If you are a lady that has hypo thyroid (or think you do).. It’s imperative to tested for autoimmune. Did you know over 90% of women that have low thyroid have incidence of autoimmune? Many worry about the varying symptoms, Fatigue Depression Weight gain To name a few… What many don’t realise is that an uncontrolled thyroid condition is likely leading to cognitive decline in years to come. The thyroid regulates many functions in the brain and if you continue to have low thyroid output, brain tissue, like other tissues of the body will atrophy. Memory becomes an issue, Cognitive fatigue increases to the point you can’t even remember a page of a book. So the take away, If you […]

So this trip has been quite emotional… Coming back to my hometown after almost 2 years of not being able to visit Spending hours chatting to my mum and nephew (while Cliff was having some quality quiet time in the background, probably investing in crypto and checking out apartments for us to rent for next summer – maybe ) Then realising that last week it has actually been 17 years since I left home for a year Got on a 26hr bus ride to London with 2 bags and £300 in my pocket With a conversion rate between PLN to GBP being 7:1 you can tell it wasn’t much No job and no place to live… Just an awareness that […]

THE SCARS YOU SEE ARE THE RESULT OF EXTERNAL WOUNDS THAT HEALED, YET THIS ISNT ABOUT THOSE ‘WOUNDS’ …(Wrote this 3 years ago, well worth re-visiting) Take a look at the picture above, what do you see? Do you see imbalance, do you see scars, do you see anything else? The scars on my back are a marker of the journey I have been on and NOT the result of a journey I have been on. These scars are a part of me but they are not who I am. And these are just a few that I have, The 6 inch scar on my head from the brain tumour, The 2 inch scar on my leg from barb wire […]

4 Rules You Must Follow Before You Do Intermittent Fasting… It’s Super fashionable these days to do time restricted eating and there are all sorts of claims of benefits, some more proven than others. What I always say to clients (especially women) is that not everyone is ready for it, or benefits from it. In fact, it’s been seen on Dexa scans people maintaining weight over a year period but body fat levels WAY up. Which is pretty much the opposite of why people likely do it. In reality if your body is working well, its a great tool. When your body is not working well, it’s a disaster. So here are 4 rules you MUST obey BEFORE you start […]

Speaking to someone recently who finds it hard to switch off and when they do get time to, they feel anxious. This is common. There is a ‘mindset’ element to this and a biological element to it also. We as humans have the ability to ‘label’ things good and bad. When a feeling comes up that isn’t something we have LEARNT is good, we label it ‘bad’ or wrong and often pick up a phone, watch TV or eat to hopefully silence said feeling. Maybe it works in short term, but it will come back and over time, you become afraid of it. You start to make associations about being ‘alone’ and feeling anxious etc Yet what really is that […]

Trauma isn’t what happened to us, It’s what happens in our body as a result what happened to us These words by Gabor Maté resonate so deep! All puns intended as… …funny, not funny that it’s in the depths of our bodies that the results of our life’s experiences show up as dis-ease or seemingly unexplainable symptoms If you knew that hypothyroidism is often driven by unexpressed creativity, losing touch with our heart’s desires or feeling stifled…Would you approach your healing differently? If you knew that your gut stores suppressed fears and insecurities, often shut down anger…Would you approach your healing differently? If you knew that nerve pain often refers to your need for nurturing yourself and shows you that […]

Its presence is going to make all you do feel overwhelming. One thing I feel as a pattern is irrational fear. Now you have ‘rational fear’ – the life saving form of fear that triggers the fight or flight response. It helps to make ‘in the moment decisions’ about where we are safe or not. Irrational fear on the other hand is when we take a fear and blow it up with our psyche. We run to the worse case scenarios and it can feel like the world is coming crashing down. Yet in reality this will never happen. When have you actually ever fully lived out these irrational fears? Whether it be in Love, Money, Business, Family etc? I […]

