We look at your whole body’s system
Weight gain is a multi-factorial issue, and to control weight, we need to look at the whole body’s systems and nourish the many issues that the problems on to help the body burn fat more efficiently.
The standard prescription for weight loss is ‘Eat less, move more’. It sounds perfectly reasonable. But why doesn’t it work?
The main reason is that humans are not like a car. You put fuel into your car and you have X amount of fuel to get you X amount of mileage before your car needs to refuel again. This is a linear system. The human body is a complex, dynamic and ever-changing system.
The human body is a chemical soup factory full of Hormones, Neurotransmitters, the Nervous system, Genetics, microbiomes etc. This is just some of the dynamic systems we know of, and don’t even fully understand.
Individual approach is our key to success
To treat metabolic conditions such as obesity, we need to look at the person as an individual, and we need to understand their stress load, life load, breathing mechanics, goals and motivations.
The key to metabolic conditions is that the body is trying to reach a state of homeostasis or balance all of the time. Our goal is to listen to its feedback, to stop doing the same thing and try something new and test to see if our bodies improve or get worse. We need to connect back to nature and our bodies.
This programme will educate you on listening to your body, educate you on food choices, educate you on food quality and teach you to love your body and give it what it needs to thrive.

Reasons We Put On Weight
Chronic Inflammation
Chronic inflammation in the body leads to an overworked immune system. The body goes into a state of survival. The body is in a state of heightened alert all the time, resulting in our normal bodily functions becoming impaired and reduced in their efficiency to operate causing increase risk of disease and increase risk of excess weight.
Poor Breathing Habits
Your lungs are the primary excretory organ for fat loss. If we learn to breath correctly we will not only burn more fat but also increase our blood circulation give our brain more energy to make better lifestyle choices.
Poor Sleep
Poor quality sleep reduces the body’s ability to recover and the brain’s ability to process the day’s information. Sleep hygiene and deep sleep is essential to help the body perform better every day.
Carbohydrate / Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance and carbohydrate resistance is becoming more and more common. This is because our food production system has created foods that are highly processed and are assimilated into the blood system too fast for our bodies to handle. Leading to blood sugar imbalance, mode issues and fat storage rather than fat burning.
Food Allergies or Intolerances
Poor digestion, improperly prepared food, or food that does not suit your body can cause the gut to get damaged causing an increase in gut permeability or leaky gut. This will cause inflammation in the body and a heightened immune reaction. This may increase food cravings, blood sugar imbalance and your chances of getting an allergy or intolerance to a food which can then hamper your ability to burn fat by keeping you in an inflammatory state if the food is continuously consumed.
Chronic Stress, Cortisol & Fluid Retention
Chronic stress puts the body into a catabolic state or body breakdown state. A long-term state of high stress means your body will be producing too much cortisol which will cause the body to break down muscle mass for energy and slow down your metabolism. High amounts of cortisol or stress in the body will also cause your body to hold on to water and cause fluid retention in the body.
Environmental Conditions
Our environment has an influence on our bodies. From the type of light our body gets daily influences or hormones and circadian rhythms. What the atmosphere is like may affect our emotions which can also be seen as energy in motion. Is the environment cold, warm, damp, or windy? These are all environmental factors in Chinese medicine that can influence how the body functions.
Adaptation to Imposed Demands
SAID Principle is basically where your body gets accustomed to the demands you put on the body. It becomes very efficient at fulfilling these demands and learns how to use as little energy as possible to do regular activities. You need to constantly confuse and challenge the body to fire the nervous system to create a more resilient and better body and to increase fat burning.
Hormones
Leptin, Ghrelin and Insulin
Leptin is a protein released into the blood from fat tissues following eating and acts as a satiety signal to the brain. Ghrelin turns on signals to eat – sometimes referred to as the hunger hormone. Together ghrelin, leptin and insulin help control our appetite. These hormones are often not operating correctly when the body has excess weight. Leptin does not effectively signal satiety in response to food, leptin levels rise to compensate resulting in leptin resistance, therefore, causing us to consume more food than the body needs. Balancing these 3 hormones is essential for weight loss.
Low Thyroid / Metabolism
The hormones of the thyroid regulate metabolism in every single cell of the body. A deficiency of thyroid hormones can affect all body functions virtually.
Xenoestrogens, Pollutants, Chemicals & Toxins
Our food in our food supply some beauty products and cleaning products contain chemicals that bind to oestrogen receptors which can create hormonal imbalances and cause fat to accumulate in the body. These can also bind to gene signalling in adipose tissue and cause new fat cell formation and increase inflammation in fat tissue. These nasty chemicals can also cause a suppression of adiponectin – which is a glucose regulator.
Not Enough Movement or Too Much Movement
Our human body has not adapted to the modern industrialised sedentary lifestyle. Nowadays, people sit for most of the day and do not have enough physical activity, which downregulates our metabolism, upregulates the hungry hormone ghrelin and makes us more insensitive to leptin (feeling full hormone). A sedentary life lowers the activation of postural muscles, which inhibits proper breathing function, and all of this starts a cascade of negative effects on the human body.
Unfortunately, Chronic Cardio is usually the exercise of choice for most people, which further breaks down muscle mass, increases stress hormones and generally makes you crave sugar. Cardio is not bad for your health but should be specific and targeted for you in activity guidelines.
Macro Nutrient Imbalance & Micro Nutrient Deficiencies
Our soil and food supply is becoming more and more deficient of nutrients. When you are starting a health programme, you vote with your money. You should choose high-quality local vegetables and meat so that you are nourishing your body to the best ability you can.
Not Enough Calories
Often people who are trying to lose weight are not consuming enough calories and put their body into a stress response which turns on fat storage rather than fat burning as the body is worried about food shortages and is preparing the body for a famine.
Too Many Calories
Usually, this comes in the form of processed foods. High-calorie nutrient void foods like soft drinks and 90 % of items that come in a box.
