<p>To increase the quality of your life it’s imperative to reduce sustained stress.</p>



<p>Science shows us the more sustained our stress is the more we&#8230;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Make poor decisions-reduce memory</li></ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Affect sleep quality</li></ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Reduce empathy for another</li></ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Become more selfish</li></ul>



<p>This is to name a few of a long list.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>Stress can be measured on how out of ‘control’ you feel and the associated risk attached.</p>



<p>So a rollercoaster hits both lack of control and slight risk but many find it FUN.</p>



<p>Yet, financial struggle in a struggling economy shoots many people off the scale of stress and how sustained it is.</p>



<p>When I work with professionals and clients I always want them to understand that we as humans have amazing abilities yet sustained stress makes us dumb.</p>



<p><strong><em>Literally.</em></strong></p>



<p>As with anything, the body will re-regulate, so if you have sustained stress over a long period you don’t just suffer the effect of the ‘event’, it’s affects the pathways in the body.</p>



<p>Some key areas would be lack of drive or contentment for life </p>



<p>Lowered sexual function and drive</p>



<p>Depression due to over stimulation of neurotransmitter pathways.</p>



<p>Again, just to name a few!</p>



<p>People try all sorts to combat stress but what we do most often which is kind of depressing is ‘project’ our stress on another.</p>



<p>As Dr R.Salposky said &#8220;We’d rather give another an ulcer than have our own’.</p>



<p>Stress over a long period doesn’t just contribute to every metabolic illness, it pushes away the people that you care about.</p>



<p>People think meditation or exercise is enough, yet look at stress rates, they just rise and rise.</p>



<p>I believe one of the key things we are missing is understanding of WHY we respond to stress in the way we do.</p>



<p>Whether Marta and I deal with corporate clients, pro athletes or professionals we always want them to understand their BEHAVIOUR and its triggers.</p>



<p>You don’t actually make a choice on behaviour in the moment, that’s just neurotransmitters firing,</p>



<p>You don’t even make it a few hours to days before, that’s just hormonal pathways&#8230;</p>



<p>Our behaviours around stress are patterned long before we can imagine.</p>



<p>Thus, simple ‘habit’ change work like ‘morning routine’ without letting someone know why they will likely give up is in my opinion fruitless.</p>



<p><strong>When you can understand behaviours and what contributes to them, you take back power</strong>.</p>



<p>More importantly you can contextualise fear.</p>



<p>See it differently and <strong>EXPERIENCE it differently.</strong></p>

<p>If You Have Long Term Inflammation Issues &#8211; Here’s 7 Reasons Weight Loss Shouldn’t Be Your Goal.</p>



<p>If you struggle with:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Gut issues</li><li>Headaches</li><li>Skin issues</li><li>Autoimmune</li><li>Other inflammatory issues</li></ul>



<p>Your focus should be on what we call the the<strong> Top Down Approach.</strong></p>



<p>You have to make sure&#8230;</p>



<p></p>



<p>1. The brain is healthy &#8211; sounds extreme but many people have issues with swallowing food, with constipation and yeast issues.</p>



<p>Moreover, if you struggle with smell, taste and saliva production, these are further signs of brain dysfunction.</p>



<p>Much of this is due to poor signalling of the brain (parasympathetic nervous system)</p>



<p></p>



<p>2. Ensure adequate levels of stomach acid and enzymes.</p>



<p>As you age, with stress &amp; infections you drive down stomach acid which ruins things like protein digestion.</p>



<p>Often people that say ‘protein makes me feel heavy’ are struggling here.</p>



<p></p>



<p>3. Gallbladder issues.</p>



<p>If you are lucky to still have this, the production and flow of bile is essential.</p>



<p>With poor flow, you will become deficient in fat soluble vitamins.</p>



<p>Meaning you will struggle with sex hormone production (and any day based hormones)</p>



<p></p>



<p>4. Intestinal valve issues.</p>



<p>When the above is present you are at greater risk of SIBO, a condition when you have a reflow of bacteria into the small intestine.</p>



<p>If this is you, you’ll find that HIGH FODMAP foods will be a real struggle for you.</p>



<p></p>



<p>5. Immune barrier (leaky gut)</p>



<p>Many practitioners try to fix this issue first and it’s pointless if you don’t address the above issues.</p>



<p>Moreover, you have to ensure your immune system is working well.</p>



<p>If you are reacting to lots of foods, have skin issues, migraines and such like,</p>



<p>Calming the immune response becomes upmost important.</p>



<p></p>



<p>6. Microbiome Diversity.</p>



<p>We are 100% that the diversity of the microbiome is shrinking in the western world.</p>



<p>Low diversity is associated to more diseases than I can write here.</p>



<p>When we eat the same meals all the time,</p>



<p>Have low fibre diets</p>



<p>Drink alcohol in excess</p>



<p>Don’t sleep well&#8230;</p>



<p>All negativity effect microbiome health.</p>



<p></p>



<p>7. Chronic infections (large intestine)</p>



<p>Your large intestine is home to a huge array of diverse bacteria / yeast and much more.</p>



