Wellness programs - preventative health

anti-aging antioxidant programs
immune boosting programs
detox programs

Don't wait till you're sick to contact me or come and see me. Maintain your good health and further enhance your body's defense systems with one of my preventative health programs, which will specifically cater to your needs.

Anti-aging antioxidant program

Antioxidants help protect against free radical damage. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules which cause damage to cells and tissues of the body. Free radicals have been shown to be responsible for aging and the development of chronic diseases. This program will incorporate a diet rich in antioxidant foods along with combinations of antioxidant supplements. The program will help reduce the risks of heart disease, cancer and other chronic degenerative diseases. It will slow down the aging process and will improve your vitality and wellbeing.

Immune boosting program

Be prepared for the winter months by increasing your immune defences and help ward-off colds and flu. The best way of doing this is by including immune strengthening foods and herbs into your daily diet wherever you can along with immune enhancing vitamin and mineral supplements. This program will help to strengthen your immune system holistically - improving the health and function of systems in the body which have a major role in immunity (e.g., the gastrointestinal tract).

Liver detoxification program

Your liver is one of the most important organs in your body for the maintenance of health and wellbeing. Everyday we are exposed to a vast number of toxic substances in the food we eat, air we breathe, water we drink, drugs, and chemicals we ingest etc. In addition, digestion and elimination, physical activity, infections and stress all produce a number of toxic by-products. To stay truly well, it is vital that our liver's detoxification system is functioning efficiently, optimally clearing our bodies of unwanted toxins.

This program is designed to remove all interfering factors and provide important nutritional and herbal support for detoxification and repair. The Detoxification program is one of the single most effective ways of improving your health and wellbeing. It brings harmony and regeneration that, in turn, springs wellness, vitality and longevity.

Unlike many traditional 'detox' programs which can actually cause more harm than good, my liver detoxification program combines digestive repair, liver regeneration and detoxification. It's designed to rebalance disturbed intestinal bacteria, restore poor digestion, prevent allergic exposure and repair leaky gut. All of these factors can contribute to the entry of toxins from the gut into the body.

Antioxidant rich foods

Some of the richest sources of antioxidants include red, blue and purple fruits and vegetables such as berries (strawberries, blueberries and raspberries), tomatoes and red capsicums. Yellow and orange fruits and vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, mango and apricots are also excellent sources. Drinking green or white tea will also provide you with plenty of health promoting antioxidants.
