Everyone knows that water is the source of life. So why is something as simple as drinking more water not considered as an option, when it comes to treating or preventing disease? After all, every single cell of our body runs on water. Many people think dehydration is something that happens to tourists in the desert when they almost die from thirst. But the reality is that most or our clients are 50% dehydrated at the time of testing at our clinic. This is very noticeable when we take a look at a droplet of blood under the microscope. When you are dehydrated your red blood cells tend to stick together in shapes like coin roles, and often we get our clients to drink 3 glasses of filtered water on the spot, before we take another sample. Within a matter of minutes our client’s blood looks a lot better. The clumps of red blood cells start to separate, and this is often reflected in our client, who suddenly feels energized. Sometimes the blood remains sticky, and then we know we are looking at underlying digestive issues that need to be addressed. Did you know that by the time you feel thirsty and your mouth is dry, this is absolutely the LAST symptom that you are dehydrated? Your body is now seriously parched, which puts a lot of stress on your body making your body release cortisol in your blood stream. Cortisol is the only hormone that accelerates the aging process and kills neural pathways in your brain, so your memory is affected as well. Traumatic experiences also have a dehydrating effect on the body, so if you are struggling with emotional, physical, mental or spiritual trauma, make sure you drink twice as much water as usual. In fact, I would recommend that you come in for a healing session where we can recalibrate your hydration levels in your body energetically, so water starts going into every space and particle of your body, https://www.purplehousenaturaltherapies.com.au/diagnostic-healing-devonport-ulverstone/#combination-consult Water is Nutrition in the broadest sense, because it nourishes our bodies like no other food can except light. It flushes toxins from the body and supplies life giving minerals to your tissues. Your cells are two thirds water by volume; however, the water molecule is so small that if you were to count every single molecule in your body, 99% of them would be water molecules. It is well known that poor quality water can kill you, and good quality living water has amazing benefits for your health. Patrick Flanagan, named one of the top 10 scientists in America by Life Magazine, advised in his book Elixir of the Ageless that: “Drinking tap water is a slow form of suicide. Today’s tap water is yesterday’s toilet water, too thin to plow and too thick to drink. Chemicals (chlorine and fluoride) used to treat water are positive-charged cationic electrolytes that are potentially destructive to the colloidal balance when ingested into the human system. As a result, people die…inch by inch, not really knowing what is wrong!” When it comes to water, you can’t afford to be lazy. About 10,700 bladder and rectal cancers each year may be associated with trihalomethanes (THMs) and their chemical cousins found in tap water. That translates into about 30 cancers per day (that estimate is from 20 years ago when there were literally billions of tons less chemical poisons in the environment) You owe it to yourself and to your family to strive for the purest water possible. Unless you’re fortunate enough to live by a pure water source you will need some kind of water purifier, and many of our clients have asked us what we use in our clinic and at home. The short answer is that Pete and I have always filtered our water. We have tried many different devices. In 2008 we bought a reverse osmosis filter for $4000. At the time, it was worth more that the car Pete was driving, but we prioritized healthy drinking water for the family to upgrading our car. Looking at the statistics, more accidents are caused by drinking tap water than driving an old car! Our old water filter served us well but life got so busy that we neglected the maintenance it needed. Early in 2024 we purchased an Enagic K8 ( which is short for Kangen with 8 Titanium plates to create Hydrogen water) There is a growing body of scientific evidence recognizing its potential to reverse the aging process, combat inflammatory conditions (reduce aches and pains) and boost your overall health and wellbeing. I am in love with my new medicine on tap, and happy to share more information with you, so call my friendly team on 03 64283007.

Say Goodbye to Tummy Troubles with three easy steps Ever feel like your stomach’s playing a game of roulette? One day it’s smooth sailing, the next it’s a rollercoaster of discomfort keeping you toilet bound or doubled up on the couch. If this resonates with you, (or a loved one) keep reading, because I am about to demystify your digestion woes, in a way that even a five year old would understand. Let’s break it down. Picture your digestion as a superhero armed with two secret weapons: stomach acid and bile flow. These two buddies team up to tackle the food you throw their way. While you are chewing your food, the stomach is cranking up an acid fire. As soon as foodstuffs drop into the stomach, they get ‘burnt’ by this acid fire. Yes, your stomach acid sits around 2 to 3 pH, similar to car battery acid. This helps to break down your food into tiny absorbable bits, and it also helps to kill parasites and harmful bacteria. Meanwhile your liver and gallbladder are getting ready for their turn. Your liver contains lots of pipes (called bile ducts) where bile gets collected, ready to be stored in the gallbladder. While it sits in the gallbladder, waiting its turn of the action, it gets very caustic or alkaline, with a pH of around 9, a bit like caustic soda. The gallbladder waits patiently for its cue.

