Bizarrely, despite the amount of impact it has on diet and exercise, the female menstrual cycle is often deemed an awkward subject to discuss, especially with a male trainer! It often takes a long time (I’m talking up to 6 months) before a female client feels comfortable to talk to me about their period, and […]
Scary title, right? But what’s even more scary is that it is often the case! You’ve been wanting to lose weight all this time, you finally found the motivation to take up an exercise regime (notice that YOU found it, not IT found you – there’s a lesson even in that), and you’re putting in […]
I know it’s been a long time since our last blog was released, educating you on how to improve your health and make informed decisions, but we are finally back! And just before we jump into this juicy blog, it would be great to get your opinion on what you would like to know and […]
What should you take before you workout? There are lots of different studies around the various forms of pre-workout supplementation and food intake.

So how can eating more create more weight loss? Well, allow me to explain. Firstly, yes, your body does require that you consume less calories than you […]
Now we’re in February and the post-Christmas hype has settled down, we get to see who managed to make it past month 1 of the New Year’s Resolution and will continue to pursue their ideal body and health. It has always bugged me how so many of the people who take up some form or means to improve their health […]
First of all, I’d like to thank everyone so much for the excellent feedback we had on last week’s blog. Which is part of what inspired me for this week’s write up. I had a series of topics to write about for The Vegan Walkthrough, which I was planning on releasing throughout the year. But […]
