LETTER FROM
Nicole Editor
We’ve been spared the harsh repercussions of lockdowns here in Queensland, but this month’s release of Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra residents has put a spring in the step of all Australians. It’s perfect timing too, with party season coming into full swing! While for many, November is all about the races - for me, though, it’s all about Christmas. I know, I know, most people associate December with Christmas, but not me - I like to start early. I’ve been a Christmas tragic since way back, and becoming an adult hasn’t changed that whatsoever. As soon as I get the last of the kids’ birthdays out of the way, it’s Christmas all the way.
OPEN 7 DAYS 9:30AM TO 5PM
We’ve already booked in our family Santa photo (much to the older boys’ horror), and locked in a date for our Christmas tree construction.
32 Masthead Way, The Marine Village, Sanctuary Cove Ph 5577 8981
November 7 is the date we’ve chosen. Now that might seem early to some people, but that gives me six solid weeks of Christmas cheer – anyone who finds a problem with that might as well write Christmas Grinch on their forehead. I’m the person who gets excited when the shopping centres start playing Christmas carols, heck, I even force the kids to listen to some good old Michael Bublé each day on the way to school. After the year that’s been, I think we could all do with a bit of Christmas cheer. And who better to inspire a bit of positivity in all of us than Olympic champion Lisa Curry. In this month’s issue, Lisa shares her top tips for overcoming adversity, while Friends with Dignity founder, Zoe Scharenguivel talks about her new charitable venture, Events for Purpose. So, get into the racing (or Christmas) spirit, grab a glass of bubbly, and enjoy our November issue of Get it Mag!

GET IT I PROFILE
Designing Worlds Realscape Productions Producer & Co-Founder Nathan Alexander talks to Get It Magazine about DARKFIELD SÉANCE on the GC, designing dark, immersive experiences and how he delivers a twist on traditional theatre. 1. How did you first get into this type of producing, and was it a career you always saw yourself in?
in the Dark
DARKFIELD is a series of experiences that combine technology with theatre, using 360 degree sound and other elements to place each audience member at the centre of the narrative. As the audience is seated wearing headphones, strange worlds unfold behind the doors of shipping containers. For SÉANCE, expect to question your own sense of reality - what was real and what was conjured up in the recesses of your imagination - as you sink into the darkness the séance begins.
I had pictured myself working backstage in theatre from as early as five years old. I have always been fascinated with how things are technically and visually achieved in a live performance. Whenever I watch something my brain is always occupied with technical elements of a show. Prior to moving to Australia and setting up Realscape Productions with my partner Amy, I worked as stage manager and production manager for various large scale immersive theatre productions in London and around the UK.
3. Do you think this kind of experience will welcome a new audience who want a different, immersive experience this Halloween?
2. Tell us about DARKFIELD SÉANCE and what’s in store for the audience?
Surprisingly I am not a horror fan at all - I am the kind of person who hates being scared and hides behind a pillow when
GET IT November 2021
The experience is intense and can be scary for some people, but you definitely don’t have to be a fan of horror to enjoy it. Don’t go in expecting haunted house style entertainment - it’s more theatrical and the sound design alone is so impressive.
4. Have you always loved horror/ thriller experiences personally?
10
made to watch a horror film. But I do love watching the audience reactions during and after a show!
5. What does a typical day in your life look like? No two days are the same - I’m across all elements from the initial conversations, through to building sets, touring management, to making sure the team on the ground have things running smoothly.
6. Bringing this experience to the GC, do you think it’s a city that loves something different from their entertainment? There’s so much on offer in GC, it’s a great place for people looking for all kinds of experiences. We’re looking forward to seeing the response to SÉANCE as something that is perhaps a little more left of centre than the other offerings in the city.
7. Do you have a quote you live and work by? Not a quote that I work by, I do say “I have an idea” a lot, which is usually followed by a lot of scheming to see whether it’s feasible or a little bit too creative...

