The Healthification Podcast

Regularly my clients ask me how I manage to stay so focused on taking the best actions to stay fit and healthy. They’ll declare, “You’re lucky you have so much discipline” or “You’re lucky you don’t like food” or (you guessed it!) “You’re lucky you love exercise so much!”  The reality is that I have no more discipline than anyone else. I have at least as much supreme food love as any ... READ MORE

In todays encore show, Part 3 of my 6 Step System To SILENCE SELF SABOTAGE I discuss the power of language (especially your self talk) to shape your reality.  Regularly I feel frustrated for my clients as they choose the language that makes it harder to achieve their goals. Focusing on the lack. The struggle. The UN-fun. I’ll get strategic on what ... READ MORE

In last weeks encore show, Part 1 of my 6 Step System To SILENCE SELF SABOTAGE I shared that the steps I out-lined years ago still hold true. The only difference is my strategies around fuel have changed. I’m going to talk a lot about focus in todays encore show. I often call it the number law of fat loss or body gain OR creating a fit, healthy #plantstrong body ...

Nearly 200 episodes ago I shared my 6 Step System To Silence Self Sabotage. It’s the foundation for the vast majority of what I do as a vegan health coach. As you might have heard me say before: “If your MIND is stuck you’re wasting your time moving your body.” Mindset is the UN-sexy part of body and health transformation though right? It’s ...

As an emotional eater I’ve had to get somewhat crafty with my Portion Control Strategies over the years. In today’s show I’ll share just how extreme I need to be to stay in control of how much I demolish on a daily basis. It’s not a discipline or restriction based approach. Rather it’s an awareness of my lack of discipline and a commitment to ...

I’m sure you remember your most fav meals as a child. Although mine were all scrumptiously carbie the star of the show was invariably MEAT. From mum’s amazing roasts to mince based cannelloni and lasagna to meat laden pizza, pies and hot dogs… such carnivorous deliciousness was very much a part of my life. I’d regularly declare: “I could never be a vegetarian!” and “Meat is just ... READ MORE

I’ve learnt this lesson a couple of times. It’s a lesson that’s equally applicable to business, relationships and health. You’ve likely heard the saying: You don’t know what you’ve got till you lose it? Well, I believe even more so:  You Don’t Know What You’re Missing Till You Get It. Almost 10 years ago I bought into the business from hell! Escaping ... READ MORE

As I write this I’m sitting at the airport ready to fly home to Sydney after a lovely long weekend with the family in stunning Noosa. It’s a lunch time flight so beside me sits a little container of 3 delish stuffed mushrooms. Sorting your pre and post travel meals is one of the simple strategies I cover in today’s ... READ MORE

This morning during a nutrition session with a dear client I was reminded of the self perpetuating cycle through which we can find ourselves either detrimentally spiralling out of control OR easily building momentum with each reference point for success. You’ve likely experienced both the spiral and the success. When the rubbish food decision you make fuels the next rubbish food decision. And the next. Either through cravings. Guilt. Or perhaps just ... READ MORE

As I hung out over the kitchen sink on a lovely sunny Sydney Sunday afternoon I realized I devote a stupid amount of time to washing and prepping green leaves! It’s just one of those things that eats time. Certainly an area of my food prep that could do with an upgrade. So it’s timely that in todays show on: How To Prepare Quick ... READ MORE

Although the term is thrown around fairly freely it’s initially hard to imagine WHY any of us would Self Sabotage. Surely we all must have our own best interests at heart? Indeed even those most compassionate, selfless and generous of us must realize to serve others to our full potential we need to first look out for our own basic needs? And yet…with frustrating frequency self sabotage ... READ MORE

I haven’t bought shoes for over a year. Now I wouldn’t say I was ever a shoe fanatic however certainly I’ve experienced that “I must have you now!” desire for an especially gorgeous pair of perfectly chunky and shapely boots or impractical yet stunningly delicate heels. As I awkwardly manoeuvred my way across flooding footpaths to a 2 day business event last week ... READ MORE

Spoiler alert (!) in this brief intro to todays encore episode on 5 Common Mistakes Vegetarians And Vegans Make I’m going to jump straight to the ONE mistake I almost never made as a Vego! It’s for better or worse the mistake some Vegans perhaps should make more often

This morning as my alarm jolted me awake at 4.15am I felt fresh, focused and ready to power into the day. To my friends who don’t find it easy to bounce out of bed at ‘stupid o’clock’ I share this not to rub it in… more so to provide an alternative to the way I felt last Monday morning. Exactly 7 days ago ...

Last week I heard a quote that really resonated with me. It was along the lines of: Nothing is ever as important as the person experiencing it right now believes it to be. Ok, so I’ve butchered it a little. And I don’t know who to credit it too… however I’m sure you get my drift. It’s applicable from the ... READ MORE
