Simple health solutions

I’d like to talk to you about some ideas that make for simple health solutions…
First up, it’s great to get crystal clear about HABITS:
Habits are the driving force behind good or bad health outcomes.
In fact, habits are the driving force behind almost ALL outcomes. Very tricky — because habits are very SUBTLE as well as POWERFUL — quite a combination!
They are subtle because the whole purpose behind them is to make any repetitive behavior AUTOMATIC. And automatic means they don’t need your control or even your awareness to happen.
That’s the power of habit, for good or bad… Read more
How to stock your kitchen

My friend and I talk about health a lot. But I couldn’t believe what he said to me the other day.
“When you come over, we can go shopping and you can show me how it’s done.”
Brain freeze!
That came as a bit of a shock to me!
What could be easier? You go round and put fruits, veg, nuts, seeds and good protein sources in your trolley, then you pay :-)
But of course it’s easy to assume that everyone knows what you know. If you’re used to having cereals, sandwiches and pizza as your staple diet, the fruit and veg aisles can look a bit daunting… Read more
Prevention is better than cure

Not only is nearly all chronic illness created by poor lifestyle but medicine cannot cure chronic diseases such as osteoporosis, arthritis, depression, obesity, heart disease, diabetes or cancer.
Modern medicine is based on drugs, surgery and the “pill for an ill” mentality…
It’s quite astounding when you think about the massive human resources we put into “health care” that to put it quite bluntly — doesn’t work!
For trauma, acute conditions and inherited conditions, the approach can be amazing. But for chronic conditions i.e. most problems, drugs and surgery don’t cure anything… Read more
Habit Guide didn’t take long to write

Habit Guide didn’t take long to write, but it took 20 years to learn how to write it.
I confess, I stole that quote. It was originally about an artist who transformed a painting with a few quick brush strokes. His amazed student asked “Wow, how can you do that in just a few seconds?”
The artist replied “It only took a few seconds to do it, but it took a lifetime to learn how to do it.”
Habit Guide has been twenty years in the making and was born out of a deep-felt desire to stop all the unnecessary suffering and create the health and happiness we all deserve… Read more
Why most diet and health books don’t work

Do you have a shelf full of diet and health books that just didn’t work for you? So why don’t they work?
There’s more than one reason but here’s the big one:
Most health and weight loss books don’t address the ROOT CAUSE of chronic health and weight problems. And for that reason, they’re ineffective, they don’t work and so they’re a waste of your time and money.
How many weight loss books do you know for instance, that explain why you just can’t stop yourself eating ice-cream when you get home from work — or whatever your “bad thing” is…
Is it enough to say “Don’t eat ice-cream?” No, it certainly is NOT enough.
Is it enough to say “Exercise for thirty minutes a day?” Again, no it’s not.
Is it enough to say “Eat 5 portions of fruit and veg a day?” Sadly, no… Read more