GET IT I GET THINKING
Covid covid covid. — by Krysten Davis —
Locally designed swimwear I imagine, like me, you are sick to death of hearing about the pandemic. Case numbers, lockdowns, vaccines, micro-chipping, 5G. Never have so many people engaged in conversation, about so many things, they know so little about. If one more person tells me to ‘Do mY oWn reSeArch’ I will have a very loud and unbecoming tantrum. ‘Research’ is done by scientists with years and years of formal training. It produces results that have been tested and re-tested to give us facts that are incontrovertible. Googling ‘vaccine’ is NOT doing research. If you have 100 scientists and 99 of them agree on one thing and 1 of them has a different opinion. The ‘1’ is not being cancelled- they’re wrong! I am so excited about the prospect of unrestricted interstate travel and even….. (be still my beating heart) international travel!! I think we will appreciate being able to visit distant lands so much more than we did pre-pandemic. If only there was something we could do to help ensure that borders open?????? But wait!! There is!!! We could all get vaccinated against Covid 19!! I’ll proudly put my hand up as double vaxed (as are my kids, my husband, my dad) and apart from the slight improvement in my mobile reception due to the 5G implant, I am completely fine! I had a sore arm for a couple of days but I think this is such a small price to pay to protect those in our society who for genuine medical reasons (not whim or gluten intolerance) are unable to be vaccinated. The problem is, you can’t reason someone out of a position, that they did not reason themselves into…. So maybe the giant enormous carrot of unfettered travel, will be enough to convince people to protect themselves, when strangely the giant enormous stick of dying of a preventable disease is not enough. I solemnly swear to never mention SARS CoV 2 ever again- I’m off to optimistically plan an overseas trip for next year.xx

Finding my balance
Australian icon, triple Olympian and co-founder of Healthy Happy You, Lisa Curry speaks with Get It Magazine’s Holly Bartter about integrity, her recent career achievements, and the changes we can all make to feel better every day. 1. What have the last few years looked like for you? In my 50s, I’ve learned to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of the little things in life, such as enjoying a home cooked meal, taking a long walk on the beach, drinking that extra glass of wine, spending quality time with loved ones. I try not to take anything for granted and make sure to GET IT November 2021
incorporate a little laughter and a hug into each day. In recent years, I’ve also focused more on developing my company and conducting business in the most authentic and honest way to help others on their personal health journeys.
We develop quality and effective supplements and health products, plus holistic probiotic skincare, to online clinic consultations with health professionals, to free hormonal assessments, delicious recipes and educational articles.
2. Tell us about Happy Healthy You, what was the motivation behind it?
3. How common is it for women to experience a hormonal issue at some point in their life?
I’ve experienced regular mood swings since my early 20s. I know I’ve been a nightmare to live with at times – I was stressed out, irritable and quick to temper – I would turn into a different person! It wasn’t until the late 90s when I retired from swimming that I realised I suffered from a hormonal imbalance. It was this experience that led me to my now business partner, Jeff Butterworth, and started working with him on natural hormonal solutions. 14
It is very common as levels of hormones naturally fluctuate at various life stages, most noticeably during puberty and in women during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and “the menopause” which I am experiencing at the moment! Women don’t need to suffer in silence anymore and that’s what I love about our business is that it’s become an open forum for ladies to learn about their choices.
GET IT I LIFESTYLE 4. What is your go-to activity for some down time?
Ask Dr Donna
Exercise has always been a large part of my life – it’s a great way to de-stress and have some down time in my hectic schedule. Nowadays, I’m much kinder to myself and more in tune with my body and how it’s feeling. I’m lucky enough to have a home gym where I like to work out each day. My home is on the Sunny Coast hinterland surrounded by beautiful mountain views and the sounds of nature while I work out. Often my husband, Mark, and our beautiful red kelpie, Mali, join me which is fun and motivating.
5. What advice do you have for other women looking to build their brand and unique identity - do you have a career ethos or saying that you live by? Do something you love and do it with authenticity and integrity. Always try your best – some days can be difficult but keep persevering because you never know how things will be tomorrow. Remember to take time out if things are too overwhelming and don’t be afraid to reach out and ask for advice or support when you need it.
6. How has COVID changed the way you work? COVID has really taught me the value of taking some time out and making sure that the people around you know you’re there if they need you, and vice versa. Taking care of yourself mentally, physically and emotionally should always be a priority - life isn’t always about work and sometimes taking a moment to breathe can actually make you more productive and efficient in the long run.
Dr Donna
Imagine going to the doctor, and enjoying the experience of a day spa.
7. With such a full life, how do you balance it all? Health is number one as you cannot operate properly without it. And it really is a sensible balance of a healthy diet, moderate exercise, a calm and happy mind, a loving family and a like-minded community, work and friendships. I always aim to enjoy each day, move each day, and eat better than I did yesterday!
Well, that’s an experience now on offer for Gold Coast women, with the launch of Her Medical. The concept has been a dream of GP and founder, Dr Donna since she first completed her psychology and medical degrees. “Her Medical had been a dream of mine since medical school where as a young woman I found it very challenging to find a medical centre that I wanted to go to and feel comfortable at,” says Dr Donna. “I wanted a spa-like experience in the medical centre that included a holistic approach to ‘wellness’. “Along the way, I have met and been inspired by various doctors who taught me not only about the science of medicine but also, the art, and provided me with the framework upon which to model myself as a doctor.” Dr Donna says she was inspired by the quote ‘when you care, quality naturally follows’. “That is the ethos of my work as a doctor, and the mantra at Her Medical. “Her Medical is the reality of a very clear vision I have held in my mind from so long ago to create a beautiful, elegant space for women to attend to their health,” she says. Dr Donna has extensive experience with all aspects of women’s health from antenatal shared care and child health, contraception, endometriosis, PCOS, menopause and everything in between.

