Ultimate Stethoscope Review After 10+ Years | Which Is My Favourite?

In today's episode of Dr Nora, I take you through my ultimate 10+ year review of which is the best stethoscope to use as a medical student, GP or allied health professional.

Throughout time, I have used several scopes and by far my favourite is the Littmann Classic III. It has stood the test of time and hasn't deformed nor have any puncture marks developed.

We all need someone 🤝

As the festive season approaches it's easy to get wrapped up in gifts and gatherings. For most, it is a time of joy and celebration. However, for others it can be a lonely and isolated time.

Those who are affected with social isolation can be uncomfortable asking for help, so reaching out, whether through a text or dropping by can make a substantial difference to them.

If you or someone you know is struggling during this time please pop by and see me in clinic, there is a wealth of help out there.

Take care and stay healthy 😘

What self-care activity will you do this weekend?

It's so easy to get caught up in life's chores, so this weekend I'm encouraging you to take a portion of your day to look after yourself and do something that you enjoy. This could be as easy as putting on make up, going for a walk, dancing to your favourite song or reading a book.

By doing this, you'll help to improve your energy, happiness and concentration amongst other great benefits.

The LIP FLIP vs Dermal Filler with Before and Afters | Doctor Explains Results & Risks 💋

In today's episode of Dr Nora I take you through the lip flip technique which uses anti-wrinkle injections to subtly make the upper lip larger. The same procedure also helps to smooth out lines above the lip known as barcodes lines or smokers lines. You'll also see some before and after pictures of each procedure.

The before and after images were created instantly using Treatment Pad, an application that can be downloaded on the iOS store.

Dreaming about injectables?

If you're considering injectables in time for Christmas or the new year it's important to remember that anti-wrinkle treatments take full effect after 2 weeks. Filler may take up to 4 weeks to fully settle in. We usually recommended leaving 6 weeks prior to a big event.

If you have any further questions please pop in to see me in clinic.

Yawning, heavy eyes, fuzzy vision and day dreaming are all warning signs of tiredness. ⚠️

Dinking coffee, opening the windows or turning up the radio are all temporary fixes. If you're on a long journey and you feel tired stop. Take a break. Sleep.

Calling all Australians 🇦🇺

In 2022 we spent on average 2 hours on social media each day. Whilst this is a great platform for getting inspiration and communicating with loved ones, it's also having a detrimental affect on our mental health.

Research has shown that social media can impact our self esteem, affect our sleep, change our human interaction and make us unhappy.

So next time you feel like checking Facebook, Instagram or Tinder, pause and take a look out the window, there's a whole world out there to be discovered.

Are you motivated?

We can all struggle with finding motivation to do things, whether it's finishing off that DIY project, or staying focused to your goals to achieve a milestone.

Maintaining your motivation can be easy. Try to have a vision board of what you would like to achieve in a period of time. Or you may choose to have a list instead and tick off boxes once a task is complete.

At the end of each task, assign yourself a mini reward, that way you'll associate completing a task with a positive behaviour making you more motivated.

How do you keep active?

Whether you want your body bikini ready for summer or want to shake off the winter blues, the best way to kick start your health goals is to keep active. What better timing with the days getting longer and warmer.

Remember to always seek the advice of your medical doctor before going on any exercise plans. As always, if you have any questions feel free to pop by and see me in clinic.

In today's episode of Dr Nora, I go through what excessive sweating is (or hyperhidrosis), its causes and typical treatments including the use of anti-wrinkle injections.

HYPERHIDROSIS

It is thought that approximately 3% of the population suffer from excessive sweating. It typically affects the hands, underarms, feet or neck and face. There are a number of treatments available all with varying efficacy.

How much salt do you eat? 🧂

It's recommended that we have no more than 5g of salt a day or 2300mg of sodium. However, the average Australian has almost twice that much - a staggering 9g of salt a day. Having an excess of salt leads to serious health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart attacks and stroke.

Next time you're in the supermarket take a look at the nutritional label. You want to aim to have foods low in salt which means no more than 120mg of sodium per 100g. High salt foods are considered to have 400mg of sodium per 100g.

Is your little one up to date?

Baby and infant check ups are recommended at various ages along with immunisations. By examining your little one we can make sure they are reaching their milestones and growing appropriately. This helps to identify any potential issues early so that they can be addressed in a timely manner.

If you're up to date with your check ups but have concerns about your infants growth pop by and see me in clinic.

What's in your basket? 🍇

Australia is blessed with fabulous climates and fertile soil. We are so lucky to have access to local fruit and veg helping to keep food tasting as it should.

It's surprising therefore, to know that most Australians eat only about half of the recommended quantity of fruit.

For an average adult, 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of vegetables are recommended on a daily basis.

Not only are fruit and veg packed with vitamins and minerals essential to good health, but they contain fibre which is thought to reduce the risk of some cancers, such as colorectal cancer.

So next time you're out shopping be sure to pop some colourful fruit and veg in your basket.

Did you know? 🧐

That when we exercise, not only do we feel great, but the brain releases a chemical called human growth hormone which is responsible for many important functions of the body. These include fat burning, increasing muscle growth, supporting the immune system and increasing bone mineralisation.

We are so lucky to have access to some of the world's best beaches to use for a simple jog or walk to improve our health naturally.

Take care and stay healthy 😘

WARNING: Always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program. If you experience any symptoms of weakness, unsteadiness, light-headedness or dizziness, chest pain or pressure, nausea, or shortness of breath, stop exercising and seek immediate help.
