Insulin resistance and metabolic inflammation
Insulin has been talked about a lot lately. Mainly when it comes to trendy diets like keto. “You don’t want to spike your insulin so you better cut out your carbs” I’ve heard it all before. I was personally educated by one of the leading international researchers in ketogenic diets, Jeff Volek. When you are presented with research that has positive outcomes by someone who is a Dr and Professor at a University then it’s important to listen. (Important to note here that his research is centred around athletes rather than general population)
Over the years, I began to notice as this way of eating became popular that many people, mainly women, were actually not getting any healthier...
Your digestive system may need some help
Your overall health begins with your digestive system. If it is working effectively then chances are that you are healthy. If it is experiencing a few difficulties then chances are you are noticing it physically.
Our digestive system is crucial for the breakdown and absorption of the food and drink we consume and its effectiveness is crucial to maintain adequate levels of essential vitamins and minerals. Any problems in this area can lead to a whole host of health problems.
We often think of the obvious when it comes to digestive health imbalances such as:
Two types of food underlying the majority of diseases
Often when we re-evaluate how we are living our lives, there are some moments when we reach a turning point and decide that what we are currently doing is no longer working for us. You know you want to make changes but don't know how. One of the most important changes for health is the food you are putting in your mouth.
To be able to stick to a new way of eating there needs to be motivation. If your motivation comes purely from “I want WEIGHTLOSS” then chances are...
Toxins and Detox
Your body is exposed to toxins on a daily basis both internally (from inside your body) and externally (from outside your body).
Internal toxins may include an imbalance in gut bacteria allowing the bad bacteria to dominate, yeast, viruses, stress, anxiety and even the negative thoughts associated with life can have an effect. External toxins come from the environment we live in.
Some sources of toxins include:

What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a distinct and complete system of health care.
Six foundational principles underpin the practice of naturopathy:
* The healing power of nature,
* First do no harm,
* Find and treat the cause whenever possible, not only the symptoms,
* Treat the whole person,
* Education and Prevention.
These six principles are kept in mind when a I take your case, develop a treatment plan and offer maintenance for long term good health.
Naturopathy is both an art and a science. Naturopaths are prevention medicine specialists. Today we use scientific evidence as well as traditional evidence in practice.
My case-taking through your appointments often uncovers dis-ease long before it has become a diagnosable pathology. I treat both acute and chronic conditions for all ages.
Naturopaths have many answers for common conditions including mental health, gut health, women's health. I use a variety of modalities in my practice. These may include: herbal medicine, nutritional medicine, dietary and lifestyle advice. Testing may also be required.
