Welcome to DAY TEN of the Plant Positive Jumpstart!

Our theme, #ThursdayTraining

Short and sweet from me today, my thought is making training or "Movement", however YOU want to frame it, FUN.

On the days when I’m not up for a full workout I’m settling for a 5 minute or even “one song” workout. I’m also embracing my "fab food" themed finishers from back in Covid times - hideous Covid times...

Today, Beautiful BERRIES!

(see pic for workout!)

These finishers might have your equipment free home exercising action covered HOWEVER I also have a heap of amazing content so far as your abundant delicious food. Today I’m shouting out my chat in #TheHealthificationPodcast E669: Dr Neal Barnard and Optimising Hormonal Health with Simple Diet Changes.

Understanding your hormones, their functions, potential imbalances and subsequent health problems can seem like an overwhelming, confusing and complicated undertaking.

I know in the health and fitness world, “hormonal imbalance” can be a bit of a throw away comment as to why someone might not be losing weight. Yet hormone related conditions stretch well beyond weight gain. Infertility, menopausal symptoms, breast and prostate cancers, thyroid problems, and acne - are impacted by your hormones and vitally can be improved by simple diet changes.

Neal Barnard MD's book, Your Body in Balance: The New Science of Food, Hormones, and Health, gives new hope for people struggling with health issues through strategic dietary changes. I’ve long been a huge fan of Dr Barnards work and have so much respect for his calm, yet fiercely uncompromising approach to advocating for plant based nutrition and ethical research and medical training.

I invited Dr Barnard on the podcast to share with us exactly how we can control our hormones and the problems they cause with the food choices we make every day. The heartening and hopeful news is, it’s easier than you might imagine.

Super grateful for this chat with a hero of mine! Check out our chat via the blog:
