How Naturopathy Treats The Root Cause of a Condition
Few things are more disheartening than developing a life-altering condition. It often feels like your body is turning against you and there may be limited treatment options, depending on what condition you’re facing.

Well, consulting with a naturopath allows you access to a spectrum of healthcare systems beyond modern medicine. This supplements your healing by providing additional support to your treatment regime.
The Dark Side Of Mind-Body Connection And How Chiropractors Combat Emotional Distress
The start of 2020, or 20plenty, is upon us! A new year means a new start for most people. But, not for everyone. New Year’s resolutions fall through, holidays fizzle out fast, loved ones leave, and the pressures of work can leave you with plenty of not-so-good-feelings.
You may be losing your temper at home, waking up sad, and dreading work or even getting out of bed!
If that’s the case, a bad back is the last thing you need. And, you’re probably feeling the signs already! Tight shoulders, sore neck, headaches, pain shooting down into your leg – this is an indication that the stresses of day-to-day life are taking a toll on your body too.
How does Testosterone level affects men and how to know if it’s low.
What do you know about Testosterone? Or even more so, how do you feel about it?
Women have been on oestrogen replacement for some 50 years now. Strange how it does not occur to men, even when they lose their sex drive, get continuously tired, or deeply depressed, or even when it’s obvious their wounds are healing slowly, that maybe something is missing – something that used to be there but is no longer…

What Comes First? Health or Fitness? (Actually, it’s a balance)
Getting on top of your health can be somewhat overwhelming. We may have lived our whole young adult lives not having to care too much about our health or we may have hit that “ripe old age” where our bodies seem to be continually failing us. Where do we start? Good question!
Maintaining a balanced lifestyle requires us to look at our diet, exercise and our mental health. Health is defined as “the condition of the body and the degree to which it is free from illness, or the state of being well” and Fitness is defined as “the condition of being physically strong and healthy” (Cambridge Dictionary). The key is to find out how we define these two concepts ourselves and relate it to our own bodies.
Are you someone who has understood the importance of health and fitness from a young age?
How are you wired? (Understanding the nervous system)
Have you experienced persistent headaches? A loss of feeling or pins & needles? Maybe double vision or dizziness? Your body may be screaming out for an adjustment to assist the nervous system. Our team at Empowering Wellness understands the importance of the relationship between the spine and the nervous system.
The nervous system is a complex communication network between our brain and the rest of our body. It has two main components a) the Central Nervous System (CNS) – controlling the brain and the spinal cord; b) the Peripheral Nervous System – controlling the rest of the nerves, collectively.
The brain sends messages down through the spinal cord which then transmits those messages to the billions of neurons in the body. The body then reacts appropriately.
The nervous system controls our movement, organ functions and also our sensory nervous system (sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste).

What is Bio-Energetics?
Unknown to most people, the very reason that we’re alive is because of bio-energetics. This amazing process happens within the mitochondria, deep inside most of our cells. The mitochondria often called the ‘energy-factory’ or the ‘powerhouse’ of the cells. The energy currency that it makes is in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This energy-rich ATP molecule is produced using oxygen from our breath to convert chemical energy from our food. It’s this ATP form of useable energy that sustains our life.