You probably think I’ve got all my shit together…You do right? I know you do… Don’t you? Well…That’s likely… As if you’ve been watching my life from the side lines… It looks pretty fucking awesome doesn’t it? And it is! Yet I quite often find myself challenged and challenged is a polite and (very) toned down version of a fucking Armageddon like shitstorm that envelops my life at points I keep saying to everyone that I feel like I’ve finally grown up. While still being childlike but not childish. They say life gets better after 30 and as a kid I thought they were full of shit. Now I honour them and in fact the better it gets, the better […]

Do you know you’re MAGICAL MESMERISING BREATHTAKING? Yeah I know…I sometimes too think it’s all bull…YET! What I realised Somewhere along this path of self exploration That the more I seek those feelings outside of myself The more I realise that I can’t find them anywhere But within And those days and moments When I forget my magic Holy shit do I hurt and feel miserable Those paradise destinations Those honeymoon moments Those bestest ever meals that you’ve had Did you notice that they don’t just do the same thing the second and third and fourth time round Ever…? Why is that? Did you just get bored? Was it just the novelty of it? Did you get numb to the […]

When you throw your arms up in despair And exclaim FFS please just SHOW ME… Are you actually ready to see it? You feel blocked You feel defeated You feel you’ve done all the fucking work And got nothing to show for it You suffer and struggle your way through life wondering if it’s ever going to change And you throw your arms up in the air And scream in despair ‘Oh please, just please show me what stops me… Show me all my blocks Show me all my limits…’ And then you do what…? What is it that you actually do? Go right fucking back to going through the motions Right back to the same fucking thing you did […]

About Autoimmune… Firstly there are many triggers to be aware of and it only takes 1 to be out of alignment for everything to end in a flare up. So these are what I work with clients on. 1. Oral tolerance. Many have issues with lots of foods. As soon as they eat they have reactions like bloating, pain, brain fog or worse. This is because immature immune cells are being exposed. 2. Chemical tolerance. If you struggle with scents like candles, petrol, perfume, there’s a reason. This further shows immune imbalance and it’s important not just to remove the triggers but work on immune resilience 3. Food proteins Doctors think if it’s not an IgE allergy, it’s not a […]

And how potential is that magical, mystical place that we all want to get to yet can’t seem to find a way to just do it and act out of that special place See the thing is (depending on how you look at it): #1 you can’t ever get to your perceived full potential as that would mean your purpose and life is over Result P.A.I.N.F.U.L. OR #2 you always act out of your fullest potential in each and every moment to what you’re aware of and able to with the knowledge and understanding you have of your life in that moment And here’s the kicker word for ya: ABLE in other words YOUR ABILITY Some of you know I’ve […]

Why Are Smoothies A bad Breakfast Choice For The Majority? No, it’s not because I think it’s lazy. No, it’s not because of the sugar fix you think you need to get going in the day. It’s not even the sugar loaded smoothies I see made. To start, a MAJORITY of my audience and clients are women. So this really concerns them more. So what’s my beef with smoothies? Let’s us some context first. MOST smoothies I see posted are nothing more than blood glucose spikes in a glass that send you on a rollercoaster all day. Sure, there are some good ones out there but they are few and far between. My awesome client Maja made a great point […]

7 Main Reasons People Can’t Improve Chronic Health Issues…. Even working with the ‘best’ people in their fields. I spoke to a lady this week that hired the best doctors in a specific field. No results. Why? Being a specialist in some respects is a hinderance when you can’t understand the bigger picture. Take autoimmune for instance. On average it took 10 doctors and nearly 15 years to get a correct diagnosis. That’s why the people I do choose to work with get staggering results. I only take on those that are a great fit. So if you are struggling with chronic health issues you have to look at the following 1. Test for undiagnosed autoimmune issues. Many tell me […]

The greater your FEAR …the closer you are to breaking through whatever bullshit story you’ve been telling yourself! Pay attention Take a deep breath And step right in there! A story, is a belief you’ve been telling yourself that’s been stopping you from living your TRUTH A Truth that can never turn out to be true What’s opposite to your TRUTH always remains a LIE Those are there purely to provide CONTRAST A powerful feedback if you like, so you can reinforce yourself even further in what your LIGHT and your TRUTH is Or continue to CHOOSE in on your man made and imaginary limitations, Imaginary deficiencies that continue to prove to you that you’re not GOOD ENOUGH as you […]

