Improve health and lose weight by increa...

In last month’s edition (click here) our 5 simple steps to increased health were introduced. We discussed the issue of too much sugar and the massive side effects of excessive carbohydrate intake.   I recently stumbled over yet another article with further supportive evidence to my recommendations that you need to lower your carbohydrate intake. It has now been confirmed that pancreatic cancers use fructose to fuel their growth (1).

500 Visits Club Member – Jody O...

Message from the Coach: Jody O’Connor is a great inspiration to so many of the members (and Coaches) here @ EFM Caulfield, as she is in all aspects of her life. She probably doesn’t realise how many people she affects in such a positive way, but as the Coach looking on, I see it every day.  Jody takes any set-backs and challenges all in her stride, with no fuss and no bother. Her wellness and strength have not just happened – she has trained so consistently and so passionately, as is evident in her 700+ visits@ EFM……….. and still counting. Jody...

Spring exercise, nutrition and lifestyle...

Time for a Spring Clean? Jump up & down if you love spring weather! That wasn’t just a thinly veiled attempt to get you to move. As a health and lifestyle coach I love this time of the year because as the weather starts to warm, energy levels rise and we naturally want to move more. Traditionally this is also the time of year for a bit of spring-cleaning. This year, I propose you take that sentiment beyond your house to all areas of your life. Your house: Spring is time to air & clean your bedding to reduce allergens, but also to change to lighter weight...

PhysioFact by James McEwan: Recovery...

As a physiotherapist who treats many patients who break down with injuries, thus limiting their exercise program, I am constantly reminded of the most important aspect of exercise and training. RECOVERY It is one of the most discussed topics amongst professional athletes and sporting teams, yet limited scientific evidence is available. Most information is anecdotally from coaches and athletes, with a good mix of urban myth added to the theories. The living legend of cycling Lance Armstrong agrees “Recovery…..that’s the name of the game….Whoever recovers the fastest...
