The Healthification Podcast

I think todays subject: Don’t Buy A Dog And Bark Yourself… is on my mind because currently I’m super happy to hand over barking duties to the professionals I’ve just hired to help me with some videos. Video, as you’ll know if you’ve listened to Healthification for any period of time is not something I find easy…. yet. Now talking I can do, ... READ MORE

Todays show was inspired by a quote from Dave Kekich… it’s a perspective that reveals the power in dissatisfaction. As much as comfort and satisfaction might be appealing in reality they each lead to: Complacency. I’m rolling with the acronym format for todays show… lets call it: 11 signs of Complacency and what to do instead. First though here’s that quote: “The foundation of achievement is intense desire. The world’s highest achievers ... READ MORE

I believe it’s important to have a high degree of confidence in ourselves. However how do we weigh that up against a debilitating little habit of overestimating our ability to make the best decision? => We constantly throw ourselves unprepared into tempting situations and trust that we’ll make the best decision. => We allow ourselves to get into un-resourceful states and trust that again, we’ll make ...

You’ve Got This.  I’ve told myself that many times this morning. And it’s only 6.19am! It’s my simple message to YOU today too. Sometimes, for whatever reason the self-talk that muscles its way into your mind is so negative it can make you feel like giving up. It’s natural, normal and human to have that self-talk however it’s also your responsibility to ... READ MORE

There’s been a common theme in my conversations with clients recently. Whether it’s in relation to the carefully planned day of household tasks that flew out the window… the goals that aren’t being moved towards or even the fact that usually they (and I!) never feel good after investing a chunk of time scrolling through some social media feed. It’s possibly The most underated yet ... READ MORE

Todays show was inspired by a chat I had with a member of our gym recently. This gent is frustrated at the lack of results he’s seeing for the hard work he puts into his exercise. He trains 2-4 times a week and he works hard within the session… and then for a variety of reasons: work, travel, family… his best laid ... READ MORE

In todays show I’m weighing in on: Are The People Around You Holding You Back? It’s actually sort of a trick question though… we’ll get to that soon. First, you know the cliche. Boy meets girl. Or girl meets boy. Spending time together become The priority… lots of nights in and hearty home cooked meals accompanied by a fair few nights out ... READ MORE

Have you ever felt like your current reality is just one setback after the next? Just when you think “It couldn’t possibly get any worse” – it’s as if the universe interprets that as a challenge and it dishes up… a whole lot worse! I know it’s not the most motivating start to the Monday show, and thankfully I’m not speaking from current personal experience ... READ MORE

Although I’ve been very consistent with my exercise and nutrition over the past – oh, 17 years! – it’s only in the past few years that I’ve enjoyed results that I believe truly reflect the effort I put in. Can you relate? The results you’re seeing just don’t seem to fairly reflect the sweat and focus you’re giving? In today’s ... READ MORE

Recently I saw an e-card with the quote “I’m frantically rushing home to relax.” I thought WOW that’s so me! I bet I’m not unique in this regard. In today’s show I’m weighing-in on: Chasing Calm. It’s sort of an oxymoron right?? However I chose it with volition because too often that’s exactly how it feels.  Perhaps because calm is not one of my natural strengths I really admire ... READ MORE
