What are the benefits of cleansing and how to do it safely?

Kimballe Robyzen — Tue, 10 Nov 2020 01:38:59 +0000

Along with the benefits of modern technology, we have inherited a global burden of toxicity. Our human organism was never designed to cope with such an expansive spectrum of chemical substances and heavy metals, nor the sheer volume of them. For the first time in our evolution, we are obligated to schedule regular cleansing of our environmental exposure.

Cleansing refers to processes within the body that facilitates the elimination of toxic substances, also referred to as detoxification. The scientific name for cellular cleansing is ‘autophagy’, it describes repairing processes, where our cells can recycle its parts and eliminate oxidised fragments. This spring cleaning process was a natural feature of our hunter-gatherer origins, due to regular periods of involuntary food scarcity.

You see, there are 2 opposing metabolic states in the body: anabolic (growth) and catabolic (cleanse). They are designed to complement each other, just like Yin and Yang. They achieve perfect homeostatic balance within our bodies, provided they are given sufficient opportunity to perform their roles. By outlining the requirements to activate cleansing, it will become evident that our bodies rarely get a chance to clean house.

1. Parasympathetic Activation

There are two sides of our autonomic nervous system, the sympathetic is referred to as the ‘flight or fight’ state. It engages our adrenal glands to secrete adrenaline and is responsible for physical activity and focus. Any form of stress, exercise, urgency, excitement or embarrassment will active it. On the other side, the parasympathetic is referred to as the ‘rest & digest’, which operates all the house-keeping functions, like; hormone regulation, immune balance, digestion, healing and … you guessed it – cleansing. Therefore, we must be in a relaxed state to permit the parasympathetic nervous system to be switched on, to facilitate any cleansing process.

2. Lymphatic Acid-Alkaline Balance

The lymphatic fluids of our bodies provide the internal environment of our immune system, referred to as the milieu of our biological terrain. There is a very fine line of pH, ranging between neutral (7) to slightly alkaline (8) to operate optimally. An acidic lymphatic system (pH lower than 7) will encourage microbes within it to pleomorphically develop into pathogenic forms, exposing our cells to more mycotoxins. Too alkaline is equally problematic, leading to muscle spasms, cramping and neurological issues.

3. Flowing Elimination Pathways

Once toxins are mobilised from their storage tissue, they need an unobstructed exit strategy. Most of the unpleasant symptoms associated with detoxing are derived from too many circulating toxins being liberated too quickly and not leaving the body fast enough. Pre-cleanse preparation that clears our primary elimination pathways of gut, kidney, lymph and skin will help avoid disruptive challenges. Constipation must be resolved before attempting any form of cleansing.

4. Fasting

Even though both digestion and cleansing are a function of the parasympathetic nervous system. The body cannot ignore food once ingested. Digestion of food draws many resources to breakdown, assimilate, absorb and circulate nutrients. This is an anabolic process designed to grow body tissue and repair damaged cells. Overriding any attempt of the body to cleanse toxins. When we avoid food, we invite the body to activate cleansing signals. This happens during quality sleep. However, our toxic load exceeds what can be eliminated each night.

Benefits of Cleansing

The benefits of cleansing are extensive and contribute greatly to elevating our quality of health and prevention and/or reversing of chronic metabolic diseases. It achieves this great feat by decongesting our lymphatic system and extracting disruptive toxins and heavy metals that antagonise cellular function. Without regular cleansing, toxins continue to accumulate over many years that calcify our arteries, harden tissues, sustain constant inflammation and disrupt neural circuitry. Many of the ailments associated with aging are a direct effect of a growing toxic load.

On a personal level, I’ve discovered some curious benefits from extended fasting. It appears to stimulate a metabolic reset. Like a recalibration of metabolic efficiency, producing more energetic buoyancy with an elevated, light feeling. Cognition is enhanced, dissolving any residual fogginess. The other fascinating experience is an obvious refreshed relationship with food and appetite. Hunger is naturally suppressed once ketones produced from fat burning rise sufficiently after three days of fasting. I describe it as food freedom, eating becomes a choice NOT a need.

How to Cleanse Safely

The safest way to improve your ability to cleanse effectively without health risks is to approach fasting in a very gradual fashion. Fasting is like any new activity, it benefits from practice that develops confidence over time. Initially, there will be some metabolic resistance to withdrawing from carbohydrate dependency. Think of fasting like taking your digestive system to the gym. Your fasting muscle will improve gradually over many workouts. There is a range of hacks that together will help make cleansing a joy that you look forward to every season.

They include:
– Drinking at least two litres of water throughout the day with unsweetened electrolytes This will keep your cellular function afloat and flush the unwanted towards the exit door.

– If you don’t have the luxury of lapping it up at the resort and need to continue working like the rest of us. Then you will require supplementing with nutrients to resource those activities. This will also buffer the impact of stress, reducing the extent and frequency of the flight or fight state. For this reason, it is helpful to schedule cleanses away from more intensive events.

– Keeping physically active in gentle ways, such as walking, swimming, rebounding, yoga, qigong, tai chi and light functional exercises will maintain metabolism and help flush the lymphatic system. Saunas are also helpful in the same way.

-Monitor the pH of your urine daily, using litmus test strips. You can correct acidic results by supplementing with bicarb soda. For those with hypertension or high salt diets, use potassium bicarbonate instead.

– Lastly, take some kind of binder to absorb the toxins being eliminated through the bowel. Things like activated charcoal, bentonite clay, zeolite and herbal fibre blend are all very effective.

I hope this summary of the benefits of cleansing has inspired you to give it a try. For those of you are that are on medication or have acute allergies, please come into the clinic for an appraisal of your capacity for cleansing and what preparation measures may be warranted.

