ARTArticleThe One Guarantee With ExerciseI used to see 600 people a year on a GP referral scheme I ran in South Wales. We linked up with many local doctors, hopsitals, physios and surgeries and the GP/Nurse/Physio would refer anyone on to us who they felt they would improve by carrying out a period of exercise. I did it for over 6 years, so I saw a fair few people, it was a very busy and popular scheme. We used to put people through a 12 week programme of exercise.ARTArticleThe Power of Your StoryMany people go through life creating by default; they just aren’t clear about what they really want. They become hung up on how much is going wrong in their life or in the world. And once that happens, they start to tell a story—they construct a narrative around the grim details that have captured their attention. “People ask too much of me.” “My house is a mess.” “I don’t have enough money to do what I really want.” We’ve all heard these tales, and what’s worse, we’ve all told them.ARTArticleThe Problem With Short Term Exercise ProgrammesIn my opinion when it comes to exercise short term programmes don’t work, people need long term support. This was discussed at a conference for exercise professionals I was at recently, bearing in mind nearly every other trainer in the room had a short term 14/21/28 day transformation programme this was not what everyone wanted to hear.ARTArticleThe Top 5 Yoga Injuries - and how to prevent themYoga has so many benefits for our physical, mental and spiritual health. These benefits are experienced when we listen to our body, our moods and last but not least our intuition. If we do not do this, yoga can also lead to injuries. In western society we are taught to be ambitious and attempting to do more is seen as normal. Sitting and simply relaxingr ARTArticleThere Is No Such Thing as StressThere is no such thing as stress. Got that? Good. Then why are you wasting so much of your time with “stress management” programs, lectures, coaches, books, articles and websites? Could it be because you really don’t believe that there’s no such thing as stress? Oh, I know it’s a cottage industry from psychiatry to business consultants, from prescription medication to over the counter supplements and from one new food to another new exercise. These are great money-makers. But why are you spending so much of your hard earned money on something that doesn’t have to exist?ARTArticleThieves Oil: Ward Off Flus and Colds NaturallyThe story of Thieves Oil takes us all the way back to the Plague in the15th century. There were thieves who preyed upon the dead and dying but somehow never became infected. A famous band of four thieves were finally captured in Marseilles, France and charged with the crime of robbing the plague victims. At the trial, the Magistrate offered to go easy on them if they would divulge how they avoided contracting the horrific infection, in spite of their continual and very close contact with infected corpses.ARTArticleThieves Oil: Ward Off Flus and Colds NaturallyThe story of Thieves Oil takes us all the way back to the Plague in the15th century.

At the trial, the Magistrate offered to go easy on them if they would divulge how they avoided contracting the horrific infection, in spite of their continual and very close contact with infected corpses.ARTArticleThis Is The Real ProblemThere are some days when I will not be following my normal eating plan. For example a day in the school holidays where my son is off school and I book the day off work to take him and the family somewhere for a day out. I will definitely have a coffee or two and will probably have at least one “treat meal”. I could have anything like a pizza or a burger, with a few chips and a coke of course. I tell you this so you know I’m normal, I eat bad food too, so do my clients. The big difference is, it’s usually in context. This type of indulgence has been planned in.ARTArticleThree Keys for ParentsThe three keys I think all parents should know and use in their daily routines are awareness, context and education in that order. These three topics outline three skills that you can practice in order to benefit your child. They spell out the acronym ‘ACE’, making it easy to remember. - Awareness - Context - Education Let’s look at the first one called awareness. There are so many things that remain hidden or below our level of awareness.ARTArticleTo Develop Gratitude Be a Thermostat Not a ThermometerHere’s the wisest elixir of happiness—gratitude. That’s right, gratitude will fill your storehouse of happiness. What’s this have to do with health and fitness? Plenty.ARTArticleTop 5 Regrets People Make On Their DeathbedI was on the internet the other day having a little read, you know what it’s like. You start reading something, click a link to something else and then for the next 30 min you are going link to link reading about various different