Reversing the Clock with Electrolyzed Reduced Water ERW Are you tired of feeling sluggish and low on energy? Do you want to take control of your health and well-being and wake up refreshed every morning? Let’s go all the way back to the most basic essential for life: water. Farmers know that you must get the soil right before crops can thrive. In our case that means we’ve got to get the basics covered and get the right nutrients into us, so our body can perform its basic functions. The most basic and essential nutrient for life is water. Without water you can’t survive, let alone thrive! At birth, we are approximately 80% water, and its all downhill from there…. When we die from old age, we are usually between 47 and 55 % water. We are sapped of our vital juices in the same way that a grape shrinks to a raisin. Perhaps the ageing process of gradual dehydration can be stopped and reversed by drinking more water?

Learn How We've Got Your Liver Covered ... Your liver is a powerful workhorse! You rely on it to purify your entire blood volume every 3 minutes. By comparison, the most impressive commercial dishwasher doesn’t even do a full cycle in 3 minutes! We take our livers for granted most of the time, so today we want to dedicate some time to celebrate your liver and gallbladder. I am not talking about celebrating with a glass of wine or dining out. These are exactly the kind of celebrations your liver dreads! Every mouthful of alcohol over and above the first tablespoon (which is our upper limit according to research) hits you like a karate chop to the liver. Celebrate your liver by eating healthy fats instead. Your liver will be in fat heaven, which is exactly where it deserves to be! Eat lots of butter, the more the better. Skip the toast, and just have a cube of butter by itself. You will boost your Vitamins A, C, E, D and K because these are all fat-soluble vitamins. Other beneficial fats are saturated fats, like meat fats. Coconut and Macadamia nut oil are also some of the very best oils that fill your liver with happy vibes. To support your healthy liver and gallbladder function, take one Beetflow capsule and one Digestizyme with every meal. Pete and I have been doing this since 2009, when we first discovered Beetflow and Digestizyme. Today, Peter’s eyesight is better than 10 years ago. Since your eyeballs are an extension of the brain, this is great news.

What Swollen Ankles Reveal About Your Well-being ... *Have you ever sat down, removed your socks and shoes, and it looked as if there was a rubber band around your ankle from where your socks were all day? *OR, when you reach and push down on your foot, ankle, or lower shinbone, and when you take your finger away, the finger depression is still there… *You might even have aches and pains in your feet and legs, and it doesn’t go away with exercise or wearing compression stockings. These symptoms of swelling and extra fluid pooling in the tissues around your feet and ankles point to circulation issues. The worst-case scenario is that it could lead to clots or a cardiac event. Heart and cardiovascular issues are usually preceded by a decline in kidney function, or stress building up in your kidneys. So, let me go all the way back to the start of the problem. Often fluid retention is caused by dehydration or lack of water and minerals. You need adequate minerals to carry the water into the cells of your body and people on a low salt, low water diet suffer a double whammy of stress on their kidneys and heart. But, *YOU might be different and already drink plenty of water; *YOU might have even followed dietary changes recommended by a doctor or dietician; *YOU might be on water pills (diuretics); and yet you STILL suffer from persistent puffiness AND paying the price for it, because most prescribed solutions come with a long list of side effects, like dry cough, diarrhoea or constipation, dizziness, weakness, drowsiness, lethargy, nausea, vomiting, light headedness… Swelling and puffiness is not something you should overlook.

Do you want to clear up your illness, pain or allergies the natural way? The best time to turn your life around is TODAY and you need to start with your DIGESTION. Why? Your digestion is literally the root system of the body. Think for a moment…. How well could a tree grow if you damaged or poisoned its root system? It couldn’t …. it would show signs of stress first and then go into sharp decline. The same goes for you. If your digestive system isn’t working properly, you can’t thrive. Not only are digestive issues painful, but they are also the most common source of health problems, including obesity, anxiety, depression, skin issues, allergies, migraines and inflammation. To make it easy, there are only 4 major pillars of digestion: Stomach acid/Hydrochloric Acid (HCL), Bile Flow, Water Flow, Intestinal Flora/Microbiome. Pete and I created a package that addresses the root system of your body…. I am sure you have heard us talk about it. It’s called the Ultimate Vitality Boost. How does it work?

