Stress – Is It Derailing Your Efforts?

Stress – our reaction to the things that happen.

We all deal with things differently. Something which is stressful for one person, doesn’t even register for another.

In the short term and in the right dose, stress can feel like it gives us a nice boost – we feel energised, clear headed, focussed and ready to take on whatever comes at us.

An overdose of stress can lead to some pretty big negatives – disregulated blood sugar, hormone disruption, reduced immunity, poor sleep, compromised digestion, a preference to store body fat… In short, too much stress can make it harder to reach […]

In last weeks email I explained that you must be in a calorie deficit if you’re to lose weight, and I discussed several factors which influence both the energy we consume, and the energy our bodies use. These factors can explain why one person might lose weight on a certain diet, whereas someone else might not.

I said at the end of that email that you could make many of the factors work in your favour, so today, I wanted to give you some proper action points. If we can increase the energy our body needs to just stand […]

Happy New Year!

January is the time of new beginnings – many of us are starting the year with a diet.

But, did you know that only 20% of people will be successful this year?

That means 80% of people will fail at reaching their diet related goal, most of them within the first two months of the year.

I’m going to do a free video talk to help you be part of the 20% of people who will achieve their health and fitness goals this year. It’ll be on Tuesday 18th January at 10am, and it’ll […]

If you’re not in your 20’s any more, this series is for you!

As we start to get older, our bodies become a little different – I’m sure you’ve noticed that since you left your 20’s, things just don’t work quite the same any more.

But, getting older doesn’t mean you can’t do the exercise you enjoy and be fit, strong, flexible and healthy. Often, we can become even better than when we were younger.

This said, there are definitely legitimate changes around how we should approach exercise as we start to get […]

About Your Foot Posture

Strap yourselves in for this one. It’s a bit of a long one, all about your feet – but I hope you find it interesting and helpful!

Unless we’re in pain, most of us rarely think about our feet, but the mobility and ‘posture’ of our feet is a huge factor in the way we move.

In fact, a growing percentage of us wear orthotics daily, hoping to reduce pain or correct foot movement or posture.

And orthotics can work. Supporting the arch of your foot does provide pain relief – but, they should only be a short term solution […]

I’ve recorded this email as a video as well. You can find it on Facebook or Instagram.

While there are a lot of constants in all programs written for weight loss (or at least there should be, let’s exclude weird faddy diets here!).

Any well designed weight loss focussed program should be based on real food, include some variation of resistance training and give some focus to the impact of lifestyle factors like stress management or sleep quality.

But when we start to look at the specifics, we see that knowing exactly where to focus your attention, how […]

Sometimes, it can feel like we’re doing everything right yet we don’t feel as good as we feel we should given the effort we’re making.

There’s a massive array of things which can cause this, but to get you started, here are some things to look at:

Diet
Regardless of what the theory says, and regardless of how well an approach worked for your friend, sometimes the diet you’re eating just doesn’t suit you. If you […]

Could This Help Your Evening Over Eating?

I’ve recorded this email as a video as well. You can find it on Facebook or Instagram.

Eating food you wouldn’t usually eat, in quantities you hardly remember eating, in the evenings seems a huge issue for so many of us.

We easily justify eating calories equal to a generous meal, after only just eating our dinner.

I’ve written about it fairly often, and there are still more aspects to evening overeating that we can talk about.

I do think it can be fixed. One of the many factors I’ve written about before is likely to […]

All About Omega 3 & 6

I’ve recorded this email as a video as well. You can find it on Facebook or Instagram.

Omega 3 and 6 are considered essential fats – i.e. fat that you need to eat because your body cannot make it itself. Yet, the focus is always on omega 3 – why is that?

Omega 6 intake needs to be considered less because it is found in things we tend to eat a lot of anyway.

Any type of ready made food is likely to be high in omega 6, since vegetable oils are both high in omega 6 and are in […]

It is all too easy to spend all day sitting these days, yet most of us want to maintain our health and fitness – and still be able to fit into our ‘nice clothes’ when this is all over!

General movement, which we largely used to achieve without a conscious plan, now needs to be intentionally added into our day – and the time needs to be strictly guarded!

Before we were stuck at home, regardless of what structured exercise we were doing, it […]