Maybe you think you lack knowledge or even confidence. Do you find yourself questioning yourself and comparing yourself to others and what they do? I think we have all been there, right? Here’s what I came to realise. It’s not just the price you charge that decides the quality of the client. It actually comes down to more than that, like… 1. How you screen people before they work with you. I used to let anyone in that would pay the fee I requested and it caused so many sleepless nights. For me, it’s not about how much you charge someone all the time. Full exposure, we had a client pay 15k (Yep you read that right) and never got […]

25 years ago I was told that having headaches non stop for 10 days was normal My then neurologist also thought that me passing out regularly may just be because ‘I was growing’… When after several tests and scans no one could find anything I was put on a drug for 2 years just because the doc thought there’s nothing else she can do I as a kid didn’t question it Mum and dad didn’t know any different Wanna know what they put me on? A strong mood altering and antipsychotic drug that was supposed to help with my headaches… I mean what the actual fuck? Knowing what I know about the human body now I just want to scream! […]

Ever Scratch Your Head With A Client Because You Have Done Everything Right.. … But They Are Not Progressing? Let’s rule out that the client isn’t following your suggestions first. What I find is I have clients that come to me that have the perfect diet. They know how to sleep, They have filters, air cleaning devices They track everything… Yet still have symptoms. Maybe this happens to you? What I realised is that it’s a little more complex than we have been told. The courses out there are great for theory but often poor when faced with a complex client. Even trickier, Some clients are doing the right things, But at the wrong time. That’s why Marta and I […]

I once heard a PT tell someone they might be not losing weight because of their ‘age’ and maybe it’s their hormones. This was from an ‘evidence based’ one too… Truth is, it was said to Marta after 16 weeks of training more than I have ever seen. Constant calories deficit 10,000 steps a day. Result = increase in weight by 1.6kg and pre diabetic blood glucose. Sadly this same PT didn’t properly screen Marta and that’s the first mistake. (As you can appreciate I didn’t want to coach M, being partners in ALL areas. That’s why she got a coach) The coach said all the right things. Yet sadly it was just generic. After I saw the above statement, […]

Hey Friends!! How was your weekend? I am curious, what have you been up to? Cliff and I are truly settling into our Cyprus life again and had a slow and lovely weekend after a few weeks of madness working, unpacking, making our new house a home and all the usual malarkey. I sat down to my usual morning meditation yesterday and had the most amazing inspiration and download for a process I am going to take all the amazing women that are joining me for the Modern Woman Masterclass through. It’s all about coming home to ourselves as women, to feel powerful yet soft, to know where our energy starts and where it ends, to really truly understand ourselves […]

ENVIRONMENT ENVIRONMENT ENVIRONMENT!! (And why I swapped 20 degrees and sun for frost and snow – and did snow angels as my workout today – proof further down for you so read till the end ????) I know I sound like a broken record You’ve heard me say before That if your environment isn’t in alignment with how you want to live and what you want to experience It’ll pull you in to alignment with everything that you don’t want As it’s a greater force collectively Than just you as a single unit . And that’s also why Early Monday morning I flew 3000km away from home To be in the Polish mountains To change my environment To change my point […]

I guess I’m in the unique position that I deal in great depth with peoples physical health and their emotional health. Now it baffles me but it’s still true that people are disconnected from what they eat, why they eat it and how they FEEL. It’s all too fashionable to say ‘I’m on a liver detox’ or I’m doing this ‘shred diet’. Can you actually detox a liver, errr no. Unless you understand stage 1 (p450 cytochrome) and stage two clearance then you are just being sold a bunch of likely poor quality supplements that someone is making at least 25% on. It’s TRUE that there can be issues with the function of stage one and stage 2 in the […]