things! Well during one of these sessions I stumbled across something which I wanted to share with you. I am really interested in longevity and study the topic a lot, it's all to do with living longer. The informatio I found was written by a nurse about the top 5 regrets people make on their deathbed.ARTArticleTreat symptoms (results of disease) or diagnose systems (causes of disease)?One of the biggest joys I have in life is working with a patient who wants to become healthier by co-learning with me about the status of their oral health, and going through a process of diagnosis, prevention and treatment that can be life changing! I have spent countless hours throughout the last 35 years studying far above the norm to become the best dentist I can be. This learning adventure has been joyful, insightful, laborious and satisfying – but I will never be completely satisfied as long as there is more to learn.ARTArticleUnlikeable? You May be Breathing But Aren't LivingLife, to many, seems like it is a series of popularity contests. The only people who don’t like popularity contests are those that either believe they will lose them, or worse, do lose them. They hold their breath each time they walk into a room, get up to speak, raise their hand in class or go to a party. They believe they have finite skills and abilities and are always trying to prove they are ok from the perspective that they aren’t ok. They barely breath, and barely live.ARTArticleUse Your Emotions to Help You HealEmotions tell stories about what is really going on. You’ve just got to be willing to sit with the uncomfortable ones long enough and with enough self-honesty to discover what they are telling you about what you need for your healing. This is going to make a lot more sense if I share a couple of poignant stories from my life. Years ago, I was in loving relationship where my sexual energy started to fully awaken and blossom.ARTArticleUsing the Wellness IQ & EQ for assessment before BiofeedbackI have used this simple questionnaire for our 5000 clients worldwide before their biofeedback assessments. The correlation between the questionnaire results, biofeedback results and CBC blood test results was over 90% suggesting that life-style and stress management correlates with our physical, mental and emotional wellness. Your Wellness IQ Testr Never= 0; Sometimes=5; Always=10 1. Eating habits: Less sodas/sugar/flour/Fats; More veggies, fruits, whole grains. 2. Drinking habits (2 L daily). Pure alkaline water + half a teaspoon of lemon.r ARTArticleVictim Consciousness Are You One of Life’s Victims?Are you finding yourself in any of the following situations? • Not getting recognition for something… • Getting no response at all in seeking to develop a relationship.... • Where you conclude that you are not loved or not loved enough. • Where you don’t consider yourself to be of any real worth. • Or not deserving. • Been wrongly accused of something. • Been the victim of an unprovoked attack (verbal or pysical). • Going through patterns in life, ones that repeat themselves where you end up in pain or trauma.ARTArticleWaist-Watching? Add Soup, Whole Grains and CitrusAs we start the New Year, I've had a ton of questions from my clients focusing on their interest in giving a jumpstart to their healthy lifestyle goals. I've had questions on the Green cleanse, shapely shakes, citrus cleanse, green tea diet, food lovers cleanse, and more. My response to those inquiries is consistent with my mantra-"for better health all things in moderation; there is not one food that is all good or all bad for you."ARTArticleWar BuddiesOne of my clients is haunted by the memory of a former lover. She wonders how she allowed such a "bad" relationship to go on for so long. Of course she did the best she could with the awareness she had at the time. But now she has 20/20 hindsight. We’ve all been in her shoes. We wish we could’ve been more conscious, more able to act on the signs that things were not going well, and avoided the "bad" thing that happened.ARTArticleWell-Being Choices Help Boost EnergyThere is always something somewhere in print, online, radio or television about the most recent diet. You'll see it more often the first of the year and in the Spring as folks focus on getting fit when the layers of clothes come off as the temperature rises. You know my mantra "there is not one food that is all good or all bad for you." I advocate for you to choose a healthy lifestyle which includes eating a variety of foods, plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole-grains, lentils and legumes, stay hydrated, and exercise regularly.ARTArticleWhat Are You Mirroring?Anne Lamott once wrote, "The great good news is that we're not all crazy at the same time." The thing is that my clients often tell me that they and their partners are always crazy at the same time. And this does, in fact, make