The Common Misconception About Heartburn and Antacids ... Can you relate to this? *Always feeling exhausted, *Worried about bad breath/halitosis, *Constipation/diarrhea, *Acid reflux Burping or bloating after eating, *Dizziness, *Weak or brittle nails, *Struggling with fungal infections, If you tick any of these boxes, I want you to meet Tracy, my client, who was such a tough case that no other specialist had been able to help her. *She didn’t have a life. *She was only 40 but she felt like giving up. *She had IBS and couldn’t eat dairy, gluten, fruits, vegetables, spicy or fatty foods and she would suffer so badly that she had to spend 2 or 3 hours on the toilet in intense pain. *She only ate rice, potatoes, chicken or fish. *She was afraid of going out because of her spastic colon and she never knew when it was going to play up. *She had thyroid disease and couldn’t sleep at night because of restless legs. *She always felt bloated and suffered from bladder incontinence. *She was taking Nexium for acid reflux, Valium for her nerves, muscle relaxants, calcium for her bones, Vitamin D, Synthroid for her thyroid, and Vesicare for her bladder incontinence. *She had been placed on Nexium 13 years ago to control her unbearable stomach pains. *She was fed up with spending hours at the doctors’ surgery and spending thousands of dollars on medication and tests, with nothing to show for it.

How Parasites Could Be Lurking in Your Body ... We see a lot of people who are dealing with a health issue and they’ve tried everything and nothing is improving. Do you feel like that sometimes? You have gotten to the point to where you feel like you are just stuck…. Maybe, you feel as if you are just a lost cause. I really understand how that feels. I struggled with digestive issues for the first 35 years of my life. Nobody could give me the pieces of the puzzle that were missing… So, I understand what it’s like to really be frustrated with a health issue and you feel like you’re just battling through this situation that has no end in sight. So, in this video above, I want to help you understand why some health issues are so tricky to figure out, and others are easier. First of all, you need to understand that when it comes to your health, there is not one size that fits all. And, if you’re trying to look for just one pill to fix everything, you’re going to have a lot of disappointment and frustration. The reality is that every health issue out there has three, four or five different underlying causes. The remedy that works for your neighbour doesn’t work for you, even if you have the same symptoms. That’s because you are unique, with your own biochemical imprints and markers that pertain to you, not anyone else. In the video, we explain how we look under the bonnet of your and take every system under the loop during a FULL HEALTH AUDIT / COMPLETE HEALTH ANALYSIS. If you are not ready for a FULL HEALTH AUDIT, consider having the LIVE and DRIED BLOOD ANALYSIS done for a great start to get real answers. Now, after having said that there isn’t just one root cause to all our health problems, there IS actually a global issue that affects nearly everyone. Can you guess what it is?

My client had recently suffered a heart attack; and after he was released from hospital, he wanted to discuss the information the Doctors had given him, with me. I had the look at the information handed out to my client in the hospital. The first thing I read was: “ENJOY HEALTHY EATING” (I couldn’t agree more with that sentence!) Then it went like this: Have 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of vegetables daily. Have wholegrain cereals, bread, rice and pasta. Choose lean meats and low fat dairy foods. Eat fish at least 2 times per week. Drink plenty of water. Use moderate amounts of mono and poly unsaturated oils and margarines. (For example olive, canola or sunflower.) Before I go any further, I just want to say that I ONLY AGREE WITH POINT 4 and 5: EAT FISH (and even that only in moderation as about 95% of the worlds fish is polluted with heavy metals) AND DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. Just as I thought the information couldn’t get any worse I read: “avoid full cream dairy foods and cream, sour cream and butter and meat fats.” (This is exactly the type of diet that will destroy my client’s heart and arteries, and feel miserable, depressed and hungry in the process.) Luckily I was able to agree with the last few pointers: Click on the link below to read Grada's Blog in full ... https://www.purplehousenaturaltherapies.com.au/are-you-eating-the-right-things-to-avoid-heart-disease/

