Is the life of our ancestors really what we should be striving for?

I'm really tired of the campaign to move closer to eating and existing as our ancestors did. We live in a society where it is impossible to eat let alone to live as our ancestors lived.

Have You got the Guts to be Healthy?

There is now no doubt that the number of diseases in the Western world is growing at an ever-increasing rate. It seems as though everyone has something that needs attention or conditions that are not improving. With disease and obesity ever increasing in our world, we have to stop and ask the question, ‘What are we doing that is not working?’

Detox - Should We Really?

If your body is highly symptomatic and you are trying to regain some control, be mindful of the trap of perfectionism. Perfection and being 100% symptom-free 100% of the time is impossible, and that goal can add stress which becomes inflammatory and actually burdens our body and our liver. Tread softly with self-compassion as the goal is to improve our habits in a way that supports detoxification, without driving ourselves to obsession.

Intuition and Fat Loss

Balance your weight where it begins, which is not in the gym but where you eat, sleep, live, learn and play. Your intuition knows that every choice has a direct impact on the equilibrium and stability of your weight.

Summer Digestion

Until now I had never considered the impact of engaging in light, easy, pleasant conversation, and it’s the effect it can have on digestion. I now choose to avoid intense subjects, heated discussions, arguing, or unrestrained chatter about others involving details that are not confirmed as being true, during meals and my body is loving it ❤︎
