Are you in charge?
Whether you’re driving a car or a boat we always need to be aware of our surroundings. The same applies for our health, there are lots of temptations around us that may lead us to make unhealthy choices. Once you can identify these, you can avoid them and progress on your health journey.
What unhealthy choices have you recently navigated away from?

When was your last check up?
This month is breast cancer awareness month. Breast cancer can affect both men and women. Early detection is imperative for better outcomes. It’s therefore very important to regularly self examine and look for any changes, such as skin changes, nipple discharge, lumps or pain to name a few.
If you aren’t up to date with your breast screening then please do make this a priority. Screening save lives.
If you have any concerns or simply want to chat about your own risks, please do pop by in clinic.

It’s the weekend 💃
Congratulations you’ve made it through the week, you might be thinking it’s time to celebrate, let your hair down and have a drink or two?
But wait 🚫 before you grab that glass, did you know that Australian’s are drinking more than they were last year. Long term use of excess alcohol can cause a multitude of health risks, ranging from high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, weakened immune system, memory problems and mental health issues just to name a few.
It is recommended that healthy men and women drink no more than 10 standard drinks a week and no more than 4 in one day.
So maybe switch that glass to a juice instead or perhaps an alcohol free alternative.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
Take care and stay healthy 😘
