Are you already dreading the fact that the festive season is approaching rapidly? Walking into shops the other day and reeling in horror at the sight of Christmas cards, chocolates, food, even mince pies, and turkey (oh yes, it's true, in September!),I found myself suddenly becoming rather excited at the prospect of two things: Stocking up on boxes of chocolate, telling myself that I am....

Your Inner Goddess, is yourself. Your soul. Your intuition. Your heart. The real, true essence of YOU. Simple! And the trick to unleashing her, is to simply learn how to quieten the hussle and bussle that confuses her, dig her out from underneath all of life's baggage that has accumulated and let her JUST BE! That's it! You do not need to invent your Goddess. The Goddess, is not an....

It is also the most common reason for women not to ovulate, and the combination of being overweight and having POS can have a profound affect on the individual’s ability to become pregnant. The cause of infertility in about a third of couples attending....

This is the time around and after the end of your periods. Strictly speaking the menopause is after the last menstrual period. This is usually around the age of 51. Changes can start to take place many years in advance of this, and women can start to notice more erratic cycles and heavier bleeding in their late 40s. This is due to hormone changes resulting in a dramatic reduction of oestrogen....

Osteoporosis is a common health problem in this country. As many as 1 in 2 women over the age of 50 will have osteoporosis. A sedentary lifestyle with a lack of weight-bearing exercise is a risk factor. Osteoporosis results in bones becoming less dense and more “honeycombed”. The bones are therefore more easily broken, especially if you have an injury such as a fall. Oestrogen is a....

The current guidelines from NICE (National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence) advise that people should not be expected to lose more than 0.5-1kg (1-2lbs) a week. If you lose more than this, some evidence suggests that you are more unlikely to lose the weight for good.

Diabetes affects more than 2 million people in the UK. Type 2 diabetes accounts for over 90% of cases. The numbers affected are only going to increase. One of the main concerns about developing diabetes is that you are likely to have a shortened life expectancy by as much as 5-10 years, mainly due to cardiovascular disease (heart attacks, strokes). Other complications of diabetes are eye....

Ali and the fat jeans… Now you’ll have to excuse me if I got a little confused this week… There I was sitting at my desk with the radio on for company, writing and editing articles for the web site when I caught the tail end of a news headline, something about ‘Ali, a revolutionary new weight loss product’ Wow I thought the PR people are really doing well!

It has been a long and challenging winter, but take heart, because Spring is just around the corner. The days are getting longer and warmer, and for many people the health resolutions they set at New Year are a distant memory. It is a great time therefore to do a whole re-evaluation of your health and lifestyle goals. Changes in your everyday habits can be critical, especially if a....

I have built my reputation on being able to get results, FAST and often when many others have tried and failed. That’s why I often travel the globe working with rock stars, celebrities, diplomats and even royalty. So what’s the key to finding the answers? Simple, ask good questions… One of the first questions I often ask my clients is ‘how do you know that?’ It doesn’t matter....

Now, one of the popular myths about weight loss is that it has to be hard work. What I found with working with my clients is that my clients lose weight even while they sleep. Let me explain that, because we achieve it in different ways. Using ‘The Slim Girls Key Secret’ CD that you have in your Slim Girls Box of Secrets, this can help to reprogram your relationship with food....

Q: What do a blue screen, bits of yam, blindness, and poop have to do with one another? A: Read on to discover. I've been practicing Eckhart Tolle's advice this week. Whenever I am resisting a moment- from a subtle resistance like "I wish that person would drive faster" to "I wish my body worked better in this yoga pose" to the more vehement "I wish my Dad were here NOW," I've repeated....
