It seems like an easy way to lose weight: just take a drug! No discipline needed to eat well, or even exercise. What’s not to love? Side effects! Or, as they call them these days: contraindications. Why that long word? Because most people don’t know what it means! If they did, they’d take far fewer…

If people are saying that all of these different diets are great, how can they all be right? How can we figure that out? I used to be very confused about it. But no longer. It’s helpful to look at what humans evolved to eat over countless millennia through our evolutionary journey. We started out…

What do you think that might be? Not exercising? Eating badly? Working too hard? Those are all mistakes to avoid, but there’s an even bigger one: Believing you have no power to change your life. This is the root of all problems. When we believe this, we give up, and don’t do anything to improve…

It sounds like a cliche from TV or film, and it’s been used more than once on those screens. We could argue about the value of resistance during war, but what does it mean in everyday life? Does it have any value at all in helping us create the life of our dreams? In my…

I did a talk for the Public Health Alliance yesterday at the beach. It was good fun, and the audience were open and interested. Here’s a summary:

Have you ever thought about balance? Maybe not. Most of us don’t, unless we see a tight rope walker or similar. Of course, we don’t need to be able to do that, as impressive as it looks. We don’t need to be anywhere near as good as that when it comes to balance. But we…

What?! Bouncing up and down on a mini trampoline, also called a rebounder. That sounds ridiculous. Yes, it does! And I’m not recommending it just because I live in Australia. It really IS a very simple fun way to get healthy. It’s such a powerful exercise that NASA looked into it for their astronauts, who…

You might want to give that up. As you know, it’s ultra violent, and scares the whatever out of people. That’s not good to experience, time after time. It’s designed to numb you to violence, so when you see it, you learn to accept it. This allows governments to get away with going to war,…

Many of us find it challenging to deal with all the busyness of the holiday period, and although it can be very enjoyable, it can also be stressful, and it’s easy to eat and drink too much as well. That leads to new year’s resolutions which don’t often succeed! Stress, excess weight, and hangovers are…
