So I have a tattoo.

I wish I could tell you that I spent hours contemplating this permanent print on my body but the truth is I googled some tattoo designs and just got it done 😮

Why?

I’ve been reflecting on something this week and I wanted to share it with you.

The traditional saying always encouraged us to grab an apple a day and more recently a digestive health expert suggested the humble onion maybe more benefitting, especially in terms of our supporting gut bacteria and immune system, however, the avocado is the shining star of some recent health research.

Throughout life you come across (and end up hanging out with) all kinds of people. Despite the diversity they often fall into two very important categories in terms of how you’re left feeling after your time together.  We refer to them as “radiators” or “drains.”  Taking a moment to decipher who you spend most of your time with can make a big difference to your own health.

A client recently said to me…. “Keris I feel like you’re superhuman with all your nutrition lecturing, yoga and running. I’m so far away from where I’d like to be, it’s frustrating and at times feels pointless!”

I hear ya 🤔

Someone asked me recently where I get my motivation to exercise and eat healthy consistently 🤔 Perhaps I’m lucky in that I realised years ago I have two versions of myself…

I’m no Warren Buffett but I do have a very small investment portfolio (ok it’s tiny but it’s a start) and I enjoy reading books and articles etc to help me grow that portfolio and get a good return on my investment. Well that’s certainly the plan at least.

Weight gain, hot flushes, water retention, bloating, mood crashes, poor memory, brain fog, breast pain, acne… the list goes on and it’s a familiar list to most women. Have you ever suffered with any of these symptoms?

I haven’t lost the plot but you can be forgiven for thinking so with a title like that! So you might be wondering what do these three things have in common. The answer is quite simply that they all made me feel like I wasn’t good enough, almost stopped me in my tracks and held me back from doing something I felt passionate about.

Hang on. Buying a house? Fat loss? I know what you’re thinking, what do they have in common? Don’t worry it will all make sense soon, in fact I’m actually quite chuffed with myself about this one!
