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!

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

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

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.

What about after I fall pregnant?

Becoming pregnant is just the first step in the

beautiful and rewarding, but often

challenging, life as a parent.

Therapies can also help to make your

pregnancy as enjoyable as possible and treat

your family through the coming years with

Homeopathy and Kinesiology.

“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!"

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.

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.

Are your

relationships

making you

sick?

Principle #4: Healthy Relationships

By Bronwyn Kennedy

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.

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

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, intercourse, massage, dancing, 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.