Like all elements of health, personalising your cleansing protocol will offer the best results. I am very passionate about this topic and love coaching my clients through a process that suits their individual needs. We are about to launch our next cleanse between Monday 9th to Friday the 13th of November. If you would join our support group visit: https://www.facebook.com/groups/futureproofhealth

Health Benefits and Healing Powers of Vitamin C

Kimballe Robyzen — Thu, 29 Oct 2020 05:50:00 +0000

Vitamin C is an essential water-soluble nutrient for humans, which means it is required in our diet on a regular basis. We are one of the few species that cannot synthesis our own. This is due to lacking the enzyme (L-gulonolactone oxidase) required to convert glucose into ascorbic acid. The bioavailability of vitamin C depends on both intestinal absorption & renal excretion.

Our dependency on Vitamin C was first discovered during early boat voyages that extended beyond a month’s duration, which produced Scurvy disease. The symptoms of Scurvy demonstrate overt Vitamin C deficiency. These include; fatigue, muscle weakness, aching joints, poor wound healing, gingivitis, bleeding gums and emotional distress. Without Vitamin C, we eventually die of infection & uncontrolled bleeding … pretty dramatic!

The roles and actions of Vitamin C are exhaustive. It’s easy to see why we are so reliant upon it. Just to name a few of its main functions; antioxidant, antihistamine, collagen synthesis, bone and teeth growth, detoxification of heavy metals, vasodilation (open capillaries), cell membrane maintenance, adrenal & ovary function, sperm motility & regulates cholesterol metabolism.

When choosing food sources of Vitamin C, it is important to buy ‘seasonally’ fresh produce. Vitamin C content will be lost during extended refrigeration and transport. Seasonal fruits include Guavas, Kiwifruit, Strawberries, Citrus and Papaya. For daily Vitamin C rich foods, consider Leafy Greens, Broccoli, Tomato, Snow Peas, Cauliflower, Brussel Sprouts, Cabbage, Bell Peppers and Parsley.

The amount of vitamin C we require these days is considerably more than in previous years, due to elevated demands of stress, higher toxin exposure and compromised digestive capacity. Achieving sufficient dosages can be quite tricky. Both Magnesium and Vitamin C are hydrophilic, which means they have an osmotic ability to attract & absorb fluid. They are so effective that they are utilised as a healthy laxative alternative. Therefore, bowel tolerance will limit the amount we can absorb digestively.

Intravenous Vitamin C (available at BGH) is the gold standard for by-passing bowel tolerance to achieve medicinal levels in the blood. However, the newsflash is about a new nutritional technology that has produced Liposomal Vitamin C, which delivers ascorbic acid in a micro-lipid form. This form vastly improves assimilation and absorption rate, much higher up in the gastrointestinal tract. This new form of Vitamin C is … what all the fuss is about! Giving us access to a quite higher dosage range than ever before.

Vitamin C has become the poster child, during these days of essential immune resilience. Ensure that it is included in your Holistic Health Plan. Due to the water-soluble nature of Vitamin C, it is perfectly safe to supplement with every day. Maintenance dose for an adult is 1000mg twice per day. If you are suffering a cold, flu, respiratory condition or cancer, increase the dose to four times a day.

Thousands of nutrition and diet books are published every year promising solutions for weight-loss, diabetes, healthy-heart, detoxification, more energy and so on…

Perhaps you tried some of them and realised that they did not work out. And you may have also realised that many experts who tell you what to eat or not to eat are wrong.

To help you to find the best diet for you, our Naturopath Kimballe Robyzen recorded a short video to demystify this quest for the best diet.

This is what you’re going to learn:

0:23. Why there is no perfect diet?

1:15 What is the most common imbalance to our digestive system?

4 Key Secrets to Effectively Detox Yourself This Spring

Dr. Zung Rosita Vu (Price) — Sat, 03 Oct 2020 04:03:14 +0000

And find out one of my favorite supplements that I take right now…

Did you know that you could detoxify your home, emotions, and even relationship? Detox is not just purely physical cleansing only…

Every week I treat patients who need to detox – make their homes, bodies, and lives cleaner and more able to take on the world around them. Well, today let me talk to you about the four most important secrets that I know, which will make all the difference to you as you detox. And let’s face it – there’s no time like Spring to clean everything out and make a fresh start – in your life – and in your health.

You see, we are all exposed to toxins every day. They are not just in the workplace, public spaces, and industrial areas – but they’re also in our homes – as well as our relationships. Toxins are present in the food that we eat, the water that we drink, and even the air that we breathe – but did you know that life stress, your relationships with others, and even your emotions can be toxic? Because we are all exposed to such a broad range of toxins continually, I recommend that we all undertake regular physical, emotional, and relationship ‘cleansing’ – or detoxing.

Toxins are not just inconvenient – they can make you downright sick. Asthma, cancer, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, and depression are just a few of the many diseases that are associated with exposure to toxins. In fact, I regularly see patients who present with a broad range of symptoms, and upon evaluation and diagnostic testing, we uncover strong toxic exposure. Clearing these toxins goes a long way to help them recover. That’s why I wanted to discuss my four secrets to effective detoxing with you today.

First and foremost, I believe that detoxing must begin with decluttering your home.

1. Declutter your home

Our homes are where most of us spend much of our time after a busy day. So they must have a relaxing ambiance and should help us feel lighter, freer, more serene, and more focused. This just isn’t possible if things are cluttered. It’s important to know that detoxing is not just about what you can and can’t eat or drink, it should include every aspect of your life. And this starts with decluttering your home.

A cluttered home is toxic because it creates stressed feelings within us as we look at the mess and feel guilty that it’s not cleaner. Furthermore, our brains function best when our surroundings are clean, uncluttered, and organized. We process the information around us more effectively when there’s empty space and structure – it creates a sense of peace within our minds.

Decluttering means you are removing everything that is not necessary and anything that you don’t want anymore. As I have said in my previous articles, decluttering is the art of letting go. I know it’s difficult to let go at times, but you need to in order to give space for something better and different.

Use an empty box as an “Outbox” for things that you don’t want or need anymore.

My One Key Home Decluttering Tip!

