We’re all aware of the benefits of exercise; stronger bones, improved mood, greater energy levels, better cardiovascular health and more restful sleep – to name a few – but as mums there can be so many (perceived and real) barriers!   Lack of time, a ‘tiredness factor’ that just doesn’t ever seem to disappear, a baby who is still fed ‘on-demand,’ a lack of childcare and even a dose of the guilts at taking some time out to exercise. Combine one or all of these factors with concerns about your pelvic floor or abdominal separation and it can all seem too hard.   With all of this in mind ..read more

Gut health for kids – what you need to know
Wholehearted Family Health
by Wholehearted Family Health
3y ago
I interviewed Jo Atkinson, a degree-qualified nutritional medicine practitioner who specialises in family health and a mum of three kids herself, on her top tips for gut health for kids.   What is the gut? The gut includes both the anatomical aspect and what is within i.e. the mouth, stomach, intestines and all the way out, as well as the stomach acid, enzymes and gut microbiota (the bacteria found in that environment).   How do we know if we have a healthy gut? The first thing to look at, especially for kids, is bowel movements. If you have a child who is having issues with constipa ..read more

Gut health and probiotics for kids are hot topics at the moment. We now know that a healthy gut can affect so many other areas of health, particularly in children, including immunity, skin issues and inflammation.   Probiotics have been shown to help with constipation, diarrhoea, allergies, eczema and the immune system. More recently they have also been linked to toddler behaviour as well as helping kids on the autism spectrum.   Meagan from The Gut Healing Community shares her guide to selecting the most suitable probiotics for kids.   Probiotics are live microorganisms that, a ..read more

Help! How do I stop being an angry mum?
Wholehearted Family Health
by Wholehearted Family Health
4y ago
Feelings of anger and rage are common amongst mums but it’s still a taboo topic to discuss.   Even with the open conversations that occur on social media, anger and rage are rarely shared due to the entrenched ideas of mothers as nurturers and idealist notions of selflessness.   Don’t get me wrong, it is not good for mums to be raging – it activates a stress response in both mum and her children and is modeling inappropriate behaviour for her kids but it’s not helpful to mums who are struggling with anger, rage and then often feelings of shame, if we don’t acknowledge the struggle ..read more

Wholehearted Family Health
by Wholehearted Family Health
4y ago
When your baby is approaching 6 months and you’re considering starting solids, you start to hear about the healthiest options, appropriate textures and volumes but generally, you don’t hear about the role of your baby’s nervous system in the experience.   Chiropractor Dr Carrie Rigoni shares about the link that is often missing when it comes to a good start with solids.   The vagus nerve is the biggest nerve in the body, travelling through the brainstem, the neck, the thorax and into the lower abdomen. It is part of the parasympathetic nervous system, and its job is to control automa ..read more

During this period of increased stress in our lives, it is tempting to choose the treats that give us a temporary feel-good fix. But we know that these options aren’t great for our immunity or energy levels.   Green smoothies are a great way to get some extra fruit and veggies in, for adults and kids.   These green smoothie recipes are a mixture of 60% organic fruit and 40% organic leafy greens with 2 cups of filtered water.   It’s also best to enjoy the smoothies just as the recipes suggest – there is no need to replace the water with juice, milk, soymilk or almond milk.   ..read more

What is homeopathy? Homeopathy is a medical system based on the belief that the body can cure itself.
