Infrared Sauna Therapy - Weight Loss & Body Composition
Infrared Sauna Therapy - Weight Loss & Body Composition

It is crucial that every individual man/women spends time in parasympathetic dominance. But perhaps the most demanding times are leading into winter (where are resistance to bugs needs to be top notch), in heavy training and high perceived stress periods and in peri-menopause and menopause, because these are predominantly times that invite the body to hang in survival mode. If we stay situated in this survival mode over extended periods of time, eventually disease ensues, exercise gains are difficult, hormonal benefits are lost, abdominal weight can creep up as the natural healing mechanisms of the body are not able to engage fully.

Unplugging from the Grid!
Unplugging from the Grid!

Have you ever looked at someone with a six pack or killer legs or a sculpted rear and convinced yourself that you would be happy once you arrived there? Whilst drawing that conclusion, have you thought about what it might take, what sacrifices you may need to make to get there? Is it a priority over other things in you current life?

Intermittent Fasting - How it Affects Females
Intermittent Fasting - How it Affects Females

The returns of Intermittent fasting on both myself and those I see in my female clients, has allowed me to observe the complexities and cryptic nature of this tool, specific to the female sex.  I have personally experienced metabolic distress, energetic wakefulness at the wrong times, and a negative jolt to my adrenal system.  Many other women report to me that intermittent fasting causes sleeplessness, anxiety, and irregular periods, among many other symptoms of hormone imbalance, and an unhealthy relationship with food.  But I don’t see these things being mentioned in the blogosphere, ever?

EPIC GIVEAWAY!!!

2020 is going to be strongly about our chemical messengers (hormones), including insulin, cortisol, ACTH, thyroid, prolactin, growth hormone, testosterone, progesterone and estrogen (amongst many more) and their connection and exertion on human performance and health.  My Women's Hormonal Balance and Fat Loss online program is an introduction to the female affects of the above, but as we move forward into 2020 I will dig into the deeper realms of hormonal effects on both sexes in terms of chemical, physical and mental health and achievement.

The Power of Oxygen
The Power of Oxygen

A common bodily response during intense exertion or stress (even anxiety and panic) is difficulty in breathing. You know the feeling - short, shallow laboured breathing.

Rest and digest
Rest and digest

Spend time in parasympathetic status (rest and digest). This nervous state increases motility and secretion by digestive organs, relaxes sphincters to allow foodstuffs to move through your tract! It also increases glucose uptake from blood and excited the gallbladder to expel bile! = better digestion and assimilation of nutrients from your food for more energy and health 🌱

Do you want sugar with that?
Do you want sugar with that?

Pretty much every single study that espouses the benefits of coffee does refer to black coffee. No heavy cream or traditional sugars. So keep this in mind when your to order your third cappuccino.

How do you want to feel?
How do you want to feel?

Discover how you want to feel. It’s important. Setting goals without feelings is a sign you are just making a list, another thing to do. When you know how you want to feel when chasing your goal, it’s easier to make decisions and to be clear as to what is moving you toward the end result and what is moving you away.
