Ever walked into a chemist and felt overwhelmed by all of the different medicines and vitamins? This week is all about being Medicine Wise. 💊
Whether you’re taking prescribed medication or over the counter supplements it’s time to question what they are for, how you are taking them and what potential side effects they have. If medicines are not used correctly, serious issues can occur. Each year 230,000 Australians are hospitalised with problems by their medicines. It is vital that your medications are reviewed regularly by your doctor to ensure they are still needed.
So next time your getting a script make sure you’ve got all your information. If you have any concerns or questions please pop by and see me in clinic.
Take care and stay healthy 😘

We live in a world where we are constantly being told of things we need, for example a brand new phone, a shiny car or that new line of make up.
If we spend too much time fixating on this we can often get into a negative spiral, taking our focus and energy away from where it should be.
So how about refocusing on what’s best for you and not the advertisers. You can start by thinking of 1 goal that you want to achieve today and one that you want to avoid. This will help align yourself on what’s good for you and what’s bad for you.
For me, I’d like to talk a walk along the beach and avoid take-away. What are your goals for today?
Today I am prescribing you all a healthy dose of positive energy.
If you’re faced with a mountain of work, break it down into smaller manageable sections and give yourself an allocated time for each part. If you’re in the midst of a dark cloud celebrate how far you’ve come and how much you’ll achieve once you’re on the other side. If you’re feeling like you need another weekend already, the next one is just around the corner.
When we surround ourselves with positive energy our negative thoughts fade away and what we thought we couldn’t achieve becomes achievable.
