25 March 2011 - Goals and Change and Biocybernetics


Hello! 


Hope you are having a fabulous week!


This will be the second last Total Vitality for a couple of weeks as I have become super busy with work and planning a wedding, that I've had to scale some things back a bit, so i'll be taking a few weeks off and then see how I can manage the workload :)


This week I checked out those little green trees I love so much - that's right - BROCCOLI!!
Full of super goodness and you can find the fact sheet right here:

Also we spoke to Fiona Cosgrove and Dr Bill Davison and you will find their contact details and the audio of our interviews below.


Have a wonderfully safe and healthy week!
Many best wishes!

Today we speak to Fiona about the next stage of creating long term change in your health and wellness. It is always important to start with a vision and create strong goals around what you'd like to achieve, but what happens when obstacles come up? How do you get around them and push through to achieving those ideals you long for?

Last time I spoke to Dr Bill we discussed an interesting topic - that of Biocybernetics! I'd never heard the term before and didn't quite know what it meant. But after chatting for a while it became clear that all the influences of our lives have created beliefs, patterns and habits in our minds. Some of them obviously are very beneficial and help us to live our day-to-day lives. 
But some of them it seems hold us back. They stop us from losing weight, they make us continue smoking, they cause us to fear certain things and maybe even contribute to a low self-esteem or self-worth. These patterns are obviously not helping us and so why not find a way to turn them around so that you can get more out of life, do more, be more, achieve more! Well lucky enough Dr Bill knows all about Biocybernetics and practices it in his clinic, which is why I decided to see him for a consultation. The technique is very powerful and works nicely with other work i've done with NLP, hypnosis, affirmations etc. Except this seems to be an easy, painless way for everybody to help themselves in whatever area they feel needs help. Whether that be weight loss, self belief, phobias, habits, careers or relationships.
Dr Bill is holding a number of FREE seminars in Sydney over April - for more information contact Dr Bill on the above contact details.
Also here is a free report

Wellness Coaching - Coach yourself to wellness, Quinoa, Health and Fitness Expos - 28 February 2011

Hello!


Hope you're all in for another super healthy, fit and energetic week!


This week starts a new month! Always an exciting time as you can reset your goals and plan again to achieve all you wanted!


My new goal for this month is to lose those last 3kg for once and for all and to tone up and get some muscle definition! I'm desperate to have Michelle Bridges arms - so toned even when not flexed!


I have a wedding to train for in a year - so now is the time to flick the switch in the body and the brain and get focussed!
Also it's time to train my mum while she is staying with me. She's not as excited by it as i am and i know it is more her mind that is holding her back, so that is something we need to work on over the next few weeks!


Listen out for next week's Total Vitality show as I have a chat to Dr Bill Davison about a great technique that is perfect for breaking through mind issues and limiting beliefs!


And in 3 weeks i also start my NLP certification which i'm so so so excited about!


But on to this week!
:)
A great SNACK BITE for today and an awesome interview with wellness coach Fiona Cosgrove.


Feel free to leave comments below and let me know what you want to learn in the upcoming weeks!


Stay healthy and happy!

SOY PRODUCTS NO GOOD FOR YOU

Check out this article for the facts on Soy foods and why they are not the healthy alternative the media and the industries say it is!
:) Like so many other supposedly healthy foods!
SOY WARNING





NUT MILK RECIPE

NUT MILK RECIPE

Thanks to Joy from FRUVENU for this great recipe. Feel free to email me at jewlzz.a@gmail.com if you'd like help or have any questions, otherwise feel free to check out Joy's website and ask her any health questions you have!  
www.fruvenu.com.au
Joy does some wonderful in-home food workshop that you'll love and learn a lot from!!

You can also use any sort of nuts you like. I love Hazelnut milk, but of course almonds, brazils etc also make great flavours!
(PS. Sometimes I brew some caffeine free chai herbs from T2 to my water before i mix it in with the nuts so i have a chai latte all ready whenever i want it! Yummy hot or cold!)

Joy's Tasty Raw Tips    
Almond Nut Milk
 
Free Recipe!
Ingredients: 100gm Raw Almonds, a few pitted dates, 750ml filtered water
 
Method:   Soak a handful of almonds, approx. 100gm for 12-24 hours in some water (preferably filtered).  Drain. They swell up to double their size and are much easier to digest when soaked.

Almonds are a good source of calcium and healthy fats. 

You can use them unpeeled (but if you prefer to remove the skins,  pour almost boiling water onto them, wait a minute and then using a spoon, lift out one at a time and squeeze between fingers and thumb.  The skin should slide off easily.  If it doesn’t your water was not hot enough.)
Yes I know it sounds like a lot of hard work but it goes surprisingly quickly. How much time do you spend in front of the TV or yakking on the phone?  If you’re doing a lot of nuts at once, get someone in the family to help out.

Soak some dried pitted dates tin water 12-24 hours. Do not drain.  The water gets syrupy and sweet and the dates soften. Blend the nuts in 750ml filtered water, optional - add the dates with soak liquid = sweet almond milk.

If you are just using the milk to pour on cereal or raw muesli you won’t need to strain the mixture. Otherwise pour the liquid through a nut milk bag - muslin/cheesecloth etc. (I have used a lingerie wash bag before)  Keep the nut pulp for using in other recipes.
The nut milk should keep in the fridge in a glass jar for 4-7 days. Just check toward the 4 day mark to make sure it still smells ok.

OESTROGEN DOMINANCE, PELVIC FLOOR, FOODS AND MENTAL HEALTH - 21 February 2011


Hello!


Hope you are having a wonderfully healthy and happy week!
Lots of stuff on today's show - and all the audio and fact sheets are below!


I've just come back from an awesome 4 day weekend in Russel in The Bay of Islands in New Zealand. An absolutely spectacular place, gorgeous scenery, beautiful sunny, warm weather and 2 full days out on the water catching fish - King fish, snapper, couple of sharks and some NZ fish. The big job was to catch some Marlin but it seemed they were getting caught on other people's lines and not our own!
Next time!
But we had an awesome waterfront villa and ate some of the best meals i've ever eaten, including the last night's big cook up of freshly caught fish by us and some chips and salad and vegies!
YUM YUM
The chips were a bit naughty but they were really good shoestring fries so at least they were enjoyable.


On today's show we talk about some different and highly nutritious SNACK BITES and all the info is right here for you!

Today Narelle fills us in on Oestrogen Dominance - what is it, who gets it, how do you know you have it and what does it mean to have it.
If you are having trouble feeling well, losing weight or feeling a bit out of sorts with your health, give Narelle a call or check out her very informative website. She has helped me and is so knowledgeable!



JENNY DUGARD

Jenny has mentioned the pelvic floor in many of her interviews. We hear about it when discussing pregnancy with women, it is mentioned in pilates and yoga classes and it's apparently tricky to find within yourself. So what is the pelvic floor and how do we keep it in top condition - for both men and women.


JOY MOZZI
Living Foods Facilitator
FRU-VE-NU
Joy and I were discussing living foods a few weeks ago and she mentioned how foods can affect our moods, our mental state and even influence depression. I have had experience with this in my own and my family's life and so too had Joy. She was kind enough to share her story with us today and let us know some facts she's discovered over the years on how normal, everyday foods can affect us mentally. For more info check out the Mental Health Foundation.
