You've had the all clear from the doc, your blood results were normal and you're not burning yourself out at the gym or work.

Sound familiar? Well if you haven't already looked into your daily nutrition then now may be the time.

Nutrient deficiencies play a huge role in our overall health and can be the main cause for many health symptoms.

Simply adding in some key ingredients to your diet can alleviate your symptoms. Listen to learn more about how you can make these simple changes and improve your quality of life.

We hear about calories all the time but there is very little talk about what a calorie actually is and the role they have to play on our health.

Calories seem to have developed a negative relationship within the health industry. We are taught to be 'calorie conscious' and over time this can evolve into believing that 'calories are bad'. This is simply not the case.

Calories are amazing because they ensure we SURVIVE. 

In this episode, I break down calories and explain why they are ESSENTIAL, how to categorise calories and how you can utilise them for optimal health and to achieve your health goals.

We talk about how great exercise can be to change our body shape but there is so much more to it.

Exercise is essential for optimal health because it supports our mobility, the way our body functions and our brain health.

Looking good is a great goal to have, but does it lose value when you can no longer crawl around with your 1 year old baby, or when you struggle to carry the weekly groceries, or when you are unable to focus and organise yourself to get a job done?

Luckily these benefits come hand in hand with exercise. There is a large focus on the way our bodies look, however the way our bodies function will, in the long run, serve you a higher purpose. Whether that is your focus right now is entirely up to you but having a listen to this podcast may open your eyes to seeing exercise and fitness in a different light. This in itself can be another motivator to get you moving and to continue striving for a healthier and more active lifestyle.

Motivation can be a hard thing to come by, especially when we feel like everything is just too much. There are ways in which we can manipulate motivation by looking into the different types. These being intrinsic (internal) and extrinsic (external).

Simply put, internal motivation is that in which comes from the pure enjoyment of doing something, for example a walk in the sunshine. External motivation comes from outside sources, for example progress check-ins.

When thinking about your health, understanding which of these suits your individual personality can help determine the success of your goals. 

For example, if you know that you need external sources to get you motivated, then you may hire a coach who will hold you accountable with weekly check-ins.

Likewise if you find that you work best when it comes internally, then you may try a variety of exercises until you find one that doesn't 'feel like a chore'.

Join me as I explain further and hopefully I help you to discover your true motivators.

So here we are at the end of February, which also means the last episode of the Self Love series. With that being said, I hope this past month has been a reminder of how important it is to look after ourselves, both physically and mentally.

Many of us have experienced the dreaded 'gremlins' in our head that say nasty things like "you cannot do it" or "you are not good enough" or "you will fail" Most commonly, these gremlins say these due to past experiences. Somewhere along the way, an event has happened that has led to this belief about yourself. Where it may 'feel real', this type of thought usually doesn't hold true or have any solid facts to back it up. For most of these thoughts, we could probably class them as 'fake news'.

This is where using affirmations come in. By affirming the facts, you may be able to silence the gremlins. You work with what you know and not what you believe. These are very different!

In this episode we look into the use of affirmations for self development and how they can be implemented on a daily basis, to help you grow with confidence and reveal your potential.

How did we get to week 3 of February already?

Thankfully we will have some news of "getting back to normal" soon enough. This past year has certainly had a knock on effect on people's wellbeing and mental state as charities report an increase in calls from those seeking support.

This is devastating news and my heart goes out to anyone who is struggling right now. The most important thing we can do for ourselves is to put our wellbeing first and prevent getting into such a place. The sooner we realise the importance of our mental health, the better!

The advice on today's show isn’t just for those who are facing a hard time right now, but also for those who may know of someone who is; and can perhaps provide some advice. It's also great to raise awareness of mental health and talk about realistic actions that we can start implementing today to improve our own mental state.

Check the links below for further support and guidance around mental health.

It's the month of LOVE!!

We continue with the self love series. If you haven't already, check out the other episodes in this series.

Today we talk about nourishment. As fitness queens, it is easy to get caught up in the aesthetic goals as we watch our bodies change and transform. A healthy body and soul is one that begins from the inside. As the saying goes, 'You are what you eat'.

Fitness goals setting often focuses on the amount of consumed macros, these being carbohydrates, fats and proteins. However, micro nutrients play a vital role in your overall health and wellbeing and contribute largely to your fitness and health goals.

Discover the importance of nourishment and how you can look to put more focus on your inner health.

Please note: The information in this podcast does not replace medical advice. If you believe you may have a deficiency or would like to learn more about supplements, please seek advice from your doctor or Nutritionist.

It's the month of LOVE!

My favourite month because it is also my birth month.

Do you ever take time for yourself? When was the last time you gave yourself some TLC and worked on YOU!

Self love is all about respecting and appreciating yourself. This can often be pushed to one side and our focus can be put on others around us. This is OK but it is important also that you take time to appreciate yourself. After all, we need to learn to love ourselves before we can truly accept someone else loving us.

If you suffer with low confidence and self esteem then self love may be an area you find challenging. That is why I have dedicated this whole month to a series of episodes that will provide some advice and ways in which you can start working on loving yourself.

This episode is the first of four episodes in the Self Love series. To kick off, we discuss how exercise plays an important role in self care and how to utilise it in the best way.

Can you think of a situation where you felt so uncomfortable that all you could think about was how to get out of it? That's the moment when you are faced with a big decision - to 'Fight or Flight'? Both of these are natural human instincts when faced with such situations and unfortunately some of us choose Flight nearly every time!

I have struggled with confidence for most of my life. As an 'expert blusher' my path in life has been very much determined by my self confidence. There have been moments where my heart wanted to take a certain route in life, but my confidence said No! I believe it has held me back for most of my young adult years. It is safe to say that with a little work I have been able to recognise the damaging effect that this has, and could continue to, cause if I did not take action. With small daily steps you CAN and WILL overcome low self confidence and start to build the life you've always wanted. It is possible for anyone and everyone, including YOU!

Is it just me or is there an abundance of material and advice out there for losing weight but not a whole lot for gaining?

As someone who has struggled with a poor relationship with food in the past, gaining weight hasn't always been the easiest ride. However, as my current goal is to bulk up AKA gain more muscle, a requirement for me to achieve this is to be in a calorie surplus and gain some weight.

There are right ways and wrong ways of doing this as I explain in this podcast but the most important thing is learning HOW to be ok with gaining a few pounds and not losing your shit over it.
