!) can result in low energy, tiredness, “brain fog”, anxiety, depression, and sleep and gut disturbances.

Something I have learned over the years is that some tiredness and fatigue cannot be overcome with vitamins, herbs, adequate sleep, and good eating. If the foundation nutrient iron is not at high enough levels no other intervention can have sustainable effects. I have found this is is true for people of all ages and genders; no amount of sleep, rest, holidays, or taking it easy, replenishes someones energy levels, including when depression or another serious disease is ruled out.
