Transformation and change 🦋 One of the reasons why so many of us find it difficult to break out of karmic patterns is because the perceived safety of the familiar – no matter how disagreeable or toxic – is still stronger than the potentially liberating unknown. But change is all part of the journey. How often do we delight in the beauty of a butterfly but rarely acknowledge the changes It has gone through and endured to achieve that beauty? Invite change. And never stop evolving!
It’s heating up in Perth.. ☀️ As we head out of Spring and into the Summer months.. here is what we would like to highlight about the sun and UV rays: Transitioning from winter into spring and summer may mean suboptimal (low) Vitamin D levels! As we get more UV exposure in the summer months; it is important to remember that.. We need cholesterol in our skins cells to make Vit D from sunlight. The Vitamin D is later transformed again in the liver and kidneys, but cholesterol is needed for the first step! Vitamin D rich foods are also sources from fatty dietary groups such as egg yolk, liver, fatty fish (tuna, mackerel, herring) and cheese! Everybody responds differently to UV exposure. Melanin is the pigment that provides skin color, and individuals with darker skin have more of it than those with lighter skin. Having more melanin reduces your ability to synthesize vitamin D from the sun, resulting in lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels. Getting just the right dose of Vitamin D from UV exposure (aka time spent in the sun) is different for each individual; and you should consult with your allied health professionals to ensure you are getting the optimal dose! Try a zinc-based sunscreen this summer.  They offer broad spectrum protection against UVB and UVA rays—similar to what you would get in a chemical sunscreen—without the harmful ingredients!

It's October.. the month where pumpkins become celebrated! Pumpkin has a range of fantastic benefits, including being one of the best-known sources of beta carotene. Beta carotene is a powerful antioxidant that gives orange vegetables and fruits their vibrant colour. The body converts any ingested beta carotene into vitamin A.. Consuming foods with high volumes of beta carotene may have the following benefits: Offering protection against asthma and heart disease Assisting in immune cell functioning (increasing number of NK cells, decreasing T suppressor activity, improving activation of macrophages & lymphocytes) Decreasing the risk of age-related macular degeneration Assisting in protection of mouth, nose, throat and lung mucous membrane protection! #revitalhealth #naturopathy #wellbeing #health #wellness #mindfulness #healthy #perth #perthhealth #perthnaturopathy #perthnutrition #perthwellness #perthisok #healthoptimisation #pumpkin #betacarotene #carotenoids
Iron.. 🥩 ✅ Fact: It is present in both plant and animal foods (almonds, apricots, avocado, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, wheat germ, red meat, seafood and poultry ❌ Fiction: Both heme (animal based) and non-heme (plant based) forms of iron are equally absorbable. Non-heme iron is bound to food components which must be hydrolysed by hydrochloric acid and proteases.. and is in the Fe3+ (Ferric Iron) form and needs to be converted to the Fe2+ (Ferrous Iron) form prior to absorption. ✅ Fact: The best time of the day for enhanced Iron absorption is in the morning.. Hepcidin is a key regulator of the entry of iron into the circulation in mammals. Hepcidin has it's own diurnal circadian rhythm! Whereby doses of iron are best administered in the morning. ❌ Fiction: Iron is easily absorbed. NO! Iron needs an optimal environment for absorption and there are many influences as to why iron may have difficulty getting into the cell.. Nutrients such as calcium, copper, magnesium oxide, manganese, zinc, cadmium, cobalt and phytates can reduce iron absorption. The gut microbiome is essential for effective iron absorption. #revitalhealth #naturopathy #wellbeing #health #wellness #mindfulness #healthy #perth #perthhealth #perthnaturopathy #perthnutrition #perthwellness #perthisok #healthoptimisation #positivemind #iron #heme #nonheme #phytates #hepcidin

Have you heard of the tooth-body system & organ connection? 🦷 Meridians in our body connect particular body systems & and organs (or tissues) to the teeth of our maxillary and mandibular jaw. There is more to oral health other than brushing and flossing. In a holistic assessment of a patient; Naturopaths utilise signs and symptoms of each body system and brainstorm the way in which these health ailments may be connected. We can use the tooth-body system connection to identify potential organ weakness within the body that goes beyond the oral cavity. Assessing the overall health and wellness of the oral cavity is important; our body is an amazing system of inter-connected health! #revitalhealth #holisticdentistry #dentist #oralmicrobiome #teeth #healthyteeth #nutrients #vitamins #minerals #nutrition #naturopathy #gums #perth #perthdental #perthnaturapathy #functionalmedicine
Dietary histamines! Food sensitivity & reactivity can be difficult to pinpoint.. but there are some common themes that Naturopaths look for when it comes to food-symptom correlations Dietary amines such as histamine occur naturally in certain foods and come from protein breakdown. Levels increase in protein foods (meats, fish, cheese) as they age or ‘mature’, and in fruits as they ripen (e.g. bananas, tomato, avocado, pawpaw, olives), ensure that fruits and vegetables are as fresh as possible. High levels are likely to be present in sauces, fruit juices, chocolate, flavoured spreads, nut and seed pastes, jams, and in fermented products (e.g. beer, wines, yeast extracts). Remember.. It is ALWAYS important to consult with an allied health professional to discuss any dietary changes or correlations you may associate with symptoms! #revitalhealth #naturopathy #wellbeing #health #wellness #mindfulness #healthy #perth #perthhealth #perthnaturopathy #perthnutrition #perthwellness #perthisok #healthoptimisation #histamine #histamineintolerance
