  • Kegels are great but…they’re only 50% of the story
    by Lara Bowyer
    January 20, 2022
    What age were you when you first read in a magazine, sitting at the hairdresser, that Kegels were ESSENTIAL for living? As essential as good Italian takeaway? Particularly if at some point, in the very obscurely distant future, you had for a split second pondered the idea of becoming pregnant. And don’t get me started on menopause, because if you had not started an Olympic level Kegel training regime by then you were definitely “a goner”. Well…what if I told you that Kegels were not the whole story? What if I told you that there was a little bit of technique involved […]
  • Traveler’s Diarrhoea: One Way to Ruin a Holiday!
    by Jocelyn Carter
    January 13, 2022
    On this Page DefinitionsPreventionManaging Traveler’s DiarrhoeaWhen Symptoms PersistMy Own ExperienceKey Message With international borders reopening many people are considering, or even booking, an overseas holiday. Traveler’s Diarrhoea is one of the most common illnesses experienced by people who travel overseas. It’s a generic term that covers anything from a mild stomach upset and loose poo, to severe vomiting and diarrhoea. It’s mostly a self-limiting illness that clears up in a few days. The good news is you can take steps to prevent it, and manage symptoms should they occur. While tropical and sub-tropical countries, and developing countries, are common places […]
  • Let’s talk about sex baby and when it’s actually just…impossible?
    by Lara Bowyer
    July 29, 2021
    On this Page Vaginismus, Vulvodynia, Vestibulodynia, oh my!So, what can be done? Gather ’round everyone, you’re about to hear a tale as old as time—about how everyone can (at an appropriate age and in a consensual way) just instantly have sex! What a grand old time that would be! For some though, that is just not the case. There are so many reasons why people with vulvas can’t have sex, despite wanting to, and a whole posse of professionals out there who can help you with this. From sexual counsellors to sexologists, gynecologists, and women’s health-focused GPs; they all play their role. […]
  • Guide to Pantry Essentials – recommendations from Jocelyn Carter, Naturopath, Nutritionist and Herbalist
    by Jocelyn Carter
    July 6, 2021
    On this Page Herbs and SpicesDried FruitCanned and Frozen FoodsGood Oil I am often asked what I consider to be pantry essentials, i.e what basics do I have on hand to ensure we are able to eat quite well and follow a healthy diet. Here’s what I see as essentials to have in my pantry. Dried beans/pulses like borlotti beans, chickpeas, black beans, lentils and moong dahl. Dried beans can be soaked overnight and cooked the next day. Beans/pulses are a great source of protein and fibre, which helps slow glucose absorption and keeps blood glucose levels stable. Dried beans/pulses […]

The truth is essential oils are very powerful.  They have amazing therapeutic benefits; but just as with other treatments, they need to be used with respect.  After all many of our most powerful medicines have their origin in nature.  So what makes the difference […]
  • LIFT into fighting cancer and SMOOTH into fighting its side-effects
    by EP Editor
    June 9, 2021
    For the past 50years, the focus of cancer research has been on treatment and secondly prevention … as it should be!  But with a rapidly growing population both living with and in remission from cancer, a new focus has developed; how do we reduce the morbidity associated with cancer? i.e. How can we make treatment suck just a little less?  Help the un-cancered part of a patient’s body just a little more?  And finally, help our patients live the best life they can after receiving that beautiful green tick of remission? So … what has the research proposed?  The short of it is exercise and […]

    On this Page What is it?Who gets it?What does it feel like?How is it treated? Hey Everyone! I have a special interest in hands and wrists, and today I thought I should share some info about a common condition that we see in the clinic. It is called De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis, which is a condition that affects tendons at the base of your thumb. What is it? There are two tendons at the back of your thumb called the APL and EPB (with the unreasonably long names of Adductor Pollicis Longus and Extensor Pollicis Brevis) . These tendons travel through […]

  • Everything you’ve wanted to know about Endometriosis from a Women’s Health Physio
    by Lara Bowyer
    March 19, 2021
    Endometriosis (from here on in, let’s call it Endo because nicknames are the Australian way!) is a term you might hear thrown around a lot in the month of March. That’s because March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. But what is the nitty-gritty of this super common condition that affects 1-in-10 Aussie women and is currently incurable? Why is it so damn hard to get a diagnosis? And why can two women, both with Endo, have such different symptoms? Well, strap yourself in my friend, you’re about to embark on a journey to clear up some of the confusion on this equally […]

    On this Page Microbiome  Diagnosis Pain and endometriosis – it’s complicated The role of the Naturopath Diet and Lifestyle Wishing You Many Good Things Endometriosis is an insidious female reproductive disease. Statistics indicate that around 10% of women in Australia will suffer from endometriosis at some time in their life. It can take 7-12 years to diagnose; the delay in diagnosis leading to years of pain and discomfort. Why some women develop endometriosis is not fully understood. One theory is that it may relate back to embryonic development. Another theory is that it is related to retrograde menstrual flow.  While endometriosis is characterised by endometrial […]

    Being born and bred in Canberra, I love a good stroll! But as the year is getting started and life begins to get hectic, it’s difficult to get in the habit of regular exercise every week.

  • Fibre – The Key to a Healthy Gut and a Healthy You!
    by Jocelyn Carter
    December 8, 2020
    Over the past 5-10 years research into the human gut microbioime has increased exponentially. While we continue to learn more about our gut bugs, one thing experts agree on is that a diet high in a variety of plant fibre is essential to having a health gut microbiome, a healthy gut, and a healthy you. What is Fibre?Fibre is derived from structural parts of plants – fruit, vegetable, wholegrains, legumes.  Fibre cannot be broken down by digestion and therefore contribute little to energy needs. Soluble fibre dissolves in water and forms gels and are digested (fermented) by gut bugs in our […]

  • How to keep your boobs happy this World Breastfeeding Week Blog Post
    by Lara Bowyer
    August 11, 2020
    Let me begin by introducing myself …. My name is Lara and I treat inflammatory conditions of the lactating breast (what a mouth full right!?, let’s call it ICLB for short). ICLB AKA mastitis AKA blocked ducts is a condition where milk is forced from inside the milk duct, to outside the duct and into the surrounding tissue. When milk goes rogue like this it creates inflammation and occasionally this can also lead to infection.  Let’s break it down: Milk INSIDE the duct = happy boobs Milk OUTSIDE the duct = sad boobs So how do we get ICLB? 1st Option: ‘A Mechanical Block’.  Think tight bras, […]
