Is Food your Medicine?
My first experience with a Naturopath over 30 years ago was because I was exhausted. I was studying my Degree in Nursing full time, Modelling in Adelaide and Sydney, Working within a fashion boutique and helping out in a nursing home when I had a spare few hours. My GP asked me to slow down, this wasn't an option so I searched for someone who could support my body and mind through this as I loved every part of it and wanted to get the best out of it all. I visited a Naturopath who was also a Registered Nurse and
she tested me for Candida and food intolerances through IgG - These results revealed my levels were through the roof and the reason for my feeling so fatigued, bloated and puffy even though I exercised daily and thought my diet was on track I was actually harming myself with the food I was ingesting. After learning the foods for my medicine I not only was able to think clearly, improve my memory but also feel a sense of balance and wellbeing with my every day. Sleeping was solid and there were no energy slumps in my day.
What is Candida albicans is a species of yeast — a single-celled fungus, in fact – that lives naturally in the body. This yeast is a normal part of the microbes that live on your skin and in your gastrointestinal tract, but under some circumstances it can multiply out of control. The side effects of this include exhaustion, craving for sweets, bad breath, Hormone imbalance, Joint pain, loss of sex drive, chronic sinus and allergy issues, gas and bloating, weak immune system ad Urinary tract infections.
Signs and symptoms of food intolerances include Swollen tonsils, Behavioural problems, Chronic fatigue, Depression, forgetfulness, Insomnia, Migraines, Bloating, Irritable Bowel, Weight gain, constipation, Eczema, rashes to name a few. I often use this test on Adults as well as Children.
Within Naturo Heath Care we see this response daily and it is as empowering now as it was over 11 years ago when I started it all in my own practice. Is it time to get your health on track and have your levels of Candida and IgG food intolerances tested?
