There is an explosion of information in the media on fasting and longevity. Some of the information is conflicting, confusing or simply not true! There are many pitfalls to inappropriate fasting – causing people to fail, develop metabolic issues or worse…

Intermittent fasting, calorie restriction, time restricted feeding or periodic fasting, needs to be managed in an expert way by a qualified healthcare professional!

The workshop will give you a comprehensive insight into the pros and cons of fasting, what to expect and how to go about it safely.

Detox Workshop Salad

This easy and nutritious salad was an absolute hit at the Spring Detox Workshop. Due to a popular demand I had to right down dosages and come up with an actual recipe. A difficult task for someone who never follows cooking recipes strictly and always likes to experiment.

The good thing about salads is that you don’t have to be that precise with measuring ingredients, you just mix everything together in a bowl.

Change Your Walking Habits: Change Your Life

Exercise, if you could put it in a pill it would be demanded by patients, prescribed by every doctor and subsidised by governments. Its health benefits are far-reaching and almost too good to be true. Yet, in the most recent report by the Australian Institute of Heath and Welfare, less than 46% of adults are achieving the recommended level of activity.

Sometimes You need back surgery. Some times You don’t.

With up to 88% of spinal surgery being unnecessary or ineffectual maybe you want to avoid going under the knife.

Perhaps you don’t need surgery. Perhaps you need a second opinion with some realistic options to get better without drugs or surgery.

Many people (around 200,000) undergo lumbar spine surgery each years. Of those, an astonishing 20-40% will not become pain free as promised – and a full 10% will be worse off following the surgery!

To understand what is meant by “disc injury” it is necessary to understand the function and make up of the disc itself.

During our lives, many of us will have neck pain, and most of us won’t know exactly what caused it. In fact, neck pain can start from a whole range of causes.

Maybe you slept funny and woke up with a crick that won’t go away. You might’ve been rear-ended in your car and now you have whiplash.

Back pain is a very common complaint. About three in four adults will experience back pain during their lifetime-and that number may very well rise, given our aging population and recent trend of obesity.

Low back pain (pain in your lumbar spine) is the most common. Most back pain comes from sprains and strains caused by stressful movements: lifting something without using proper techniques or a sudden twisting motion are just two examples of how you can hurt your back.
