Are you lacking in B12?
Vitamin B12 deficiency causes tiredness, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, and megaloblastic anemia (a fancy name for large, immature red blood cells). Nerve problems, such as numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, can also occur. Other symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency include problems with balance, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue as well as damage to the nervous system.

So, your blood test came back normal, but you don’t feel ‘well’…? This is a common occurrence that we see regularly.
Functional testing is a great tool that can help us to delve a little deeper into your health concerns to measure how your body’s biological and biochemical processes are working as a whole, and to help to uncover any metabolic, hormonal, or nutritional imbalances that may be impacting your wellbeing. These tests are a great way of identifying the root cause of your symptoms and can assist greatly with developing a more effective and individualised treatment plan for your specific health concerns. Detailed below are a few of my favourite examples of functional testing. If you are interested to find out more about testing that’s available – as well as how I can support you by interpreting previous pathology reports – I’d be very happy to explain more!

At the end of a day trip to Echuca, my husband stated that we should get ice cream because ‘that’s what everyone was doing’. To which I replied, ‘I love and honour my body too much to do that’, and was thinking in my head, ‘phew, thank god I just had the strength to state that out loud so now I really WON’T have that ice cream…woohoo’, as I knew I’d regret it later if I did! Now I confess, ice cream isn’t my favourite ever food, which made it a tad easier. But, how often do we find ourselves in this situation? And what would have been your answer?

Ever felt completely stressed out, tense, and irritated, only to realise later that you just really needed to do a poo?
Being constipated affects not only our physical wellbeing, but our mood, too and it is a surprisingly common problem that is rarely talked about. But when you have long-term constipation, your gut (and probably your mood) is telling you that something needs to change.
This is a great and delicious way of supporting gut health, particularly for kids. The berries are full of polyphenols which act as food for our gut microbes and the gelatin assists with healing the protective mucosal lining of the gut.
