Did you know a hidden side effect of many prescription drugs is loss of essential nutrients like B12, iron, magnesium, probiotics and zinc? Some of the biggest culprits are common, daily medications! This drug-driven malnourishment can lead to further health issues down the road, including anemia, compromised immunity, digestive issues and heart disease. Which is why it pays to stay on top of your nutrient levels when taking medication with Mytavin. Type in your medication into the Mytavin website and hit “calculate” to uncover hidden nutrient deficiencies post-medication. From there, you may choose to take that information to the next level by testing your specific nutrient levels, or start a custom supplement regime to protect against losses.

Psychologists: Susanne Mechtersheimer Amanda Goh Sarah Mercer Joanne Berriman About neuroCare neuroCare Clinics offer evidence-based mental health programs helping children and adults overcome emotional, learning and behavioural disorders without the need for medications and its associated side-effects. Protocols adopted in our clinics are scientifically-proven, non-invasive and can offer sustainable and holistic benefit, stepping away from a “one-size-fits-all” approach to mental health. Our neuromodulation programs are calibrated using the highest quality technologies, taking these personalised insights into account. All programs combined psychotherapy with a dedicated Psychologist or Psychiatrist, with studies showing the long-term benefit of integrating personalised, one-on-one support throughout the patient journey. neuroCare programs seek to unlock the underlying cause of the condition, rather than managing symptoms as presented. Our highly trained therapists take a closer look at the brain’s activity using Quantitative EEG (QEEG) enabling us to assess a person’s symptoms at a neurophysiological level. We recognise the importance of sleep in mental health and draw upon a number of other tools to observe the role it plays in a child or adult’s mental wellbeing. neuroCare’s assessment and therapy methods have been tested and developed over 18 years with a dedicated team of researchers in Europe continuing to support our clinical teams...
