Too much is just as bad as too little
As one of the great founders of Nature-based Medicine, Hippocrates, once said “Dosis Facit Venemon”. Translated, this literally means ‘The Dosage is the Poison’… Yes.. too much of anything (or too little) will kill you. I know this might seem like a no-brainer comment to most of you, but one of the most common things…

Hibernation Mode; Keeping your focus during the colder months
Is it just me, or has Mother Nature just turned out the lights?! I have a feeling this Winter is going to be a cold one. During the colder, darker months, most of us like to slip into a hibernation-like mode; Clothes become bulkier and can hide those few extra kilos; motivation to move diminishes…

Food + Exercise + Mindset = Happiness
At the risk of sounding like the Sheldon Cooper of the Naturopathic world, today I want to talk a little about the Chemistry of our emotions and mood… (One of my absolute favorite topics, so forgive me when I keep on talking… lol.) Mental health is by far one of the largest “issues” I see…

Motivation alone will not allow you to achieve your goals!!!!
I used to think that it was a motivation that got you to achieve your goals… That the sparks of excitement would power me through to achieving glorious things!

The mouse in the bathtub; Finding your motivation
This morning I was woken by a strange noise at around 5 am. Being the mum of two young children I naturally assumed that it was one of them so I waited a good ten minutes to see if they would settle themself- after all, they weren’t crying. The noise didn’t stop, so I went…

You can’t eat an elephant in one bite
Ok… Hopefully, by now you have taken the time to sit and at least ponder the idea of what it is that you’d like to achieve. You’ve listed your goal(s), and also made a comparable list of the things you would like to leave behind. And no, I don’t mean your mother-in-law! Even though you have conceived…

Why Cortisol prevents you from losing weight
There is currently a huge awakening in the ‘weight loss world’ around the idea that your hormonal state has FAR MORE pull on your weight and health than the food that you eat. All I can say is, finally! Someone is making some sense. For anyone who has ever worked with me, I am sure you…
