I have worked with many people with chronic health issues that have had a huge impact on their life in a negative way.  Their illness, disease, lack of function has meant that they have had to miss out on their life in some way or meant they could not participate in life in the way that they wanted to.  From being in chronic pain and unable to sit at a desk to work, to having chronic fatigue and b...

We’re going a bit off the topic of myths this week, because so many of you have been asking me, in terms of fitness, health and recovery, what is the long way home?  What does that really mean?  And I get that, because a goal needs to be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely otherwise it's just this obscure, arbitrary, vast unattainable thing way out in some time i...

Today we are talking all about supplements.  The good the bad and the ugly.  I will often see clients who have seen many people before me and some will come with a container of supplements that they have been prescribed or they have looked up on the internet and are taking for this and the other.  So, are they really doing anything?  Is it as simple as just looking at your bloo...

Skincare has to be one of the biggest industries, turning over multi millions, billions, trillions of dollars per year.  I would also say that it is one of the industries that is full of the most BS and preys on the vulnerabilities of both women and men and often I find clients are doing more harm than good with their skincare regimen.  Be it an aging issue, or a condition like eczema, r...

So once upon a time, Type 1 diabetes was known as something you were  born with or developed as an infant or young child and Type 2 diabetes was known as being the one you developed from being overweight and living the high fat, high sugar, processed food and sedentary lifestyle.  But I am seeing more and more that these are not the norms anymore.  I have clients who don’t eat...

At the World Congress of Back Pain, it was said that nine in 10 people will have back pain at some point in their life.  Of course that will occur in varying degrees.  What I have seen a lot in my work, working with injuries as a CHEK practitioner, is that many people who have back injuries are given such a glass ceiling with their diagnosis and treatment options.  So if nine in 10...

I think the biggest myth in Personal Training or the exercise field is if I just turn up and sweat and do something that is exhausting, I will get the result of getting fitter, leaner, stronger, whatever it is that you desire.  Another one would be that if I just get my heart rate up I am going to be healthier and that people who do so are fit.   I am finding all too often now, when...

I feel like we have spent a lot of time on the show, talking about women’s physiology and general physiology and how the body never lies about health, but I wanted to dedicate and episode for men specifically.   Can men really tolerate stress more than women - physiological speaking? Is fasting more suitable for them? Why do men get man boobs?  Why can’t some men put on...

So what if you exercise and you have a negative side effect to exercise?  You might experience fatigue post workout, odema, trouble sleeping, night sweats or even DOMS for days.  Or you might just not be able to put on muscle or lose weight no matter how much you exercise. Well, this is something I have seen in my work for 19 years but has been recently been coined “exercise intole...

Liver health is a big focus in the holistic health world.  Yet, I am seeing more and more that "healthy people" who eat "whole foods" are suffering from issues such as Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Diabetes, Thyroid Issues etc. I am also seeing that a lot of people are doing liver detoxes to boost their immunity for the current health issue of our time and that these programs involve cut...
