A few good reasons to steer well clear of Artificial Sweeteners!

5 Reasons to Ditch Artificial Sweeteners

As I included this quote from Louise Hay, in a follow up email for one of my clients, I was reminded of a time some 20 years ago when I was sitting with a meditation group that I was part of and sharing my "woes" of the time.

An older, wise woman said to me "that all is exactly as it is meant to be, how could it be anything else". At the time I found this very comforting.

So just in case you are feeling a bit at sea today here are some comforting words.

In the infinity of life where I am, 🪐

all is perfect, whole and complete. 🥰

I no longer choose to believe in limitations and lack. 🔓

I now choose to begin to see myself

As the universe sees me - perfect whole and complete. 🥰

The truth of my being is that I was created 👩

perfect, whole and complete. 🥰

I will always be perfect, whole and complete. 🥰

I now choose to live my life from this understanding. 💫

I am in the right place at the right time doing the right thing. 🌟

All is well in my world. 🌎 🧡 🌈 ☀️ 🌻

Our bodies are designed to live in a state of relaxation, punctuated with moments of stress. 🌳

The reality for many people in the modern Western World is that they live in a state of stress punctuated by moments of relaxation. 💆🏼‍♀️

Healing is an action of the parasympathetic nervous system (the rest and digest system) and occurs when we are in a state of relaxation. 🧘‍♀️

Health and healing are not generally found in a 15 minute appointment and prescription from your Doctor. 🙎

A pharmaceutical intervention may provide some much needed symptom relief and even be life saving triage, but it does not deal with the route cause of the issue. 💊

Chronic health issues will not magically disappear even if a drug masks the symptoms.

They will always find another way to express themselves unless you address the route cause!

In order to heal and address the route cause we must reduce stress by bringing our bodies back into a state of balance. ⚖️

By using nutrition, eliminating toxins, reducing inflammation, changing mindset and making lifestyle changes so many chronic health issues are resolved. 🌳🍎🥦🥕💃🏻

The reality is you have to be prepared to make changes to how you live if you want your health to change!







PS. Walking in nature with a friend brings me great joy and is one of my favourite ways to relax. Look for joy!

We all know we feel much better after a good night’s sleep. Many healing and clearing processes take place while we sleep and good sleep is undeniably a critical foundation for complete health.
This interesting study shows the correlation between poor sleep and greater accumulation of the toxic proteins thought to be the pathological cause of Alzheimer’s disease.

A robust new study from researchers at UC Berkeley has found a consistent association between poor sleep and greater accumulation of the toxic proteins thought to be the pathological cause of Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers suggest fragmented sleep could be an effective early way to predict.....

What a difference 3 minutes can make!

I love this “calm Heart Meditation” from Kundalini Yoga. It relieves anxiety and promotes calmness and mental clarity.

You can begin, end or intersperse your day with this soothing breath practice.

Here’s how to do it:

* Sit in a comfortable position, with a straight spine and chin lightly tucked in so the neck is long.

* Place the left hand on the centre of the chest at the heart centre, fingers are parallel to the ground.

* With the right hand make Gyan Mudra (index finger and thumb touching) and raise it as if giving a pledge. Palm faces forward and the three fingers not in Gyan Mudra point up.

* Eyes are either closed or looking forward with 1/10th open.

* Breath: inhale slowly and deeply through both nostrils, then suspend the breath in for as long as is comfortable and raise the chest. Then exhale through the nose smoothly, gradually and completely. When the exhale is complete, lock the breath out for as long as is possible.

* Continue and concentrate on the flow of breath for 3 minutes or longer.

* To end: inhale and exhale strongly three times and then relax.

Enjoy this beautiful practice as you induce a feeling of calmness. ❤️💕❤️

I highly recommend the work of Dr Dale Bredesen for anyone with, or caring for someone with, cognitive decline and or Alzheimers.

From the age of 45 years, we should all be taking our brain health seriously.

In a condition which seams to have mainstream medicine "stumped" people following Dr Bredesen's protocols are having unprecedented recoveries. In this interview he discusses his latest book which focuses on the "ins and outs" of implementing the protocol.

It’s exciting to watch new developments in medicine, especially when new treatments for diseases are developed. Unfortunately, there is no treatment that has...

I came across this a couple of weeks ago and have been practicing it ever since. The most used phrase for me has been "Thank you for being patient with my reply".....and what a difference that makes to how I feel about myself.

Self love has many flavours.

The healthy part of you does not need to apologise for daring to be you!

This brilliant article by the Father of Functional Medicine, Jeffrey Bland PHD, explains the intersection between metabolic syndrome (which underlies co-morbidity) and the Virus called COVID19.

To quote him: “I believe these co-morbidities result from the complex interaction of individual genetics, lifestyle, environment, diet and the social determinants of disease”.

We cannot influence our genetics however we can take charge of which of our genes get expressed, our lifestyle, our environment and our diet. If we are in good health as we come across viruses and other pathogens our bodies are in a great position to respond.

As a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, I work with people to create Real Health. Health through nutrition, health through lifestyles that encourage movement and stress reduction and health by living in healthy environments.

“What happens when the world’s most prevalent non-communicable health condition and a highly infectious viral disease collide? We find ourselves in our new reality: a COVID-19 pandemic within a pandemic of metabolic syndrome.”

I have published a new article on Medium that I feel is one of the most important pieces I have ever written. I invite you to read it, share it, and tell me your feedback.
