The body and mind can’t ever be separated when dealing with health We’ve said it time and time again Over and over You’ve heard it You (kinda) know it (Or maybe not…?) I still remember the times when both Cliff and I solely focused on the physical Circa 10 years ago Everything we’ve learnt was so powerful for us to first test out on ourselves and then implement with our clients We were already known as ‘the gut people’ Yet the game changed hugely for us, when I stepped into the realms of human emotions, the human mind, and the energy around it. Around November time, 2013, at a seminar with our very first mentors We learnt about a ‘belief […]

If You Are Not Where You Want With Your Body (and likely life) Here are some things to seriously consider that can help you right now. 1. Knowing your why Sounds cheesy but ‘losing weight’ isn’t enough, Neither is fitting in a dress or item of clothing. It has to be a deeper connection than that. Why does it matter the clothes you wear or how much weight you lose. What does it really mean to you? As in, do I feel unattractive to my partner etc. Be radically honest with yourself as if you are not, you give yourself unconscious permission to fall off the wagon. 2. Who you surround yourself with matters If all the people around you […]

With excess weight comes poor blood glucose management…. Aka, higher risk of not just diabetes but nearly ALL illnesses. A recent study showed people with poor blood glucose had much more severe symptoms of COVID. So, what does this mean to you if you carry weight? 1. Eat regular protein – This will help to stabilise blood glucose and avoid crashes (and binges) 2. Eat at regular times – This will ensure your body is prepared for when food arrives. The body is very clever and ‘prepares’ for food. But when you have irregular timings it acts as a stress on the body. 3. Avoid sugary foods and drinks – These imbalance blood glucose levels and lead you on a […]

Here’s WHY The Health & Wellness Space SUCKS Most Of The Time… (And 5 things we do to help frustrated clients) It’s a little rant but you might learn something about your own health and body… Today, I sat down with a big, strong dude, who on the outside looks fine. Yet, he reached out to me after hearing about the work I have done with others on their health. I asked him to describe what was happening for him and what he has done to date to remedy it. The smile dropped from his face as he started to recall where all this started 5 years ago. Some simple nerve pain in his face, progressed to issues with nerves […]

I SEE YOU, I FEEL YOU. It’s TIME to step up to embrace all the parts that you hide from YOURSELF and the world. You see, I know you hide desires from people close to you and friends alike. I know you bite your tongue to think you are keeping the peace. I know you people please in the hope that it will be reciprocated in the future. I know. Yet suppression is the leading manifestation of Depression. We are shaped and squished into these perfect little boxes that we paint in society, thing is everyone hates the boxes lol. If you are a creative then the idea of waking up to an alarm, driving to a building where you […]

Irrational fear = it’s 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, […]

If You Have Long Term Inflammation Issues – Here’s 7 Reasons Weight Loss Shouldn’t Be Your Goal. If you struggle with: Gut issues Headaches Skin issues Autoimmune Other inflammatory issues Your focus should be on what we call the the Top Down Approach. You have to make sure… 1. The brain is healthy – sounds extreme but many people have issues with swallowing food, with constipation and yeast issues. Moreover, if you struggle with smell, taste and saliva production, these are further signs of brain dysfunction. Much of this is due to poor signalling of the brain (parasympathetic nervous system) 2. Ensure adequate levels of stomach acid and enzymes. As you age, with stress & infections you drive down stomach […]

To increase the quality of your life it’s imperative to reduce sustained stress. Science shows us the more sustained our stress is the more we… Make poor decisions-reduce memory Affect sleep quality Reduce empathy for another Become more selfish This is to name a few of a long list. When I talk about sustained stress I’m of course not talking the ‘temporary’ out of control feeling that you get on a roller coaster. Stress can be measured on how out of ‘control’ you feel and the associated risk attached. So a rollercoaster hits both lack of control and slight risk but many find it FUN. Yet, financial struggle in a struggling economy shoots many people off the scale of stress […]

There comes a point when you have to decide if you desire short term results (quick fixes) or long term results (self empowerment). If an approach is sold to you to involve no active learning or challenging what you currently believe to be true, how will you know what to do when results slow or stop. I like the ‘keep it simple’ approach but are we over doing it. I mean, if it was working surely mental health numbers would be better, chronic disease lower. Right? Now, I am a science and spiritual dude and I love the geekery associated with it yet you don’t need a biochemistry textbook or some spiritual texts from 3000 years ago lodged in your […]

I’ve been speaking to clients a lot recently about POTENTIAL vs ABILITY 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 […]
