I began my yoga journey with a long list of things I wanted to improve about myself. I wanted to feel happier, more peaceful, less stressed, more calm, less anxious, more flexible, the list went on…. I would diligently go to class 5 times per week, pushing my body to the extreme in the endless […]
In The Health Press clinic we often hear from patients ‘my blood tests came back normal, but i still don’t feel well’ If you can relate to this you’re not alone. Sometimes standard blood testing doesn’t always give us the full picture and all the information we need to identify more subtle changes within the […]
