HEY, LETS CHAT ABOUT SUPPLEMENTS!

👉 Are they worth it? In my professional opinion; yes, absolutely. Many factors in our modern lives leave us depleted or needing an extra boost, whether our food is grown in nutrient-depleted soil, we have increased stress, illness or injury or simply wanting to live the ultimate long, healthy and happy life. But there's more to it than that. Keep reading to learn more....

👉 Do they work? Yes, at least if you source the right ones (more on that soon!) and if you take them the right way; when and how. Two quick examples, some supplements are 'fat soluble' and need to be taken with a source of fat (eg vitamin D, COQ10), and some minerals will compete with each other for absorption if you take them at the same time. Some nutrients will show rapid results, while some may be slower to show the signs, especially if there is deep repair work to be done in the body.

👉 Do I need them? Referring back to Q1, are you looking for relief for an illness or injury? Are you feeling stressed, fatigued, have skin issues or struggle to sleep? If the answer is yes, its very likely that supplements will fasttrack your results and in some cases I consider it cruicial for recovery. For some people, supplements may interfere with medication so this always needs to be considered before taking a new supplement.

👉 Which ones are best? I'll be honest, I generally don't recommend "all in one multi" supplements. Our bodies are more complex than that and the ingredients in these products can sometimes be... a bit rubbish. Yea, I said it. Your best option is to see a Nutritionist or a Naturopath to work out exactly what you need. And did you know, qualified practitioners also have access to far more effective products than what you find in the supermarket? This is particularly vital when buying supplements such as B vitamins and Omega-3's. The wrong products may cause you more harm than good.

🤓 I'd love to know, what do you think of supplements? Do you take them? Have you had good results? Or do you need some extra advice and direction to get you on a good regimee?

You don't need to keep suffering in the dark. I can help you to make sense of your health and choose the right tests to get to the bottom of your symptoms.

At the Full Health clinic you can take tests for hormones, allergies & intolerances, heavy metals, nutrient levels, inflammation and heaps more.

With the results, I'll help you put a plan in place to get you on the right path with all the advice and support you need for diet, supplements and lifestyle. There is no 'one size fits all' so all plans are made to suit YOU.

Today I realised that my favourite 'so called natural' toothpaste, Red Seal, contains Sodium Lauryl Sulphate; which is a known irritant! Not impressed, Red Seal.

If you're like me and have easily irritated skin I recommend checking the ingredients lists on your cosmetics and avoid using products that contain sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulphate (SLES). It is commonly found in soap, shampoo, toothpaste - anything that foams.

Eco Store have cleverly put together this great list of common cosmetic ingredients and whether they are considered 'approved' or 'nasty', and why.

Now I use Ecostore toothpaste.

Don't worry, not sponsored, just real life. I'm not that famous! 😛

*UPDATE* I see that red seal DO have an SLS-free range on their website, so if you stick with red seal I recommend looking for this option ✨

Yesterday I had the pleasure of hosting a workshop with Francesca of Francesca Eldridge Health to 30 staff members at WITT - Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki.
*
Over two hours we talked about:
💥 Eating fat, fibre and protein for stable energy & mood throughout the day
💥 How to make a nourishing and fulfilling smoothie
💥 The meaning of holistic wellbeing
💥 Digestions and gut health - what, whys and hows of keeping it healthy.
*
It was heaps of fun. The staff at WITT were fantastic and we had lots of meaningful conversations about health challenges, different approaches to eating, and of course, P**P! 😆
I'm so grateful for opportunities like this, thank you so much to WITT for having us and for offering this support to your staff, they loved it! And to Francesca for being an awesome workshop companion; I learn new stuff from you all the time, I loved that colesterol discussion! 🤗 🤩