Do you feel overlooked, overworked and underpaid? It could be your stomach! You might have been popping antacid tablets without a second thought … But did you know that these seemingly harmless pills might be doing you more harm than good? While antacids provide you with temporary relief from pain, burning or acid reflux, they mask the underlying issues that caused the problem. What most people don’t realise is that long term use of antacids leads to poor nutrient absorption. The food that you eat can’t be used for cell renewal, because its not digested properly. Compare a healthy stomach to a small campfire that keeps you warm. Now, imagine your campfire isn’t going so well. Perhaps there are just some smouldering embers left. You wouldn’t dream of putting wet logs on those embers would you? Instead, you would carefully add bits of dry kindling, and wait for a small flame to flicker before you add bigger logs. Antacid tables kill your stomach fires. Its’ like putting water on your campfire. Without a healthy functioning stomach, your digestion is broken. Stomach acid, primarily composed of hydrochloric acid (HCL) helps break down food, particularly proteins, into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body. You will also run low on other vital vitamins and minerals. Without sufficient acid to regulate the lower oesophageal sphincter, stomach contents can flow back into the oesophagus, causing discomfort and a burning sensation. This is a big mistake! We believe that we have TOO much stomach acid, when in reality we have too little. Stomach acid acts as a natural barrier against harmful bacteria and pathogens. With reduced acid levels, the risk of bacterial overgrowth in the stomach and small intestine increases. This can lead to conditions like Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), causing symptoms like bloating, gas, and abdominal pain. Did you know that healthy stomach acid levels destroy ingested pathogens, parasites and bacteria?

*Has your skin lost its glow? *Are you experiencing hair loss? *Weigh fluctuations? *All sorts of digestive issues? *Are you basically feeling challenged on all fronts but don’t know why? I might have the answer. You could be lacking in enzymes! Keep on reading because enzymes are a game changer. You might have heard of vitamins and minerals and how important they are. But has anyone told you that enzymes are the supporters of life? Without these supporters of life your health (including mental health) crumbles. Just think about it…. Even your favourite football team would collapse if its support base dwindled and disappeared. Besides, games are not much fun without spectators. It’s the same inside your body. Without enzymes, your body goes into steep decline. You can’t stay in shape without enzymes, so exercising would be futile. And, you can eat the best food in the world, but if you are enzyme deficient, you can’t get the nutrients from your food. Your health will suffer as well. Here is a short list of what enzymes do for you. Click on the link to read Grada's Blog in full ... https://www.purplehousenaturaltherapies.com.au/discover-the-hidden-health-gem/

“Did you know that in today’s world, children are facing more health challenges than ever recorded in history?" I recently had a seven-year-old client who exemplified this issue. ‘Johnie” constantly argued, making it challenging for his mother to leave him alone with his siblings even for a few minutes. His disruptive behaviour at school, including tantrums and mood swings had earned him the label of being ‘a handful”. Night times weren’t much better. Disrupted sleep had reached concerning levels. When he came to me, the Education Department was considering medical intervention, and I understood their concerns. Upon treating him, I quickly realized that his problems were not purely psychological. His body and subconscious wanted him to behave better, but his immune and nervous systems were severely compromised. His gut was overloaded with bad bacteria, Candida, and likely parasites, creating a toxic mix that affected his entire body. Now, there are many people today who still believe that diet has nothing to do with your health problems, your attitude or your ability to learn and focus. But in my opinion, diet is one of the cornerstones of great health. The early years of a child’s life are very important for later health and development. One of the main reasons is how fast the brain grows starting before birth and continuing into early childhood. Although, the brain continues to develop and change into adulthood, the first 8 years build a foundation for future learning, health and life success. How well a brain develops depends on many factors such as: Click on the link below to read Grada's Blog in full ... https://www.purplehousenaturaltherapies.com.au/unveiling-the-health-challenges-affecting-kids-today/

Have you ever had a moment of supermarket-induced amnesia when you can’t remember where you parked your car? You are not alone; it happens to the best of us! It could be sign of early Alzheimer’s or Dementia, or it could simply mean that you are too stressed, overwhelmed and need a mini holiday! All jokes aside, the facts about Dementia are very chilling. Symptoms can be gradual impairment of brain function, e.g. memory decline, speech is affected, thinking is less clear, and there are noticeable changes in personality, behaviour and mobility. How common is dementia? In 2022, it was estimated that there were 401,300 (AIHW estimate) Australians living with dementia. Based on AIHW estimates, this is equivalent to 15 people with dementia per 1,000 Australians, which increases to 84 people with dementia per 1,000 Australians aged 65 and over. Nearly two-thirds (63%) of Australians with dementia are women. With an ageing and growing population, it is predicted that the number of Australians with dementia will more than double by 2058 to 849,300 people (533,800 women and 315,500 men). The rate of Alzheimer’s/Dementia has doubled in the last 10 years. The good news is that recent studies suggest that up to 40% of dementia cases could be prevented….. And, it can even be reversed!

