So many people don’t understand chronic illness

So many people don’t understand chronic illness like endometriosis and PCOS. If you live with a chronic condition, you can likely relate to the feeling that friends, co-workers, and family members just don’t understand what you’re going through. Feeling as though the people closest to you can’t relate to your day-to-day experiences can feel isolating. This can be especially challenging if your symptoms are invisible. When you don’t “look” sick, people may be confused when you try to express what you’re feeling or what you need. Sometimes, it can even feel like people don’t believe your experiences are real. Finding a community that understands what you are going through can help. If you are part of a helpful online support community, feel free to share the details below.

Are you in your forties and feeling out of sorts,

Are you in your forties and feeling out of sorts, exhausted from broken sleep, experiencing food cravings that you cave into every time, putting on weight around your tummy that just won’t budge? Hormonal changes leading into perimenopause can be a real pain in the butt. If you’re sick of the symptoms caused by these fluctuations, you can do something about it with HRT (hormone replacement therapy). There are different types of HRT and your gynaecologist can help you find the one that will suit you and your lifestyle best. Dr Swift is taking appointments for 2022. So if you’d like a NEW YOU for the NEW YEAR, call the clinic today to book an appointment. If you get a referral from your GP first, you will be eligible for a Medicare rebate. Our number is 5564 6017.

Pregnancy should be a time of great joy and expect

Pregnancy should be a time of great joy and expectation for women and their families. However the evolving COVID pandemic is causing pregnant women to feel a sense of anxiety about their own health and that of their unborn or newborn baby. The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists has released COVID specific information regarding risks to pregnant women and their offspring, advice on self-care during pregnancy and changes to the way that antenatal and postnatal care will be delivered. Visit their website for all the info - https://ranzcog.edu.au/statements-guidelines/covid-19-statement/information-for-pregnant-women

It’s selfcare Sunday so let’s look at the diff

It’s selfcare Sunday so let’s look at the difference between being mindful or having a mind full. One is extremely pleasant and the other can cause a great deal of emotional turmoil if not apprehended.
Mind Full – Anxious, stressed, weighed down, chaotic, worried, overwhelmed, doom.
Mindful – calm, in control, relaxed, peace, centred, uplifted, happy.

Ways to bring yourself back into balance from a full mind to mindful – yoga, meditation, walking in nature, sitting at the beach, sipping tea on the veranda, closing your eyes, and listening to the birds. Really stop and smell the roses this Sunday.

The festive season is upon us and it’s usually a

The festive season is upon us and it’s usually a time of indulgence at the numerous social commitments that take over your calendar. If you’re trying to conceive this might be a tempting time to break your good healthy habits and turn to the dark side. It’s fine to take a break from baby plans if that’s what you choose. But if you’re committed to the cause here are some ways to enjoy yourself and still stay on track.
• Mocktails are delicious and they’re alcohol free. Sip away on one of these pretty beverages to feel like you’re still part of the party without risking it. They’re great too if you’re already pregnant or breastfeeding. Plus they usually have some good nutritional value!
• If you’re worried about canapes of soft cheese and sushi being trayed past you, have a bite to eat at home so you’re less tempted. But don’t completely fill up. That way you can still indulge in the foods that are on the OK list.
• Try to enquire about the menu ahead of time (if appropriate) so you know if there will be a suitable option for you to tuck in to.

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare rep

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare report that only 2 in 5 Aussie women are adequately physically active. Low levels of physical activity are a major risk factor for chronic conditions. People who do not do sufficient physical activity have a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis. Being physically active improves mental and musculoskeletal health and reduces other risk factors such as overweight and obesity, high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol. Physical activity can also be helpful in the management and treatment of many chronic conditions—by improving symptoms, and/or delaying progression of the condition.

So come on ladies! Put down your phone and move that beautiful body of yours!
