Your Temperature and Your Fertility

Fertility

Your Temperature and Your Fertility There are two main temperature issues with fertility: Being too cold generally.The body not achieving the required temperatures during your cycle to conceive. Being Too Cold Generally In natural medicine you and your uterus must be sufficiently warm to conceive and to nurture new life to birth.  Almost all things in nature grow better when it’s warm. One of the most common problems we see in women who struggle with infertility is that they are just too cold. There are many reasons why women are too cold including eating too much cold food/drink, not wearing appropriately warm clothing (particularly around the mid-drift), living or working in cold conditions or simply being born that way and their body temperatures have never normalised. If you are too cold your...

Stress and Fertility

Stress and Fertility We’re often asked if stress affects fertility. We think so. Blood Flow is Key to Good Health In natural medicine good blood flow is one of the keys to good health. Your blood contains the oxygen, nutrients and hormones that your body and its organs and tissues need to function properly. When your blood flow is strong everything in your body ‘gets fed and watered’ properly so everything has the ‘fuel’ to work as it should. But when your internal blood flow becomes restricted, this is when trouble starts. Just image if I was able to turn off an imaginary tap that fed blood to your arm. Your arm would soon be starved of the oxygen, nutrients and hormones it needed and it would start to malfunction – loss...

If you have trouble losing weight no matter what you seem to try, here's why. Digestive Dysfunction If your digestion isn’t working well you will find it difficult to lose weight.  And you’ll know if it’s not working well if you experience any of bloating, reflux, nausea, constipation, lose bowels or IBS. This is because your body will be producing a lot of inflammation. When your digestion is working well, not only will you more readily lose weight, you’ll usually feel lighter and have more energy. Fat-Controlling Hormone Imbalance You have natural fat-making hormones like cortisol and insulin and natural fat-burning hormones like adrenaline and glucagon. For many people their fat-making hormones are too active and their fat-burning hormones are basically asleep. Wrong Diet There’s no doubt that you need to eat correctly to...

herbs vs drugs

Herbs Vs Drugs

I am often asked what is the difference between taking herbs versus medications. Western Medicine Many of the drugs we take are actually based on plants.  Plants have many different compounds and what pharmaceutical companies do is isolate the active compound (the chemical of the plant that has a particular action in the body) and then produce that compound synthetically. Because the compound is isolated from the rest of the plant (and possibly because it is manufactured), this is the reason why most drugs have side effects. Western medicine focuses on symptom relief, not fixing the root of the problem.  Whilst in most cases you will get some form of relief from symptoms, it also means that as soon as you come off the medication all of the...

Are You Worried About Staying on Medications?

LOTS of people are on medications. Medications generally help to supress symptoms.  But they may do little to address the root cause of your health problem. Come off the medication and the symptom may just come back. Some medications provide the relief required (e.g. for pain, reflux or sinus problems) to enable you to get on with your day productively. They really can be a ‘life saver’ when you get to the point you can no longer function properly. But Should You Stay on Medications for Ever? A lot is known about the short-term side effects of medications.  Large studies are carried out to determine the short-term side effects to get the drug released for sale. Although, this said, how a person will react to a medication comes down to the...

Fatty liver is the build up of excess fat in the liver cells, which can lead to cirrhosis of the liver and more serious health complications. We allocated three stages to fatty liver.  Stage 1 Fatty Liver Stage 1 fatty liver is caused by overeating fatty foods (particularly ‘bad’ fats) or too much carbohydrate (carbohydrate is turned into glucose, glucose is a precursor to triglyceride production in the liver). It is also caused by working too much, not enough rest, too much stress or long periods of staying up a night.  Stage 2 Fatty Liver Stage 2 fatty liver is typically caused by too much alcohol. It is a more severe form of fatty liver. Stage 3 Fatty Liver This is the final stage of a fatty liver as cirrhosis of...
