Coolum Naturopath's Centre

I love to help people with depression because I suffered from it for 11 years. This was one of the principal reasons that attracted me to study Natural Medicine. I have not taken an anti-depressant for 41 years and I have never been happier. IF YOU HAVE DEPRESSION, I WOULD LOVE TO HELP YOU BECAUSE I KNOW HOW IT FEELS.

I strongly disagree with those who say, ‘What you eat has nothing to do with depression.’ Everything you put in your mouth affects every part of your body because once food is absorbed it becomes a chemical messenger that nourishes or damages cells: and your cells are the architecture that either holds you together or pulls you apart both physically and mentally. If you pour just a teaspoonful of soft drink into the fuel tank of your car, see if it runs smoothly. Well, the workings of your brain are much more intricate than the workings of any car, so imagine what the constant intake of substandard food laced with a myriad of chemicals does to your brain chemistry. This is why excessive intake of alcohol, sugar and recreational drugs are so damaging.

Long term, poor eating habits cause tissue damage and inflammation at an invisible cellular level. This combined with high stress levels are in my opinion, the trigger for many cases of Depression.

Because I am a Holistic Health Practitioner, whenever I see a new patient, one of the questions I ask is, “Out of ten, can you tell me how happy you are?” In far too many cases the answer to this question is very alarming and has inspired me to write a new book about Happiness. I believe a measure of depression is someone who is not receiving adequate pleasure from life to compensate for the tough times we all have periodically.

I can show you how to eat to give every part of your body a chance to be healthier, including your brain, and I can show you a very effective method of combating stress.

When I am treating patients with depression I use TGA Approved natural substances and Herbal Medicine.
