2020 - What a year so far!!

If this year hasn't challenged you at least once from a mindset perspective then you deserve a place amongst the great stoics of history.

Our practice has been super busy this year with people either suffering from the stress of what COVID-19 keeps throwing at us OR to ensure they are getting the guidance they need to travel through these challenging times in the best manner possible.

As such I thought it would be a great time to interview the team so you get to know who they are and what help is available to you all.

First up is Mindset Coach Gemma Hanley.
For some people it has been challenging to stay grounded given the constant shifting in this narrative, so I thought starting with the mind is a great place for our listeners.

Gem has a great story of evolution in her own health journey and that has lead her to today where she is now guiding people to their own newer, better version of life.

There is some great wisdom within so we hope you enjoy it.

Stay Indoors And Don't Come Out!!

That has been the life for most of us as we navigate our way through the coronavirus lockdown. Whilst it may have seemed necessary to do so to avoid a possible exposure to the virus these measures haven't come without other health consequences. Rightly so the news has shone a light on matters like domestic violence and mental health concerns, however the realm of fitness and body function unfortunately has been largely pushed aside.

As a hands on large musculoskeletal focussed practitioner I have big concerns around the physical health of our population post coronavirus so I decided it would be a good idea to share some other tools available for people to stay healthy and well.

There are literally 1000's of online fitness programs available but for many this realm is too unfamiliar to navigate and potentially overwhelming when it comes to decision making. However this time presents us with a unique opportunity to become more adaptable, more capable of undertaking physical activity whist at home. This is a skill that will be very helpful as we return to our pre coronavirus lives, where for a lot of people time constraints and lack of convenience often cruel the best fitness intentions. If we can all learn to self motivate and self direct our fitness activities through engaging in an online resource we will be better placed to maintain our physical health for the long term.

In order to learn more about the mechanics of how this works I sat down with a real mover and shaker in this space - Adrian Lea from Leaway Fitness. Adrian runs an online fitness and nutrition coaching business that is growing every week. I have known Adrian since this journey began and it has been fascinating watching it all unfold. He is passionate, energetic and super committed and gives us a real insight into how this type of fitness programming and guidance is creating healthier and happier people all over the globe.

Life's Good - What a mantra to live by!

Well today's guest Lynn Gilmartin or 'LG' has literally done this for years. What started as a bit of fun has now become embedded in her psyche and she is living it out in an exceptional manner.

Lynn is based in L.A. and is living out her dream of pursuing an acting career whilst also performing her role as the anchor for the World Poker Tour. The story of her journey has embedded within some great lessons on taking a leap of faith and creating the life of your dreams. 

When I think about the people that I know who are managing to oscillate close to a 'balance point' in life, Lynn always comes to mind. She is a super conscious being who constantly reflects on the impacts of her choices on her life, the life of others and the world at large.

Whether it is choosing food from the best source possible, clothes from recycled ocean plastic or sponsoring a child in the Phillipines, Lynn is always looking to leave a positive imprint on the planet. What is amazing is that she accomplishes this whilst still living a full life with lots of play and exploring, great relationships and a big smile on her face.

It was a fun interview where I learnt things about a good friend of mine that I never knew and have taken away some gold that I have been able to implement straight away in my life.

Look out for a special 'add on' at the end when we decided to flick the record button again when our post interview chat went into some other cool places!

Peace of mind - wouldn't the world love a little bit of that right now!

Today we sit down with Tom Ahern from The Mind Mate Podcast to discuss his journey into counselling and some of the work that he is doing.

Tom is as committed to learning his craft as anybody that I have ever met. He is well read, well researched, deeply considered and extremely passionate about helping people navigate the arena of the human mind.

We are experience an extraordinary time in history at the moment and many people are challenged on the mental health front from lots of different angles. Hopefully this podcast might provide a nugget or too that helps you through this journey.

In the podcast Tom discusses his 3 books with the first one already completed which is titled "Yes I’m Fine, Just Tired”. You can find it in audio and paperback online.

You can follow Tom via the following links below. He shares great content, the kind of stuff that makes your feed valuable!

The world is currently facing TWO significant health challenges: 
- coronavirus
- and then the stress that is accompanying the dramatic shifting in our daily lives.

In this podcast I sit down with naturopath Fiona Chin (The Wellness Guru) and psychologist Naeidra Derry to discuss both of these concurrent health challenges.

Fiona has an auto immune disease and has literally spent years learning about immune function and as such has been able to do a deep dive into all of the scientific information about the virus. Why is it so contagious? What happens in our bodies when we get it? What can be done to combat it? etc

Importantly Fiona gives some great information around what we can do to best position our bodies for if/when we get exposed to the virus so we can either prevent infection or curtail its short and possible long term effects.

Naeidra then goes into some important areas of mental health self care which will help us stay resilient whilst navigating the stress over the coming months.

Please note due to social distancing measures we were sitting quite apart from each other so you may need to bump up your audio a little to hear us!

As always send through any questions that you may have!

Enjoy.

Well February is here and it is time to dust off the old 'cleansing cape' and go about trying to clear out those toxic lifestyle habits for a solid 4 week block.... 

If you haven't heard February is a THE month for fasting (although for most people in practice it is just abstinence for one or two things instead of fasting), where people go about trying to reduce their intake of one or many foods.

Given the time of year we thought it was perfect to sit down and have a conversation about all things fasting!

In recent times fasting, in particular intermittent fasting has become increasingly popular and in practice we have seen people attempting it with various results. So today we sat down to discuss all things fasting from what happens in your body, to different ways to do it and also the fact that humans have been doing it for millennia.

To supplement this information we are also hosting a Facebook live session on the MY Chiropractic page on Monday the 17th of February 2020 at 5.45pm. Jump on board to ask any specific questions that you may have to help you on your fasting journey!

February is definitely the month of food for thought, hopefully this episode is a nice addition to your menu :-)
