Weight Loss for Life, 1 February, IEC
Would you like to stop the dieting rollercoaster once and for all?
I will explain how the body makes energy and burns fat, and the most
successful way to lose weight for good without feeling hungry or deprived
- as confirmed by studies. Learn how to manage your weight the easy
way - for life! My talk also covers common obstacles to weight loss,
and how to identify and address those that affect you personally.
Losing Weight and Feeling Good, 3 February, FGF As above.
3. Boost Your Metabolism, 6 February, CHHC
A properly fired-up metabolism helps us to enjoy life as well as manage
our weight. Yet many people in the UK feel sluggish much of the time.
Learn about the energy-blockers and energy-boosters, and how to use
the power of food to raise your energy and your spirits as we move
towards spring.
Weight Loss for Life, 9 February, PHC As 1 February above.
Mental Wellbeing, 9 March, IEC
I regularly use the power of nutrition to help people with mood disorders
ranging from hormonal mood swings, depression and high stress response,
right through to OCD, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. This talk
covers the optimum eating patterns for stable mental functioning,
and outlines some of the very exciting research into specific nutrients
that underpins the concept of Optimum Nutrition for the Mind.
Metabolic Typing, 23 March, IEC
Would you like to be able to identify your metabolic type? I will
take you through a more advanced system than blood typing. Understanding
the five main metabolic types can help you to identify your own (and
other people's) optimum eating patterns and food choices, as well
as biochemical strengths and weaknesses, exercise preferences and
even personality traits! A fascinating subject.
A Better Night's Sleep, 27 March, CHHC
Whether they admit it or not, large numbers of people experience sleep
disturbance. Regular sleep deficit undermines not only current wellbeing
but also future health. Come and learn about the major sleep disrupters,
and some of the wide-ranging nutrition and lifestyle solutions to
this common problem.
Men's Health, 17 April, CHHC
The particular health problems that men experience and the special
health risks that they face are different to those of women - not
surprisingly! Men can also be less than willing to consult doctors
about their concerns or fears. This talk looks at some of those differences,
and proposes a general health plan for men, with particular focus
on heart and prostate health, and male vitality.
