Healing Soup for the Soul
As Autumn is upon us and winter is fast approaching, its the perfect time to expand your soup repertoire and get the nourishment soup season offers. This is a staple soup in my house and something both my kids and partner all love. The healing bone broth and simplicity of the veggies and pulses is a lovely, balanced mix and you’re not left feeling starving like after some other soups.
Bio-Hacking Essentials For Modern Life
By Master Chiropractor and ALTR Practitioner Nick Dawe People are tired, and perhaps wary also, of a list of benefits for a product or service. The real question someone could ask themselves is… Why don’t I surround myself with nourishment and good feelings all the time? Why do I settle for sub par energy, quick un-gratifying stimulants/relaxants or cheap entertainment, poor sleep, a perception of having no time for ourselves
How To Have High Vibrations in 2023!
By pH Clinic Psychotherapist Eloise King If there’s one truism in life (more interesting than death and taxes) it’s that life, itself, is motion. Never static, always changing, and never within your undivided control. Whether it’s a variation in weather patterns, the fluctuating economy, a global pandemic, or changing priorities of your friends and family members (think marriage, divorce, becoming parents, empty nesters, redundancies, career highs, new love, monetary windfalls,
Unlock the magic of protein for breakfast
Written by resident Naturopath Ali Berecry @the_forensic_naturopath When I studied nutrition at uni we were taught you needed between 0.8-1.2g of protein per kg body weight each day. So, if you weighed 65kg you needed (on average) 65g of protein, unless you did significant amounts of training.Since then there’s been a real explosion of research into how crucial lean body mass (i.e. muscle) is for healthy ageing and optimal metabolic
Could poor breathing be effecting your Iron levels?
Do you struggle with having low iron levels, even after supplementation and iron infusions? One of the many contributing factors could be the way that you breathe. We breathe 30,000 times a day and as a species, the majority of humans are not in fact breathing correctly. There will be too much Oxygen (O2) and not enough Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in your bloodstream. This results in High (O2), and low

Stop turning the Sauna up too HOT!????
Saunas, especially Infrared Saunas are getting extremely popular due to the huge number of health benefits that they can provide and because they feel great. However, there is a massive lack of understanding about what settings to use when in the Sauna. I’m often left baffled when I hear some of my patients or other people in the clinic proudly telling me they can sit in the sauna at 70ºc
The Medicine We Forgot
The Medicine We Forgot: The Rise, Erasure and Return of Frequency Healing Stand inside a great cathedral — Chartres, Notre-Dame, York Minster — and something happens to you before a single thought forms. Your voice drops to a whisper. Your breath slows. Your shoulders release tension you didn’t know you were holding. We call it reverence. But what if it’s something more measurable than that? What if these buildings were
Water, Light and Cold: How to Optimise Your Mitochondria
By Nicola Johnson — Founder, pH Clinic | Advanced Colonic Hydrotherapist There is a conversation happening at the frontier of health science that most people haven’t heard yet. It sits at the intersection of physics, biology, and what I’d call intuitive wellness — the kind of knowledge that, once you have it, makes you look at everything you do differently. It’s about your mitochondria. And the three things they need
Red Light Therapy Explained: The Evidence, The Benefits and How to Use It
By Nicola Johnson — Founder, pH Clinic | Advanced Colonic Hydrotherapist Of all the therapies we offer at pH Clinic, red light therapy is the one that surprises people most. It doesn’t feel like much when you’re doing it. You stand in front of a panel of warm, red-toned light. You feel a gentle warmth. Twenty minutes passes. You leave. And then, over the days that follow, things start to
The Hidden Cost of Being the “Nice Girl”: How to Stop People Pleasing for Good
People Pleasing 101 People pleasing is one of the most common patterns I see in the women I work with here in Sydney and across the Northern Beaches. And it makes sense, because pleasing people is a learned response. If your mum was a massive people pleaser, chances are you became one too because you were never taught to put your needs first in a healthy way. In fact, being
The Science of Infrared Sauna: What the Research Actually Shows
Blog Post Written By Nicola Johnson — Founder, pH Clinic | Advanced Colonic Hydrotherapist I have been asked about infrared sauna more times than I can count. And for years, my answer was mostly experiential — I’d talk about how clients feel walking out, the warmth that moves through you differently to any other heat, the way your nervous system just lets go. But the research has caught up. And
“But Won’t It Get Rid of the Good Stuff?” — A Colonic Practitioner Answers Honestly
Blog post written by Colonics Practitioner Kelly Phoenix Rose In a recent conversation about whether red wine is “better for you” than margaritas, I was genuinely shocked by the certainty and confidence a friend expressed when she said the only reason she was not at all interested in colonics was because… “it gets rid of the good stuff too.” Mind you, she has been struggling with ongoing poor immunity, digestive issues,
Bǐng Wǔ 丙午: Entering the Year of the Fire Horse
Blog post written by Jess Smith Acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine Practitioner. One of my favourite things about the turn of a new year is the changing of the guard within the Chinese lunar calendar. The Year of the Wood Snake in 2025 seemed, for many, to invite an uncomfortable kind of upgrading. For some, it brought necessary growth. For others, an unanticipated shedding of old patterns, beliefs, and structures that
Why Weight Loss Resolutions Fail (And What Actually Works)
Written by Functional Nutritionist and Holistic Health Practitioner Amanda Powell Every January, many women set the same goal: lose weight. Yet for women over 35 — especially mums and those in peri-menopause — weight loss often feels slower, harder, and more frustrating than ever before. If you’re eating well, staying active, and still not seeing results, this isn’t a motivation problem. It’s a physiological one. Why weight loss changes for
Starting Fresh in 2026 Without The Pressure
The new year has a way of sneaking up on us, and suddenly we’re meant to have it all figured out- new goals, new habits, new energy. For many people, that can bring excitement… but also a lot of stress. We see it every January: anxiety about “getting it right,” feeling behind before the year has even started, or trying to force yourself into a resolution that doesn’t really fit
Coffee Enemas
Everything you need to know! Coffee enemas are one of those practices that often raise eyebrows – until you understand the history, the physiology, and the profound support they can offer when used correctly. At pH Clinic, coffee enemas are not a trend or a gimmick. They are a long standing, time honoured tool that we use thoughtfully – both in clinical settings and as part of a supported home
Grounding Benefits for City Dwellers: Calm, Restore, and Improve Your Wellbeing
“We’re designed to live connected to the Earth. Modern life has pulled us away — but grounding helps us return.” Life in the City: Disconnected from Nature Take a look at your average day.

From Lingering Injuries to Lasting Wellness
Marty Green’s 8-Year Journey with PH Clinic Eight years ago, Marty Green walked through the doors of PH Clinic for the first time. He’d heard about us from my sister – Alex who had a beautiful organic cafe one street away from our then clinic in Manly, who kept talking about “potions” and avant-garde ways to use caffeine 😉 At the time, Marty was young and, in his words, “felt
