Thankfully more and more information is coming out as to why women are different from men and why women need to eat, train and recover differently to men but not only that- why women need to adjust these factors with each day.

This blog is designed to create lasting and successful behaviour changes. If your change your mindset and behaviours you’ll be able to fit in enough wellness measures into your day to see good health and fitness improvements in your life without necessarily needing more time.

When you think of fitness what springs to mind? Running 10 k’s, bootcamps, spin classes or all of the above?

Fitness can mean so many things to different people but I like to put into the everyday life so answer me these 10 questions and let me know how many out of 10 you say yes to-

Being that I research daily on all health related topics I sometimes get asked what professionals I follow. The list is quite vast as I love hearing the many varying opinions on subjects but I’ve listed just a handful of them below with links to their websites.

Ok, so we’re surrounded by them- that’s a weird thoughts. And we need to look after them right. So does this mean that we should use clothing to hold them up and keep them from moving anywhere? The answer seems to point to no- not for most of the time anyway.

I’m actually writing this blog while being a little unwell. I don’t get sick very often but I had to convince myself, even with everything I know, that I should take the next couple of days off to rest and recover. It’s sometimes really hard to stop.

This is a question I’ve been asked more than once and with the Ketogenic diet gaining popularity I thought I’d share this article addressing this topic.

I see so many health and movement issues in my clients that are driven out of lack of movement or those who do single repetitive movements. The simple notion of moving more feels too hard in the ever increasing demands on our free time.

I never start the new year with resolutions to change. For me, starting to implement health changes whilst on holiday just isn’t going to succeed. Others do have good results with this focus but the evidence seems to point to those successful people are in the minority.

In the world today there are thousands of chemicals and other toxins that can affect our body in many ways. A common one used in our food supply and in many households is Roundup by Monsanto. This product has recently been proven to cause cancer and yet some still use this product every day without caution.

It’s always a bit nervy for me doing public speaking but I do it as I’m on a mission to help give people practical ideas in the hope it will give them a better quality of life.

We all like to think we can get away with things without there being any consequences- maybe driving too fast, taking risks at work or lying about something to make life easier for yourself.

How often you go to the loo, the smell and the texture can tell you a lot about a person’s health.

We can quite happily talk about detox with diets but sometimes we don’t like to talk about one of the most important forms of detox, which is going to the loo.

If there’s one statement my clients have heard me say on more than one occasion is that it’s not so much how you move in that short time when I’m with them coaching them but more how they move on everyday movements such as eating meals, cleaning teeth, putting on shoes, gardening, playing with kids etc.

Trying to eat healthy foods regularly is always a challenge. Eating healthily means different things to different people but I’m just going to give you some guidelines on fruits and veggies as hopefully these are a big part of everyone’s diets whether vegan, vegetarian or meat lovers.

There are many different ways to train. Your training method can depend on the results that you are after. So, if you’re doing body building type exercises in the gym or at home then you should expect those kind of results. If you run a lot then you’re training for just that type of exercise.

The funny thing about health and fitness (apart from my title) is that no matter how deep I dive into the research about what’s good for us, what’s not and why, it all comes back to some simple things I’ve talked about in previous blogs like moving in nature, eating fresh local produce, sleeping a restorative sleep and having a happy community around you for support and friendship.

Are you sure what you’re doing is correct when you have an injury like a swollen joint? The RICE concept may or may not be the best go to for healing your body.

What could possibly be bad about having regular green smoothies? Well, as you know from my approach, anything can be problematic, it just depends on the person and the situation. I’ve recommended having smoothies as it can be a great addition to some, some of the time.
