ISO version 2.0. Day 3. Rant. I’m a bit over this. It’s just dumb. It doesn’t make sense anymore. I think we need to do this differently. We cannot just live in hope of getting rid of the virus. What if we never get a vaccine?
We can’t live like this. This cannot continue to be our “new normal”, it is not living, this is merely existing. And for some, not even
.
I wonder what the stats are for the rise in mental health and suicide?
.
Quite frankly, the medical experts are not advising appropriately when it comes to protecting ourselves. With as little as 6 weeks nutrition education in their degree, they really are not qualified to do so
.
We need to build our own inner strength, our immunity, our resilience and resistance to prevent the spread. We need to take responsibility for our own health & immunity
So, some expert advise for you...
INCREASE YOUR IMMUNE BOOSTING NUTRIENTS:
Vitamin D: essential for immune surveillance. Deficiency is associated with increased susceptibility to infection
Vitamin C: one if the best known anti-virals, anti-bacterial & antioxidants. Reduces physical & emotional stress.
Zinc: crucial the development & function of cell mediated immunity, neutrophils & NK (natural killer) cells
Selenium: increased blood levels of selenium increases our immune response
.
Sleep 8 hours
Drink 2 litres filtered water daily
Eat cleanly- 2 fruits, 5 veggies daily
Use food as medicine & take practitioner only, properly prescribed supplements
Cut out sugar- it drives cortisol up
Breathe in fresh air
Soak up any sunshine
Keep active, go for a walk, take your shoes off and feel the earth, meditate, dance, sing, play, knit, read...
.
FEAR & ANXIETY: the worst for your immune system (not to mention your hormones & fertility). Fear drives cortisol up in turn suppressing our immune response
.
Rise above the fear
.
Whatever makes you laugh. Do more of that
.
Turn off socials & the news. Don’t buy into the fear that is driven by statistics. Statistics are merely numbers that can be twisted to tell a million different stories
.
I’m here to help & support you anyway I can. Rant over 💜

ISO take 2. Day 2. We are open and it is business

ISO take 2. Day 2. We are open and it is business as usual. I have had so many requests this week if I am still seeing patients. A resounding YES! And yes I am taking new patients too. We are an essential service and will remain open to take care of you
.
At the clinic we always have, and will continue to maintain the highest levels of cleanliness and hygiene. Your health is our absolute priority and I am here to help and support you in whatever way you need. Right now, it’s super crazy and can feel so absolutely stressful and overwhelming. Let me hold a calm space for you, a place you can come and be nurtured to take care of you
.
If it feels safer for you, if you would prefer, or if you live in another state or country, I also do Telehealth (online like zoom) appointments. About 50% of my consultations are done online. It’s easy, effective, and let’s face it, you can #stayhomestaysafe in your jammies!
.
I have seen some crazy stuff happening for women and their hormones- long cycles, short cycles, no cycles, heavy bleeds, lights bleeds, painful bleeds. Old symptoms have come back, or new symptoms have worsened. Not to mention the skin reactions- worsening acne, eczema and weird rashes. Don’t underestimate the impact of this latest lockdown. No matter how you feel about it, it will be impacting. Even if your life hasn’t really changed from last lockdown, and even though we have been here before, the community stress is unavoidable. The emotions are palpable. 💜

WE ARE OPEN: Lockdown Update
What you need to know about your appointment as my patient
.
As always, your care is my priority. I want to ensure you have all the information you need to know regarding your continued health care under my guidance.
But first things first - we continue to hold the upmost care at @thepagodatree and want to assure you we are continuing to offer the same standard of care as always.
As a health clinic, we continue to maintain high standards - this is, with or without Covid-19. But we continue to up level our care to make sure you, my patient is as safe as possible.
Whilst lockdowns have now been announced, we will continue to provide you with the same care as an essential service. That means, you are able to still hold your appointment with me and I am still able to treat you. Just as last time, we will remain open with all the measures in place to take care of you.
Health really matters now more than ever and I want to make sure that I can continue to support you in every way I can.
However, for those who do not feel comfortable, we are able to change your in-clinic appointment to a Telehealth (online like zoom) appointment. If you wish to do this, please contact the clinic as soon as possible so I can continue to uphold the best service to you.
Should you have any concerns or questions please do not hesitate to contact the clinic - 9686 7454
I cannot stress enough just how important your health is to me and I am here to assist you in any way I can.
Finally, we've all been here already (it's not our first lockdown after all), we're not starting from scratch and we have even more knowledge on how to best support you during this tricky time.
Most of all, stay safe and check on you loved ones. We're in this together.
Much love,
Miranda x

