Meet the Team! Meet your Practitioners at Bracken Ridge Natural Therapies Michael McCloskey—Kinesiologist Michael is a Certified Kinesiologist and has been working at BRNT for 5 years. Michael is a specialist in Neural Organization Technique (N.O.T.), digestive problems, allergies and intolerances, learning difficulties and physical pain. Neural Organization Technique (N.O.T.) N.O.T. reprograms and resets the neurology of the body’s primal survival systems that control the nervous system that has been sent into a disorganised state. When neurology is disorganised, messages going to and from the brain are confused causing incorrect responses. In this state the body can not respond appropriately causing learning difficulties, ADHD, pain illness and the list goes on. Allergies and Food Intolerances Using muscle testing and neurological and immune system balancing procedures the inflammatory effects of an allergic reaction may be reduced and the ‘responsible’ foods or allergens can be identified. Michael has helped many clients to minimise their bodies ‘over reactions’ Michael is available at BRNT on: Mondays:
8am—5pm
Thursdays:
1pm—9pm

Your ‘healthy’ diet could be making you Infertile! Is your healthy diet healthy for fertility? Numerous studies have shown that specific changes to the diet can increase the chances of healthy ovulation, prevent recurrent miscarriage and support a healthy pregnancy. Nutrition plays a big roll when it comes to having a healthy body and reproductive system. The building blocks for hormones are found in the foods we eat. Just as nutrients in food can be helpful for fertility, there are some foods and chemicals added to foods that can be harmful for your healthy and fertility. When asking my fertility clients “what is your diet like?” Many of their responses are “healthy”. More often than not, it is not a diet that is healthy for fertility. There are many reasons why a woman may not be able to conceive. Some women are resistant to the hormone insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps keep blood sugar under control. Insulin gets released when you eat sugar- and by sugar I mean not only refined sugar, but starches like bread (even whole grain), pasta, and potatoes and even sweet fruit. An abundance of insulin interferes with the normal production of female fertility hormones, hindering normal ovulation. High insulin levels can also impede the fertilized egg's ability to attach to the 4
uterus, leading to implantation failure and miscarriage. In fact, women with insulin resistance problems have as high as a 50 percent chance of miscarriage. So, how do I know if my diet is the problem? Bracken Ridge Natural Therapies Natural Fertility Program considers your fertility problems holistically looking at your diet, hormones and what is going on in your life to find a natural solution! What do I expect with the Natural Fertility Program? The fertility treatment will: Balance Hormones Stimulate ovulation Treat any underlying pathology such as fibroids, endometriosis, thrush etc. Reverse any side effects of the contraceptive pill. Money back guarantee if you follow the program and do not fall pregnant * What about after I fall pregnant?

“After several years of infertility issues
and battle against endometriosis, I did not want to undergo another IVF treatment with all the stress that it entailed. That's when I learnt about Bracken Ridge Natural Therapies. The programme seemed a rather simple one with a definite timeframe. I immediately felt comfortable in the presence of Evelin running the programme. She exuded so much confidence and showed patience to understand my problems and concerns that I instantly felt at ease in her presence. I only saw her twice and after only one month consultation with her, I fell pregnant! Knowing how hard the battle against infertility can be with all the stress, I most sincerely recommend Bracken Ridge Natural Therapies to women who want more natural alternatives to IVF. Just give it a try and you won't regret it!" Patricia

Are your relationships making you sick? By Bronwyn Kennedy
Principle #4: Healthy Relationships Often when it comes to good health, many people fail to realise that relationships can play an important part in our overall health and wellness emotionally and physically. When we surround ourselves with people who we respect and love, often we have more energy, better posture, less stress and more determination to achieve our goals. The opposite is true when we associate with people who make us feel inferior, stupid or worthless. This can create symptomatic responses within one or more of our body systems which eventually lead to disease. I came across this article from one of my mentors, Dr John Demartini – an expert in human behaviour. It gives some great insights into what are the signs of being in a successful relationship and what are some of the biggest causes of relationship conflict. I’m sharing it in our newsletter today as a reminder to think about how your own relationships are travelling. 6
What are some of the signs you're in a successful relationship? There are many but the top ones are: You feel you are fulfilling what is truly most important to your life while interacting and relating to your partner. You feel inspired to share time and
space with the partner you also feel love for. You love being in your partner's presence and conversing with them about your and their dreams. You embrace both sides of your partner's character and see how both of them serve your ultimate objectives. You
feel you partner's presence regardless of where and when they are in space and time. You feel grateful, loving, enthusiastic and inspired feelings when you think or talk about them.
What are some of the biggest causes of relationship conflict? Things to keep in mind: Miscommunication - alternating monologues instead of communicative dialogues. Unrealistic expectations projected onto
each other to live in each other's values. Comparing your partner to delusions
or fantasies that they will not be able to live up to. Assumptions about your partners that is not grounded in reality. Not dissolving conflicts as they arise and letting them accumulate beyond the capacity to dissolve. What are your tips for a successful relationship? Honour each other's highest values/ priorities. Communicate in each other's highest
values/priorities. Love them for who they truly are - their true identity will be an expression of their highest value. Schedule quality and quantity time
with them. Express any hidden agendas and put them on the communication or negotiation table.
partners to Hollywood or storybook fantasies or previous relationships. How often people project their past emotional baggage onto their partners. How often people are addicted to
being always supported and never challenged even though whole relationships require a balance of both. How important is sex in a relationship? In most relationships adequate sex is just as important as adequate money. It can be expressed in many ways - cuddling, holding hands, kissing, petting, i nte rc ou rs e, m as s ag e, d anc i ng , conversations, creativity. The very nature of the complementary opposite sexes draws people together for the purpose of an inner sexual alchemy. Loving sexual intimacy and bonding with its neurochemistry allows the two partners to feel connected and envision longer futures together. www.drdemartini.com Kinesiology is a wonderful modality to help you gain more clarification about what you want in a relationship and how you want to be in a relationship as well. If you are uncertain about how to identify your values or your partners and how to communicate effectively your wants and needs, please book in to see Bronwyn for a consultation. It may be just what you need to get your relationship back on track.
Have you been surprised by anything during your relationship research? Yes- some of the things are: How often one of the partners expect their other partner to live in the former's values. How many unrealistic expectations
partners project onto each other. How often people compare their 7