10 years on eh? Well, I’m not really fussed for the who ‘ageing’ thing and what I look like. It’s more the ‘energy’ of the person in the pictures. For me these pictures show me a willingness to change who I was being because it wasn’t serving me anymore. The pic from 10 years ago is a guy on medication, unhappy and escaping as often as possible to alcohol and drugs without ever considering the implications on my physical and mental health. A guy that was lonely and isolated himself unless he was drinking. I told myself it was ‘all under control’ and that I can stop when I wanted. Yet I never stopped for years. I thought I was […]

I know you have stories I know as I do too… We all have them! The question is How long Just how long will you Allow them to run your life Where you ‘Just have to feel into it a bit more’ ‘You haven’t quite understood it yet’ ‘There’s still more to unravel’ ‘There’s just so, so much of deep work still to do’ FFS… Just shut up that little pretend conscious mind of yours And see through it Without action Nothing will ever change in this 3D world that we live in FACT! End of story And fucking right it’s important to feel your shit Feeling is everything It’s important to understand your patterns and stories And It’s equally […]

Have you ever wondered if your life can be different? And I don’t mean in the woo woo, elusive and mystical sense! Of course, that’s always a part of it. Yet seriously, the day to day things that you do that piss you off yet you don’t know how to change… Those ones that actually add up to the totality of your life How fucked up and pointless it sometimes seem Or how fulfilling and full of the epic stuff called joy it is For ages I got trapped in a perception that when I do this or that course or follow this or that mentor, my life will be sorted. I’ll be done and able to just get […]

IF YOU THINK YOU SUCK AT LIFE – GOOD NEWS! It’s just a learnt behaviour of your un trained mind Everything is learnt Practiced With or without knowing The school of life often happens in the background You’ve no idea what it is that you’re doing your revision on And then the exams… Well… If you think you’ve failed at love That’s your exam passed! If you think you’re shit with money… That’s your exam passed with distinction If you think your whole life is a bit (or a lot in fact) of a mess There you have it – your degree with honours Every outcome we have in life Is a result and a confirmation of a […]

Hold my hand Follow me into the abyss Let me show you What you don’t see What you don’t want to see in me As you’d rather Think it’s just all oh so easy To live my life To run the business that I do To be so fucking awesome Constantly on point Constantly on it… . Are you with me? Here… Here’s my hand Grab it Just take hold and follow . See my weary eyes Glazed over Body feeling weak Barely able to stay upright Heart rate low Almost too slow Mind refusing to work Forgetting what I said Forgetting what I walked in the room for Thinking I’ve don’t something while clearly I haven’t Every now […]

THE MOST BORING YET IMPORTANT POST IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE….(In My Opinion) Over the YEARS I have been Labelled the ‘Gut Guy’ Maybe its because I REVERSED my own auto-immune disease called Ulcerative Colitis and have been Symptom and Medication FREE for over 7 Years now….(Apparently IMPOSSIBLE by conventional medicine standards) Or maybe its because Marta and I have helped 100’s of people all over the world do the same.. Frankly it doesn’t really matter to YOU right now but what i guess DOES matter to you is how you LOOK, FEEL AND PERFORM? Am I right? (If i am READ ON>>>) So my intention for this post is to tie in what the GUT has […]

Over the years I have shifted from just dealing with a broken down body I see in front of me and shifted more to the 30,000 ft view of WHY this is occurring. There is no escaping the role that environment plays in our day to day health but I am not sure that people really FULLY understand the importance of environment in health and life. So lets dig in. Without getting into deep physiological research it has been proven over and over that what we are exposed to emotionally and physically IS affecting our physical body on a moment to moment basis. The simplest way to understand this through your experience of hot and cold. When we are […]

Do you know that you’ll always find a way to do whatever you need to do in your life? Regardless of how easy or challenging something may seem Your mind and body are amazing at pulling out an answer, a solution, an outcome Sometimes… Quite often shall I say Those solutions will be nothing more than just a bundle of what you’ve learnt before mashed up together to get to your outcome By hook or by crook You’ll get there! YET! Is it possible that there is a Quicker Easier More efficient More effective Way of getting where you want to get to? Of course there is! Yet There’s a price tag on that one! Awareness, responsibility and then […]