But which food is the problem? Is it food, or is it environmental (mould, dust, pollen, linen, detergents, dogs, cats, metals..) Endless list of possibles and probables
.
🌟Allergy vs Intolerance/Sensitivity:
The reason it can be so difficult to figure out the culprit is the difference between an allergy vs an intolerance. An allergy is an IgE mediated response and occurs immediately, within minutes, upon contact with the allergen. An intolerance or sensitivity is an IgG mediated reaction and can occur up to 72 hours (3 days) following exposure to that food or allergen. I can’t remember what I ate yesterday let alone 3 days ago! So it can be very difficult to figure out
.
One way to manage this is to keep a food and symptom diary. Quite frankly, I just don’t have time or patience for this. So, we have done a blood draw to test Matilda for 270 possible foods she may be reacting to. I am praying 🙏 something random will show
.
Yep it was confronting having the blood taken from her tiny little arm. She sat in my lap, I was instructed to pin her down, close in to my chest, with my legs folded over her and arms wrapped around her. I was warned she would scream, pull away, kick. I sat calmly and sang to her as I held her and she DID. NOT. FLINCH. Not a noise, not a whimper, not a movement. What a trooper. I know adults that pass out from blood draws!
.
So, we will send her blood to Sydney tonight and then get results back
.
Just a couple of things to think about;
✨Only avoid these foods if you can absolutely with certainty link them to causing an eczema flare.
🌟Eczema is about how the individual is PROCESSING. How the body is utilising the food, digesting, absorbing, metabolising and excreting the food.
💥It is also how the body is processing their environment, emotions, trauma, hormones.
⚡️Yes genetics plays a role. Genetics loads the gun, but something else pulls the trigger- food, emotion, trauma, environment
☄️And lastly, don’t forget the gut and the microbiome. Generally eczema is associated with leaky gut. Eczema is a Th2 dominant immune response, and gut health impacts it. Best probiotic - Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG 💜

BLOODY ECZEMA This poppet rocks my world . And the

BLOODY ECZEMA
This poppet rocks my world
.
And then there is eczema. If there is any condition I didn’t want my children to have, it’s eczema
.
Her eczema started when she was 10 months old, and she is now 19 months. We have managed to keep it fairly controlled- we have her on Vitamin C, zinc, selenium, vitamin D, fish oils, probiotics, Chinese herbs and homeopathics. We have rotated her diet, changed the sheets, mattress and pillows, Natural breathable fabrics etc....Plus, I have 4 other practitioners on this as well as me!
.
It has definitely got worse during the last 3 months, particularly the last two weeks, it has spread down her other arm, to her thighs and legs 😫. Devastating.
.
The complicating factors:
1. Matilda is from a donor egg, and whilst we received detailed medical family history, we don’t know if the egg donor had eczema, and if it is genetic or not
2. Covid-19- I truly believe this has made it worse. None of us can escape the global, collective stress of the past 4 months. We are all feeling it and clinically I have witnessed the impacts with my patients. Besides a complete worsening in mental health, the stress has impacted skin conditions (acne, eczema, psoriasis etc) and menstrual cycles
.
So, we did a blood draw yesterday to check food intolerances and environmental triggers
.
But at the end of the day, it still boils down to how well she is processing her food and dealing with her environment.

