The books were aimed at children, so I thought it'd be nice to get one for each of us so the girls could understand a little about what being a cancer and Aquarius means. Truth is, I was also secretly excited to learn a little myself as my understanding of astrology is very basic. The girls have loved learning their star sign symbols, what the constellations look l...

I used to have insomnia. When I first moved to Adelaide (from Kangaroo Island), the fast paced and noisy big smoke put me in a state of frazzle. I'd tried every trick and herb in the book, but I still wouldn't go to sleep until I was utterly exhausted. When I started studying, I put this and many of my other symptoms down to 'adrenal stress' and then I was convinced I developed a state of 'adrenal fatigue'. Well that's what testing showed too. But the functional medicine community was missing pa...
