Did you know that type 2 diabetes can be potentially reversed?
When my patients stick to a strict healthy balanced diet and exercise program I’ve seen them naturally lower their sugar levels to a point where some of them no longer require the need for medication.
As you can imagine this is life changing and you can hopefully do the same too. Just always remember to stay on your medications, unless otherwise instructed by your medical practitioner.
For help and advice on how to do this or if you have any questions, feel free to pop by and see me in clinic.
You are strong, you are beautiful, you are a woman 💃
It’s time to put yourself first and that’s exactly why this whole week is dedicated to women’s health.
Whether you’ve been putting off that smear test or if you want to check if your periods are ‘normal’ or even a simple change of birth control or a cosmetic treatment, now is the time to do so!
Make your health a priority today.
Pop by and see me in clinic if you have any questions or concerns.
Glad to be back at work to see my lovely patients.
How do you start your day?
Before getting to work I make sure I do some exercise in the morning, from a simple jog around the block to gentle weight training followed by brekkie. That way I know I’ve started my day right!
Wishing you all a great week ahead and if you have any concerns please pop by and see me in clinic.
Breast milk is often considered to be the baby’s first vaccine as it’s rich in nutrients that help to fight infections such as pneumonia and help development of the gut.
It is important that if you are breastfeeding that you look after yourself as you’ll need a good amount of energy to keep up your supply. This includes having a good healthy balanced diet with sufficient iron and vitamins that can be found naturally in fruit, vegetables and meat.
Sometimes breastfeeding doesn’t always work out and don’t fear if that’s you. There are alternatives such as donor milk or formula. There different types of formula on the market - Cow’s milk based, formula with added probiotics, gold, thickened and hypoallergenic formula.
Cow’s milk formula is suitable for most babies and it is similar to breast milk, however it is always important to check with your doctor or pharmacist before using.
But of course if you are able to, it is recommended to breastfeed exclusively for the first 6 months of life, you can supplement breast milk with solids for up to 2 years as wished.
If you have any questions or concerns about breastfeeding please pop by and see me in clinic.