challenges.”
“Our focus is to assist smaller charities, not-for-profits and community groups with implementing fundraising initiatives, income generation and strategies to raise awareness of their causes within the community and help them continue with their social impact,” explains Zoe.
In this field of work and balancing a demanding career with being a mother, Zoe recognises how essential it is to strike a balance between giving to others and filling up her own cup.
“So often, these smaller NFPs had the passion but were quite often underresourced and time poor.” Her first step into the charity space was in 2015 with Friends with Dignity, a “grass roots NFP” as Zoe describes, which supports victims of domestic violence and experienced fast growth and the prestigious title of Australian Charity of the Year in 2018. “My background is actually in the Tourism and Leisure Industry,” Zoe shares, “and I was able to use my generalist skills and experience when we founded Friends with Dignity.”
After founding not-for-profit Friends with Dignity in 2015, Zoe Scharenguivel’s career has moved from strength to strength with her new venture, Events for Purpose. Now, Zoe sits down with Get It Magazine’s Holly Bartter to talk about important causes, creating change in the community and finding inspiration everywhere. For Zoe Scharenguivel, launching Events for Purpose meant bringing together her unique skill set to empower important charity organisations that didn’t have the
This growth mindset, operational acumen and ability to connect with others was fueled by the passing of a close friend due to domestic violence, and since Friends with Dignity, Zoe has further honed her talents to welcome a series of new fundraising causes, starting with the Makin Family Fundraiser, for Events for Purpose. “I have personally known the Makin Family for a few years now,” Zoe says, “and was shocked and upset when I heard about Shane Makin’s sudden brain tumour diagnosis. “To learn they had to leave their children behind on the GC to seek lifesaving treatment in Sydney, and then to not be able to return home for rehabilitation and further treatment due to COVID restrictions was heartbreaking. The goal for our first event was to help a beautiful family who were going through some significant life 19
“I often remind myself that I’m unable to change the world, however, by contributing my small part, I can make a difference to so many people one day at a time. Things have become easier for me now that my children are a little older, and my husband returned from working overseas last year. “I take such inspiration from those who have overcome their own challenges to make the world a better place, or use their influence to unite change and humanitarian impact. My beautiful Mum has always been an inspiration and has set the bar very high for me to aspire to be the best I can be and simply, a good human!” With local outreach essential to the success of Events for Purpose, Zoe shares that the Gold Coast provides a base of people who all want to make a difference where they can. “The GC community is very generous and supportive of each other - the gift of your time is priceless and really does have an impact on others.” As for the future? Zoe has a clear vision for herself and her work: “I want to continue to help as many community organisations and NFPs with their growth and expansion, which allows them to continue to do their own amazing work in the community and helping so many more people.” As our time together closes out, it’s crystal clear that this pay-it-forward mentality underpins Zoe’s success, passion and drive to make things happen.

