Why Juicing Is NOT the Answer You Are Looking For
Juicing helped me shed over 5.5 stone, but on its own it isn’t the answer. I compare it to a selfie stick, useful for a moment but not built to last.
How to Make Almond Milk (Using a Juicer or a Blender)
I show two ways to make your own almond milk at home, one using a masticating juicer and one using a blender, both with soaked almonds and dates.
The Alchemist and the treasure that was there all along
A short fable about chasing a dream across the world, and the question it leaves you with about what you already have right in front of you.
How Weight Loss is Like A Skydive
I compare my weight loss to a skydive, the rapid free fall at the start, then the slow, controlled descent once the parachute opens, and what that taught me about progress.
Why my career change had to be about more than money
On Melanie Cheeseman’s Vitality Show in 2015 I talked about leaving a well-paid director job, the blog that took off, and an email I’ll never forget.
Detox: Ultimate Lemon Water
My simple way to make warm lemon water using a high speed blender, said to help flush toxins and clear mucus, ready in under a minute.
Raw Scones (Raw Cream Tea)
Raw scones made from oats, brazil nuts, chia seeds and coconut sugar, dehydrated rather than baked, served with raw jam and clotted cream.
Raw Raspberry Jam
A raw raspberry jam made with dates, chia seeds and fresh raspberries, no cooking involved, made for a Great British Afternoon Tea on one of my courses.
Vanilla Clotted Cream
A raw, dairy free clotted cream made from soaked cashews, coconut nectar and vanilla, made for a Great British Afternoon Tea on one of my courses.
Beliefs = Actions = Results
A quick video from an early morning run on why belief alone isn’t enough to get results, you need to take action, especially on the days you don’t feel like it.
Put yourself in the diary
The bath’s run, the book’s open and a timer is set for thirty minutes. Why time for yourself makes you better for everyone else, and how to protect it.
