Fatigue
Has 2011 completely exhausted you?
We are living stressful, busy lives, so it is normal to feel tired sometimes. But persistent tiredness that doesn’t resolves itself after some rest and relaxation is common amongst a majority of our clients. This type of fatigue is often misunderstood, even dismissed if there is no easily identifiable cause but it is important to find and address the cause.
What Causes Fatigue?
• Factors that may contribute to fatigue include:
Low iron levels
Inflammation
Infection
Hormonal imbalances
Excess body fat
Unstable blood sugars
Stress (physical and emotional)
Toxicity
Mitochondrial dysfunction
Poor sleep
Diet
Inactive lifestyle
Small Intestinal Bacterial
Digestion, liver issues and Overgrowth (SIBO) malabsorption
Essentially, when your body systems are not working at their optimum levels, this can affect you both physically and mentally, ultimately having an effect on all facets of your life. However there are many herbs and nutrients that can help you.
The solution
Depending on what is the cause of your fatigue will determine how we go about helping you.
Nutrient deficiency:
Magnesium, malic acid, carnitine, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), lipoic acid, essential fatty acids and B vitamins: support cellular energy production and give your energy levels a boost.
Diet:
The quality and balance of the food and water you are consuming will have a considerable impact on your energy and vitality. Avoid overly processed foods and eat organic if possible and natural foods if available . Ask us about how dietary changes can help provide you with more sustainable energy levels.
Regular physical activity:
Being active can help address some of the underlying problems causing your fatigue.
Holidays:
We all the chance to have a well deserved break for R&R, so make the time to enjoy being with loved ones and recharge your batteries.
If you want to return from your holidays with more bounce in your step, then ask us today about tailored dietary, lifestyle and exercise advice to help you leave fatigue behind!

TESTIMONIALS
"Marisa presents a professional caring manner that encourages trust in her, she has a very positive attitude and is very knowledgeable. The atmosphere of the clinic is conducive to relaxation and all personnel are helpful and caring.
My expectation was to have a naturopath to take over the management of my chronic condition and this has meet both my needs and expectations.
It is excellent to have email contact so that when meds run out you are able to communicate and get replacements and it is also good to give Marisa feedback on the improvements in the condition being treated.
I have SLE (Lupus), Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS), Chronic Fatigue (CFS) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). I take a lot of medication and have done so for nearly 3 years. Since working with Marisa the Chronic fatigue is gone, the brain fogginess that goes with FMS has gone and I am able to concentrate again. All these and the sleep issues associated wit FMS were almost disabling due to the pain that lack of stage 4 sleep would create. None of the normal pain relief would work for this pain. My sleep has now improved so much that if I do have a bad nights sleep it is not wiping me out and I feel that most of the time I am getting sleep that is beneficial. The pain is abated as an extra bonus.
My reason for attending was to have someone drive and manage a path to help me recover from my conditions as conventional medicine is unable to cure SLE. Since attending there has been a marked change in my condition and the changes are all good. Marisa inspires with her quiet, positive attitude and the results speak for themselves.
I used to spend Friday evening to Monday morning trying to recover enough to face another week at work. I was in constant pain which was only relieved by taking a sleeping tablet (or 2) to ensure I got the correct Stage 4 sleep. No more, Friday evening I have excellent energy levels and this carries through the weekend and the week. My concentration levels are back to normal and the pain is nearly all gone.
Thank you very much Marisa!

""We have told all our friends and family about Naturopathy and what great results we have had . . . more than we could wish for.
Our 2 year old daughter Freya was following her growth line on the weight chart but she never seemed that interested in food, did not have a big appetite and meal times were becoming increasingly stressful for all of us. After just one visit and a couple of days taking the herbal medicine Freya was coming to us and asking for food, something she had never done before. She is using words like "delicious" and "more" when she is eating rather than saying "no more" or "finished". It is no longer a stressful process trying to get her to eat. It also meant Freya was no longer waking up so often at night, which has been great for the whole family – we all have more energy.
Very impressed with how quickly it worked. I thought we would be spending a lot of time and money before we found the right herbal medicine for Freya but the one Marisa suggested worked first time.
Since taking the herbal medicine it’s like having a different child in the house and meal times are enjoyable for the whole family. It’s really heartbreaking watching your child refuse to eat and knowing that she will be awake half the night wanting a formula feed to make up for the lack of food during the day, the changes we have seen in Freya over such a short period have been amazing and meant the whole family is now getting some well deserved sleep. I wish we had tried this a year ago!
The results speak for themselves Freya went from 11.3 kg to 11.7 kg in just 2 weeks.
Thank you so much you have made 3 people much happier than they imagined possible from a herb! And given us all a decent night sleep."
Michele - Mum
“I have been very pleased with Marisa's consultations. She is very thorough, professional and caring and takes the time to really sort out the best treatment which has proven to be really effective. Marisa's support during and between consultation has been excellent. I like the cautious approach, the monitoring and I really appreciate the time set aside just for me.
When I started, I wasn’t sure what the result would be then Marisa suggested a plan of treatment that I have been very happy with. I now have much more energy which is very important to me in trying to balance my job and my hobbies!
I have recommended Marisa to my friends & colleagues!”
Lynne Horwood - Research Consultant

