Men’s Health – Let’s Get Serious

This week is men's health week around the world and maybe timely to get the message out to our husbands, fathers, boyfriends, sons etc that to be sick, anxious, stressed, depressed is ok. Our bodies will get sick and our emotions will sometimes get out of whack, this is normal and it is NOT a sign of weakness. I was saddened but perhaps not shocked to read an article written on men's health by Movember late last year, a group who are trying to change the view and attitudes of men [...]

Beat Stress In Under 2 Minutes

"It's not stress that causes us to fall, it's how we respond to it" Stress is all around and it's something we just have to live with in today's world but the challenge is how we manage it, how we respond to it. Of all the people who go to a Doctor this year almost 80% will have stress as a component of their illness.

Research Shows That Messy Desk Equals Poor Food Choices

Is it possible that poor food choices are connected to a messy desk? In Brisbane right now we are experiencing very humid and hot days up to 43 degrees which makes it hard to function effectively. I often feel lethargic and drained of energy. As a result of this I find that the household and office chores get put on the back burner and I find myself wallowing in more than a bit of mess. Papers and stuff everywhere! I have also noticed that when [...]

Apparently on the advice of a friend she has been using the services of a Hypnotherapist to help calm her nerves both before and during the [...]

I have to say that I tossed up whether to go or not but was thoroughly inspired by Sheila’s energy, passion and willingness to share her knowledge. I am really excited to offer The Virtual Gastric Band Program at Brisbane Natural Health’s clinic in Milton and at MindOverMatter’s clinic in Brookfield. So what is all the hype about the Virtual Gastric Band Program? Well [...]

Depressed Or Stressed – Which One Are You?

Depressed or Stressed? An interesting question, but how many of us actually know the difference? A recent survey in the UK reported that more than 75% of us believe that we suffer from depression and that the number of anti depressants has almost trebled in the last 10 years. In Australia it has been described as an epidemic of modern times and the statistics are quite staggering: 1 in 5 people will experience depression in their lifetime. Over 50% of them will not seek treatment [...]