All that you need is an empty box to use as an “Outbox.” Place it somewhere you will often see it. Today, get one thing from your closet that you don’t need or want anymore – something you haven’t used for the past six months or don’t plan to use in the next year. Repeat this every day. When the box is full, ‘donate’ or ‘delete’ it from your life by throwing it out. For more decluttering tips, read my article on Decluttering Your Home – Where to Start?

When you’re done cleansing your home, pay attention to your toxic emotions.

2. Declutter Your Emotions

Not many of us recognise the power of our emotions in affecting our health. But think about it for a moment… Remember a time when you felt incredible love for someone else – how did you feel health-wise? I bet your health felt great! Now, what about a time when you felt self-loathing, or hatred, or some other powerful, negative emotion towards yourself or someone else – can you think of a time? As you imagine that feeling, notice how it makes you feel physically. Does it make your tummy churn? Do you feel like you’re getting a headache? Or maybe you feel stressed and unsettled. If you felt any of these types of physical symptoms – either good or bad – you’ll know the power of emotion in affecting health.

But what can you do to declutter your emotions?

Remember to “Forgive, Focus, and Fee.”

My Key Tips to Decluttering Your Emotions…

I have three words for you to remember when decluttering your emotions: Forgive, Focus, and Feel…

Forgive. If someone has wronged you in the past, or you feel a strong disaffected emotion towards another person, forgive them (and yourself!). Take some quiet time to imagine them in front of you and ‘talk’ to them and explain to them what they did to hurt you – and how you want to declutter your emotions – and that you now want to forgive them. If you approach it authentically from your ‘heart’ – you’ll feel different – lighter and happier. If you then wanted to send them a loving card, note, email, phone call, or gift – just to send them some extra love, then do it.

Focus. I have a saying I use in my life and when I work with others, and it goes like this: ‘Where Focus Goes, Energy Flows, and Reality Shows’. This means that what we ‘focus’ on, shows up in our lives. Do you focus on your ill health? Do you focus on the negative aspects of relationships with others? Do you focus on what you don’t like about yourself (or others)? If so, then your energy will flow in that direction – and the results of that energy will ‘show up’ in your life. So, decide now to focus on one new, positive, empowering, exciting, fun thing. If previously you focussed on how sick you felt – now focus on all the times you feel ok, or well, or even great. Then watch what happens… Maybe those ‘great’ times will increase in frequency and duration. Remember – what you focus on you get – so focus on positive things and these will show up in your life.

Feel. We can ‘boot out’ our unhelpful emotions simply by replacing them with new ones. And this is my last tip for de-cluttering your emotions – replace unhelpful, old emotions with new ones – simply by engaging your ‘feeling’ power. By this, I mean that whenever you feel a negative emotion coming into your heart, simply say to yourself, ‘What would I rather feel instead?’ Then imagine a time that you felt that new, positive emotion – and your old emotion will be given the boot and the new one will take its place. Let’s use an example: Say you’re at work and a colleague says something that’s thoughtless and it gives you a feeling of emotional hurt. Ask yourself, ‘What would I rather feel instead?’ You may want to feel: joy, or forgiveness, or compassion, or empathy, or relaxed. Then just imagine a time you felt joyful, or relaxed, etc and hold onto that emotion for a few seconds – and notice that the old emotion has been simply replaced. Kinda fun eh?

Now, how about a toxic relationship? Have you heard about that? It’s also one aspect of life that we need to carefully address.

3. Declutter Your Relationships

All of us have relationships in our lives which we know aren’t good for us. They may make us not feel good about ourselves, cause us to feel stressed or angry, or even feel controlled by others. Well, these relationships are toxic to your health!!

But what can you do to declutter those relationships?

Re-define and re-set your unhealthy relationships simply by cutting energetic ties – and letting them re-establish in a more positive way.

My One Key Tip For Decluttering Your Relationships…

Cut Energetic Ties. I can almost hear you say, ‘Huh? What’s she on about?’ Let me explain… You see, we are all connected – emotionally and energetically. For example, have you ever had a time when you thought about someone and then they called you or popped in – right then? If so, you’ll understand the power of an energetic connection. In some relationships, these connections don’t serve our higher good – they simply aren’t healthy for us. We can re-define and re-set those relationships simply by cutting energetic ties – and letting them re-establish in a more positive way. This is how you do it:

Imagine you and the person you want to cut energetic ties are standing close to each other.
Look down and see fine strands of light connecting you both together – like fine spider webs made of light.
Imagine telling the other person that you respect them and that you’d like to re-establish your relationship with them in a more positive way. To do so, you’d like to cut your energetic ties and allow the relationship to reset itself in a more helpful way for both of you.
Then imagine you have a large knife, a sword, or a pair of scissors and cut those imaginary strands connecting you both. Watch the strands fall away, disconnecting you both.
Then watch the other person float away – and wish them the very best.

It doesn’t need to take much time – but you do need to set yourself up in a space and at a time where you can give it your full attention. Try it and see how differently you feel – and how differently they interact with you. I’ve had many patients who’ve tried this technique and as soon as they finished, they got a call from the other person. It was almost as if the other person felt that something had changed in their connection. Interesting stuff…

I know that today I’ve spoken much about decluttering your home, cleaning up your emotions, and addressing toxic relationships – but what about your physical health? There are so many things we can do together to help your body detoxify naturally. So, take the time to talk to your Beyond Good Health practitioner about nutritional tests and assessments, toxin analysis, and detoxifying strategies.

But, I wanted to share with you my Key Tip for Detoxifying Your Body – Calcium Bentonite. This if my fourth secret to powerful detoxification.

4. Deep cleanse using healing earth

Maybe you have heard about healing earth, which is 100% made from bentonite clay, potent clay that detoxifies and cleanses the gut. It enhances the overall health of the digestive system and acts at the same time as powerful antioxidant.

Basically, bentonite clay is made from aged and weathered volcanic ash. It has a strong negative electromagnetic charge that affects the pH level (acid-base balance) of the body. It also contains some essential minerals. Once this clay is mixed with water, it expands and becomes a highly porous substance capable of pulling toxins and metals out from the body cells and tissues like a magnet. This is how the detoxification mechanism of bentonite clay works internally.

