Women’s health on the brain
yes to dairy goodness

favourite book in our home when the kids were little was Yes, Yes, No, No by Leslie Patricelli. This lovely little story brings to life the constant dilemma we have as parents about when to say yes and when to say no. Often the correct response is obvious (no, you can’t eat the cat biscuits and yes, I’d love a cup of pretend tea) but hands up if, like me, you have been guilty of using no as a default response? How regularly does a rogue no escape from your lips before you have even consciously and rationally thought about the request?
A Hint Of range is the first of its kind in WA – natural fresh milk with a hint of real chocolate, strawberry, banana or vanilla. No added sugar, sweeteners or nasties like colours or flavours. Simply pure WA milk, plus love. Finally, a product that is an easy yes. Brownes Dairy A Hint Of offers the perfect win-win situation. Your kids get to enjoy a yummy dairy treat and you’ll know that you have smuggled some dairy goodness into their day.
Women are living busier lives than ever before and studies show that this is affecting their physical and mental health. Increasingly, women lack the time to make a healthy lifestyle a priority.
Brain-based therapies are becoming increasingly popular as people are looking for safe and effective alternatives to drugcentred treatments. Some of the therapies offered at The Perth Brain Centre have been featured in Dr. Norman Doidge’s internationally best selling book The Brain’s Way of Healing, the sequel to his equally popular book The Brain That Changes Itself.
Unfortunately this is reflected in statistics, which show that women experience problems like anxiety, depression and migraine much more frequently than men, especially during the years that they are raising their family.
The Perth Brain Centre has been helping women with problems like anxiety, depression and migraines for over 10 years. They use the latest in functional
There is no area more ripe for a mother-child standoff (and even parent to parent standoff) than the topic of making wise food choices.

brain imaging to direct drug-free brainbased treatments such as Neurofeedback Therapy (brain-wave training), TransCranial Direct Current Stimulation (brain stimulation) and Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback (stress management).
Research shows that problems like anxiety, depression and migraines can be caused by changes in the normal function of the brain. In the past, treatments have relied on drugs, but these days, people are often looking for alternative solutions.
Now I know that loving, consistent, boundaries – often reinforced with a no – will help shape my children, but lately I have been finding ways to say yes, even whilst setting a limit. And how good does it feel to say a whole hearted yes?!
We know how vital it is for our children to get their daily calcium needs. When they are little, milk is king and they have it with breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. As their taste buds develop, it can get harder for us to make sure our kids are having enough calcium every day. In order for them to drink milk, it needs to taste delicious, which, up until now, has meant giving them sugary products.
s Dr. Jean Hailes: For Women’s Health, Australia’s leading and most trusted women’s health organization, says ‘If a woman is in good health, her family, community and the society around her also benefit.’
Women’s lives are more hectic than ever before and it can be too easy for them to put their own health last. As Dr. Jean Hailes says ‘The health of those we love starts with us. By investing more time in ourselves, we are better able to look after the ones we love and care about.’ For further information on how brain-based therapies can help you or someone you know, please contact The Perth Brain Centre.