<p>However, when we get stressed, get travel illnesses, over exercise, have a poor diet.</p>



<p>We fail to protect ourselves from infections, both bacterial and parasites.</p>



<p>I could write 10 more with ease but hopefully you get the idea why so many people struggle to lose weight</p>



<p>And keep it off.</p>



<p>That’s why on the women only WOW program we address inflammation and show you how to correct it,</p>



<p>As when you do.</p>



<p>Weight loss is EASY.</p>



<p>And good news, this weeks live training in the group will run you through exactly how to action the above.</p>



<p>Plus, if you join in the next few days you save yourself 25%</p>

<p>Regardless if it&#8217;s to do with thyroid, gut or brain&#8230;</p>



<p>We work with complex clients and autoimmune issues are at the top of nearly<em><strong> all</strong></em> complex issues.</p>



<p>Sadly, conventional medicine is awful when it comes to autoimmune, and you likely will just end up on immunosuppressant drugs that cause other long term issues.</p>



<p>I also have a <strong>personal interest</strong> in this after being symptom and medication free for the last <em>11 years.</em></p>



<p>So, without further ado, here&#8217;s the list <em>(it might surprise you)</em>&#8230;</p>



<p></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">1. Not taking dietary restriction serious </h4>



<p>Loss of tolerance &#8211; The reality is that once you have lost tolerance to parts of your immune system, there are certain foods and cross reactors that are off the list for life likely.</p>



<p>Things like <strong>gluten and dairy</strong>. </p>



<p>Sadly, most don&#8217;t really understand autoimmune and because they only get mild symptoms when they eat trigger foods, they think its not so bad. Wrong!</p>



<p>Think of autoimmune like a spinning wheel, the more trigger foods you keep eating, the faster that ball spins, causing more symptoms and worse issues are later in life.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2. Don’t have a diverse microbiome </h4>



<p>People that have started to educate themselves on autoimmune issues become aware of trigger foods and start to cut them out. As there can be lots of reactive foods, they end up on a very restrictive diet.</p>



<p>This <strong>reduces</strong> the diversity of the microbiome and will actually <strong>create more problems</strong> long term.</p>



<p>One thing we have to work on with autoimmune is oral tolerance, ensuring your are getting enough diverse fibres and foods you can tolerate without symptoms.</p>



<p></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">3. Chemical exposures</h4>



<p> We all know we are exposed to air pollution, but sadly our homes are home to some of the <strong>worst toxins</strong> out there. From commercial cleaners, pressed woods, mould and much more.</p>



<p>Doing a full audit of your living conditions is essential to ensure you progress.</p>



<p></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">4. Silent infections that trigger autoimmune </h4>



<p>There are silent infections like H. Pylori that have been proven to tigger autoimmune responses within people.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s very important, even if you have no symptoms to rule out silent infections as they will 100% slow your progress and chance of hitting remission.</p>



<p></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">5. Not getting enough sleep</h4>



<p>It&#8217;s totally possible to have a great diet, good hydration, low stress AND move your body, but <strong>BAD sleep will hold you back.</strong></p>



<p>You should be sleeping through the night for at least 7 hours.</p>



<p></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">6. Circadian Rhythm </h4>



<p>This is to do with consistency of meals, light exposure and movement.</p>



<p>If you are irregular with meals, sedentary and spend a lot of time indoors under artificial lighting, these will all <strong>negatively</strong> affect your progress.</p>



<p></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">7. Not enough movement </h4>



<p>Linked to the above, it&#8217;s important to move our bodies in line with what you can recover 100% from by the next day.</p>



<p>For some it might just be brisk walking, as where for others it might be more vigorous. However, you have to be moving your body to help bring up the bodies resilience.</p>



<p></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">8. Do things that make YOU happy / have goals / hobbies</h4>



<p>If you feel lost in life and don&#8217;t know where you are going&#8230;</p>



<p>This causes stress, that stress has a potent effect on the immune system and will hold you back.</p>



<p>Thus making sure you have things you enjoy and are working towards are essential.</p>



<p></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">9. Unhealthy relationships</h4>



<p> If you have very poor at home or work relationships, this stress is holding you back.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s very often seen that when people resolve these issues, their conditions calm down and they reach remission faster.</p>



<p></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">10. Being a passive client </h4>



<p>This is when you go to the doctor and ask if food plays a role in your illness, they say no and you accept it.</p>



<p>You have to become the investigator, the chief researcher for your autoimmune issue.</p>



<p>Autoimmune is very very complex and it often will take years of doctors and advice to find the right approach for you.</p>



<p>The good news is that the help is out there, you just have to be ready to jump on board and make things happen.</p>



<p><strong>P.s Note that I didn&#8217;t put supplements on the above list.</strong></p>



<p>In reality, <strong>autoimmune is much more of a functional issue, not a deficiency of supplements</strong>.</p>



<p>Thus, when you correct the above, you&#8217;ll see a huge uptake in the quality of your life.</p>