It’s a very simple addition to any detoxification regime – and it’s one that will make a powerful difference to how well you detoxify your body.

So, there you have it – my four key secrets to effective detoxification: de-clutter your home; detox your emotions; detox your relationships; and use Calcium Bentonite to detox your body.

If you follow these four steps to detoxification and find success, I’d really love to hear about your experiences. Please drop me a line or talk to your Beyond Good Health practitioner about your detox experiences – we’re all keen to hear how well you’ve gone.
Good luck in your health journey – and know that we at Beyond Good Health are here to support you in every way.

All the best

Dr Dzung Price

A very important message from Dr Price

Dr. Zung Rosita Vu (Price) — Thu, 23 Jul 2020 00:31:52 +0000

Hi, I’m writing to you to talk to you about some very important changes I’m making in the way that I run my medical practice.

These changes will impact on the way in which I care for you, as well as my availability, so I wanted to write to you directly.

Reduced Clinical Hours

I have been working as a doctor for over 30 years. It has been exhilarating, challenging, extremely rewarding — and also very tiring. I have had fun pioneering new innovative ways of healing the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies and exploring the latest in healing technologies and modalities. I have had the amazing opportunity of caring and supporting the health of tens of thousands of wonderful patients like you – and it’s been the greatest blessing of my life.

But I also need a break… During the COVID-19 pandemic, I took time out to reflect deeply on the meaning and purpose of my life and my priorities. I hope you did too.

I always want to give you my very best and be on the top of my game every time I have a consultation. To be able to do that for the next few decades, I need to take some time off and re-calibrate my own life. I need time to do some deep soul searching, explore some other professional interests, consciousness exploration and focus on my own personal development so that I can always be at my best for you.

So, to help me do this, I’ve decided to reduce the number of hours I spend in the clinic for the time being. I know that this will make it harder for you to see me in the short term, but I promise that you will continue to get all the help that you need from the amazing practitioners at Beyond Good Health that you’ve always had. You will also meet our latest member, experienced integrative doctor Dr Daniel Ho who can service all your medical needs as he has recently joined our team from Sydney. As a medical team, he and I are very aligned and share the same values. I will still be here to support you and guide you — just not as frequently as before.

And once I’m refreshed again and able to give you my all, you’ll see me back perhaps in a new and innovative ways.

Move to more Online Consultations

Over this year in particular, I’ve been exploring with a group of key patients the prospect of running an online clinic. I know that it takes time for you to drive to the clinic, wait to see me, and then drive home. I know that your time is precious to you. So, I’ve been experimenting to see if the amazing effects we’ve been able to achieve in clinic consultations are also able to be achieved in an online format.

Not only have I and my patients been pleasantly surprised with what we’ve been able to achieve together, in many ways using an online consultation format has been superior to attending clinic.

Save Money and Time. Firstly, you save a lot of time (and money) driving to, waiting at, and driving home from the clinic — many of my patients have told me that they’ve been saving 2 – 3 hours for each appointment.

Increased Flexibility. Secondly, you have increased flexibility because you can have an appointment with me wherever you may be — on holidays, at home, overseas, in Australia — no need to carve out a big chunk of your day to allocate to coming to clinic.

Because of the really surprising results I’ve been getting with online consultations, and because it saves you money and time, and reduces your stress levels, I’ve decided to move the vast majority of my clinic consultations to online. It’s simple, fun and easy. So, I look forward to having my next appointment with you online.

Moving Outside Medicare

You may be aware that my approach to healing is very different from other doctors you’ve gone to — even other integrative doctors. This is because I always aim to achieve the greatest positive impact on your health as quickly as possible (my motto is ‘get you better, faster…). To do this, I often need to look beyond what others have explored — into areas that are to do with your emotions, your spirit, your past and even your purpose in life. To fully practice in my integrity in a way that allows me to feel relaxed, authentic and be able to explore the limits of what is possible in healing without the stress and scrutiny of regulatory bodies, I have decided that I need to move my practice outside of the Medicare system, which has been designed for conventional medical issues.

So, with effect immediately, I will no longer be offering consultations within the Medicare system. For you, unfortunately this means that you will no longer receive a Medicare Rebate for your consultations with me. I know that Medicare rebates help you with your family’s budget, and I know that many of us are struggling financially at present. However, I can no longer afford to risk my peace of mind to continue operating under the scrutiny of the medical system and regulatory bodies that I am no longer aligned with. In these circumstances, I can only encourage you to see Dr Daniel Ho instead if your needs fall within the Medicare system and guidelines.

And I want to help you…help you get better, faster — without extra financial stress…So I have decided that if you choose to continue to see me personally, I will offer the use of my latest technology, the Timewaver Med Scans (valued at $150) for only a $50 additional charge if it is performed during your consult with me (an extra saving of $100).

Thank you

I love serving you.

I love working with you to solve your health problems.

I love seeing your health change in powerfully positive ways.

I respect the bravery of many of my patients who face extremely challenging health issues.

You are my heroes.

I thank you for inspiring me, and for trusting me with the most precious gift you have in this life — your wellbeing and the wellbeing of your loved ones.

I look forward to continuing to working with you so that you can get better, faster — so you too can experience the true joy that comes from superlative wellbeing.

Yours in health

7 Easy Ways To Boost Your Energy Levels

Dr. Zung Rosita Vu (Price) — Mon, 01 Jun 2020 10:10:12 +0000

Are you feeling sluggish and fatigued? Looking for healthy ways to boost your energy levels? We all want energy but in this fast-paced world, we often rely on sugar, caffeine and many other quick yet unhealthy fixes for energy boost, only to crash later.

In this article, I’ll share with you seven easy ways you may use daily to have a sustainable energy boost!

The first thing you may do to have more energy is to eat more nuts.

#1 Eat more nuts to increase energy production

Nuts are rich in coenzyme Q10, which helps in energy production on each cell. It also contains Omega 3 fatty acids, a healthy fat that provides energy to the organs and muscles.

