The Gut-Brain Connection refers to the connection between our gut and mental health. Recent studies have shown that our gut plays a crucial role not only in our physical health but also in our mental wellbeing. Different mental health issues like anxiety, depression, anorexia nervosa, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and more have been linked to an unhealthy gut microbiome.
Having been a vegetarian most of my life, together with an interest in the social determinants of health, I have had the benefit of attending hundreds of lectures, workshops and courses on healthy living including gut health. For me there is an opportunity to make good choices daily as part of my lifestyle. With a lot of head knowledge, the challenge is to incorporate healthy habits consistently into my lifestyle including leafy greens, fermented foods and ensuring I eat the colours of the rainbow. I certainly notice when I do make good choices like these I have more mental clarity and my mood and productivity increases. This happens for me more regularly when I plan ahead and have healthy food available in the fridge and cupboard. Research shows one of the primary ways to improve gut health is by incorporating probiotics or prebiotics which help to promote the growth of gut-friendly bacteria. However, good gut health involves more than this. Other factors like following a healthy diet, consuming antioxidants, reducing processed foods, fasting, and adopting a gut-friendly lifestyle are all important for a healthy gut. In psychosocial recovery coaching, I believe that it's important to consider the role of the gut in mental health and work ethically with clients who may be struggling with gut issues that are affecting their mental wellbeing. By educating my clients with information on the importance of a healthy gut microbiome and promoting gut-friendly practices into their daily lives, I empower them not just in their physical health but also in their mental wellness. At Whole Warrior Solutions, we are committed to a holistic approach to mental health that includes gut health.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is designed to provide support and funding to people with disabilities in Australia. There are three types of NDIS funding available: self-managed, plan-managed, and agency-managed.
Self-managed funding means that the person with a disability or their family members are responsible for managing their own NDIS funds. This gives them greater control over the support and services they receive, as they can choose which providers to use and how their funding is spent. However, it can also be more time-consuming and complex to manage. Plan-managed funding involves using a registered plan manager to manage the NDIS funds on behalf of the person with a disability. This type of funding comprises the largest percentage of participants on the scheme. The plan manager takes care of all the financial transactions and ensures that the service providers are paid on time. Good plan managers also have great local knowledge of supports and the NDIS legislation. This gives participants more flexibility and choice in their service providers, while also reducing the administrative burden. In recent years, there has been a significant shift towards As an NDIS provider, it's important to prioritise self-care and wellness to effectively help those living with disabilities. Burnout is a common issue in the fields of disability work, social work, community work and nursing. Recognising the signs of burnout is crucial in preventing it, particularly as a busy entrepreneur. Symptoms such as exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced effectiveness can impact both your personal life and your ability to provide quality care to your clients.
To proactively invest in your wellbeing, it's important to make time for self-care activities such as exercise, meditation, and peer supervision. Additionally, attending events such as the Whole Warrior Network Retreat can provide valuable resources and support for NDIS providers. The retreat, taking place from August 24th-27th in the Sunshine Coast Queensland, offers professional development opportunities and a chance to connect with like-minded individuals in the disability field. Happy new year! How has your first month of 2023 been? This January I've been busy birthing two new things! Firstly, the launch of a new 12 week one on one Signature Whole Warrior Workshop that I've been incubating for over a year, and secondly an online shop on my website!
One of the 12 modules in my new Whole Warrior Workshop is a Vision Board session. Vision boarding is an incredibly powerful tool for manifestation and goal setting. It can help you to focus on your goals and dreams, and it can also help you to visualise the steps you need to take to make them a reality. Benefits of vision boarding include: |
