A primary concept we want to myth-bust through Health & Wellness coaching is the impact of genetics on both our health, our illness and more broadly, our lives! Commonly, our society assumes that genes control our lives and the risk of genetic illness is high. This reliance on genes-as-cause of illness and on family history being … Read more
Omega-3 is a class of fatty acids that are beyond ESSENTIAL for vibrant, extraordinary human health. They are essential because we cannot manufacture them ourselves from other fat sources, and we cannot convert vegetable sources very efficiently – our enzyme systems aren’t setup for this purpose. Fat is a critically important nutritional requirement for your … Read more
At Noosa Junction Chiropractic we argue that all stress can be classed as either a toxicity or deficiency (or both) – children’s health now suffers from such high levels of these stressful stimuli that the impact as individuals and as a population segment to stark. We know the impact of obesity. We know that what … Read more
Levels of internal acidity are normally kept within very tight confines because this impacts cellular function to such a great degree. This is one of the clearest examples of ‘homeostasis’ in the human body – where products are leached from bone to balance out acidity if it rises too high. Our bodies are SUPPOSED to … Read more
Many people prioritise or judge their own lives (or others) based on a “Have To” belief system or mentality.

Chiropractic subluxation leads to immobilisation of spinal joints. These joints are richly concentrated with the nerve receptors that ‘instruct’ the brain where the body is in space – the literally give the brain perception of YOU. When we think of immobilisation the image in our mind is usually something related to the larger joints or … Read more
Stress levels in our body – particularly if the body or brain is in an overwhelmed state where it cannot effectively dissipate or adapt to this stress – can have a harmful or depressing effect on our ‘immunocompetence’ – the ability of our immune system to do it’s job and fight internal and external threats. … Read more
The impact of modern living choices on our posture is stark and significant. Poor posture is both initiated or maintained by many of our behaviours and use of personal devices (phones etc.) AND by the stress-load in our bodies leading to dominance of our ‘fear and protection’ neurological reaction as an attempt to keep us … Read more
It is clear common-sense that movement is valuable and necessary to promote optimal health – including skeletal health. The stresses of gravity, ‘push-pull’ of muscles, resistance and weight-bearing in an upright position all contribute to a ‘sensory’ load that keeps our bony system healthy.
