Even if life is hard right now. What are some of the things that you can be grateful for? You may be surprised with just how much you do have.

Setting intentions allow you to be conscious and present. Helping you be an active participant in creating the life that you want to live. 

You can't leave life to chance. Being intentional prevents you from bumbling along day after day. It gives gives you purpose and direction, moving you towards whatever you current goal is. 

Setting an intention effects your thoughts. Your thoughts effect your biology. Depending on what your dominant thoughts and self-talk are, will reflect in your reality. 

People have been told they don't have long left to live because a scan showed a certain pathology. Not long after, the person passed away. The autopsy then revealed there was no pathology present and the scan wasn't accurate. So did that that person think themselves to death?

My point here is, do not underestimate the power of your thoughts. That's why being intentional in what you think and do is so important.

The way we talk to ourselves effects our thoughts and it is our thoughts that create our reality. In this episode I go over how you can break the cycle of negative self-talk. Something we need to be aware of to help improve the health of our minds. 

It is the accumulation of our choices that either take us towards or away from health. We have way more control over our health than we are lead to believe. 

We need to start focusing on healing our health problems. Rather than trying to fix everything. Healing happens when we are in the right environment, both internally and externally. You need to view healing as a process that happens from the inside out, not from the outside in. 

In this episode I briefly go over the pillars of health you need to be aware of. Explaining how not to overwhelm yourself when thinking about change and reminding you that small changes and choices done consistently, will make a massive difference to your life.

It is important to remember that disease usually take time to develop. This is as a result of the choices you have made over the past months, years and decades. 

This is great news. If we become conscious about the choices we make moving forward, we can create an environment better suited to express health and heal.

We have all heard that chronic stress and chronic inflammation aren't good for our health. In this episode I go over them both and explain the effect that both have on our bodies. Why it is so important to manage them and what happens in the body when we don't.  Learning to manage and control stress and inflammation is key when aiming to express better health. Whether this is simply in helping to prevent sickness and disease, or recovering from any health issue you might be struggling with at the moment. 

Keeping your brain functioning at its best is key to being able to express health. The brain and the spinal cord make up your central nervous system. This is the system that controls EVERYTHING that your body does. In this episode I go into 3 tips to help optimise brain health, as well as one bonus tip. If you grasp the concept of this it will change your life for the better. When it comes to all areas of health it is impossible to separate them. Even though these tips will help brain health, they will of course have a positive impact on the rest of your health. 

One of my patients asked me this week, "What can I do straight away to help with the healing process?" In this episode I go over the 3 suggestions that I gave to them and why. We all know that we should drink more water. That said, so many of us are chronically dehydrated. This effects how our nervous system works and can trigger the stress response (sympathetic nervous system). To heal efficiently you need to have a balanced nervous system.

Poor posture doesn't only cause aches and pains.  It can inadequate breathing and digestion too.  In fact, your posture has a global effect on every single thing that you do. This is because your posture, your spine and your nervous system are all closely linked. Have a listen to find out how poor posture can trigger your stress response and why simply being told to sit up straight is sometimes impossible.  Especially when that is the only intervention being used to improve your posture. 

Do you ever doubt yourself or feel like a fraud? That any moment you are going to be found out that you don't belong in the space you are in? You aren't alone. This something that is experienced by most, if not everyone. In this episode I talk about my experience with imposter syndrome and some insight into how to deal with it.  

This episode introduces you to the stressors of trauma, toxins and thoughts. Known as the 3T’s in the Chiropractic world.  An individuals stress level, their capacity to process and deal with additional stress, all play a big role in their ability to heal efficiently. I touch upon how environment effects our health and that developing sickness and disease isn’t necessarily due to our genes. 

Change and uncertainty are both part of life. It is inevitable that at some point we all experience it. That doesn't mean it's easy. It does mean that you need to get used to the idea. In this episode I go over what you can do to help feel more comfortable when navigating change. Allowing you to change your perspective and getting the most out of the situation you are in.
