Intermittent fasting and chronic disease
Intermittent fasting and chronic disease A recent study on the 16:8 intermittent fast (the 8 hour eating window one) found it increased the likelihood of cardiovascular disease by 91%. It got debunked, but not before the results went viral and contributed to the stress and confusion around diets and food in general. We need to […]
Hurkle-durkle (lying in bed) is not good for mental health!
I remember back in 1994, I went to a seminar by Dr Leon Hammer, a famed clinical psychotherapist and Chinese medicine expert, and someone I really admire. I read his books so often they fall apart. Anyway, during his presentation he warned us that spleen function was rapidly declining in people and that this would […]

Spiritual Secrets To Looking Young One of the latest healthy ageing measures is your ‘real organ age’. There’s this theory that some of our organs ‘fall apart’ or age faster than others and this can predict onset of specific diseases (Harvard). They seem to think that when organs ‘fall apart’ there’s nothing we can do. […]
How to lose belly fat: add chi
The theme of the week is belly fat. It came into my mind (I’m usually getting what’s an issue on people’s minds out there), then clients presented with it, and then I heard health reports on it (this always happens to me, it’s like when you get a Mini, you see Mini’s everywhere). Latest stats […]

Fear used to save us. These days it’s ruining us. Fearing the future, fearing change, fearing death, fearing speaking your truth, fearing what people will think if you follow your dreams, it’s all piling up.

The solution for information overload: upgrade yourself
We’re not even 3 weeks in to 2024 and so many people are telling me they’re feeling scattered, they’ve had enough, are not ‘with it’, or need a holiday, that I think we need to rethink how to reset. Back in the old early 21st century days there was an end-of-year break, things felt finalised […]

I just came across research finding that over 40% of the population had had a profound spiritual experience or spiritual awakening that changed the direction of their life, but that most of them don’t talk about it.
