Dreading labour? This might change how you prepare Dreading labour? This might change how you prepare. 🤰 From around 36 weeks, a specific series of acupuncture treatments may help support your body as it prepares for labour — including cervix ripening and encouraging labour closer to your due date. Some research suggests this may also be associated with shorter overall labour times. Between sessions, using TENS on the same acupuncture points can help keep that preparation going at home. Once labour begins, TENS can also become a supportive pain relief tool — working with your body's own natural pain-relief response. One study found women using TENS waited longer before needing stronger pain relief. I've put together a free guide covering which points to use, how to use TENS before and during labour, and when to start. It's free, it's evidence-informed, and it may help you feel more prepared going into your birth day. 👇 Comment LABOUR below and I'll send you the guide 🔗 Click "Hire TENS" in our bio/link if you'd like to hire a TENS machine https://www.bondi-acupuncture.com.au/product/tens-machine-hire/ #bondijunction #sydneyeasternsuburbs #acupuncture #labourprep #naturallabour #tenshire #painfreelabour #chinesemedicine #calmbirth #easterntherapies

Quick question: do you know which form of CoQ10 yo Quick question: do you know which form of CoQ10 you're actually taking? 🔬 Most supplements on shelves contain ubiquinone — the "raw materials" version your body has to convert before it can use it. The active, ready-to-use form is called ubiquinol. For most healthy 20-somethings, that conversion isn't a big deal. But as we age — or under stress, or with high oxidative load — it becomes much less efficient. This matters hugely for fertility. Your eggs are the most energy-demanding cells in your body, and they rely on strong mitochondrial energy to mature well. Supporting that process with the active form (ubiquinol) is something we talk about often with our fertility patients. Not all CoQ10 is created equal — check your label today 👇 Save this for your next pharmacy trip, and comment "CoQ10" if you'd like our practitioner-grade recommendation. 🌸 #CoQ10 #FertilitySupport #UbiquinolVsUbiquinone #WomensHealth #EasternTherapies
Your blood test says normal. Your body says otherw Your blood test says normal. Your body says otherwise. Here's why both are right. 👇 Most doctors work from population averages — ranges that include sick people. So "in range" just means you're not sick enough to diagnose. It doesn't mean you're well. Functional medicine asks a different question: where do you thrive? Take ferritin (your iron storage). The standard range for women goes down to 12. The functional optimal? 70–150. A result of 15 looks fine on paper — but it could explain your fatigue, hair loss, and slow recovery. Your symptoms aren't anxiety. They're information. If you've been told everything looks normal but you still don't feel like yourself — I want to hear from you. 💛 📩 Book a discovery call via the link in bio. #FunctionalMedicine #HormonalHealth #WomensWellness #TCM #EasternTherapies
Cosy, boozy dessert alert: Red Wine Poached Pears Cosy, boozy dessert alert: Red Wine Poached Pears (Glühwein Style) 🍐🍷 All the spice and warmth of a mug of glühwein, but in dessert form. Pears are gently poached in Cabernet or Merlot with cinnamon, cloves, honey, and vanilla, then served warm and glossy with a scoop of homemade ice cream. The wine reduces into a luscious syrup that stains the pears a deep ruby and turns every bite into winter comfort in a bowl. Perfect for winter dinners, holiday gatherings, or when you want something elegant that you can make ahead. They keep beautifully in the fridge for up to 4 days, and are just as stunning with whipped mascarpone or crème fraîche if you’re out of ice cream. Save this to make for your next cosy night in and thank me later. #redwinepoachedpears #gluhwein #winterdessert #poachedpears #dessertrecipe #comfortfood #weekendbaking #homemadeicecream #easyentertaining #foodstagram #dessertlover #cozyfood #holidaydessert
Your hormones are listening to every meal you eat. Your hormones are listening to every meal you eat. 🥦 Broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage contain a compound called DIM — it helps your liver clear out excess "bad" oestrogen and keep more of the protective kind. Less bloating. Fewer mood swings. Better cycles. Lightly steamed, 1–2 cups daily is all it takes. Save this and send it to someone who needs it. 💚 #HormoneHealth #OestrogenBalance #TCMWellness #NaturalFertility #EasternTherapies

This is one of Dr Sici’s favourite protocols for w This is one of Dr Sici’s favourite protocols for women’s health. This approach is something she often use when supporting patients with fertility, hormone regulation, and symptoms such as hot flushes. Women’s bodies move through so many phases, and each stage deserves the right kind of support. One of the things she loves most about her work is being able to support women through every stage of life — from preparing for pregnancy, to postpartum recovery, through to perimenopause and menopause. It’s incredibly rewarding to walk alongside patients through these important transitions. #womenshealth #hormonehealth #fertilitysupport #ttccommunity #pregnancyhealth #perimenopause #menopausesupport #hotflushes #womenswellness #holistichealthcare #womenshealthdoctor #easterntherapies #acupuncture #bondijunction

