Did you know that Jodi is the CEO of @homehopeorg Australia? Here’s a small insight into what we’re researching over on the HOMeHOPe page! • @homehopeorg Did you know that your gut microbiome could influence your personality? 🤯 The gut microbiome continues to amaze us here at HOMe/HOPe, with research finding that specific gut bacteria species may be associated with mood disorders and personality traits. We are well aware about the bidirectional gut-brain axis connection however researchers are now exploring how conditions such as depression and autism appear to be linked to your gut microbiome. For example, studies have found the following : - a correlation between gut microbiome diversity and an individuals sociability and being introverted. - Akkermansia, Lactococcus and Oscillospira bacterial species associated with high sociability, whereas low levels of these species have been identified to be lower in autistic individuals. - the presence of the bacteria species Corynebacterium associated with depression in animal studies These findings do not simply imply that your gut microbiome determines your personality; rather suggestive that there is an influential factor at play that poses some exciting research to come! Take a look at our HOMe/HOPe Gut-Immune module to learn more about out gut microbiome, aka our 'second brain' 🧠.
This weekend.. what will you choose?
Have you ever tried health affirmations? "I am healthy and whole." "My immune system is healing my body." "My health is getting better each day." You can create simple, powerful statements based in the present tense. You can affirm daily, or when you need it. But remember, affirmations are not a replacement for taking good care of your health. They simply create a healing energy in the body, as well as steering the mind away from any worries about your health, towards a more positive mindset. #revitalhealth #affirmation #mindset #naturopathy #healthiswealth #perthhealth #perthnaturopathy
Iridology is the study & analysis of the neuro-optic reflex, which is thought to have the potential to reveal disharmonies in the body ranging from pathological, structural and functional to psychological & emotional. Structural patterns and colours in the iris can indicate inherent strengths & weaknesses of body systems, organs and tissues of the body. Iridology can be used as a tool to determine pathological, structural, functional and emotional disturbances or predispositions. It is not a diagnostic tool; but a method of guiding a practitioner to analyse the patient's health state! Did you know that we do iridology analysis in clinic? Book a consult today via the Revital Health Website to find out more! #iridology #naturopathy #revitalhealth #perthnaturopathy #perthhealth
Compassion • A key Naturopathic virtue Without compassion the healing energy is absent. But you don’t need to be a healer to show compassion. In a world full of hardship but lacking connection; we can all show a little more compassion for others. #revitalhealth #compassion #care #health #feelgood #wellbeing
Never underestimate the power of Vitamin C 🍊 Ascorbic acid is a nutrient your body needs in order to form blood vessels, cartilage, muscles and collagen in bones! It is a powerful antioxidant that protects your body against the effect of free radicals and oxidative stress. 🧬 In a science realm.. Vitamin C is a reducing substance and an electron donor; during free radical scavenging it donates high energy electrons to neutralise free radicals causing oxidative stress in the body! Vitamin C can be found in.. citrus fruits, peppers (red are the highest!), strawberries & blackberries, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, Kakadu plums and.. in the Revital Health compounding dispensary! When vitamins and minerals are identified as absent in the diet; a Naturopaths job is to replenish any missing vitamins or minerals with the use of herbs & supplements. #revitalhealth #nutrition #naturopathy #compounding #vitamins #minerals #vitaminC #ascorbicacid #immune #biochemistry
Happy long weekend, WA! Here is a guide to boosting your happy hormones.. Serotonin: the key hormone that stabilises our mood, feelings of well-being, and happiness. It helps our brain cells and other neurotransmitters to communicate with each other. Serotonin also helps with sleeping, eating, and digestion. Oxytocin: the love hormone! Oxytocin is a hormone and a neurotransmitter that is involved in childbirth and breast-feeding. It is also associated with empathy, trust, sexual activity, and relationship-building. Dopamine is an important chemical messenger in the brain that has many functions. It’s involved in reward, motivation, memory, attention and even regulating body movements. Endorphins act on the opiate receptors in our brains, they reduce pain and boost pleasure, resulting in a feeling of well-being. Endorphins are released in response to pain or stress, but they're also released during other activities, like eating, exercise, or sex. Feel like boosting your happy hormones this weekend? Try some of these simple activities! #revitalhealth #neurotransmitters #hormones #health #feelgood #wellbeing

Short chain fatty acids and the gut-brain connection. Have you read our blog on the benefits of SCFA and how they influence the gut-brain axis? A substantial amount of evidence supports that the gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in the regulation of metabolic, endocrine and immune functions. SCFA’s have the ability to influence brain physiology through the vagus nerve, modulation of the immune system, the HPA axis, neurotransmitter synthesising capabilities and neuroactive properties. Head to the link in our bio to read our blog on short chain fatty acids and their influence on the gut-brain connection. Stay connected whilst we dive into neuroendocrine-immunological connection & function over the next week! #revitalhealth #SCFA #nutrition #gutbrainaxis #naturopathy #microbiota #perthhealth #perthnaturopath
Alpha lipoic acid is a natural sulphur-containing compound that can be synthesised by the body in healthy individuals. It is synthesised in the mitochondria from octanoic acid (caprylic acid) using cysteine as a source of sulfur. The body’s ability to produce adequate amounts of ALA can be reduced during times of prolonged physical stress. Genetic mutations can also impair the synthesis of ALA. Actions of ALA: ✨Mitochondrial energy metabolism ✨Antioxidant ✨Promotes glucose uptake and metabolism ✨Improved endothelial function ✨Anti-inflammatory ✨Neuroprotective ✨Hepatoprotective ✨Anti atherosclerotic AMPK activator ✨Cardioprotective Sources of alpha lipoic acid include spinach, yams, broccoli, potato, yeast, tomatoes, Brussel sprouts and beetroot! #revitalhealth #nutrition #naturopathy #ala

Cacao ceremony with @reverencechocolate ☕️ This afternoon the Revital Health team spent a magical 4 hours in Cottesloe dedicating time and energy to slowing down and drinking some beautiful cacao amongst a group of likeminded individuals.. This amazing meditative experience led us into a deep moment of reflection and exploration of our inner thoughts & feelings. Amongst a busy world; we don’t take enough time to stop and tune in with our body, both physiologically and emotionally. Thank you to Willow and Catherine for such an amazing afternoon.
