'Whether you think that you can, whether you think that you can't, either way you are right'. Henry Ford
Thanks for joining us, today, we need to look at what we believe about ourselves and our capabilities, we only ever get what we believe, and we only ever do what we think we are capable of. So what if you stretched you mind to think that you can do something that you never thought was possible before. So if we are talking about weight loss for example, what if not only you were to lose that weight, but you were going to look amazing and enjoy it. See maybe you have always associated weight loss with struggle, and maybe you never really thought that you could do it, have fun and keep the weight off.
If you changed your mindset, to believe in yourself, maybe just maybe you could do things that you never could before. Each new experience will then give your confidence to believe in yourself,

DAY 2- 30 DAY CHALLENGE
' we are what we repeatedly do' Aristotle
Today is about getting outside our comfort zone, life is how we spend our days...that is our life.
So today, lets do something different. Instead of walking...run, instead of yelling...sing, instead of doing nothing...do something. Look at your goal, what are three things that you can do differently today to work towards your goal....you need to commit yourself at least 30 minutes out of your day towards your goals.
Ok I have something for you to try, raw garlic...its really not that bad. Garlic is a potent immune booster and contains both anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. Chop it up as fine as you can, put it in a glass of water and shot it down. Great for your skin, great for the immune system, great for overwell being (Lets be real though, not so great for the breath, them the breaks)
Lets get as healthy as we can.

DAY 1-30 DAY CHALLENGE
'you have to dream so that you can get up in the morning' Billy Wilder
Ok So its Day 1 of the thirty day challenge. Today is about getting outside the box we know as our comfort zone. It deciding where we want to go, because that is the only way to get there. So take 30 minutes for yourself and start day dreaming about what you want, where you want to go, how much healthier you want to be, how much weight you want to lose, how much clearer you want your skin to be. Whatever it is write it down.
Sit with it, then chose three things from the list that are achieveable in 30 days. We need it to be measureable also.
ie Lose 4 kgs in 30 days.
So then take your goal and break it down into manageable steps, ie. lose 1 kg every 7 days...think of ways that you could do this..move your body everyday, replace all drinks with water, replace one meal a day with a salad, whatever it is that is going to work for you. Plot it out, something like this...
Week 1: Do something physical every day for 30 minutes
week 2: in addition to moving my body, replace all fluids with water
Week 3: Replace normal lunch with salad
Week 4: Cut sugar out of meals.
These are just very basic teps and ideas, you need to make them your own, to define where you are going. It is advised that you seed advice from a medical practioner prior to undertaking any new eating or exercise regime.
So now you know where you need to go, you have drawn up the map. Place it somewhere that you can see it everyday. This is the only way to get there, lets get to it. Join us tomorrow for the next step to our own success, to your good health

Naturally pregnant
Falling pregnant is not always easy…
Having a baby is a precious gift and conceiving should be an easy, natural process. Sadly for many couples it is an extremely distressing experience as they struggle to conceive and/or maintain a pregnancy. The causes of infertility are many and varied, and affect both females and males. Sometimes the man's sperm count is too low; sometimes there is a hormonal imbalance in one or both partners; sometimes lifestyle factors such as diet, alcohol or smoking are at fault; and sometimes there may be no obvious reason at all.
From a holistic, natural perspective, difficulty conceiving can be due to issues such as stress, toxicity, nutritional deficiencies and/or hormonal imbalances.
Are you too stressed to conceive?
Is stress making it difficult for you to conceive? Have you ever noticed that it is often when a couple stops trying to conceive, and they start to relax, that they fall pregnant? The impact of stress on infertility cannot be underestimated, both as a cause and as a consequence of not conceiving, in both partners. Stress impacts the reproductive system on all levels. In fact, stress actually inhibits the reproductive system; so if you are stressed, this may affect your ability to have a baby.
A detox can help!
Toxicity may also affect your ability to conceive. When your body is too toxic, it can be very difficult to conceive and maintain a pregnancy. A comprehensive integrated detoxification program involving both digestive repair and liver regeneration is an important step in both addressing infertility issues and pre-conception care. At our practice, we specialise in detoxification programs that improve liver clearance of hormones and toxins that may impair fertility.
Excess fat affects fertility
Being overweight impairs fertility and is a common cause of miscarriage, gestational diabetes, toxaemia, low birth weight and premature birth. If you are overweight and struggling to conceive, we can help with dietary advice to assist you in losing weight, making better dietary choices and increasing nutrients critical for fertility and a healthy pregnancy.
Healthy parents make healthy babies
Nutritional deficiencies can also be a contributing factor in infertility. In order for you to give your little baby the best start in life, it is important that both the mother and father are in optimal health. Ensuring you both have optimal body stores of vitamins and minerals will support energy production, healthy metabolism, healthy foetal development and reduce stress. We can recommend nutritional supplements to support both male and female fertility and nutritional status.
Are your hormones out of balance?
Hormonal imbalances can be a significant factor in infertility. Basically, without the right balance of hormones, it is extremely difficult to conceive. Fortunately, there are some great combinations of herbs and nutrients that can balance your hormones and improve fertility.
For men: There are herbs that assist in the increased production of testosterone and other male hormones. Herbs can increase virility, fertility and sperm production. They work together to rejuvenate the reproductive system and increase libido. Combined with nutrients, they can provide powerful, effective natural support for the male reproductive system.
For women: Particular herbs can support ovarian function, healthy fertility and libido. Herbs can improve hormonal balance, regulate the menstrual cycle and nourish the reproductive system as a whole. A combination of herbs with key nutrients may help to boost your fertility.
The subject of infertility is often stressful and can be overwhelming for couples who are struggling to have a baby. If you are experiencing difficulties with fertility, please come in and see us today for information on pre-conception care and natural support of your reproductive health.