You don’t need a miracle 5am routine, to help regu You don’t need a miracle 5am routine, to help regulate your nervous system. Consistency and presence are key: ⭐️Take a few long slow deep breaths in through your nose and out from the mouth. ⭐️Place a hand over your heart and tell yourself “all is well in the here and now and I am safe” ⭐️One hour upon waking.. no screen time. This helps prevent scattered attention, helps reduce morning anxiety and helps regulate the natural circadian rhythm.

Nobody told me about any of this in sex ed. 🙃 We' Nobody told me about any of this in sex ed. 🙃 We've all heard the classics — legs in the air, don't move, lie flat for 30 mins… but what does the science actually say about positions and conception? Turns out, it's less about gravity and more about working with your body. 🤍 Watch to see what may actually support your conception journey — based on insights from fertility expert Dr Leah Hechtman. Here's what actually helps 👇 ✅ Positions that minimise semen loss at ejaculation ✅ Skip most lubricants (jojoba oil is your exception) ✅ Orgasm post-ejaculation — yes, really ✅ Sex and often, especially when FCF is present ✅ Physical closeness = pheromone signals = hormonal magic Save this if you're TTC 📌 and share with someone who needs it — because the more we talk about this stuff openly, the less we're all out here doing bicycle legs alone in the dark. 😅 #fertility #ttc #tryingtoconceive #conceptiontips #fertilityawareness #womenshealth #ttcjourney #ovulation #fertilitymyths #holistichealth #womenswellness #viralhealth #easterntherapies #bondijunction
8 things I wish I could have told my younger self 8 things I wish I could have told my younger self ✨ If I could go back, I’d tell younger me: – The long road is the good road. Skills, degrees, detours — nothing is wasted. – Protect your energy. Loyalty is earned, not owed. – Move your body for your mind, not just the mirror. – You are far more capable than you think when you stay consistent. – Take risks while you’re young. “Failure” is just feedback and data. – Choose your circle and your partner like your future depends on it — because it does. – Learn how money works early. Freedom is about options, not flexing.

Morning phone use and the nervous system. Respond Morning phone use and the nervous system. Responding to emails, notification updates and reaching for your phone immediately upon waking, puts your mind into a high alert and reactive state. This creates a sense of urgency and anxiety. Why not put your phone into another room from the night before? If your phone is not easily accessible, you’re less likely to reach for it upon waking.

Pre organising the night before for the next day a Pre organising the night before for the next day acts as a powerful safety signal for the nervous system creating predictability.

People want to know how I have good skin. What I People want to know how I have good skin. What I do is I just keep out of the sun after 9AM. If I go to the beach, it's early in the morning. I use chemical free products. Have lots of exercise, 5 days a week. Lots of water. Lots of good sleep. And I take my herbs when I'm not feeling 100% to regulate my body and do LED light therapy. And I believe that's the secret to good skin. #skincare #healthyskin #glowingskin #clearskin #holisticskincare #naturalbeauty #cleanbeauty #chemicalfree #antiaging #selfcare #healthylifestyle #sunsafety #ledlighttherapy #redlighttherapy #wellnessjourney #easterntherapies
I used to recommend NAC for fertility support. I d I used to recommend NAC for fertility support. I don't anymore — and here's why. 👇 If you really want glutathione to make a difference to your egg quality, you need a therapeutic dose. We're talking 450–600mg a day. That's the dose where we actually see a direct translation in oocyte function. The data shows it literally changes the eggs. NAC on the other hand? It's actually a natural drying agent. We use it clinically when someone has mucus on their lungs or a phlegmy chest — because it dries that out. So when women are taking it as a fertility supplement, it's doing the same thing internally. It's drying out your cervical fluid. It's drying out your oestrogen. And that is the last thing we want when we're trying to optimise for conception. This is one of the most common supplement swaps I make with my patients — and I want you to know about it too. Save this for later and share it with someone who needs to hear it. 🔖 #fertilitytips #eggquality #glutathione #NACsupplement #oocytehealth #fertilitynutrition #ttccommunity #ivfsupport #womenshormones #functionalfertility #supplementsthatwork #cervicalfluid #hormonalhealth #fertilityawareness #saveforlaterfertility #easterntherapies #bondijunction
