Regular exercise has been shown time and time again shown in research to be a protective factor against many chronic health conditions. Not only is regular exercise great for our long-term health, but being active helps us feel good in the short term. 

Despite this, plenty of people do not get sufficient physical activity - as a population, we aren't moving enough. 

For some people, regular exercise is a part of daily life. For others, it is a bit of a struggle to get into the habit of working out regularly. Which of the two are you?

In this episode, I offer some ideas and strategies to help get you moving your body consistently, why exercise is so important for short and long-term health and my experience with staying active throughout my life despite significant changes in lifestyle.

Changing habits of any kind is hard. 

Unhealthy eating habits are especially challenging due to the food environment in which we live, the overload of information and misinformation about nutrition and a number of other individual and social factors. 

In this episode, I am sharing the context around making positive changes to eating habits, some common mistakes people make when pursuing healthier eating patterns and what to actually do and focus on so you can set yourself up for success. 

A healthy eating pattern is incredibly beneficial in helping you feel good now and protecting your health in the long term. 

Making a change in this area is often unsexy and does take time. Although it can be simple, it is rarely easy. But you can do this if you get the right pieces of the puzzle and stick with it!

It is certainly that time of year where most of us are reflecting on the year that was and thinking ahead the new year, what we would like to achieve who we would like to become.

Setting goals, intentions and resolutions for the New Year can all be amazing ways to create a life and lifestyle we desire. But if you want to create more sustainable change in your life, in 2023 and beyond, these strategies and ideas will help you do exactly that. 

You can do them all as a step by step process if you like that kind of structure, or you could pick and choose, one, two or more and put them into practice in a way that suits you.

As the end of 2022 rolls around, I’ve decided to share some of my reflections of the year that was, and how things unfolded for me.

I really enjoy listening to this style of episode from other podcasters, and thought this year I would do the same for my business and life.

It’s been a year that has not unfolded the way I planned 12 months ago! But I’ve embraced the uncertainty, change and disappointments and am using it all as information and experience to move forward and grow. This is life; the good the bad and the in between. I’m grateful for it all!

I hope you enjoy my reflections on my business, wellbeing and life, and hope you have the chance to do the same for yourself.

Your environments have a profound impact on your health and wellbeing in general, and on the things, you do to create a healthy lifestyle (or not). 

Being aware of your environments and tweaking things a little can set you up for success with healthy lifestyle habits, and support your wellbeing goals.

In this episode, I will explain what your environments for wellbeing are, and how you can use this to help you create a healthy lifestyle, and create a well and thriving life that you desire. 

We will start with a bit of theory to explain the model, and then get into the practicalities of applying this in your life. I will also give you a useful exercise to do so you use this model in your own life, to make healthy changes.

In this episode, I chat through how a ‘snowball’ approach is the best way to make positive changes in your lifestyle, change your habits around food and exercise, and reach your health and wellbeing goals.

The snowball approach - as opposed to making an overhaul - will allow you to transition to new habits and a healthier lifestyle in a sustainable way. It allows your mind to adjust and your identity to shift and align with the person you are seeking to become. 

Instead of a crash and burn (commonly seen in the overhaul approach), the snowball approach is more sustainable.

Have you ever been frustrated about your lack of progress towards a goal?

Have you struggled to be consistent with a health behaviour you have wanted to change?

Do you ever wonder why you can't seem to reach your desired outcomes?

I don't mean to call anyone out in this episode but maybe, just maybe you are not doing the work 🤔

What does that mean and how can you actually 'do the work'? 

This episode was inspired by a convo I had with my osteo and I thought it would be great to share with you - enjoy!
