There are so many caring and well intentioned health professionals out there. But sadly they are caught within a system that is not setup to keep you healthy. Pills are designed to give relief from symptoms, they don’t address the root cause of health challenges. When you realise that your body is actually designed to heal and that you can empower that healing process, it’s a game changer. The best investment you can make is to learn about your body and make positive, proactive changes to what you eat and how you move.

So often we pray for miracles and healing when He’s already given us the answers. God created us and gave us all we need to be healthy and to thrive. Think about the Garden of Eden, think about what Jesus ate and how active He was! Sadly in a fallen world so much of what God created has been interfered with and has become toxic to us. If you’re abusing your body by eating packaged food and sitting all day are you honoring Him? #faith #motivation #health #healing #healthylifestyle

Nourishing food = a flourishing mind Just one week on a junk food diet and your memory and cognition starts to decline 🤯 Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), is a vital molecule for the growth and well-being of brain cells. When we overindulge in junk food, it disrupts the delicate chemical balance within our brain. In particular, it negatively affects the production of BDNF in the hippocampus. BDNF serves as a guardian, nurturing the growth, development, and survival of our brain cells. The consumption of junk food leads to a reduction in BDNF production, weakening the hippocampus. As a result, the brain’s capacity to create new memories and regulate emotions is compromised. This negative impact on the hippocampus and decreased BDNF levels can contribute to the onset of mental disorders. Conditions like depression, anxiety, Alzheimer’s and other behavioural issues can start to emerge. The best way to keep your brain healthy is to ditched the processed junk food and focus on a diet or real food that is nutrient-dense 🥦🥩🥑 It will nourish your brain and your mental wellbeing.

Unfortunately the academic and scientific research worlds are not impartial 🤯 Research is expensive and the source of the funding can heavily influence the outcome of the study. Food companies pay for studies by ‘expert nutritionists’. It’s a conflict of interest that is not often publicised🤫 We watch a grab from a news story that promotes processed food as healthy, completely unaware that the ‘expert’ interviewed has been paid to promote these claims🤑 These are the political tactics that big corporations will use to drive more sales. They don’t care about your health or your kids health. The best thing you can do is get to know how your body works and how to keep it healthy and role model it for your kids🥑🏋️‍♀️ Then carefully select your support crew of coaches and practitioners willing to work with you and listen to you to achieve your health goals.

We were taught as kids that fluoride was in our tap water to keep our teeth healthy. My Mum told me the reason she had such terrible teeth was because there was no fluoride in the water when she grew up. Studies today continue to reveal that the chemicals added to tap water are toxic. And the compounding effect of drinking them is harming your health. Make sure you filter your tap water. Knowledge is empowering. Do your own research. Video @garybrecka #health #water #fluoride #toxic #healthyliving

Microplastics have made their way into everyday items and we don’t even realise it 😳 Things like paper cups, tea bags, water bottles. And we’re yet to really understand the impact on our health. If you want to avoid these toxins, fill your own water bottles, make your tea in a teapot like your grandma did and take your own ceramic, glass or stainless steel reusable cup when you get your coffee.

Having walked alongside family who have had cancer, it struck me how few alternatives are suggested or discussed by their treating doctors. I’ve heard countless testimonials like this about alternative treatments that have been effective. Apricot kernels, CBD oil, redox molecules, and Turkey tail mushrooms to name just a few. I’d never recommend any specific treatment to anyone, every situation and every person is different. But so often the only options given to people is radiation and/or chemotherapy. It’s worth doing your own research. Video Paul Stamets, TEDMED 2011 #health #cancer #healing #mushrooms #naturalhealing

There are so many different ways to approach diet and it can be so confusing. We’ve been on the journey through so many over the years, Atkins paleo, keto we’ve even looked into vegan and carnivore! The reality is unless you are willing to invest in testing to know what fuels your unique body the best it’s a guessing game based on feeling. If you want a simple approach, just eliminate anything packaged, or fried. Just eat real food. If you’re proactive and interested in optimising your health then seek out a functional health practitioner who can assist you with genetic testing. It’ll take the guess work out of what to eat and what supplements to take. Video @theminimalists episode 398 with @zachbushmd #diet #food #health #healthyliving

Fried food is NOT real food ❌ And its effect on your health is potentially more dangerous than smoking. Back in the 1970s the Australian government waged war against the tobacco industry and started mandating warnings on cigarette packaging and restrictions on advertising because of health risks. Yet in spite of the known health risks, marketing and distribution of fried food continues unregulated 🤷‍♀️ Even to our kids 😳 If you wouldn’t let your kids smoke, don’t let them eat fried food!

Talk about holding the mirror up! 🤣🤣 Can anyone else relate?

