I’ve realised lately that I’ve suffered a lot over the last few years from something I call “social guilt” Quite simply a sense of guilt when I take time out to see friends. It’s meant I have rarely allowed…

If I had a quid for every time I heard this ... “I gained xx amount of weight because I couldn’t train after getting injured” I would have quite a lot of quids lol! The reality is injuries do happen but you need to be able to deal with them in the best way possible, minimise weight gain and focus on supporting your recovery.
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.
Keris and Matt discuss why it’s increasingly hard to switch off and enjoy just doing nothing. They discuss the factors that contribute to excessive stimulation of the mind and strategies they’ve tried including CBD oil, adaptogenic herbs, candles, and digital detoxes.

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.

This week Keris and Matt reflect on lessons learned in the last 12 months and their goals for a healthy 2020 including stronger boundaries, conversations that matter, passion projects, and more in-person experiences.