Hazelwood Estate When you arrive at the gates of the new luxury retreat Hazelwood Estate you just know that you’re in for a special treat. The winding road dips down into the Gold Coast Hinterland valley before you arrive, atop of the hill, to be greeted by the breathtaking sight of the five-star 75-acre wagyu and polo farm, which boasts some serious eco-credentials. It’s the perfect place to realise your English country house dreams – General Manager Tom Simpson hails from England, just to enhance the experience there’s an air of Sense and Sensibility about your surroundings. With so much to explore and no time to waste, set off on foot to enjoy the lush green surrounds that take in the sweeping views towards Redland and the Gold Coast’s skyline. You can take a picnic hamper, go on a guided bushwalk, visit the estate’s gardens or go horse riding – so book in early. Tired out, head back to your cabin – choose between the luxury pavilions which boast their own freestanding bath (water provided by the resort’s own tanks) or private outdoor veranda, or a King Farm Cabin, with a private deck overlooking the hinterland. Enjoy some of the locally-sourced treats and a glass of wine as the sun sets. If the great outdoors isn’t really your thing, then book a treatment prior to your arrival – the spa offers organic facials, massage, scrubs and wraps inspired by the riches of the Scenic Rim – or just wander up to the Club House where guests mingle beside

Then it’s time for the magic. The Paddock restaurant, directed by one of Australia’s top chefs, Cameron Matthews, who has been appointed as Chef-in-Residence has created an unpretentious, wholesome fare that demonstrates just how good the local produce is, whilst simultaneously tantalising the tastebuds. “Our menu is built around food sourced from local markets, our very own market garden and beehives, and premier Australian producers. Our focus is on creating an incredible dining experience that will leave you inspired and full. We’re proud to share this authentic paddock-toplate philosophy with you,” says Matthews. Choose, if you can, between Matthews’ renowned beef tartare, toasted camel milk gnocchi with brown butter and coal grilled beef with salt baked potato, dill oil and potato cream.

DROWNING Summer is fast approaching. Unfortunately, so is ‘drowning season’ According to Royal Life Saving, lockdowns and prolonged periods of stay at home due to Covid has drowning facilities skyrocketing. Drowning rates for the 0-4 age bracket have increased 108 per cent in 2021. This result is devastating. There are steps we can all do in preparation for the silly season and achieve ‘zero’ unnecessary drownings, that devastate families. ✔️ Complete a Pool Safety Checklist - Check your pool gate and fences, latches and locks are all compliant and safe. ✔️ Don’t EVER ‘prop’ pool gates open! Make sure of this if your child goes on play dates at homes that have pools! ✔️ Do YOU hold your CPR? Make sure all parents, carers and older children in the household hold their CPR. ✔️ A CPR course takes two hours to be qualified and courses are held in GET IT November 2021