Most doctors are caring and well intentioned but the education system that trains them doesn’t focus on root cause. The treatment model is disease identification ➡️prescription. So as healthcare consumers what can we do? Take responsibility. This means asking questions, doing your own research, asking more questions, seeking second, third, fourth opinions. And probably most importantly, take responsibility for your own healing with your daily diet and lifestyle choices. 🍴Eat real food, not processed food ☀️Get outside and move everyday 🙏🏻Slow down, breathe, pray, meditate 😴Get good sleep 🤝Cultivate meaningful relationships and connection When you change your perspective and you see your health as your responsibility it will do more for you than any single doctor or medication.

Stories like these are only becoming more common. No-one is more invested in your health than you🤯 There is a health revolution happening and it starts by taking full responsibility for your own health💯 Get curious about how your body works and then commit to doing the right things everyday that will heal it and keep it healthy🥑🏋️‍♀️ Select your support crew. Shop around for a practitioner who has a functional/lifestyle approach to health and healing. They need to be willing to work with you and listen to you to help you achieve your health goals, not just write a prescription. If you’re at the start of the journey and you can see that the system is keeping you sick and you want to transform your health, here’s 3 things you can do today: 🚫Clear out your pantry and bin anything packaged. 🥕Eat only real food and stop eating take away. 👩‍🍳Embrace the process of preparing nutritious meals by starting with simple basic recipes. The future of healthcare is personalisation and empowerment⚡️ Video @mikhailapeterson on Piers Morgan Uncensored #health #future #healthyliving

We have more control over our health than we realise. Your body is an amazing system that self regulates and self heals when you give it what it needs to maintain health. When we don’t understand and appreciate our bodies and we constantly fill them with processed foods that disrupt the natural system, disease is the result 🦠 Knowing your body is like knowing your car and 🚘Do you know what fuel it takes? Would you put diesel fuel in a petrol/gasoline car?🤷‍♀️ The difference is you can’t trade in your body when you wear it out. You only get one body to do this life with 🤔 Video: The Secret of Sugar, CBC news #health #food #diet #diabetes #alzehimers #healthyliving

Your cells are the basic building blocks of every tissue, organ and muscle in your body. Every illness or disease starts with just one sick cell. Understanding this was a major revelation in my health journey. Autophagy is our body’s natural healing process in which these “zombie cells” are repaired or replaced. So by making intentional choices about what you put into your body and when you can either empower or disable this incredible healing process.

The human body is an incredible self healing system. All we need to do is give it what it needs to maintain health! Staying up late scrolling on screens has been shown to trigger depression 🤳 Whilst getting up and moving your body has been shown to work like an antidepressant🏃‍♀️ This world will drag you down if you let it😔 But your daily habits have a huge impact on your mental and overall health. So set a routine that gives you space to move your body, get outside in the sunlight, get good sleep and make sure you fuel your machine with quality real food bike🚴‍♀️☀️😴🥗 Knowledge is empowering Video: Dr Kelly McGonigal on The Model Health Show Podcast #depression #mentalhealth #hope #healing #healthyliving

It’s easy to eat well when you realise what’s in your food and how bad it is for you🤯 If you want to be healthy you need to take full responsibility💯 If you don’t know what’s in your food or what an ingredient is, don’t eat it!🤐 Learn about how your body works and how you can support heal and be healthy.

They knew it over 50 years ago and it was bad then. Fast forward to today and rates of chronic illness like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimers and Parkinsons continue on an alarming trajectory😱 How did we get it so wrong?🤷‍♀️ It kinda haunts me, but we can’t change the past so what can we do about it? If you suffer from a chronic illness it can be reversed with a commitment to diet and lifestyle change. 🛑Stop eating processed food and feeding it to your family, resist the lies of the marketing campaigns. Consume food as close to its original natural state as possible. If you’re confused about what this looks like, start plugging into some functional health practitioners. @drmarkhyman and @chriskresser really helped me early on in my journey and more recently @drcaseyskitchen and Barbara O’Neill @living_springs_retreat Knowledge is empowering.

We process it, we spray chemicals on it, we genetically modify it, we hybridise it. Wholefoods that were once healthy like wheat, soy, corn are no longer because we’ve genetically altered them and we spray them so they’re no longer healthy for us. I don’t know but it seems that the more we interfere with God’s food the sicker we’re getting 🤔Thoughts? #health #food #reflection #healthyliving #god #creation

We didn’t know what we didn’t know. It was such a routine process and I never thought to really question it. I didn’t even think to ask what was in the injections they gave her, I just blindly trusted that it was the right thing to do. There was no information given about potential long term effects and the positives and negatives by any of the health professionals we saw. And no one in our circle of friends was talking about it. As parents who want to do the best we can for our family’s health, I get really upset when I think about this and it’s taken a huge amount of courage to share this because I know how emotionally charged this topic is. I’m grateful our daughter is a healthy and active 5 year old. But I’ll never know how the 19 shots she had up until the age of 2 have impacted her little body. It’s unlikely she’ll have any more and we’ll be investigating any new innovations very carefully. I don’t share this in judgment of anyone or as advice to anyone. I share this because I wish someone had shared it with us so we could ask questions and do some research to make a fully informed decision about our daughter’s health. Every parent deserves access to the information to make the best decision for their child.
