Winter is here and so is the cold and flu season! 🤧

I have chosen some of my top cough, cold, sinus, and flu practitioner strength remedies for you.

Please email me to add any of the following onto your Natural Chemist prescription list for you to access.

Note: if you are unsure about medication interactions or what would best suit yourself or your family please book a short acute consult and we will set you up for winter wellness.

1. Designs for Health Tri-Zinc Supreme - Tri-Zinc Supreme is a unique formula containing three different types of highly bioavailable zinc to support the health and function of the immune system. Take after food one for maintenance or twice daily for anti-viral treatment.

2. BioMedica C-caps - an easy to take capsule containing vitamin C, bioflavonoids, vitamin E, and beta-carotene

3. Orthoplex ImmunoForte tablets - ImmunoForte combines traditionally used herbs for relieving common cold and flu symptoms, including fever reduction. Helps to relieve nasal congestion, and to clear respiratory mucous and relieve coughs. Adults only.

4. BioMedica Imrex - acute or chronic immune support. Combines medicinal mushrooms with antioxidant herbs and immune nutrients including green tea, turmeric, zinc, vitamin A, D, E, and selenium. Take two capsules for prevention or up to six capsules daily for acute treatment.

A tray-bake or sheet-pan dinner is an easy way to eat healthy when you are busy!

Simply chop your vegetables, toss with olive oil and seasonings and spread on an oven safe tray.

Top with protein of your choice - individual portions are needed here (think sausages, chicken drumsticks, lamb chops etc)

Cook in a moderate oven until done.

You can then add sauces, condiments or green leafy vegetables. Try a dollop of pesto or hummus!

Do you cook tray bakes? What is your favourite combo?

🧠 Dementia is NOT a normal part of ageing.

There is so much we can do to influence brain health and change the trajectory of cognitive decline.

In Australia, more than 421,000 people are currently living with dementia, and this number is expected to rise to 1.1 million by 2058 if preventative and health-changing interventions are not implemented.

We now understand that many contributing factors are involved in cognitive decline, including:

• Toxin exposure
• Poor vascular health and reduced blood flow to the brain
• Chronic inflammation
• Blood sugar dysregulation
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Gut health imbalances

I have undertaken studies in this area of specialty, so please get in touch to find out more.

🦠🧬Introducing TOXDetect: Environmental Chemicals Testing!

🤧 In between consults, if any acute immune challenges arise, did you know that I do short acute treatment consultations?

These are always via Phone, Zoom, or Face Time and solely focus on treating the acute infection to get you better quicker! Examples include coughs, colds, flus, urinary infections, ear infections, sinus infections, and more!

If there isn't an appointment space available quick enough on the booking page, please text or email and I will find a time to help asap.

Or book a short consult for me to help recommend immune products for your family's winter first aid kit to be prepared for any first signs of colds and flus.

🦪 Are you getting enough ZINC in your diet?

Here are some foods that are high in zinc. Can you incorporate more into your diet?

Sprinkling your yoghurt or salads with some nuts and seeds is an easy way to introduce more zinc to your meals.

Q. What are the signs of a zinc deficiency?

A. When zinc is low, the body often gives subtle clues like:

• Small white spots on the nails (not large cloudy patches)

• Reduced taste or smell

• Frequent infections

• Slow wound healing

• Hair thinning or shedding

• Metallic taste in the mouth

• Low appetite

Zinc deficiency is surprisingly common, especially if digestion isn’t optimal, stress is high, or dietary intake is low, such as with a vegetarian diet.

If you suspect a deficiency, get in touch for an appointment and we can explore it further for you!
