Absolute claims are a heavy burden — we get stuck in one place, rather than exploring our possibilities.  The “don’t eat late” myth has caught many people and continues to harm healthy progress.  I’ve found trials that support eating early and then concluding your eating earlier in the day and those that show an advantage in late eaters, who delay their first meal of the day and  finish their eating for the day a little later.  On the surface of these studies there is no super impressive difference between the two.  But none of these trials  on offer are “perfect, real life studies”, there are so many compounding variants that destroy the credibility of a real life scenario.

The American Heart Association advisory warns against coconut oil, yet many zealot internet health advisors tout it’s benefits. Once again we are returned to the “nothing is black and white” caution. The minimum that you need to consider is that coconut may increase cardiovascular disease risk, but the evidence is super conflicting (we really don’t know). Observational evidence is positive, however trial evidence on humans is mixed.

Flexibility is a Force Multiplier - try doing this without good range of motion. People with good flexibility can use their strength through wider ranges of motion, so they can do things other people just can’t

Probiotics cannot help a sinking ship if the ship keeps taking in more water than it can cope with.  If you are still indulging in too many sweet treats you are wasting your money on probiotics.  Perhaps that is a motivator in itself for you to quell your sugar demon.

Interestingly, creatine monohydrate doesn’t just boost your muscle power, it also boosts your brain power! Creatine supplementation is in widespread use to enhance sports-fitness performance, and has been trialled successfully in the treatment of neurological, neuromuscular and atherosclerotic disease.

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.

There’s a suggestion that we are the average of the 5 people we spend most thought time with. Listening to too many voices with unchallenged dedication, can cloud our judgement. Connect with your instinct 💕

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 🌱

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.

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.

Before I had my children, I thought I knew all the boundaries of myself, that I understood the limits of my heart. It’s extraordinary to have all those limits thrown out, to realise your love is inexhaustible 💕💟💗

Please don’t use excess weight as an excuse to delay your happiness. Imagine yourself looking back at your life to realise that you didn’t fully live to your potential because you were too busy beating yourself up for the size of your body. Oh, what a painful regret ... what a tragedy. Plant the right seeds today.