sense because we all have "mirror neurons" in our brains. Mirror neurons are found all over the brain. They look like other neurons but what makes them special is a web of connections that links these motor and sensory system neurons to the limbic centers that process visceral and emotional reactions. They're responsible for a whole range of phenomena.ARTArticleWhat causes eating disorders and how do they affect health?Abnormal, or disturbed, eating patterns are often accepted as standard behaviour by some adults and, indeed, children. However, they can be the sign of an eating disorder; a psychological condition that affects eating habits and, in time, will negatively impact overall health. This presentation will explore some of the fundamental causes of eating disorders and, more importantly, the negative health conditions they cause, focusing specifically on the deficiencies in micro nutrients that sufferers of disordered eating experience and how these alter health.ARTArticleWhat to Ask If You Meet Your True Love in 2015With all of the resolutions, intentions, goals and wishes you’ve considered for the new year, 2015, if one of them is to finally meet your true love, your “soulmate,” the person of your dreams, then be sure you take some notes on this article. You may just need them if walking down the aisle during the next 12 months is in your plan. In most Western cultures, close to 100% of people marry by age 50. Marriage has been shown to be healthy for your emotional and physical wellbeing. Still, about half of those that do marry, divorce. And that rate goes up for subsequent marriages.r ARTArticleWhat to Ask If You Meet Your True Love in 2015With all of the resolutions, intentions, goals and wishes you’ve considered for the new year, 2015, if one of them is to finally meet your true love, your “soulmate,” the person of your dreams, then be sure you take some notes on this article.

Everyone wants their fav foods, seasoned to their liking and cooked a certain way.ARTArticleWhat's Eating You May Be Why You Are EatingEver notice how many diet books there are? That’s because diets don’t commonly work. Think about it. How many people do you know who have dieted and actually maintained their weight loss? Only 3 percent to 5 percent of dieters who lose weight maintain significant weight loss. And have you noticed the word “die” is in diet? Doesn’t sound too good to me, especially with what DIEting can do to, not for, your health. Dieting can make emotional eating–a common problem–even more difficult to overcome.ARTArticleWhat's the Dish on Ice Cream?One sure sign of summer is ice cream. And in the U.S. folks manage to consume plenty of it -approximately 12 lbs. per capita/person. If you're an enthusiast for the flavored frozen treat you know that indulging in rocky road can create a few lumps and bumps on the bod faster than ice cream melts in hot weather. For those of you who are with me on the "I love ice cream" bus, knowing the scoop on the available choices in the freezer case can help you make wise decisions on what to choose.ARTArticleWhen One Door Closes...Vote after informal vote, I was in the top five. But when the official decision of who was going to move ahead from the Master’s degree program to the doctoral program, I was reminded of my mother’s words, “Michael, when one door closes another opens.”ARTArticleWho's Your BFF?Here’s a wonderful poem on friendship I came across, written by David Leonhardt. Choose friends wisely, the portrait they paintr Is who you are and who you ain't. Friendship is life's great supportr When friends are of the right sort. For all your dreams do they make room, Or bring you down with doom and gloom? You will know a friendship is truer When it brings out the best in you.ARTArticleWhose Store Are You Running?My family owned shoe stores in Newark, N.J., when I was growing up. I worked in their stores from the time I was seven years old. One day, my grandfather brought me outside to teach me an important lesson. He pointed out the competitor down the street and told me to observe what he was doing. The man didn’t seem to be doing anything much, other than standing in front of his store for quite awhile watching the people come into our family’s store and walking out with bags of shoes.ARTArticleWhy It’s Never Too Late To Start ExerciseThe westernized world is pretty unhealthy. I come from Wales and more than a quarter of all over 40’s are obese. We are also an ageing nation, with around 45 per cent of us being over 45 years old. These figures, combined with the continued downward trend in activity levels, makes Wales a ticking time bomb when it comes to health and this is the same with many other countries today. We are getting older and sicker as a nation. As we get older, our bodies begin to change fast. Our muscles and bones become weaker, we get grey hair and wrinkles, and we get stiffer.