STAY SAFE! AND HAVE FUN ON THE WATER THIS SUMMER!
Additionally ✔️ Don’t ever leave children in the bath alone or with other children - even to answer the phone. Always supervise! ✔️ Don’t leave pool toys in, or around pool areas - small children will climb and scale over pool fences in any way possible, especially if toys are attracting their attention. ✔️ Kids are still at risk in portable pools! Constantly watch children swimming in portable pools and then empty as soon as they are finished their swim. ✔️ Don’t involve adults drinking alcohol while children are swimming - ALWAYS make sure there is a ‘Responsible Adult’ in charge of supervision while kids are

Beating back pain
Working from home has its perks - relaxed dress code and the ability to facemask while you send emails. However, it does have its shortcomings. After months and months of switching between the dining table, your bed, the sofa and maybe even your floor to set-up shop for the day, only to wonder eight hours later why your lower back aches and the onset of body stiffness is strong. But according to X50 Lifestyle Dietitian and Performance Nutritionist Tara Kaff, there are some things you can do to reduce the severity of the pain. Here are her top tips.
Get Physical Being sedentary allows the muscles around the spine and in the back to become weak, which in turn can cause less support for the spine and lead to long-term pain. At the most basic level, physical activity means standing, walking and limiting lying down throughout the day. To take it to the
next level, try incorporating a brisk walk or light jogging. Strength training is also helpful as it targets the core and hips while strengthening your lower back, helping you better manage any pain.
Cold and Heat Therapy You may have heard that one is better than the other - but the short answer is that the best option is whichever works for you. Applying cold and/or heat packs are both an effective strategy for pain reduction - cold therapy helps to reduce inflammation and pain, whereas heat therapy helps improve blood flow, relaxation and pain relief. If you’re lucky enough to have a bathtub, try soaking in Epsom salts for about 20 minutes, which can help ease sore muscles.
Supplement Wisely When it comes to what may help with alleviating pain - magnesium is essential for proper muscle function and acts to relieve tight, sore and cramped muscles. Proper intake of magnesium supplements also helps to calm and relax the entire nervous system and improves sleeping habits. Vitamin D improves the body’s absorption of calcium and maintains bone health; which is 25
why experts believe that a lack of vitamin D could make back pain worse.
Anti-Inflammatory Tea When you consume anti-inflammatory food and drinks regularly, over a period of time the potent agents within the antioxidants can play a significant role in reducing and/ or eliminating inflammatory reactions in the body.
Get Enough Restorative Sleep Research shows that sleep disturbances can make pain worse while lack of sleep can also affect how much pain a person can tolerate. Most adults should be getting around seven to nine hours of sleep a night.
Stress Less Stress can trigger muscle tension and painful spasms, so try scheduling in some stress-relief techniques and activities to your day. Such as mindfulness meditation and deep breathing - which both calm the body’s stress response. Yoga is also great as it focuses on particular poses and breathing to help with relaxation, especially when practiced regularly.

STRONG BONES g n i d Buil
Osteoporosis is considered to be a preventable disease, and reducing the risk of osteoporosis, particularly for the over 60s, is likely to prevent many fractures, which carry high morbidity and mortality rates.
From their mid-thirties, women begin to lose bone density. After age 60, 1 in 2 Australian women will have a fracture related to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis occurs in all age groups, genders, and races; however it is more common in Caucasians and postmenopausal women; affecting 1 in 4 women aged over 75. Many people don’t know they have osteoporosis or ‘weak bones’ until they suffer a fracture. According to recent statistics released by the International Osteoporosis Foundation, one in three women around the world over the age of 50, and one in five men will experience osteoporotic fractures in their lifetime. Low bone mass and deterioration of bone

tissue leads to an increase of fragile bones that are prone to fracture with minimal trauma, for example, falling from standing height onto the ground. The wrist, spinal vertebrae and hip, are most frequently fractured osteoporotic bones.
Increasing age, low BMI, smoking, family history and certain medications can increase the risk of osteoporosis. Other risk factors include: Other risk factors include: •
inadequate amounts of dietary calcium
•
low vitamin D levels
•
cigarette smoking
•
alcohol intake of more than two standard drinks per day
•
caffeine intake of more than three cups of coffee or equivalent per day
•
lack of physical activity
•
early menopause
•
loss of menstrual period if if associated with reduced production of oestrogenlong-

