A 5 step guide to bring balance to your everyday life
5 Pillars of Health & Wellbeing
Pillar 1
Here we take a look into the importance of relaxing. This includes having some 'you' time, 'screen free' time, journaling, stillness and mindfulness and reclaiming your dining table.
Then we will go into the consequences of not relaxing and look at the affects Cortisol, a stress hormone, has on our bodies when we don't give ourselves time to relax and rewind and our body's responses to this.
So how can we make relaxing a normal part of our day to day lives? We look into some simple ways to bring ourselves back to the present, away from the stresses of everyday life.
Pillar 2
This pillar looks at 5 ways to eat better, myths and facts about diet, de-normalising sugar and how to cope with the cravings, the consequences of a bad diet, symptoms of eating too much sugar and diabetes risk.
We delve into the 'immune system', 'gut microbiome' and 'leaky gut' and how certain foods are 'flammatory' foods, yet others have an anti-inflammatory affect, how to un-process your diet, the importance of water, our 'circadian rhythm' and 'micro-fasting'.
Pillar 3
Here at Pillar 3 we look into the benefits of movement.
We will look at some myths and facts about movement, ways to move more without having to go to the gym, the importance of getting stronger and staying strong into later life, movement snacking, HIIT, understanding the different types of body fat (subcutaneous and visceral) and sleepy glutes (buttocks)
Finally I will show you a 5-minute kitchen workout you can do whilst you boil the kettle!
Pillar 4
I'm sure there will be a few groans about this pillar. Many people have problems either falling asleep or staying asleep.
So this pillar looks at why sleep is so important, what happens to our bodies during sleep and the consequences of not getting enough sleep.
We also look at some interventions to improve sleep, how micro-sleeps can be a huge benefit, how to manage your commotion and how certain food and drink can affect your our sleep.
Then I will give you 15 (yes 15!) ways to improve your sleep.
Pillar 5
Our final pillar looks at Emotions. This will include types of emotions and a look into the emotional brain (The Chimp), where I will talk you through how and why we think and behave the way we do.
Then we will look more closely at our behaviours, how to recognise your own behaviour before moving onto types and triggers of anxiety and depression, safety behaviours, physical symptoms, thoughts, feelings and some really useful tools and techniques to manage anxiety and depression.
Finally we will go through some tips for managing our emotions.
