Note-Week 1 blog entry on The benefits of sleep, will be released shortly. 

To you, my friends and my health companions, 

We are all on this journey together striving to achieve balance and a healthy relationship with our bodies. 

The purpose of my blog is to dismantle the ongoing myths and contradictory messages that have contributed to all of our health and weight worries! 

What I think...

That the relationship between food and your body should be based on kindness and respect, not guilt and deprivation.

It has taken me a long time to look in the mirror and smile back (without the barking criticism). Let's rather work towards loving ourselves. 

When I gave up the fight, I shed the kilos! Life is now peaceful.

What I think...

There are so many opinions when it comes to health, how do we know who to listen to?

Making a decision to live a healthy life is a choice that requires forgiveness of the past and a commitment for your future, a long future.

Individuals cannot obtain optimal health until a state of hormonal equilibrium is restored; this requires not just a good diet, but more sleep, less stress and internal happiness. Most people don't follow this truthful theory. And therefore suffer health complications. 

The body is better able to burn fat when it is fed whole-foods and repopulated with healthy flora.

We are overfed, yet starving of nutrients, and this is why we overeat. You are nutritionally unsatisfied. But not to blame. It’s the way food is marketed and packaged. Selling food is a multi billion dollar business at the end of the day. 

We cannot feel better until we do better.

Healthy eating and a healthy weight will follow (with ease) once we have the skills in place to find the happiness (psychological wellbeing), motivation and balance that we so deserve. And when that is achieved, healthy eating is just second nature.

We are able to maximise our natural metabolic function through food and specific supplements. If we feed our bodies with goodness, it will restore natural vitality. 

Diet and lifestyle choices should be based on your nutritional needs and although this sounds simple, most of us don’t actually know what we need.

Since no two people are the same, no two diets should be the same either. Its time we focus on the uniqueness of individuals. There is not just one formula that suits all. Its absurd.

THERE IS a way around this confusion of health facts thrown our way. There is a way to live without worrying about your weight and watch everything that passes your mouth.
There is a way to wake up with energy and feel excited for your day, everyday. 

All aspects of life have an affect on your health, mainly sleep and stress, and that's just the truth. 

Your body is your temple.

What I think...

Life is too short to feel deprived, unhappy, anxious and overweight. 

The goal is to wake up and love yourself (as unattainable as that may sound).

Remember, your body loves you. It does everything it can to keep you alive and functioning. Now its time to love it back.
