Do you remember the classic Bounty bar? That nostalgic coconut-and-chocolate duo that was absolutely everywhere growing up? I loved them, but when I started reading ingredient labels more carefully, I realised the store-bought version that’s around these days is packed with refined sugars, emulsifi ers and artifi cial binders that do nothing good for your […]

I recently experienced integrative care for my own health, which has reinforced my passion for it as the best approach to healthcare. What happened? Driving into town, my speech felt strange, and when I glanced at my reflection in the mirror, the right side was drooping. I’ve been a vet for a long time, so […]

Editor kate reveals how a wall ladder has turned her downstairs lounge room into the most popular spot in the house.  Most mornings, my five-year-old son Harry is halfway up the wall of our downstairs lounge room.

For health-conscious Australians paying a premium in good faith, that is not […]

As a clinical nutritionist, I’m always on the hunt for meals that are not only delicious, but also nourishing. One of my favourite ways to check both of those boxes is by making my Herby One-Pan Salmon. It’s a dish that combines the ease of preparation with a wealth of health benefits due to its […]

Natural options when it comes to treating ailments may include nutritional strategies, plant-based therapies, supplements, biome-restorative treatments and physical therapies such as acupuncture, massage and myofascial release. Some supportive treatments are more ‘tech’, as I like to think of them. These include ozone therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Both may play a role in […]

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is a delicious tropical fruit with a long history of medicinal use, particularly in Southeast Asia. There is a large number of trees and shrubs in this genus (up to 300), native to Asia, Australia, Southern Africa and Polynesia. Mangosteen fruit trees possibly originated in Indonesia. The fruit is round and usually […]
