REAL LOVE Part 6: You Will Be Tested

We are tested in life not just in love

I once picked up a book about love. Though I didn’t really agree with some of the content, language used, or tone presented, I did get through about two chapters. Maybe if I stuck with it, it would have gotten better. For that, I owe the book an apology: I’ll pick you up, again, one day and give you another shot. We all deserve another chance. And often times, our minds play tricks on us.

Cognitive Fusion & Decognitive Fusion: The Start to Breaking Unhealthy Eating Disorder Habits

Race Tactics – Get Your Race Brain On Before Race Day

A lot of cyclists I meet often say on the start line of races, ‘I hope this goes okay…’ followed by a nervous smile. But, racing doesn’t have to be a nerve-racking experience. Not if you prepare yourself.

REAL LOVE Part 5: The Danger in Omissions

Ask yourself: Why do we censor what we tell people? Why do we take things personal? Why are we self-conscious?

HEALTH & NUTRITIONAL MEDICINE EXPERT FIONA TUCK EXPOSES COOKING OIL MYTHS

Anyone who has been shopping lately knows how hard it is to find the right cooking oil. Many of us, including Fiona Tuck, nutritional medicine practitioner, stand in front of the shelves just gazing at the endless choices – canola, olive, avocado, and rice bran – the list just goes on-and-on. Then, we recall the latest research and other published findings, further complicating the issue further – don’t go for animal fats vegetable is better, hang on, it may be better to switch back. Duh-oh! So, which oil is the best for our health?

Prevention of Eating Disorders

The development of an eating disorder can be prevented! However, no one should feel guilt or blame if these illnesses do develop as they are so complex. I have 3 siblings, all raised in the same household and went to the same school. They did not develop an eating disorder as I did. Individual personalities, circumstances and the way each person deals with emotions and difficulties need consideration.

How to Reduce Bike Weight for Lighter Rides

Ever worried that you are carting around a couple of extra kg’s on your bike that could be slowing you down?

REAL LOVE Part 4: True Love Begins at Home

Relationships are the PERFECT opportunity to take a long, hard look in the mirror and examine all of our inner workings. If we pay attention to the signs we receive, how our body is responding, the intuition we feel and the lessons presenting themselves to us, we can learn a great deal about ourselves through our relationships.

Eating Disorders: Implications for the Fitness Industry

I had the honour of presenting a 90min lecture at Filex 2017 on “Identifying and Managing Eating Disorders in the Fitness Industry”. One of the participants at the end of the session asked why every trainer was not in the session. Her daughter had signed up for a 12-week body transformation challenge, and was told that dairy and carbs were evil. She was instructed to do an extra hour of cardio on the treadmill because she had eaten these. Her daughter is in a clinic suffering Anorexia Nervosa.
