The most dangerous words in the English language when it comes to your health are…

“Maybe it’ll go away on it’s own…”

Our bodies possess amazing healing resources. But with the constant bombardment of daily stresses- physical, chemical and emotional…

The scary reality is that most people’s health is headed in the wrong direction.

If we’re lucky, pain or symptoms wake us up to this situation and encourage us to do something about it. For those who aren’t so lucky, serious disease may be the first symptom.

In 2017-18 just under half (47.3%) of Australians had one or more chronic health conditions, an increase from 2007-08 when two-fifths (42.2%) of people had one or more chronic conditions.

Females aged 15 years and over were more likely than males to have one or more chronic conditions (56.5% compared to 50.8%), however, for children (0-14 years old) boys were more likely than girls to have one or more chronic conditions (24.2% compared to 15.9%). The prevalence of chronic conditions increased with age, with four in five (80.0%) people aged 65 years and over having one or more chronic conditions.

These frightening statistics paint a picture of a healthcare system that is failing us badly. No one lives their best life when they’re burned out, stressed and in pain.
