These days it’s all about who you know right?  So if we applied that same mindset to rating and ranking our organs then the kidneys would’ve amassed the largest number of followers, ‘top fan badges’, likes, watches, you name it.  The kidneys are nothing if not ‘connected’ – with reciprocal relationships with our vascular, neurological & […] The post When Your Gut Kicks Your Kidney ? appeared first on Rachel Arthur Nutrition ..read more

I know you haven’t heard a lot from me of late. ? I repeat I been BUSY? . Anyone currently undertaking our Nutrient Prescriber’s Program this year or Cracking the Case Series will vouch for that and fill you in on the insanely dynamic details!!

It’s so wonderful to know kidney health is moving address. From the darkest bits at the back, now to the front of our clever clinical minds.  We’re easy to impress when it comes to any ‘axis’ – gut-brain, brain-immune etc. so we all need to take a moment and take note of arguably the most […] The post Are Our Kidney Conversations Constrained By ‘Cause’? appeared first on Rachel Arthur Nutrition ..read more

It’s no secret I am in the midst of some serious deep-diving through the micronutrient evidence base & at a depth of about 30 metres I struck Boron!  Don’t yawn! I saw that.  Thinking, ‘boring’, when we hear, ‘Boron’, is almost as bankable as watching everyone reach for their water bottles when you mention anything […] The post Boron: A Victim Of Identity Theft ?‍♂️ appeared first on Rachel Arthur Nutrition ..read more

Still.  And yes – like you – I don’t see any slowing down any time soon in this extraordinary paradigm shift occurring in medicine and health. Which for us humans involves one humbling discovery after another. Here we were thinking we made our dietary choices from a place of free will & individual preferences ??

I’m such a sucker for marketing!…ZoomZoom is from an old Australian car ad – an earworm clearly conveying ‘ the speed of something’, and let me tell you, totally fitting for this little Zinc tale I’m about to tell! Many years ago, I wrote a thesis on Zinc that necessitated me reading every research paper […] The post ZoomZoom Goes the Zinc Zeitgeist appeared first on Rachel Arthur Nutrition ..read more

Wow, menopause is really having a moment, isn’t it? Or is that just me (and my mates who are all somewhere on that perimenopausal path)?! But seriously, medical perception of this reproductive transition is undergoing a revolution right now—widening the lens to take in more diverse potential presentations and lengthening the period of impact recognised […] The post And A Very Menopausal Christmas To You! appeared first on Rachel Arthur Nutrition ..read more

Any steps towards inclusivity in societal & cultural terms are cause for celebration but in medicine, that can come in the form of a ‘diagnosis of inclusion’, the opposite, of course, of a ‘diagnosis of exclusion’ and potentially as slippery and loose as it sounds.  That’s the somewhat precarious position we find ourselves presently in […] The post A Diagnosis of Inclusion for all Women 35-65? appeared first on Rachel Arthur Nutrition ..read more

Recently I asked practitioners to tell me where the ‘therapeutic reference range’ many of us were taught for nutrients comes from & no one has been able to answer that.? If you’ve heard me refer to my original naturopathic education before you’ll know I generally hold it in high regard. And I’m forever mindful that there […] The post Is Our Education At Risk Of A Being An Echo Chamber appeared first on Rachel Arthur Nutrition ..read more

Let’s play a word association game of minerals & their major roles I say, ‘Potassium’. Maybe you say, ‘Sodium Potassium Pump’ I say, ‘Magnesium’. You say, ‘Muscles?’ I say, ‘Calcium’. You say, “Bones’…. But I say, Second Messenger. And arguably the most pervasive & potent one, at that.  Remind you about second messengers?  Well, sure.