There is a complex interplay that exists amongst o

There is a complex interplay that exists amongst our thyroid hormones. So, it is always best to have your thyroid blood test results properly, professionally interpreted. After all, your results are only as good as their interpretation
.
And there is a difference. Many health care professionals love to see your results simply “in range”. But all too often, women come to me with their results telling me “my thyroid has been checked and it’s fine”. But they still feel exhausted, cold sensitive, constipated, foggy, emotional with unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight! They feel awful, they feel something is not quite right, and it is so disheartening to be told there is nothing wrong
.
I want you to function optimally, at your very best, so I want to see you in the optimal range
.
One of the other common barriers is that only TSH has been tested, and that is INSUFFICIENT to confidently rule out a thyroid issue. The 7 hormones and antibodies above really need to be checked
.
Optimal levels are different in PREGNANCY:
Ok, so previously in this post, I said we want TSH to be less than 2.5 mlU/L. Update: I have just been chatting with the wonderful @drjosephsgroi, and the important element in pregnancy is that T4 and T3 are both in range, TSH is less of a concern. (This is not to replace medical advice. Please always speak with your consulting specialist / GP / fertility doctor)
.
I do want to point out too, different labs have different ranges, due to different testing methods. So the “in range” numbers I have put here are from one lab only and may differ from another lab. This is also why it is really important to have your results properly interpreted
.
Are your results in range, or optimal? 💜

We have thyroid hormone receptors on just about e

We have thyroid hormone receptors on just about every cell in our body. That’s why there is such a broad range of possible symptoms associated with thyroid dysfunction, most commonly hypothyroid (under-function). It only takes 3 of these symptoms to kinda be pointing us in the direction of your thyroid. Can you relate to 3?
.
But...
Just because you do experience 3 of these symptoms, it doesn’t mean you have thyroid issues. I want you to think about those symptoms for a sec. Is there any other explanation? Eg. Are you tired because you can’t sleep, or are you having a bit of trouble conceiving because of Endometriosis
.
If not, then I would suggest you need to think about your thyroid, particularly if you have unexplained weight gain, difficulty losing weight, cold sensitivity, difficulty conceiving with a basal body temperature consistently below 36.3. In hypothyroidism, we will commonly see low temperatures, and no drop or rise in temps that should occur in a typical biphasic ovulation chart
.
An easier way to say it is that hypothyroidism can interfere with ovulation, and is one (of many) implications in miscarriages 💜
.
See my last two posts about how to properly test your thyroid 💜

These are the 7 different hormones and antibodies

These are the 7 different hormones and antibodies that need to be tested before we can even start to rule out any thyroid issue. TSH is quite frankly not enough to conclude “your thyroid is fine”
.
TSH comes from the brain and tells the thyroid to make more, or less thyroid hormones T4 & T3. T4 is effectively inactive, whilst T3 is active. The thyroid makes about 80% T4 and 20% T3, and then T4 converts to T3. This is a regulatory mechanism
.
T4 also converts to Reverse T3 under normal circumstances. Reverse T3 is an inactive version of T3, and too much of it blocks the activity of functional T3. We overproduce RT3 though when we are stressed or adrenally exhausted (high or low cortisol), if we have low iron, high adrenalin, practice weirdo fad diets, or suffer chronic inflammatory disease
So, the ratio between T3 & RT3 is super important
.
Then we have the thyroid antibodies- TPO & TGA which are seldom checked, only if TSH & T4 are out of whack. But here’s the thing. TSH is the hormone routinely checked to ‘rule out your thyroid’ and generally speaking, none of the other hormones are checked unless TSH is out of range. There are two issues here. Firstly, we are using outdated reference ranges (see my last post), plus TSH is the last hormone to actually significantly change. We may see little fluctuations as it regulates the other hormones, so once it goes outside the range, then your other hormones have been playing up for ages
.
Just because TSH is in range, does not rule out antibodies attacking your thyroid.
.
Just because TSH is in range, does not rule out problems with T4, T3 or reverse T3
.
And even then, your symptoms are real! Just because your bloods come back normal, does not mean the symptoms are in your head. The symptoms start first and may not have reached the biochemical or blood level yet. What I mean is you are feeling it, but it’s not showing up in the bloods yet
.
One more thing. Blood tests are only as good as their interpretation. Naturopaths and functional medicine practitioners look for optimal, not just in range
.
Plus, the range may actually not be right for you
.
I’m here to help. When you need 💜
