The Body Never Lies

Fertility and pregnancy, birthing and mothering are high energy demanding processes.  I think we really take for granted just how much our body needs to make and recover from having babies.   There are so many myths around this area of a woman’s life and I think a lot of them leave women fraught with emotions, guilt, shame, disempowerments and to be honest, long term health is...

There was something that I put off for years and years.  My body was telling me it was out of balance, but I ignored it until I got really motivated about it.  I had a super tight pelvic floor.  It needed manual therapy to release it and retraining on my part to get it functional again and it wasn’t until I wanted to have a baby without any intervention, to protect my precious...

Getting diagnosed with PCOS and/or Endometriosis can feel like a life sentence for some.  I’ve seen two kinds of camps.  One where women have been having issues with their cycle or periods and getting diagnosed and feeling like it was a really deflating, non solution answer and others who really struggle with the debilitating symptoms of either condition with repetitive surgery and...

So we have touched on sustainable weight loss with Kitty and Craig last episode, but now I want to get into the nitty gritty of body composition.  So, say you are training consistently and you’re at a relatively acceptable weight, but you have a certain look you want to achieve.  You want that toned and defined look and in your head it equates to eating less and training more.&nbsp...

What happens when you go to the doctor and your bloods all look normal, but you are still feeling suboptimal?  I have clients who feel chronically ill, fatigued and hormonal, yet at a glance, they can appear normal on standard blood tests.  So what then? Well, this is one of the reasons I started The Body Never Lies because there just are too many people coming to me with this story and...

It is so confusing as a consumer, to know which nutrition protocol is right for you.  The market is oversaturated with different diets and protocols and with the rise of social media, it is saturated with all types of practitioners and influences.  How do you know what to do? Well, I think as a consumer, you have to get smarter and filter out the BS.  I have had clients come to me t...