Nuts such as almonds, pecans, cashews and walnuts, are packed with protein, which is a great source to boost your energy level. Aside from proteins, nuts are also rich in coenzyme Q10 – a nutrient that helps energy production on each cell. More popular as CoQ10, it is also an antioxidant, protecting the cells from the harmful effects of free radicals.

Your body produces CoQ10 but the amount decreases as you age. With this said, it is better to supplement CoQ10 supply by eating high-energy food sources such as nuts.

Another reason why nuts are one of the primary foods to boost your energy is that it contains high Omega 3 fatty acids, a healthy fat that provides energy to the organs and muscles. Nuts are very healthy snacks if you want to keep going for the long haul. Mixed nuts will offer you a great amount of nutrients.

Another way to boost your energy levels is adding more complex carbohydrates in your diet.

#2 Add more complex carbs in your diet like sweet potatoes

Drop the white potatoes and start eating the healthier sweet potatoes instead. This naturally sweet vegetable will boost your energy level with its slow-releasing energy, which will surely delay hunger. Also, the B vitamins it contains will make your energy consistent throughout the day.

As one of the healthy foods to boost your energy level, sweet potato will never cause you that ‘post-lunch slump’ that you experience when eating the wrong kinds of carbs. Its rich fiber content can also help regulate blood sugar levels and leave you feeling full for longer.

Sweet potatoes come in different types. The orange-fleshed sweet potatoes contain an exceptional amount of beta-carotene. But the most nutritious is the purple-fleshed sweet potato as it is rich in anthocyanins, a powerful antioxidant commonly found in berries. Anthocyanins give the purple sweet potato its color.

Do you still need more energy? You may also want to include yoghurt in your daily dietary habit.

#3 Have some yoghurt for tyrosine supply

Yoghurt is rich in Tyrosine, a protein chemical that transforms adrenaline and dopamine, which keeps you energetic without causing sleep disorders.

Grab some yoghurt for a quick energy source. It’s creamy, tasty and flavorful and can be served as a dessert. The truth is, yoghurt is very healthy. It provides faster but longer energy boost ; thanks to its good ratio of carbohydrates and protein.

A good reason why yoghurt provides a steady source of energy is its high amount of tyrosine, a type of protein chemical that transforms into adrenaline and dopamine, giving you that ‘happy, stimulated’ feeling. Tyrosine can keep you awake and energetic without causing insomnia and other side effects to the nervous system like what coffee usually do.

What else? It also keeps your colon healthy because of its probiotics content, encouraging the growth of good bacteria and helps reduce the risk of colon cancer.

The next thing you may do to boost your energy is use coconut oil.

#4 Use coconut oil for metabolism and energy boost

Coconut oil is considered ‘healthy fat’ because it is made up of medium-chain fatty acids that are delivered directly to your liver, which turn into an instant source of boosted energy.

Included in the list of top energy-boosting foods is coconut oil. Coconut oil, in its purest state, is considered ‘healthy fat’ because it is made up of medium-chain fatty acids that are delivered directly to your liver. When this happens, it turns into an instant source of boosted energy.

The energy boost that you will get from coconut oil is probably the cheapest and simplest way to enhance your performance naturally, both in sports and leisure. A teaspoon of coconut oil added to any meal can make you stay fuller for hours and prevent sugar cravings.

On top of the increased energy levels, coconut oil also provides a lasting metabolism boost. Likewise, eating healthy fats such as coconut oil is a good way to increase your ability to cope up with stress and promote a balanced hormonal system.

Also, you should eat more leafy vegetables, particularly kale if you want to have a sustainable energy throughout the day.

#5 Choose energy-generating and vitamin-rich leafy vegetables like kale

Kale is rich in B vitamins that helps the body generate more energy.

Leafy veggies play a big role in your diet. However, not all leafy greens are made equal. One of the best leafy foods to boost your energy level is kale. Kale, a staple vegetable in Brassica family ( same plant family as broccoli and cabbage), stands out from others when it comes to increasing your energy and providing essential nutrients.

As a superfood, kale boasts many health benefits. It is rich in vitamin A, helps the sinus lining stay clear for easy breathing and reduce inflammation. The ‘Vitamin Boost’ doesn’t end there as it is packed with Vitamin C, good for collagen production, neutralizing free radicals and strengthening the immune system.

Moreover, kale contains exceptional amount of B vitamins that will help your body generate more energy while its high fiber content will keep you fuller for longer, avoiding energy crashes.

Not only that! Always check the protein content of your energy food sources too. High-protein containing foods are great energy boosters.

#6 Increase your intake of top protein sources

When choosing foods to boost your energy level, one of the major factors to consider is the protein content. On top of the list of very good sources of natural protein are eggs. A lot of evaluation scales for measuring protein use egg proteins as their basis. It is because of the protein content and digestibility of egg. When evaluated against different protein measures such as digestibility, efficiency ratio, amino acid score, egg protein places consistently on top, even against other protein sources such as red meat.

Egg is also rich in leucine, an essential protein nutrient that is important in controlling sugar use in bones and muscles and promoting muscle healing from injury. Compared to other protein sources, eggs are relatively inexpensive option.

If you’re a vegetarian, the top alternative source of protein is quinoa.

Known as one of the best foods to boost your energy, quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is a high-energy grain that has been consumed by the Incas centuries ago. They used this special grain to boost up their stamina and endurance, allowing them to run for long distances and even at high altitudes.

Quinoa contains all the 9 essential amino acids similar to milk and is also rich in calcium, iron, zinc, manganese, magnesium and potassium.

As a high-energy food, this grain from South America contains complete protein. What does it mean? Well, it shows that quinoa contains all the 9 essential amino acids similar to milk. And not only that, it is a rich source of important minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, manganese, magnesium and potassium.

Since it is gluten-free, it is not heavy in your tummy. Switching to gluten-free grains like quinoa aids in effective weight loss as well. Also, it has low glycemic index, which could explain its benefits in weight management.

Last but not the least, try some herbs that are energy boosters.

