Dear woman! I don’t care how old you are I don’t care if you have a job or run your own business I don’t care if you’re single, married, kids or no kids That’s what they tell you to care about when you share your message.. And I don’t! I won’t go against my soul EVER! And you likely know that by now dear woman… What I do care about is HOW YOU FEEL Deeply to the bare bones and the core of your being! How are you? How do you feel about you and the world around you on a day to day basis? How easy or how hard does it feel to be kind to yourself? To nourish […]

A chance you’d not want to miss! As you know I’ve been diving deep over the last few days into Past Life Regression and Life Between Lives therapy You might think… But why dig in to the past? Past is in the past… It happened and we can’t change it! Well… we can’t change the experiences, yet we CAN change our interpretation of them! And if you’ve been in our world even for a bit, you know that the past is what shapes our NOW and our future And it can do so in a supportive or a (sometimes very) destructive way Remember that to be fully present now and to create our most fulfilling future – every time you […]

I’ve been reflecting this past week and really taking in a few things. 1. I can’t tell you how important it is to have supportive / balanced people around you. People that don’t let you just submit to stories of fear. People that ask you to be better. People that offer a solution, not a validation to your problem. 2. We are run by two primary energies when we feel stuck. Fear Lethargy Fear will tell you that you are small. Lethargy will tell you there is another day and just watch the tv. 3. Doing it alone is slow. I used to fool myself that it would be best if I just tried to work everything out myself. Just […]

THE ILLOGICAL LOGIC and how all your BELIEFS run on LOGIC (even the most illogical ones!) Take my word for it or read on… Let me say this again: Your beliefs run on logic! Illogical logic that we create to PROTECT ourselves, to keep us SAFE… They get to be logical for our brain to command taking action, to create neural connections, behavioural patterns that fulfil the pictures and visions we created of ourselves and the world in the first precious years of our life in this form. They get to be logical, illogically logical for our life to make nonsensical sense. To our body and brain as a physiological structure, as that beautifully stunning and complex machine that serves […]

One of the key reasons people don’t get better from chronic health issues. It’s not the food they eat, or the supplements they do or don’t take… It’s not even the missing infections present that have been missed for years. In so many people that struggle to get better and STAY better, It’s their home environment that keeps them sick. One area many miss is living in an environment that is toxic to your health. Now, I’m not talking personal relationships with yourself or others, Simply the physical house you live. People often don’t realise that the internal house environment can be worse than the environment outside. So, if you have long term health issues and can’t seem to solve […]

You might have read my last update and if you haven’t, no sweat. As I spoke about in the last update, blood glucose control isn’t just essential for diabetics, Millions of people have very poor blood glucose management which is resulting in them having… Brain fog Poor Memory Gut Issues Nerve issues and much more. Many in the fitness space believe there is little that can be done to stabilise or affect blood glucose as its regulated so tightly by the body. (that’s cute, maybe that’s why they should stick to bicep curls in the rack). Anyhoo, the body DOES regulate blood glucose via hormones like insulin (brings it down) and glucagon (brings it up), yet as with anything to […]

So, as promised, I’ll keep you updated with the experiment of wearing a constant blood glucose monitoring system. So far, here’s the biggest trends for me… DIET The diet I am on due to previous health issues is ketogenic (which is tough to get right, I’ll speak about that another time). Thus, my blood glucose as you can imagine doesn’t get crazy spikes or is elevated much at all. Cognitively, I function best around 4.2 – 4.4 as my readings and 4.2 is my weekly average. On Sunday I had my first ‘carb’ up day in 4 weeks to see how my body would respond. I was very active that day (18k steps & rollerblading) so I didn’t just sit […]

TAKE YOUR SLEEP FROM 5 OUT OF 10 TO 8 OUT OF 10 IN JUST 1 MONTH. My sleep used to be 53 out of 100 and I’d get less than 20 minutes deep sleep a night. Here’s what I did to now average over 80. 1. I stopped eating my last meal within 3 hours of bed. 2. I started tracking my HRV and adjusted my training based on recovery. 3. I use blue blockers 2 hours before bed. 4. I get most of my activity in the first part of the day 5. I balanced my blood glucose better. 6. I fixed underlying inflammation issues. I found it so strange that for so many years I could fix […]

… and not like a bear with a sore head! Women on average sleep worse than men and report more long term sleep problems (says the science). – Would you say this is your experience, or are you a lady that sleeps great and your male partner doesn’t? Either way, we are in a sleep epidemic right now and it should concern us all. Sleep regulates mood, lord knows we are all horrid to be around when you’ve had a poor nights sleep. It’s like trying to reason with a bear with a sore head, right? There certainly are a few reasons WHY women might not sleep as well as men, 1. They often are more empathetic, compassionate and outwardly […]

There are some key things that are big contributors to it that people don’t know. 1. Too much sugar in your diet Simply put there is a delicate balance in the body of how much glucose is allowed in the blood stream at one point. The reason being, too much is toxic, too little will see you become very sick. MANY people in the Save Your Brain workshop have tested their blood glucose and are shocked by the scores. Many coming up in diabetic ranges. Like our client Lisa, she went to get her eyes tested and glasses prescription 3 times in 18 month thinking its poor eye sight. Actually, when we reduced her levels, her sight was fine and […]

