Not only do we feel extreme fatigue when we are lo

Not only do we feel extreme fatigue when we are low in iron, but iron deficiency impairs both vitamin A (night blindness), and iodine metabolism too (needed for healthy thyroid; weight, hair thinning, fatigue, dry skin), so it can contribute to other health issues.⁠
⁠
The main food sources of iron are eggs, fish (salmon, sardines, tuna), liver, meat (beef, lamb, veal, pork), and leafy green vegetables.⁠
⁠
The best plant sources of iron are dried fruit (figs, apricots), quinoa, hemp seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, legumes, white potatoes, spinach, kelp, and spirulina.⁠
⁠
Some things that contribute to low iron issues:⁠
⁠
👉️High intake of iron inhibitors⁠
Black tea, coffee, and wine reduce absorption of iron. Phytates (legumes, nuts, grains) also reduce iron absorption. Oxalates impair the absorption of non heme iron. Oxalates are found in foods such as spinach, kale, beets, nuts (/almonds), soy, tea.⁠
⁠
👉️Heavy menstruation⁠
Menstruating women are more likely to run the risk of iron deficiency, particularly women with long cycles or heavy bleeding. ⁠
⁠
👉️Malabsorption conditions⁠
Any type of condition where there is either damage to the intestines or dysfunction in the digestive system can contribute to malabsorption (IBD, IBS, Colitis, Crohn’s Disease, SIBO, coeliac)⁠
⁠
👉️Parasites, pathogenic bacteria in the gut feed off iron (😬)⁠
⁠
Do you have chronically low iron? It's time to find out why and address the issue from the underlying cause 💪 ⁠

Did you know that citrus fruits are histamine libe

Did you know that citrus fruits are histamine liberators? Some foods increase histamine as we consume them, other foods are liberators, meaning they help to release histamine from food. A lot of foods that are high in histamine are really healthy, which makes it even more confusing 🤦‍♀️⁠
⁠
Histamine can cause health issues for some people by giving us annoying symptoms! (see below 👇️) These symptoms are usually worse for people who have underlying gut issues. ⁠
⁠
Symptoms which may be related to histamine excess:⁠
Muscular pain, fibromyalgia⁠
Extreme fatigue, particularly after meals⁠
Nasal congestion, sneezing⁠
Bloating⁠
Stool fluctuations⁠
Hives, skin flushing⁠
Fluid retention⁠
Eczema, psoriasis⁠
PMS, PMDD, anxiety, depression⁠
Headaches/ migraines / dizziness⁠
Nausea⁠
Appetite changes⁠
⁠
We find higher histamine levels in aging foods, fermenting foods, and other high histamine foods such as:⁠
Alcohol and other fermented drinks/ ie kombucha⁠
All citrus fruits — oranges, lemons, lime and grapefruit⁠
Any foods containing artificial colouring or preservatives⁠
Avocado⁠
Berries — fresh, frozen or canned⁠
Chocolate and cacao⁠
Dried fruit⁠
Fermented dairy products, including cheese, yogurt and buttermilk⁠
Fermented foods, such as pickles, relishes, sauerkraut⁠
Leftover meat⁠
Meats that are processed, cured, smoked or fermented⁠
Mushrooms⁠
Pumpkin⁠
Spinach⁠
Spices — including curry powder, cayenne, chili, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg⁠
Tea⁠
Tomatoes — fresh, canned, pureed or in sauces⁠
Bone Broth⁠
⁠
Have symptoms? Try a low histamine diet for a week and see if you notice any improvements. Otherwise, make a time to speak with us and we'll talk you through next steps. ⁠

💥Whether consulting over google meet, zoom, or

💥Whether consulting over google meet, zoom, or in person, our process remains the same. ⁠
⁠
We begin the initial consultation with a comprehensive analysis of your health history. We will ask you further questions about the health questionnaire you completed prior to your appointment, and gather information about underlying factors, your lifestyle, and diet. This gives us clues to what is going on with your health, and we start to put the pieces together like a puzzle. ⁠
⁠
We determine any appropriate diagnostic advanced lab testing that may be required, and devise a treatment protocol that is entirely customised to you.⁠
⁠
We talk through the treatment plan together in the first appointment. You even receive this customised plan in writing after your appointment so that we can stay on track 💪⁠
⁠
So go ahead, what are you waiting for...⁠
Here’s how you book your appointment in 3 simple steps:⁠
⁠
👉️Schedule your initial appointment by clicking BOOK NOW (link in bio / or on website). ⁠
👉️Check your email for your Health Evaluation Questionnaire.⁠
👉️Complete the questionnaire, briefly outlining your health concern (more detail will be established during the consult) and return to us be email before your appointment. ⁠
⁠
Get ready to be back in your best health again💥💥💥⁠

When I was younger I took health for granted, I didn't think about it much at all. It wasn't until I got older that I realised that if I pull all nighters I'm going to feel and look bad the next day, if I fill up on cronuts and coffee all morning I'll feel like I'm 6 months pregnant by midday, if I don't exercise I won't sleep properly, if I eat too many carbs or highly fried foods I'll get a breakout within hours. ⁠
⁠
Now as a naturopath, my non-negotiables are:⁠
Quality sleep (6-8 hours) 😴⁠
Movement every day (weights or walking, crossfit, or running)🏃‍♀️⁠
Sunlight every day (min 15 mins when I have my green tea!) 🍵⁠
Drink filtered water 1.5-2L 🚰⁠
Nutrition (*mostly plant-based, anti-inflammatory, high antioxidant) *okay some days I cheat 🙊😂 ➡️🥐⁠
Talking to my bestie 📱💞⁠
⁠
Your body gives you clues to what it needs for you to feel good. Are you listening? 🎧️⁠
⁠
Happy weekend (!!)⁠
