Unstress blog by Dr Ron Ehrlich

Over 35 years of clinical practice Dr Ron Ehrlich has developed a holistic approach to health and wellness, as well as a comprehensive model of how stress impacts on our lives. Empowering individuals and organisations is his passion. His new book A Life Less Stressed: the 5 pillars of health and wellness explores: • Why public health messages are so confusing and contradictory looking at the role of the food and pharmaceutical industries in all levels of health care • The five stresses in life that break us down: emotional, environmental, nutritional, postural and dental stressors. • The five pillars of health to build physical, mental and emotional resilience: sleep, breathe, nourish, movement and thought. These are themes he explores and expands on each week with world leaders in his weekly podcast Unstress with Dr Ron Ehrlich. The model has also shaped his keynotes and workshops for the public, corporates and health professionals, both locally and internationally. Dr Ron has been in clinical practice and still continues to see patients at his group practice, the Sydney Holistic Dental Centre in Sydney CBD.

The Watershop

The Water Shop was established over 30 years ago by Vince Russell, one of the founding fathers of the health food industry in Australia. When the media started reporting on the contaminants and pollutants in our drinking water and with the addition of sodium and fluoride, Vince became aware of the growing demand for water purification products. In response to this need, he designed and commercialised Australia’s first home drinking water system in the 1970’s. The Water Shop has since evolved into one of Australia’s largest independent water filtration wholesalers and retailers.

Proppr

The PROPPR® is an elegant, Australian designed – and made – footrest to get you in the proper ‘squat position’ during your ‘official bathroom business’. As humans we are designed to squat in order to eliminate properly. But since the advent of the western pedestal toilet, this innate instinct has largely been lost; causing a host of avoidable health problems. Using a PROPPR® helps replicate the squat position, which ‘unkinks’ the colon for a more effective release. The science is simple: the hip flexion achieved by squatting (PROPPing), straightens the kink in the lower part of your colon and waste passes with ease. Going to the loo for a #2 is easier, quicker and more complete. And while strong in purpose, the PROPPR® was deliberately designed to be a stylish and modern piece of furniture; offered in a range of materials to suit any bathroom. The PROPPR® Timber is made from FSC certified (sustainable) Australian timbers. Choose from a Tasmanian Oak finish, a subtle whitewash or matt black (coming soon). Made of durable, anti-microbial acrylic, the PROPPR® Acer is built to withstand full water submersion, and is available in Clear, Black and White.

Elektra

Calming Stress with Transdermal Magnesium: Of all the many miraculous things attributed to magnesium, the biggest impact it has is to fortify us against stress so that we can recover better. Magnesium is a primary enzyme supporter and muscle relaxer. It has a critical role, together with water, in hydration status, electrical charge and production of ATP – our cellular energy currency. Low magnesium leads to low energy, low pH acidity, low electrical charge, more oxidative stress and free radical damage, inflammation, pain or hyperactive states. Magnesium deficiency can even cause excessive urinary loss of magnesium, which weakens our immune defences even more. The lower the cellular magnesium level, the more acute the stress symptoms become, the more adrenaline we pump and the more we can get stuck in sympathetic ‘fight or flight’ mode. Several studies have confirmed the best magnesium uptake we can hope for via the gut wall is just a mild dilution such as what would be contained in mineral drinking water or magnesium-rich foods. The high concentrations of tablets or powders, even if they can be digested with enough stomach acid, still tend to be mostly excreted by the digestive system rather than absorbed via the gut wall and taken up by tissue cells. This is despite chronic deficiency states. Oral supplements are even less tolerated by those who have gut disorders and can cause bowel irritation and diarrhea. However, when we use the human skin – the epidermis – to soak up fully dissolved magnesium chloride into its reservoir, there is no further digestion involved. The magnesium can penetrate through the skin and be taken up by tissue cells as needed without fear of overdose and without adverse side effect. It is a fast, efficient and natural system. This can be achieved by magnesium footsoaking or bathing, as well as massage with magnesium cream or magnesium lotion, which are excellent skin care products. Elektra Magnesium skin care products are made with the highest quality natural and organic ingredients (chem-free) and food grade magnesium chloride salts. They absorb well and leave the skin feeling silky smooth. Magnesium Cream is also commonly used to sooth itchy skin, rashes, eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. It is also safe for pregnant women and babies to use.

Blushield

The undesirable artificially created Electro Magnetic Field (EMF) signals from wireless devices and anything electrical create an incoherent environment around us and within us. As EMF is biologically active, when placed in your home, workplace or school environment, Blushield technology produces a coherent field, relieving the body of EMF-related stress. Working at the cellular level, Blushield technology eliminates this biological and psychological stress, which may result in: reduced oxidation, less crystallization, improved oxygenation, reduced parasitic action, reduction of the Rouleau effect and normalisation of lymphocytes. A variety of forces, both internal and external, affects the rate at which DNA damage occurs. EMF is one of these forces. Removing the EMF factor effectively using Blushield technology, symptoms can diminish allowing a clearer picture of conditions. Blushield technology acts in accordance and harmony with natural laws and the natural laws pertaining to the body’s inherent rhythms and cycles. Coherent resonances which we have evolved with that are familiar to our cells. Adding to Nikola Tesla’s genius and Albert Einstein’s brilliance, after 30 years of development, the Blushield development team have created the most advanced EMF protection available today.

doTerra

In the spring of 2008, a group of health-care and business professionals who shared profound personal experiences with the life-enhancing benefits of essential oils came together with a common vision of bringing a new standard of therapeutic-grade essential oils to the world. They wanted something different that would appeal to all people—from those who knew nothing of essential oils to those who were considered experts in the field. They concluded that, with hard work, commitment, and the help of others with similar passion and vision, they could and would create a new paradigm for essential oils. With that conviction, they organized a company and named it “dōTERRA®,” a Latin derivative meaning “Gift of the Earth.” The first offering of dōTERRA essential oils—25 single oils and 10 oil blends—was introduced for sale on April 25, 2008, to the acclaim of essential oil experts and product enthusiasts who immediately recognized the superior quality of dōTERRA therapeutic-grade essential oils.

Yummy Gluten Free by Denise Guray

Yummee Gluten Free by Denise Guray

Yummee Gluten Free is a Sydney-based business founded by me, Denise Guray in 2014. I produce a range of high-quality nut butters and baking mixes that are all 100% gluten free and have been lovingly crafted and produced in a gluten free environment. All of our products are also vegan, organic, soy and corn free. Hi, I’m Denise… I’m the person behind the Yummee Gluten Free brand. I started Yummee Gluten Free because I couldn’t find any of the right products that were made from high quality ingredients and were suitable for my dietary requirements. I was diagnosed with coeliac disease about 20 years ago. Since then I have always cooked from scratch and when looking for similar products to augment my pantry, I could not find anything that I wanted to eat myself and provided high quality nutrition to feed my family and me. I love every aspect of food, it’s rich history, it’s nutrient composition and its capacity to impact, nourish and heal the body. I have also recently discovered the joys of growing my own food in my small urban back garden in Bondi! In recent years I have engaged in studies to become a qualified nutritionist. This allows me to bring more research and professional understanding to the Yummee Gluten Free product range. Through my own life experience, I’ve continued to develop my passion for wellbeing and vitality and cooking! This has been the motivation to develop Yummee Gluten Free.