Screening usually starts from 70 years of age, although screening is often done earlier for women at risk who have certain medical conditions, take various medications or have a strong family history of osteoporosis. There are some things you can do to prevent Osteoporisis, regardless of your gender. Those include: From a young age, both men and women can take steps to prevent osteoporosis by making sure that they: •
have a healthy and varied diet with plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grains
•
eat calcium-rich foods
•
dbsorb plenty of vitamin D
•
don’t smoke
•
limit alcohol and caffein

Maintain
your health this party season! Melbourne Cup usually signifies the beginning of the party season. Gatherings, work functions and Christmas can mean this two-month period can be filled with temptation. But, with a bit of forward planning we can overcome the party period still on track to keep our health and fitness in order. Below are a few tips to help you not only survive, but thrive! 1. Plan ahead The key during the holiday season is to plan ahead. Detailed grocery lists for all of your meals and stocking up on healthy snack items that you can put together quickly to serve to guests or enjoy with your family are key. Meal prep is a great way to ensure you always have a supply of healthy options on hand. If you’re travelling, research restaurant menus in the area so you will have a list of good options to try before you arrive.
2. Keep moving Maintaining your normal routine as much as possible will help you stay on track. Don’t leave your fitness to chance! Schedule times throughout your holiday to be active. Find out where the nearest gym is and either work out independently or join a class or get the whole family involved by planning activities you can do together like cycling, swimming or walking.
3. Don’t forget to eat Regular meals throughout the day help regulate your insulin levels and keep food cravings at bay. Eating five or six meals a day will stimulate your metabolism into burning the equivalent amount of energy as 30 minutes of cardio!!! Try a protein-
based breakfast (check out Vision’s meals on Vision Virtual Training for some recipe ideas) to keep you on track. Have a proteinbased snack before going out for dinner so you don’t arrive hungry and won’t be as tempted to over-indulge.
determine whether you really are hungry and act accordingly. Think of cravings as a suggestion, not an order, and you have the final say!
4. Stay hydrated
If you are staying home over the holidays why not take advantage and avoid purchasing unhealthy snack foods and sweets. Having them in the house, even if you aren’t intending on eating them, means that you have to rely on willpower in moments of temptation.
Drink water to help you feel fuller and keep your body functioning well. Have a glass of water before heading out for a meal and if you are consuming alcohol, drink a glass of water between each drink. Keep your water intake up throughout the day so you don’t end up gulping down a glass or two before bed and disrupting your sleep by having to make trips to the bathroom at night.
5. Watch your alcohol consumption It’s the time of year to be ‘merry’ but calories from alcoholic beverages, especially mixed cocktails filled with liqueurs, fruit juices, and syrups add up quickly. Try to keep to ‘single ingredient drinks’ like wine or beverages that use a water-based mix. Every glass of red wine you drink takes approximately 21 minutes of walking to burn off the calories!
6. Get some sleep Sleep is so important to our overall health and research shows that we turn to sweets and carbs when we are over-tired. 6-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night will do wonders for your metabolism and will ensure you have the energy you need.
10. Keep temptation away
11. Indulge selectively Rather than eating store-bought items, plan to selectively indulge in your favourite homemade holiday treats. It is too hard to deprive yourself completely over the holidays. By giving yourself permission to enjoy one or two special items, you will be able to maintain your will-power, enjoy them without feeling guilty and get back on track quicker.
12. Focus on fun, friends and family not food We know that for most of us the holidays are centred on special eating traditions, however, we hope you also remember to take time to reconnect with your lovedones and with yourself to ensure that your holidays are filled with happiness and joy!
7. Think before you eat Sometimes we eat because we are tired, thirsty, bored or stressed. Take a moment before indulging that sweet tooth and 27
