This last month has been an amazing month for us at Absolute Body Health. We held our first event. Your Kitchen, The Real Medicine Chest, which was a sell out. Everyone who attended has shared with us how much they enjoyed the night, learnt so much and loved the healthy super food treats that Samantha made for the night. We would also like to thank the companies that donated to our gift bags; Rawsome…

Tuesday night’s event was a hit. I feel that everyone who attended learnt at least one new thing that they did not know about how food can be used as medicine.

Twenty people attended our booked out event and not only learnt about which foods can be used as medicine but also took home some lovely goodies from our sponsors. There was Rawsome Chocolate, Slimbliss Tea, Jacqueline Evans Naturopathic…

Most Australian’s would realise by now (I hope), that a steady diet of cheeseburgers and soft drinks will not lead to a happy and healthy life.

If you are a patient of mine you will have heard me talk a lot about how stress can impact your fertility.…

The summer sun has finally left us and winter is fast approaching. Now is the time to make sure your Vitamin D levels are adequate to see you through the winter months.

Vitamin D deficiency is becoming so common that it is fast becoming a major public health issue in Australia. We obtain the majority of our Vitamin D (80-100%) from skin exposure to sunlight (UVB radiation) and only 10% from…

One of the many treatments I use in clinic is Low level Laser Therapy (LLLT). I am often asked by my patients, “how does it work and what benefits it will provide me?”. So I thought what better topic to write about.

LLLT is the application of red and near infra-red light over injuries or lesions to improve wound and soft tissue healing,…

It seems these days that everyone knows someone (or you yourself) who suffers from hormonal imbalances. Conditions such as PMS, irregular or absent periods, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis and infertility seem to be so common these days, and other symptoms of hormonal imbalances; fluid retention, sore breasts, weight gain, period and back pain! Phew! I’m tired from just having…