A NATUROPATHIC CONSULTATION
Naturopathy is much more than simply replacing drugs with natural remedies. It is a system that marries ancient wisdom with modern science.
Effective, healing and cleansing natural medicines are utilised to promote wellness and prevent disease by stimulating the body’s own immune and healing responses.
Benefits of Naturopathic wellness care include a holistic approach, minimal or no side effects, cost effectiveness and direct personalised treatment of the cause of the condition.
A naturopath will spend up to an hour recording a thorough medical case history, including dietary evaluation, and performing diagnostic techniques such as iridology and any appropriate physical examinations.
This information is pooled together to arrive at specific therapeutic goals for each client, which are implemented through the use of natural therapeutics, dietary advice and lifestyle changes.

THERAPIES AVAILABLE
Naturopathy
Naturopathy or "nature cure" includes the practise of Nutrition, Herbal Medicine and Homoeopathy. Naturopathy places an emphasis on a preventative approach to healing and treating the cause/s of a disease state.
Herbal medicine
Herbal medicine uses the most universal and oldest known form of medicine since mankind appeared on Earth. Herbalists mainly prescribe concentrated extracts of European or North American herbs (and increasingly, Australian grown herbs are now being used) or tablets and capsules of the dried, powdered herbs.
Homoeopathy
Homoeopathy is a very precise system of medicine whereby minute doses of a substance is made potent by a special dilution process, so that the medicine is low in concentration but high in energy. One of the principles of Homoeopathy is that individuals vary in their response to an illness according to their basic temperament. So a homoeopath does not automatically prescribe a specific remedy for a specific illness. Instead a Homoeopath tries to determine the patient's temperament and responses and so prescribes on a more individual basis. Patients suffering from the same disease often require different remedies. Conversely, another group of patients with different diseases may all benefit from the same remedy.
Nutritional & dietary advice
Naturopaths believe there is a strong relationship between diet and food sensitivities to health problems and therefore focus on balanced quantities of the basic building blocks of health i.e. vitamins and minerals, proteins, carbohydrates and fats in the diet.
Iridology
Iridology is the examination of the iris - the coloured part of the eye. Every organ of the body corresponds with a section of the iris. Through various markings, signs and discolourations in the iris, inherited weaknesses and strengths become apparent. Although Iridology cannot diagnose a disease it can point out specific areas of the body that are overactive or underactive. Iridology is a safe, non-invasive and painless tool that naturopaths use to detect underlying signs of developing disease at the earliest stage so individuals can be advised of preventative strategies.
Ultra Lite & Ketosystem Weight loss management
These weight management systems focus on adjusting the proteins, carbohydrates and fats in the diet so that the body switches to burning fat for energy. Through support and monitoring dietary habits are learnt throughout the program so that individuals can maintain their goal weight.
Ear Candling
Ear candling is a safe, painless, relaxing, effective & therapeutic technique
Ear candling has at its foundation two primary physical actions:
1. The slight under pressure inside the candle and the vibration of the rising air column serve to gently massage the ear drum and promote secretion from the sinuses there by regulating ear pressure.
2. Locally applied warmth stimulates the circulation, invigorates the immune system and improves the flow of lymph.
Ear Candling can help:
- Sinusitis
- Ringing in the ears
- Hearing loss
- Removal of excess wax in the ears
- Headaches & migraines
- Vertigo
- Meniere’s Syndrome
- Nausea
- Irritability
- Nervous tension & stress
Wellness technology applications
Wellness technologies are safe, non-chemical and non-invasive forms of technology that can help to promote the optimum environment for a healthy body, reduce stress and discomfort, improve sleep and energy levels and provide protection against electromagnetic pollution.
Other services offered at Melbourne Naturopathic Wellness:
Remedial massage, acupuncture / traditional chinese medicine, shiatsu therapy, chiropractor & myotherapy.