Did you know that eagles have the potential to live up to 70 years? However, once they reach around 40 years old, they encounter a critical “health crisis.” Their talons become overly long and inflexible, their beak curves excessively, and their wings become cumbersome, making flying a challenging task. Faced with this dilemma, eagles must make a tough choice: embrace decline and inevitable death or undergo a painful process of renewal. Choosing the latter, the first step in the eagle’s renewal journey involves finding a secure space – nestled in the mountains near a protective wall. The eagle initiates the challenging renewal process by striking the wall with its beak. As the beak breaks, the eagle patiently waits for a new one to grow. Once equipped with a fresh beak, the eagle proceeds to pluck out its worn feathers, allowing new ones to emerge. After enduring five months of wounds, scars, and growth, the eagle celebrates its renewal with a triumphant flight, emerging stronger than ever, capable of soaring the skies for another 30 years. Interestingly, lobsters also undergo transformative experiences throughout their lives. Continually outgrowing their shells, pressure builds up inside, causing pain and stress until the shell eventually cracks open. Vulnerable and exposed, the lobster scurries to a safe place, growing a new shell rapidly. Once settled in its new home, the lobster is ‘as happy as a clam’ but inevitably continues growing. Eventually, every millimeter of space inside the shell is occupied, leading to another period of vulnerability, hiding under a rock, and growing a fresh “armour.” Lobsters can live to be 70, if they are lucky! So, how do these incredible creatures relate to us? For women in their forties, it’s a time when they might “hit a wall.” Bouncing back becomes more challenging, replaced by aches, pains, stress, and overwhelm. Mojo becomes a thing of the past, making room for irritation, forgetfulness, and a loss of confidence. The root cause, as Pete and I understand, often goes deeper, involving unresolved childhood issues. Stress and trauma from early experiences can no longer be suppressed after 40, as the body tires from keeping them locked away in the subconscious mind. The energy for suppression wanes, and these unresolved issues begin leaking into everyday life. Men, too, may face an identity crisis or serious health concerns in their late forties or early fifties (heart attacks or prostate cancer for example) So, what can we learn from eagles and lobsters?

Savouring the Season: Breaking Free from Christmas Binging. Have you ever thought: “If I eat one more mouthful I will burst?” You might find yourself eating breakfast at one family members house, lunch at another and finish with a leftover evening meal somewhere else at Christmas. You are left bursting at the seams, to the point of spilling over. It reminds me of when I was in Holland in 1981. The Christmas and New Year celebrations run well into January. Custom at Grada’s family was to cook olieballen, alias “oil balls”, a deep-fried donut mix. Let me tell you they are delicious, and traditionally only cooked once a year, on new years eve. One of Grada’s brothers had eaten so many olieballen that he became violently ill and missed out on the 12 a.m. fireworks completely, stuck in front of the only toilet in the house, vomiting his heart out. We have probably all been guilty of gorging ourselves with too much yummy cooking, ignoring all our body’s warning signs! So how can we minimize the risk of falling into this yearly trap of overshooting the mark and paying for it afterwards? Growing up I ate rolled oats porridge followed by toast with honey most mornings, not realising my body was converting all those tasty high-starch carbohydrates to sugars. I used to end up with a massive surge of energy, followed by a crash in energy, so I shovelled in more carbs at morning tea time to get my energy back, which was then followed by another inevitable drop just before lunch time. Perhaps you know what I am talking about? You yoyo your way through the day, often feeling full and empty at the same time, and ending up in a state of total YUCK! You have probably heard me say that the cells of our body make energy from either sugars on the one hand or fats on the other. Newborn babies who are fully breastfed (the perfect food for little humans) are making at least 70% of their energy from fats. That’s how they thrive. However, when they are weaned and started on solids, they have to throw their entire metabolism around. Everything is topsy turvy. Instead of living on healthy fats, they now enter the next chapter of their lives, which is often filled with many health challenges, caused by our modern western diet. (Advocated by well-meaning, but ignorant clinic nurses, dieticians, and paediatricians.) From this time on, they are generally fed 80 to 90% carbs and sugars (think mashed potatoes, porridge, breads, pasta, fruits, vegetables, fruit juices, mashed banana, grapes and sugar laden processed food) This is a recipe for disaster, but for some reason we never question it.