#7 Take energy-boosting herb supplements

It’s undeniable that the busy lifestyle of this generation compromises body nourishment at times. Sometimes, your daily activities are overwhelming and no matter how much you eat, it seems your energy is still not enough. So that’s where energy-boosting supplements come in. However, I won’t suggest energy drinks here as they have side effects or other quick fixes that only provide short-lasting energy supply. I’d rather recommend natural energy sources like herbs, which provides long-lasting and sustainable energy.

The herbs Ashwagandha, Tribulus Terrestris, Panax Ginseng and Damiana are well-known energy-boosters.

Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen. It energises the body whenever necessary during the day but it relaxes and calms your nerves to help you have a restful sleep at night. This herb supports athletic performance and endurance activities or exercises.

Tribulus Terrestris

Tribulus Terrestris on the other hand is a liver tonic. This means that it helps in breaking down fats and cholesterol to energy and certain hormones that boost physical performance, strength and stamina. Besides, too much fat can inhibit the liver from functioning properly.

Panax Ginseng

Meanwhile, Panax Ginseng (also known as Asian Ginseng) is one of the most popular herbs worldwide nowadays mainly due to its multiple health benefits, one of which is its ability to improve energy levels. In fact, in one of the studies conducted by Mayo Clinic, as cited by Medical News Today, wherein post treatment and undergoing treatment cancer patients were on ginseng, the findings revealed that the patients’ general energy levels increased.

Damiana

Damiana is another energy tonic herb. Although, it’s been popular in Mexico as an aphrodisiac, an herb that increases sexual libido, it has energy boosting effect as well. This herb contains flavonoids, a substance that helps decrease fat absorption and increase your energy expenditure. So instead of storing fats in your body, it is used as an energy source with the help of flavonoids.

The easiest way to get these herbs in the right combination and dosage is through CHI Super Tonic Ayurvedic Herbs Powder or B Active for Her Capsules. These are herbal blends that contain any of those energy-boosting herbs mentioned above. Aside from energy enhancement, these supplements have additional health benefits as the energy-boosters were combined with other effective wellness herbs.

The CHI Super Tonic Ayurvedic Herbs powder contains organic Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Triphala and Yashtimadhu powder. It is also imprinted with complex homeo vibrational information that enhances energy, improves immune function and promotes health and well being. This herbal formula can also help in relieving stress, removing blood and body toxins (detoxify), enhancing digestive function, cleansing the colon, supporting weight loss, enhancing memory and fertility as well as libido, and alleviating menstrual symptoms.

The B Active for Her Capsules contains the energy-boosting herbs Tribulus Terrestris, Damiana and Panax Ginseng. Aside from that, this herbal blend has Ginko biloba, Shatavari, Licorice and Wild Yam. The formula is also enriched with tyrosine, the key substance that makes yoghurt an effective energy booster that was discussed earlier in item #3. B active for Her is imprinted with complex homeo vibrational information V Active for Her D30, which boost energy, sexual libido, immune function and general well being.

Both Super Tonic Ayurvedic Herbs and B Active for Her are available at Beyond Good Health Clinics and CHI Health Online Store.

Get Rid Of Your Limiting Beliefs, Become a Healthier You, Achieve Everything You Want in Life

Dr. Zung Rosita Vu (Price) — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 02:11:43 +0000

Are your beliefs creating your disease?

Do you experience disease, struggle or ongoing challenges to health?
Does your life seem too hard or emotionally overwhelming?
Do you want to change but the old patterns never go away?
Are you subconsciously sabotaging what you really want in life?
Are you ready to learn how to change?

How Beliefs Affect Your Health?

A belief is simply a thought that you have accepted as real. The beliefs in your mind have already created the situation that you are facing now. In essence, what you believe will be true for you.

New science is finding that recreating your beliefs should be the very first crucial step to health. In this article, you will learn how beliefs create disease and a simple 3 steps to change them from the inside out.

Beliefs Create Your Reality

The beliefs held in your subconscious mind run over 96% of the situations in your life. The programs control how you see yourself and the world around you, how you walk and talk and even how much money you make. Your subconscious works 24 hours a day to create the story of your life.

As low as 1% of your thoughts are generated from the conscious mind.

Research shows that it is the beliefs embedded within the subconscious mind that determine your state of health. This means that if you believe you should be sick, then you will be. If you believe you are happy, or sad, then you will be. It is the beliefs in your mind that create your state of being.

A single belief has the power to create disease in your life.

Dr. Bruce Lipton, a leading cell biologist and medical doctor, has studied the impact of the mind over the body for over 20 years. In his popular lecture ‘The Biology of Belief’, Bruce says: “The mind is the primary cause of disease on the planet today… if we all knew how to take charge of changing our beliefs, 95% of the population should be living healthy, happy lives.”

“The mind is the primary cause of disease on the planet today… if we all knew how to take charge of changing our beliefs, 95% of the population should be living healthy, happy lives.”

Would it be fair to say that with the right training, you could change your mind and change your life?

The only way to truly take charge of your health is to change the beliefs that have caused the disease in the first place.

Where Do Beliefs Come From?

Many of the beliefs in the mind are preconditioned. From the moment of conception you are downloading beliefs about your environment, your identity and your role in life. These beliefs can come from:

The mother (through hormonal communication in the womb)
The genetic line (through the DNA)
Childhood experience
Ancestral beliefs

Up until the age of 6, children are in a trance-like state, learning new subconscious programs and absorbing information like a sponge. This is so that they can learn the best way to deal with life.

For example, let’s meet a boy named Tim, playing in the toy store. Tim is 6 years old, behaving noisily and demanding a toy.

“I want this one!” he says. “Can I have it? Can I have it now?”
His mother, nearing the end of her tether, finally snaps. “
“Tim, you don’t deserve a toy, carrying on like that!”
Tim learns an important lesson: “You don’t deserve”, and this becomes a program in his mind.”

This leads to an important point: unless you have changed your beliefs during life, much of the experience that you are having right now is likely defined by the same beliefs that you formed as a child.

