This week we’re back with a more conversation-based episode which we really hope you enjoy. We discuss taking action on what you know, discovering a sense of purpose in your day-to-day, and the power of finding a healthier balance…
As new guidelines are in place in the UK and across the globe encouraging social distancing and self isolation we just wanted to reassure you of our commitment to help in any way we can. We will continue to offer support across our social media channels and via our Fitter Food Radio podcast. We have also made our Fitter 365 Facegroup free and available to join, please jump in and share with anyone that needs daily interaction, motivation and a friendly group to hang out with online.
We've updated this blog following the rapid spread of Corona Virus to help you prioritise nutrients and lifestyle habits that support your body's own natural defence systems. Your immune system works 24/7 so ideally a nutritious diet, sufficient sleep and exercise are present on a regular basis as these are fundamental in providing the resources and energy your immune system requires to fulfil it's daily task list.
Do you know I don’t particularly like the way I look. My body, my face nor my hair. If you asked my honest opinion on any of the above, I’d present a critical assessment of them all. My face is too round, my teeth are too big, my hair is wavy in all the wrong directions and receding, I have bingo wings, so much cellulite and a tummy that triples in size at the first sign of stress, broccoli or beans. Yet I feel so ashamed telling you all this.
Do you CrossFit? On Fitter Food Radio this week we discuss Matt's current supplement stack which Keris put together to support the demands placed on his body with CrossFit. We also look at supporting gut health, aiding quality sleep and fuelling recovery.
We received an email this week from an individual asking if nutritional therapy would be helpful for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). After years of suffering from bloating and constipation, they had finally managed to obtain a diagnosis from their GP and could begin to seek treatment.
In this episode of Fitter Food Radio, we discuss why dietary fat is so important for optimal health, immunity, and performance. We also look at where to get it from to ensure you're ticking all the boxes and meeting your body's needs.
When it comes to health there are many definitions and interpretations but one I think most practitioners agree upon is an individual being free from disease and the symptoms associated with it. The problem today is many people wonder around with a list of increasing ailments or signs of sub optimal health and it simply becomes the norm.
A little wind or the occasional burp every now and then is a natural sign there's some digestive activity going on inside, however, excessive occurrence of these bodily functions may be a sign that's somethings up with your gut.
Working as a Nutritional Therapist I’ve supported many clients who've been diagnosed with cancer or other life changing, health conditions. Their strength and positivity never fails to inspire me, they also discuss emotions and observations that change their outlook and priorities going forward. I wanted to share a few of them with you.
There's a common issue we see time and time again. When people want to lose body fat their primary focus shifts to exercise. It's a not necessarily an effective approach and I'm going to explain why.
It’s January and about to get noisy. Personal trainers will pick up the calorie deficit baton, 'Nutritionalists' lol will fill your feed with salads, smoothies, seeds and all things anti-inflammatory. Yogi’s will do something impressively bendy and help you detox with a chaturanga or two. Sleep coaches will tell you to be in a (dark) bedroom by 8pm because circadian rhythm health rocks. The pouting, selfies and showboating will gather momentum as January kicks into action. What’s crazy is this has become LIFE.