“My blood sugars are too high and I don’t want to go on tablets”! I hear my client exclaim in despair as she settles into the “naughty” chair at my desk. “Well, what does your diet consist of?” I ask her, wanting her to go through what her normal breakfast, lunch, and dinner would consist of. “What other problems do you experience?” I ask her gently. “Oh well, the doctor tells me my cholesterol is too high and he started me on blood pressure tablets six months ago, which I hate and I just can’t lose this weight around my belly.” She continues “Plus my energy levels are at an all-time low, which affects my time with my family and especially my hubby. My libido is non-existent.” Do any of these things sound familiar? *No energy/ fatigue *High blood pressure *High blood sugars *High cholesterol *Low libido *Inability to lose excess weight especially around the midriff It’s known as Metabolic Syndrome. 80 % of Americans now have Metabolic Syndrome. Metabolic Syndrome is a precursor to Diabetes, and every 3 seconds somebody is diagnosed with Diabetes, globally. Every 7 seconds, somebody dies from diabetes. That is the bad news.

What do swollen ankles have to do with your health ? * Have you ever sat down, removed your socks and shoes, and it looked as if there was a rubber band around your ankle from where your socks were all day? *OR, when you reach and push down on your foot, ankle, or lower shinbone, and when you take your finger away, the finger depression is still there… *You might even have aches and pains in your feet and legs, and it doesn’t go away with exercise or wearing compression stockings. These symptoms of swelling and extra fluid pooling in the tissues around your feet and ankles point to circulation issues. The worst-case scenario is that it could lead to clots or a cardiac event. Heart and cardiovascular issues are usually preceded by a decline in kidney function, or stress building up in your kidneys. So let me go all the way back to the start of the problem. Often fluid retention is caused by dehydration or lack of water and minerals. You need adequate minerals to carry the water into the cells of your body and people on low salt, low water diet suffer a double whammy of stress on their kidneys and heart. But YOU might be different and already drink plenty of water; YOU might have even followed dietary changes recommended by a doctor or dietician; YOU might be on water pills (diuretics); and yet you STILL suffer from persistent puffiness AND paying the price for it, because most prescribed solutions come with a long list of side effects, like dry cough, diarrhoea or constipation, dizziness, weakness, drowsiness, lethargy, nausea, vomiting, light headedness… Our client Laura had struggled with extremely swollen feet and legs for over a year before she contacted us. Her right side was often worse than the left and when you have swelling on the right side of your body, this often denotes low potassium levels. Thankfully, after several treatments at the Purple House, and taking supplements we recommended for her, she noticed a huge difference. “It was nothing short of a miracle!” she told us. Swelling and puffiness is not something you should overlook. It’s actually an early warning sign telling you that your kidneys and lymphatic system are overworked and underpaid. Swelling is caused by poor proteins digestion, which leads to undigested proteins in the blood, that then spills over into the lymphatic system and it draws the water in.

Today, I’m going to expose three harmful foods that are likely in your cupboards, right now, that could be putting a dagger through your health goals. All three foods are labelled and marketed as “health foods”. Today, I’m also going to show you my four natural weight loss helpers. These four natural solutions are not diet tricks, although many of my clients will tell you they work like magic. What they do is improve your digestion and help you process food with maximum efficiency. Let’s start with the 3 foods that are detrimental to your health. Harmful food number one is yogurt! Beware of any low-fat yogurt, as well as fruit yoghurt, it has more sugar than coke! Also, beware of any yogurt claiming to give you probiotic benefits when yogurt is pasteurized, it kills off many of those good bacteria. Unless you’re making your yogurt at home, you’re not going to get enough probiotic benefits to heal and seal your gut. Harmful food number two is breads! Whole grain bread is just as bad for you as white bread. Most bread contain large amounts of the number one fat-forming ingredient, high fructose corn syrup as well as Bromide, which makes you fat as sluggish. Fructose is a chemical that isn’t recognized by our brains, high fructose corn syrup confuses your ghrelin, which is the hormone that tells you when you’re hungry. It also disrupts leptin production, which is the IgM full hormone. When these two hormones are out of whack you never know when you’re full. So when you eat yoghurt with fructose and bread with corn syrup, your body tells you to eat more and more and you will never feel satisfied. That brings me to my number three: Cereals, also called serial killers. Sugar is usually the second ingredient, and the manufacturer often adds corn syrup, sugar cane fiber, and fructose, which is a recipe for plain old weight gain if you ask me. What’s worse, a lot of the breakfast cereals even have added metal shaving added to them, for extra iron! This is a complete disaster for your body. You may as well eat a packet of nails. Okay, now that I’ve told you the three foods you must avoid, it’s time for me to share my four natural fat loss helpers.

