Allergy • Intolerance • Sensitivity.. What’s the difference? Chances are that you or someone you know has experienced unpleasant symptoms after a meal or snack. Maybe you experienced some degree of sneezing, wheezing, rashes, brain fog, joint pain, nausea, bloating, diarrhea, or another symptom. This may have led you to believe you have a food allergy — and maybe you do. But it’s also possible that you have a food intolerance, coeliac disease, or a food sensitivity! It is important to differentiate between the three in order to understand how to navigate appropriate treatment. Working alongside a Naturopath can assist in identifying these trigger foods; and assist you on your way in treatment 🥜 #revitalhealth #naturopathy #wellbeing #health #wellness #mindfulness #healthy #perth #perthhealth #perthnaturopathy #perthnutrition #perthwellness #perthisok #healthoptimisation #bodylove #selflove #selfcare #positivemind #mindbodylove #foodintolerance #foodallergy #foodsensitivity
Talk to your body You wouldn't talk to your friends the way you talk to your body, would you? Stop yourself from a) complaining about your body and b) being critical of certain parts of your body. Be your friend, accept your body and talk to your body with respect and gratitude for what it does and allows you to do! #revitalhealth #naturopathy #wellbeing #health #wellness #mindfulness #healthy #perth #perthhealth #perthnaturopathy #perthnutrition #perthwellness #perthisok #healthoptimisation #bodylove #selflove #selfcare #positivemind #mindbodylove

Repost • @homehopeorg Flavanols are naturally occurring phytonutrients often found in deeply coloured fruits and vegetables as well as 🍫cocoa, 🍷 wine and ☕️ tea. Yes you heard me, that includes chocolate! The benefits of consuming flavanols extend to the cellular and systemic level, positively affecting enzymatic activity, cellular signalling, and nitric oxide levels. In fact, consuming high quality cocoa has even been linked with an increase in brain oxygenation, improving cognitive function and preventing neurodegenerative decline. The key factor here is the quality of the flavanol content and epicatechin quantities; when compared with a processed cocoa, the high quality flavanol rich cocoa proved to have noticeable changes to cerebral blood flow upon observation with non-invasive near-infrared spectroscopy in healthy subjects. So, what do we learn from this research? When consuming flavanol rich foods and drinks, quality is of utmost importance! Unfortunately to get the beneficial level of flavonoids from your organic dark chocolate is tough, so opting for an unprocessed, organic cocoa powder is preferred! And let’s not forget to consume our other flavanol rich foods such as grapes, tea, red wine, berries, and pulses.

What is Red Light Therapy? Red light therapy works its magic by delivering safe, concentrated wavelengths of natural light to the skin and cells. This process doesn't utilise any chemicals or heat. This light typically ranges from 620nm to around 1000nm in length! Red light has a greater penetration depth compared to other forms of light, such as UV, blue, green or the longer infrared wavelengths. These non-red wavelengths cannot reach as deep and affect the underlying tissue in the way that red light does! 🛑💡 The mitochondria of cells absorb the red and near infrared photons, which enhances cell signalling, reduces oxidative stress, and increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. ATP is a crucial molecule required by all living things to make usable energy for your body. Did you know that we have red light therapy available in the clinic? Head over to the Revital Health website to book a session.. link in bio! #revitalhealth #naturopathy #wellbeing #health #wellness #mindfulness #healthy #perth #perthhealth #perthnaturopathy #perthnutrition #perthwellness #perthisok #perthredlight #healthoptimisation #redlighttherapy #infrared
Herbal energetics.. Explaining how plants & medicinal herbs interact with the body's constitution and tissue state. Herbal energetics are based off the four primary Elements (Earth, Wind, Air and Fire), and the knowledge of the energetic properties of herbs has been a part of healing practices worldwide for centuries! Below is a very simple breakdown of the energetic qualities to give you an idea of the role each one plays in the body.  Temperature (metabolism) * hot/warming = irritation * cold/cooling = depression * Moisture (fluids in tissues - water and fats) * damp =  stagnation * dry  = atrophy (weakening) * Tone/Tonic (state of the tension the tissues are in) * tense = constriction * relaxed = relaxation For instance, pepper/capsicum is warming and stimulating, increasing the circulation of the blood. Lavender is cooling and stops a headache by cooling the hot blood to the head. Nettle is cooling, drying and tonic indicated for tissues that are hot and inflamed and swollen with fluids. Often times a herb can have more than one energetic profile! Energetic dosing is of equal importance as therapeutic dosing. Oh the power of herbs! #revitalhealth #naturopathy #wellbeing #health #wellness #mindfulness #healthy #perth #perthhealth #perthnaturopathy #perthnutrition #perthwellness #perthisok #perthpathology
The Naturopathic tool kit 🔧 Health is multi factorial.. Our overall ‘health status’ is influenced by: * Environmental * Mentality * Lifestyle (diet, exercise, occupation, friends & family) * Emotions Naturopaths take into consideration that overall health and wellbeing is influenced by each of these factors. We also have the ability to understand how each arm of health can influence and interact with another. For example, the way in which toxins in your environment may be influencing physiological symptoms. Or how diet can influence mental & emotional health based on nutrients and resulting neurotransmitters.. The Naturopathic tool kit is valuable and broad! But can also dive deep into specific ailments and the way in which they should be treated or managed. Keen to find out more? Head to the Revital Health website to book in for a Naturopathic Medicine consult! #revitalhealth #naturopathy #wellbeing #health #wellness #mindfulness #healthy #perth #perthhealth #perthnaturopathy #perthnutrition #perthwellness #perthisok #perthpathology

Did you know that we have a wide range of in-clinic testing options available?  Physical assessments allow the practitioner to gain a deeper understanding of internal pathological processes that may be contributing to your presenting complaint or symptoms! Physical assessments (such as tongue, nail, HbA1c, blood pressure & respiratory rate) only touch the surface of how deep we can dive into pathology. When it comes to pathological analysis and finding the evidence to drive our treatment plans; it all starts in the clinic!

The Traffic in Your Mind When there’s too much traffic in your mind, try the following steps to clear the traffic jam: 1) Slow down your thoughts. 2) Steer unnecessary thoughts off the road, out of the mind. 3) Park aside important thoughts and come back to them later. 4) Redirect negative thoughts to positive ones. 5) Stop for a moment, breathe and be. #revitalhealth #naturopathy #wellbeing #health #wellness #mindfulness #healthythoughts #healthymind #perth #perthhealth #perthnaturopathy #perthnutrition #perthwellness #positivethoughts
“The people who believe plants can talk” The BBC published an article earlier this month discussing a two-year experiment conducted by Laura Beloff; an artist and professor at Aalto University in Finland. Beloff connected a contact microphone to the roots of a plant specimen and detected faint, high pitched clicks in the soil; which appeared to stop/pause once a human visitor entered the room. The plant then resumed its chattering once the visitor left the room. Amazing! Beloff gained the idea after reading about literature published by Monica Gagliano from the University of Western Australia. In a 2017 study, Gagliano and colleagues showed that plants appear to be able to sense the sound of water vibrating via their roots, which may help them to locate it underground! Want to know more?