Are they serving you? Is your life working the way you want it to?

How Do Beliefs Work?”

Beliefs only form when you take on something as being real. As a child, everything that mum or dad said probably appeared to be real. Behaviour and belief is strongly embedded by the time you learn how to independently discern which information is true. You are literally given an entire framework for how life works by the time you step into your own two shoes.

In this way, everyone sees life differently because everyone’s interpretation of life is different, based on beliefs. Unique beliefs mean unique interpretation.

To use Tim as an example, he went on to become the owner of a multi-million dollar international franchise, just to prove to his parents that he was worth something! Of course, none of this happened consciously. All Tim knew was an aching sensation of shame that reminded him daily that he needed to work harder, to be worth more.

Yet still, the belief plays in his mind. “You do not deserve that.”

Even with his entire business empire, Tim still FEELS unworthy. Forty years of stress and hard work have compounded and he has a heart attack on his 40th birthday.

Every belief drives a behaviour. If the beliefs that you have are not saying good things about you or about life, the behaviour that you create can lead to disease.

Our beliefs of life are the primary cause for our behaviour.

The Emotional Link

Basically, every belief that you have is an opinion about life that you have taken to be true. So which ones are right, and which ones are faulty? Which beliefs might be creating disease?

For every issue or disease there is a particular emotional pattern that links back to the corresponding belief. This emotional pattern could be called the “emotional response” or “trigger”. A trigger is an automatic biological behaviour based on the interpretation of life by the beliefs in the subconscious mind.

You will likely recognise a trigger as an emotional pattern that throws you off your centre. It may be anger, rage, fear or sadness. Usually a trigger will send you into a mode of protection, stress or some sort of reaction.

The common theme is that you don’t know why you are behaving like this, you don’t know why this is happening to you. Perhaps it even appears as normal, like you have never known any different. You don’t know why because all the reaction is happening in the subconscious, below your awareness.

The emotional patterns and triggers can serves as an entry point to access the programming that is running the show, so that you can see what is going on and change the beliefs that are no longer serving you.

How Beliefs Affect The Body?

Your body is an immense and amazing community of over 50 trillion cells.

Because your subconscious mind and beliefs talk directly with your cells, you can see that your mind is like a government system for your cells. Just like a government in the real world, if the mind is good, the cells are happy. If it is full of negative beliefs, the cells are stressed and unhappy.

Unhappy cells riot and cause disease. The type of beliefs creating the disturbance correlate directly with the type of disease the cells create.

For example:
“I am defeated” can lead to diabetes.
“I am not worthy of receiving love” can cause heart attack.
“I am unsupported” can cause lower back issues.

Can you imagine that a single negative thought could begin a spiral into disease? Yet the trick is not to go belief hunting, but to listen to your body talking and learn the beliefs that are creating the disharmony so that you can change them into something new.

With practice and a pure intent, you can tune in to your community of cells and ask them what they need and what they want you to change.

Tuning into your body is a process of quieting the mind and listening to your cellular intelligence. If you simply sit and bring the issue or disease to your mind and ask your cells what is going on, your cells will answer, directly into your mind or with a feeling or sensation in the body.

This process is best done in a quiet space where you will not be interrupted.

Diabetes As An Example

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the production of insulin in the body. Insulin is a hormone manufactured by the pancreas to convert sugars and starches into energy. Type 1 and type 2 diabetes have no recognised cure by the mainstream medical profession.

The current recognised treatment for diabetes is the medication and/or the injection of insulin into the body, along with blood sugar level monitoring, and a balanced and healthy lifestyle. This is a band aid treatment designed to cope with the disease, not heal it. Although it has saved many lives, this treatment does not consider looking at the possible belief behind the disease.

To get to the cause of the issue we can study the emotional link that presents itself. We can also look at the meaning in how this occurs as particular patterns of experience in the life of the patient.

The lack of ability to convert sugar into energy means that the patient will likely have trouble recognising and processing the sweetness of life. Good experiences may happen around them that seem unreachable. Therefore, there will be a feeling of missing out, lack and disconnection. They may need other people or situations to point out to them that they are actually having fun.

6 Ways to Boost Your Immune System And Protect Yourself

Dr. Zung Rosita Vu (Price) — Wed, 11 Mar 2020 03:59:01 +0000

Did you know that in about 80 per cent of cases the lung disease Covid-19 (coronavirus) is relatively mild? This means, the majority of infected people only have mild cold symptoms, and many previously infected people are now healthy again.

In this article, I’ll share 6 ways your body can successfully fight the coronavirus. Many people worry because there are no drugs to treat the coronavirus, however, in most cases the human immune system can effectively fight off the pathogen itself.

For starters, a virus like the Sars-CoV-2 needs cells to reproduce. People ingest the new virus through the nose, mouth or mucous membranes. Once in the body, they can cause an infection named Covid-19 or coronavirus disease. In general, the virus is very contagious.

It is also evident the coronavirus is far more dangerous for the elderly. To give you an example, the recent strong outbreak in North Italy showed a mortality rate of 4%, which is higher than in South Korea. The reason for this surprisingly high percentage is that around 30% of the age population in North Italy is older than 65.

The following facts may also surprise you – so far, less than 10% of all infected individuals showed complications. And most of them were older than 65 and had pre-existing conditions. The average age of all coronavirus related death cases so far is 80.

I don’t want to overwhelm you with statistics, however, the best way to counter this current mass hysteria spread by the media is presenting clear facts.

Let me just recap here. The coronavirus is highly contagious, but it is evident that the progression of symptoms depends on many factors such as age group, pre-disposition of a disease, weak immune system and stress levels.

6 Ways to Boost Your Immune System

1. Apply Common Sense
The best treatment is prevention. Cultivating a strong immune system before illness attacks is the best way to go. As most viral illnesses that cause outbreaks are airborne, make sure you avoid crowded and closed places. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom. When you are in public places, avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

2. Stay Calm and Relaxed
Don’t pay too much attention to mainstream media as their profits feed on easy clickbait headlines spreading fears and bad news. We all know stress weakens your immune system. Practice meditation and deep relaxed breathing. Mindful practices such as Qigong, TaiChi or Yoga are great to balance and strengthen your energies and immune system. In the end, laugh more, and worry less.

