The thyroid gland is not as widely discussed as many other parts of the human anatomy. Yet, when it malfunctions, the symptoms range from being highly unpleasant to high risk.

As well as the growing belief that naturopathy can contribute to its treatment.
How to feel less tired is a common question on Google searches.
Life can leave you wishing there was a ‘magic way’ to overcome fatigue or to tackle total exhaustion! In fact, the solution to low energy is rooted in basic science and there are simple things you can do to tackle tiredness.
Naturopathic practitioners the world over are struggling not to say “I told you so!”, as growing numbers of mainstream health organisations (finally) begin to embrace the power of nutrition to prevent and even treat some illnesses.
Medical science is continuing to dig deeper into the link between nutrition and health. This means we are getting an ever-clearer picture of the benefits of being purposeful in what we consume. A great example of this is the increased understanding of the benefits of p-5-p.
Selenium is essential for humans, yet it is a nutritional element that receives little publicity. It is also something that can be deficient in modern diets, due to inadequate levels in the soil that underpins our food chain.
This is highly significant, as selenium deficiency can have a negative effect on many aspects of your health. Including potential heart and thyroid issues, for example. There is experimental evidence that suggests too little
of this micronutrient can increase the risk of cancer and age-related cognitive health issues too.
What is selenium, what does it do, and why do we need to increase the amount of selenium we consume?
The expression ‘you are what you eat’ carries some truth. Your food choices have a ripple effect on your entire body and your mental health - and not just internal functions but something that everyone can see: your skin!
This is not some new-fangled theory. The effect nutrition has on skin appearance, feel and resilience has been understood for centuries.
However, as microbiology and other fields of science advance, so does our appreciation of the things we can eat for healthier skin. There is even research into purposeful diet changes and supplements that treat skin conditions.
As part of our passion for providing the latest information on nutrition and health, here are insights into how ‘beauty from within’ is supported by naturopathic principles.
How to protect your family’s health and the health of the nation!
With mainstream medicine besieged and buckling due to the long-term impact of a global pandemic, it’s a watershed moment for homeopathic and naturopathic providers and supporters.

The health of the nation is also being undermined by added pressures, such as the skyrocketing cost of living.
There’s been much discussion in recent years, about the advantages of purposefully creating a balance in the micro-organisms that live in your body. Including marketing-speak about the need to buy probiotic products to build ‘healthy gut bacteria’. In fact, it’s a nutritional topic that has genuine and substantial relevance to both preventing ill health, and potentially treating some issues. Adding to your body’s tally of micro-organisms is also widely seen as an important way to offset some of the negative aspects of modern life. Including society’s increasing reliance on over-processed foods, the rising levels of air pollution, and the significant strains on our immune health.