Depression, its not the brains fault. The lie many have been sold over and over is that depression is caused by an imbalance of the chemicals in the brain. I’ll not go into detail here but there was some pretty sketchy science in the 60’s that laid the foundations for the multi-billion anti-depressant industry we see today. I won’t stand here and tell you I have all the answers and know of a ‘better way’. Yet facts are pretty clear, the drugs that are so happily handed out to people are poor at best. The science shows us that the actual rate of effectiveness compared to placebo is minimal. So why are they so readily given out? That’s a long […]

If you think your memory declining, forgetfulness, low zest for life and depression are a sign of ageing. It’s not correct. More than ever, young people are suffering with the above without having an idea of how to solve it. Essentially you have to look at these 6 steps: 1. Learn HOW the brain works 2.

3 Types Of Brain Inflammation (And How to change it)
Brain inflammation is often thought as dementia or
alzheimer's disease, when in reality it’s more complex.

If I had to stop emotional eating, lose weight and feel confident, I’d do this… 5 Ways To Stop Sabotaging, Feeling Overwhelmed & Anxious. I can often tell who will fail and who will succeed in getting what they say they want. Over and over I see 2 primary reasons why people stay in overwhelm, anxiety and depressive episodes. 1. Environment. No matter how much you convince yourself that your negative friends, family or colleagues don’t affect you. They do. Science shows us over and over that people shrink themselves to fit in. Sometimes they do it just enough so they are the big fish in the small pond. Yet over time it wears you down having to defend yourself, […]

(The Plan Our Client Used) Before we start I want to tell you a little about this client. She is from New Zealand, in her late 30’s and has an autoimmune disease. She has worked with doctors, naturopaths, personal trainers and more. (And none of them technically did anything wrong) All she ever sees is weight loss start to happen, then it just seems to magically stop without explanation. This obviously leads to confusion and frustration……which leads to then eating and drinking things that are a problem for her. When she was referred to me, I made it clear that the reason she hasn’t succeeded was because she was doing things BACKWARDS. She looked a little confused and also a […]

You can’t ‘cure’ an autoimmune disease… (long post but worth it if you struggle with ‘tough’ health issues’) But it can get in the long term, symptom free remission If you know the 7 main triggers. I see so much BS on the internet and fundamental lack of understanding of what a autoimmune disease is. When you trigger a autoimmune disease which is clinically recognised, that’s stage 3. You have lost ‘tolerance’ to that tissue and it’s never coming back. I learnt it the hard way. Yet, what people with autoimmune don’t know is that there is also stage 1 and stage 2. Stage 1 being ‘silent’ – this stage you have antibodies being produced but there is no tissue […]

Why We Are Never Happy With Our Body – The Fat Self Vs The Skinny Self. I’ve spoken about the physical issues that stop / slow weight loss. Now let’s look emotionally / mentally what stops us… Have you ever been sat on a sofa, watching some high level sport or reading an inspiring transformation in a magazine and felt: “I’ve got to sort myself out” “Why have I let myself go so much” “Now is the time to get my arse in gear” These thoughts and desires all come from the ‘skinny self’ The skinny self is detail orientated, driven, motivated, demanding and a little obsessed. So you start the very next day, get up early and exercise, drop […]

Our ego protects us from the truth of our soul To ignore the whisper We create noise Our childlike insecurities create stories about situations and people To keep us in a safe confine of our mind Distracted from our heart And what lives deep within False sense of security we created in everything that we believe matters Yet when you allow yourself to surrender To the HERE and NOW of THIS MOMENT You see straight through All that matters you so carefully have built up around you Dissipates Dismantles And Disappears Even though in the physical realm it is still there You detach yourself from it You pass it on or leave it behind And once again You relax…Into the […]

The No.1 Simple Step To Improve Focus, Energy & Clarity of Mind…. Oh, and stop cravings and binge eating. No, it’s not a tactic or strategy in your business, heck it’s not even blue light blocking glasses. It’s balancing your blood 🩸 glucose levels. Do you know. Blood glucose regulates your mood, energy, hunger, sleep and much more? It sounds too simple to be true but I see it with so many women we work with. They have poor glucose management and think it’s symptoms of thinks like ADD for instance. I’ll save you the biochemistry lesson, yet I’d love to share this with you. 1. High blood glucose levels will fuel low level inflammtion over time that will imbalance things like […]

Ever felt like you’re your own worst enemy when it comes to your diet? I don’t even like using the word diet as it immediately brings thoughts of restriction What we eat and why is a way of life and that can either support your health or destroy it Been there, done that And to be totally honest this is a bit of a confession… See only a little while back every time I was about to complete a work task or finish a project I’d find myself mindlessly rummaging through the kitchen cupboards or going straight for the fridge door to check what yum stuff I can find in there I’d literally go for anything salty or crunchy I […]

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 […]