Today, we’re going to talk about something truly amazing, and that is the potential to extend our lives just as easily as fixing our hair with hair extensions. Yes, you heard me right! We’re diving into the world of longevity and how we can improve our chances of living a long, healthy life. Let’s start with some fascinating statistics from Australia. A boy born in 2019-2021 can expect to live to the age of 81.3 years, and a girl to age 85.4. Compare that to just over a century ago when boys were only expected to live to 51.1 years and girls to 54.8 years. That’s a huge improvement! But, what if I told you there’s more we can do to extend our lives beyond these statistics? Well, there is, and we’re about to explore some essential tips. First things first: you need to look after your mitochondria. Mitochondria are like the powerhouses inside the cells of our body. They’re the power stations that create energy for living, working, playing, and repairing our bodies. With around 50 trillion cells in our body, when your mitochondria are firing away happily, you’re having a good day. But if they’re misfiring, oh boy, do you suffer! One of the most critical things you can do for your mitochondria is giving your body minerals and trace minerals. Out of the 91 essential nutrients a human being needs, a staggering 61 of those are minerals. But here’s the catch: our soils have been mineral-deficient for nearly a century, and it’s getting worse. So, how can you effectively boost your mineral intake? Click on the link below to read Grada's Blog in full ... https://www.purplehousenaturaltherapies.com.au/4-secrets-to-longevity/

Stop taking your health for granted! Good health is like air. We take it completely for granted until we run out of breath. Imagine you are drowning in the ocean.

That’s the same with people who have had a health scare, for instance, a heart attack or a cancer diagnosis. Your deepest wish is to have your old life back, only healthier this time! Most people put Great Health as the number 1 on their wish list. But, then life takes over and we forget about it. We only pay lip service to the fact that we want to be fit healthy. Until you get a health scare. Can you relate to this? Click on the link below to read Grada's Blog in full ... https://www.purplehousenaturaltherapies.com.au/stop-taking-your-health-for-granted/

More than one million Australian children live with a parent who has depression, putting those children directly at risk of developing depression and anxiety themselves. Parenting is probably the most demanding ‘job’ in the world, and the challenges have only intensified during the last few years. As the world moves beyond the pandemic, parents are finding themselves grappling with the threat of parental burnout. This syndrome is characterized by 3 things: *Emotional exhaustion, *Depersonalization, *And, a decrease in self-fulfillment. If you resonate with this, you might also recognize some of these symptoms: • More irritable and aggressive than usual, • Not sleeping well, or sleeping too much, • Trouble concentrating, • Loss of appetite, • Plagued by unwanted thoughts, • Grappling with addictions like alcohol, gambling, smoking, overworking, • Engaging in reckless behaviour, • Feeling an overwhelming sense of hopelessness or helplessness, • Wanting to give up. Understanding Parental Burnout Parental burnout is not limited to a specific demographic; any parent can experience it. Research by Belgian psychologists Isabelle Roskam and Moïra Mikolajczak revealed four dimensions of parental burnout: 1. Exhaustion in your role as a parent, 2. A contrast with your previous parental self, 3. Feelings of being fed up with your parental role, 4. And, emotional distancing from your own children. These symptoms often progress in stages, beginning with overwhelming exhaustion, followed by emotional distancing, and ultimately leading to a loss of fulfillment in parenting. Unlike ‘job burnout’, parental burnout is not something you can escape from. You can’t run away from your children or responsibilities, and this sense of entrapment can lead to suicidal ideation or violent or neglectful behaviour towards your children.
