Optimum health is achieved by taking a holistic approach and along with making changes to your diet, addressing your lifestyle is also very important. For example, improving sleep, by following a sleep hygiene protocol , which includes regular sleep routine, avoiding stimulants and screen time, and introducing sleep aid supplements or foods, or managing stress by using mindfulness apps or doing breathing and relaxation exercises. Exercise advice will be discussed to improve cardiovascular health, lose weight and improve balance and strength, ergonomic advice in order to reduce back and neck problems, and/or limiting environmental toxin and chemical exposure through organic food use and using natural cleaning agents and cosmetics.
Possible referrals for other treatment options may also be discussed, such as acupuncture, physiotherapy, chiropractic, cognitive therapy, osteopathy, massage, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, personal training, fall prevention, weight-bearing exercise for osteoporosis, pregnancy-specific exercise programs and quitting smoking protocols, just to name a few.
