How to Stay Fit Over the Festive Season- Christina Collison

Keeping up your exercise routine over Christmas will help you stay calm, feel energized, and cope with any seasonal stresses that may come your way. Christina Collison explains how and why you should find time to keep working out. The Challenge of Staying Active If you’ve let your workouts lapse over Christmas in the past, you’re not alone. A fitness report released by PureGym last year showed that 30% of people are most likely to reduce or stop exercising in the lead-up to the festive season. Are you going to be one of them, or will you commit to staying active? It’s understandable that exercise may not be the first thing on your mind over Christmas, even if you normally work out regularly. Routines change at this time of year, and it’s not uncommon to wake up not knowing what da...

What every woman needs to Know about Dementia – Christina Neal

More women than men are at risk of developing dementia, and women are more likely to be the main carers for loved ones with the disease. Christina Neal, Founder & Editor of Dementia Help magazine, reveals some common symptoms to look for and how to reduce your risk… Do you know someone living with dementia? Or perhaps you have a friend caring for a loved one with the condition? Dementia affects the brain and can have a debilitating effect on those living with the condition, making them increasingly reliant on the support of their loved ones for daily care. I understand how difficult this can be, as my own mother had vascular dementia, causing her to go from being an independent and self-sufficient woman living alone to needing assistance with even the most basic daily tasks. While t...

Perimenopause-Menopause, get prepared to figure it out for yourself – Theresa Russell

What is it and why are healthcare providers not prepared to help women when they seek out assistance? Why is half of the population still suffering, most of them in silence? We can ask endless questions to most health care providers but most of them will not answer. Women’s health has been deemed as unimportant. Medical schools do not educate on hormones. Therefore, gynecologists are not prepared to offer menopausal women guidance on this subject. Be prepared when you do want to talk about your strange symptoms that you will be brushed off and a prescription for an anti-anxiety medication will be given to you. Before you get that filled make sure that you look at the side effects. You do not want to trade one symptom for another one. Ladies, you are your own health advocate. You need...

The Importance of Nutrition- Dr Diana Martin Gotcher

Nutrition is arguably one of, if not THE most important measure of health and longevity. Diet fads and obsession over the physical “look” of our bodies have overshadowed the importance of fueling the cells with the most nutrient dense foods on the planet…raw, whole foods! No matter your dietary preferences, the facts remain the same. Research shows that plant foods, eaten in their most natural state, offer the highest quality of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and antioxidants essential for health and longevity. There is a vast difference between living in survival mode and thriving with abundant energy! Raw plant foods are easily digested and assimilated by the body. When we consume food that our body recognizes as usable fuel, we will feel energetic, and function optimally. Bei...

9 HOLIDAY WELLNESSS TIPS – Dr. Catherine Jackson

The holiday season can be filled with excitement. For many of us we look forward to spending time with family and friends, traveling or putting together wonderful holiday gatherings and parties. One of my favorite and fondest memories around this time of year is gathering with my family at my Aunt’s home where I see all of my aunts, uncles and cousins. Everyone brings a homemade dish or two, we open with prayer and thanks for blessings, break bread together, play games and talk into the wee hours of the night. However, with all of the hustle and bustle, the most wonderful time of the year can also be the most chaotic time leading to stress, anxiety and feelings of depression. With a little mindfulness everyone can fully enjoy the holiday season’s fun times and traditions, new and old. Thes...

The weather is improving and “SUMMER’’ is here! – Farah Zaidi

It is time to start changing the way we treat our skin. As we emerge into summer, our skin is exposed less to cold/dry air, more to higher moisture levels, more sunshine and warmer temperatures. This is a great time to change and update our skincare routine. To start off with, my favourite, SUNSCREEN! As the sun shines down on us, we need to increase the SPF rating in our skin care. Ideally, a minimum of SPF30 if going about our daily routines. Obviously if you plan to travel and go to warmer climates near the equator you should be opting for higher SPF and trying to avoid the sun at its peak between 11am - 3pm. Try and stay in the shade or at least use light clothing as cover up. I would also recommend to look for a ‘physical sunscreen’ which contains titanium or zinc oxide - the...

Mindfulness in a Pandemic: Even More Important Than Before – Ann Justi

By Ann Justi In a world that feels increasing out of one’s control, creating circumstances people would never have imagined only a year ago, turning to mindfulness has become an increasingly valuable means by which to cope.  People are using it as a mental health tool for dealing with everything from social isolation to recovery from stress.  The benefits include calmness, self-control, and better mental health, which is as important as physical health and should be maintained just like your daily workout. What is Mindfulness? Mindfulness is a mental practice in which someone directs their attention to the present moment, having a nonjudgmental awareness of their immediate surroundings, thoughts and feelings.  Practicing mindfulness in any situation, whether daily o...

A Brain Walks Into The Kitchen – Dr. Shelley Kaplar

By Dr. Shelley Kaplar This happens more often than not, then one typically walks back out of the kitchen trying to either find the thought or remember what they were going to get. Thankfully you’re not alone when this happens. Cognitive decline starts at the age of 40 and progresses as we age. If there has been a brain injury ranging from a mild concussion up to a severe TBI (traumatic brain injury) then the rate of cognitive decline speeds up.  As we age our brains start to shrink which also compromises areas of the brain that contain nerve fibers, and there are fewer connections between neurons. This can be a result of the deterioration of the myelin sheaths, which are the insulating layers around the nerves. Our brains also stop being able to metabolise glucose effectively wh...

Claudia Taboada Talks Being Stellar and The Importance of Selfcare

When Nico, Claudia Taboada's son was diagnosed with severe autism at 2 years old, she abandoned her law career to become his full-time caregiver. But it was the walks she had with Nico's dog more than 8 years later that completely changed her life. How would you describe yourself? Have you always identified yourself like so? Right now I would identify myself as someone who is finally becoming the most self-actualized version of herself. Someone who goes after dreams with confidence and who has found her life’s purpose and mission.  And no I was not always this way, just 11 years ago I was an autism mom not only her physical and mental health but also her identity due to motherhood burnout.  You're a celebrated speaker, coach & digital entrepreneur.