3. Remove Existing Roadblocks to Health
-Infections
Address existing bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections. They not only pollute the body by increasing its toxic load and inflammation levels, but also weaken the body’s defence mechanisms. Book with one of our BGH practitioners to help you with this important step.

-Toxins
Help your body to detox naturally. Remove processed foods, GMOs, pesticide-laden foods, and toxic products. Avoid alcohol and excess of coffee. Ask our specialized practitioners to help you to detox your body safely and gently.

-Electromagnetic Pollution
Cells in the body react to EMFs as potentially harmful, just like to other environmental toxins, including heavy metals and toxic chemicals. Therefore, reduce your cell phone use: Turn your cell phone off more often. Reserve it for emergencies or important matters.
Turn off your wireless router overnight. This is easy to do and allows your body to relax during sleep and reset your energy levels.

4. Eat a Healthy Diet
This is perhaps the perfect time to cook at home and prepare the perfect food to strengthen your body’s immunity to bacteria and virus. Eat fresh and avoid processed foods. Cut out canned drinks, pastries, biscuits and such. A few grams of sugar can disable your white blood cells’ ability to fight infections for hours. It is well known that garlic and onion are rich in antioxidants and selenium. Garlic is antibacterial and antiviral.
Add probiotics to your diet. Friendly bacteria attack pathogenic bacteria and fungi and can trigger white cell reactions to invaders.

5. Exercise to Boost Your Immune System
Not only exercise makes you feel better, but it also strengthens your natural defence system. As you exercise, your blood circulates through the body, transporting nutrients to all the organs and muscles. Be mindful with your exercises and avoid too intense workouts, as it may weaken your immune system in the short term. Listen to your body and be aware that even walking some kilometres for a couple of times a week helps your lymph system cleanse impurities to boost your immune system.

6. Enjoy Nature
Nature is perhaps one of the best immune stimulators. The fresh air at the beach or forest stimulates your immune system. Additional deep breathing increases oxygen in your blood.

So there you have it, 6 Ways to Boost Your Immune System And Protect Yourself. I wish for you all to stay in great health and if you need an appointment with one of my highly trained practitioners, please do not hesitate to give us a call on 07 5522 8902.

Until then be empowered and take care…

Dr Price

5 Tips to Help with Anxiety

Lynne Wu — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 05:21:53 +0000

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health issues in our modern living. When I started practicing psychological counselling 20 years ago, the majority of my clients had depression issues. In the last 5 to 10 years I have seen a significant increase in patients with Generalized and Social Anxiety.

Personally, I believe that our society’s rapid changes along with the high tech developments over the last few decades have played a major role in the epidemics of anxiety. There is no doubt the Information high technology and computerisation have brought us much convenience in life. In a way, it has also broken down the cultural barriers between countries and people, giving us a sense of “oneness” as a global village. However, the flip side to such rapid changes is that we are forever inundated with huge amount of information, rapid changes in trends within a much shorter time frame force us to readjust. These changes often spin us off our sense of balance and control. The result is – anxiety.

As our daily living are strongly linked and influenced by I.T. and other high techs, our modern human behaviours and expectation seem to mimic the computer, making our living quite “robotic”. With the invention of ‘Photoshop’ and many other intelligent programs, we now can easily touch up our images to make them “perfect” and “impeccable” within split seconds. However, in reality, to achieve such a “flawless” body shape and image is literally impossible, or that it takes a long time. The over-emphasis on speed, image, perfection, goal-driven orientations in life often leave us feeling “inadequate”, “guilty” and “highly strung” with “high control” which results in us feeling “embarrassed” and “out of control”.

In one documentary, it is reported that in Seoul, South Korea, there are around 500 cosmetic surgery shops alone! With social media, we invite family and strangers the same into each other’s privacy, only to be obsessed and become even more paranoid about others’ opinions. With many public-media’s manipulated “overnight success stories”, we create a whole generation believing that “taking short cuts” and “over-ambition” are the way to go in life which can result in confusion, disillusion and panic leading us to taking even more control, being even more highly strung and anxious as a vicious cycle.

In addition to the above factors, it is not uncommon that after prolonged or a series events of unresolved trauma of loss, grief, sickness or abuse that the survivors feel a complete loss of faith in life that they develop severe anxiety and panic attacks.

Common symptoms of Generalized anxiety (anxiety without specific reasons) include:

– Excessive worrying
– Negative dwelling
– Exaggerated or over-generalized fears with anticipation of worse-feared scenarios
– Fear or worry-induced symptoms such as headache, dizziness, shortness of breath, dry throat, dry mouth, chest pain, pounding heart, stomach discomfort or pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, shaking, physical numbness, tingling, cold chills , hot flushes, fears of dying, fears of going crazy etc.

While most of us enjoy the convenience of self-diagnosis through Google; to avoid inducing further unnecessary anxiety, it is strongly recommended that a consultation with a qualified mental health professional is a must for any proper diagnosis and needed treatments.

The following are a few simple tips for early signs of mild anxiety:

Cultivate self-acceptance to replace the “fault-picking” “lack-focus” and “criticism of self and others”.
Realistic expectations to counter –balance the perfectionistic traits.
Make conscious efforts to keep away from toxic environments whether that be mentally, emotionally and physically.
Use “telescopic view” to replace “microscopic view” in life – e.g. Ask yourself, “If I were to to review this event or situation on my death bed, would it carry the same significance? Or do I have other better priorities to attend to for wellbeing and happiness?”
Prioritise important things in life by keeping it simple to match the core values meaningful to you

Whilst the above simple tips may help to ease anxiety symptoms to some degree, the underlying causes of anxiety vary from case to case, therefore it is important to seek further professional psychological guidance and support to address unresolved trauma, loss, grief, bullies, and physical, emotional or sexual abuse as applicable.
