So I came back for week 2 🤣clinic days are full of anxiety for me at the moment, as you can clearly see, I’m not feeling entirely chilled about things today… I’m just hoping for a little more practice and a little more confidence… while taking all the herbs available to keep my thyroid and adrenal glands in check while I navigate my first trimester of clinic

08/06/2023

After being strapped to a desk for what feels like eternity, learning the ins and outs of herbs, pathophys, nutrition and lots and lots of other stuff in-between… I will now be a weekly regular here at the student clinic for Torrens University in Fitzroy… I can’t say there weren’t a few sleepless nights or a few tears shed today… it has been a crazy ride in my Naturopathy training so far, and things are about to get much much hotter!!

01/11/2022

Another trimester… another mindmap… meet “James”… I’m getting to the bottom of his psoriasis… now just to link the big red blobs to something… and then all the other stuff to all the pathophys… then I can decide on some herbs to treat him with. Simples 😵‍💫🤯

It has certainly been a crazy few weeks in the life of Kate.
At a recent Uni assessment day, dutifully practicing blood pressures on fellow students, it brought to light my BP… it started at 150/88, the more worried I got, the closer to the final assessment, the higher and higher it climbed to 160/98… yeah… f**k!

So I thought I’d give it a couple of weeks of no assessments and see what it does… off to mums I went… 150/101… bu**er!
Appointment at the docs, a reading of 116/92… untreatable, as medication will drop both numbers… not what we want… a load of blood and urine tests and an ECG followed…

Follow up with my GP, Vit D is low, and WCC slightly elevated, but nothing to be concerned about, lose some weight though… job done…

Loaded with my path results I booked in to see a naturopath… “How are you feeling? Like I’m just holding everything together with sticky tape” “How are you emotionally? I have nothing” “I feel like my BP… when I am supposed to be working, I have nothing, no energy, no focus, no drive; when I’m trying to rest I can’t stop” “ I don’t feel unwell, but I certainly don’t feel well” 45 minutes of questions, covering all facets of my life, do you notice your hair falls out? Do you feel the cold? Like all the questions…

Turns out, while “normal” my thyroid is shot… abnormal is 4.1… I’m sitting at 3.95… this is causing adrenal fatigue, which is causing my BP to rise… we treat the thyroid, we support the adrenal glands, we drop the BP…

This, my beautiful friends, is why I’m studying Naturopathy. I love modern medicine, I am a registered Nurse, but there is something missing… so many times I hear “I’m so tired” “I just don’t feel like myself” “I’m waking up at 3-4am most nights and can’t get back to sleep” blood tests won’t show an abnormality, and GP’s wait for the abnormality to arise before action is taken. That’s how it works, but healthcare can be better.

I now have a treatment plan, it’s simple and clear. Be kind to yourself, let’s support you through the next few weeks at Uni and get you to the holidays where we can do more.

So kids!! You’re coming along for the ride!!

Uni certainly knows how to slam you on all fronts!!
I have just completed the most intense two weeks in my 2yr journey (so far) learning all things Naturopathy!!
1 x case study ✅
1 x Herbal Therapeutics quiz ✅
1 x Herbal Pharmacology quiz ✅
1 x Report on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of herb-drug interactions SJW v Statins and Garlic v warfarin ✅
1 x weekend intensive practical examination for clinical assessment ✅
1 x made up a new name for a carpal tunnel assessment ✅

Those two weeks totally kicked my arse!! Today, I got to take my 🐶‘s on a decadent 1 hour walk while listening to an amazing podcast on women’s hormonal health (beyond fertility… my favourite subject!) I’ve had a nap on the couch (submitting assessments at 3am will do that to you) and now I’m catching up on the lecture I slept through 🤣🤣

27/06/2022

Kicking into gear and getting ready for my weekend intensive practical exam next week! Whoop whoop! Getting ready to hit the clinic and start treating some peeps!!

Honestly though have you ever seen a sexier stethoscope 💕💕💕
