We all know that it can be expensive to work with a functional health professional. From supplements to organic foods, the budget can get blown quickly.

BUT the good news is there are a few things you can implement today (and tomorrow) that are completely free and will make a massive difference to your physical and mental health!

These are the top recommendations I give to most of my clients that cost them absolutely nothing:

Hang out with their dogs (or cats, or friends or family) - no notes.

Spend time in nature - honestly the world can be a pretty scary place at times but it also has so much magic and delight if we know where to look for it. From rainbows, sunsets, waterfalls and mountains. It’s an instant mood booster.

Find a hobby / external goal - this is a big one for me. Too often we get bogged down with our day to day, but finding something fun that we can build on does wonders for motivation and focus. And you can get some cool medals to hang on your wall too!

Though fair warning, despite popular belief running is absolutely not a free hobby…

Prioritise sleep habits - sleep is BY FAR one of the best things we can do for our health and it’s often one of the most neglected things.

Focus on going to sleep at a similar time every night and get a routine going so that your body learns to expect it.

Self care - whether that’s a bath, a gentle stretch session, a good book or a massage. Find time every week that you can just be at peace with yourself and let your nervous system down-regulate.

Start your morning well and see your day improve. Not only does getting up with the sun have massive positive benefits for your sleep (yes it’s true) and mood (hello vitamin D) - it also helps you get things done and boost your dopamine before dealing with that 10am annoying coworker.

Focus on one thing at a time - it is SO easy to get overwhelmed when trying to improve your health. But we can only take 1 step at a time and the best results are done in stages.

Which one of these can you implement today?

Today is World Alzheimer’s Day, and while I have personal skin in this game, as Australia’s biggest killer it’s a diagnosis that we all should absolutely be concerned about.

At the start of this year I lost my grandfather to a rather progressive deterioration from this horrible disease. What started as some anxiety around health quickly progressed through a general lack of confidence, withdrawal from social situations and then complete loss of function and awareness from the world around him.

Coupled with my own adhd diagnosis (there are currently no direct links to neurodivergence and alzheimers but it would be remiss to not acknowledge that adhd is caused from a level of brain inflammation), it is a future that I want to do whatever I can to safeguard myself from.

Not all practitioners are the same, we all have our own unique approach and these are a few things that you’ll be guaranteed to get if you choose to work with me on your health goals 🙏
