Introduction
The more you delve into yourself the more you realise how complex everything is! We aim to simplify the information as much as possible so its easily digestable (Wink wink).
So we now know the mind is the catalyst to our feelings and actions or at least stores information from our experiences and forms our beliefs which we then act on, based from our own personal perception. The physical workings of how all of this happens is in the science! How this is relevant, is that in our bodies, if we don't have the correct environment for chemical processes to work effectively, it can alter our perception, our mood as well as lay grounds for disease . People recognise lack of good food and adequate exercise with poor physical health but this also greatly impacts our mental health. If our brains aren't getting or giving the right signals or our hormones aren't producing enough feel good chemicals for example, it can leave us feeling depressed, suffering from brain fog, memory loss and more. The essence of a healthy mind is based on what we put in and on our body so when we process thoughts, we receive the right signals to feel and act rationally and not get over emotional which leads to bad decision making. This is also true for gaining enough sleep, exercise and receiving good vibes.
​
This is why sometimes, fixing your issues with talking therapies alone may not help as much as you would like! The thought is the first step to a healthy body and mind, but if your trying to feel good through thought alone but continuing to disrupt your internal functions, you may find yourself stuck and unable to stay persistent with the new habits you are trying to create.
​
We have also seen a rise in deaths from our bodies failing through cancer, cardiovascular disease and a few others. Sometimes, people feel like they lead a healthy life but when faced with an illness or disease, can, along with professionals, be baffled with what the actual cause is. Without a known cause, how can someone provide a solution? This can leave many feeling helpless and hopeless. The good news is, education is at your finger tips. Yes its daunting and time consuming, but don't leave your life in the hands of someone else. Especially if they profit from masking your symptoms and not investigating deeply enough. No one knows your body as well as you do!
What is intriguing and certainly coming back, is Holistic therapies; using nature to help us heal. Personally, I think It should be the first thing a doctor asks - What is your diet like, what are your stress levels, have you suffered trauma etc? But instead of a deep dive into finding the cause, they treat your symptoms. Nature was here before machines and pharmaceuticals, and yes we had a problem with hygiene, deaths through child birth and infections and other causes of death and modern medicine has been wonderful in so many ways, BUT! a big part of what I want to share is prevention. Why are we always raising money to find a cure and not spending more time figuring out why certain disease and illnesses are rising. We have to look at what we are doing that is different and learn how our bodies actually work and what is needed for our chemistry to carry out the processes needed for a healthy mind and body. From my research so far, here are some of the main contributors to ill health in our era- Deficiencies, heavy metals and toxins, parasites, low vibrational states such as fear and stress, trauma, genetic mutations through previously stated issues as well as hereditary factors; AND disconnection from nature and each other. These points will be explored later in more detail with supporting documents from studies and peoples experience. I would ask for you to have an open mind and take your health more serious. Don't wait until doctors offering you a potential cure- instead, prevent ill health by investing in you! If you feel this is too late - We will have suggestions on safe natural healing methods.

Lets take a look at the 3 main core elements of science in relation to our body.
BIOLOGY
Explains how we are made up, our cells that make up organans and their processes.
CHEMISTRY
The Role of Chemical Reactions in Our Bodies.
From extracting energy and nutrients from food to regulating movement, response, and recovery, chemical reactions play an essential role in our body's functions. In fact, nearly every internal process in our bodies involves a chemical reaction.
​
PHYSICS
Explaining Bodily Functions Using the Laws of Physics
The laws of physics have numerous applications in the human body. From the mechanics of muscles and body movements to the fluid mechanics of blood and air flow, physics is essential to understanding how our bodies work. It also helps explain the acoustic properties of the ears (sound waves), vision optics (light waves), heat and energy and electrical signaling.

THE BASICS
​
NUTRITION
Your body is your souls vehicle and its important to look after it like you would with a car! A diesel can't function if you put petrol into it! It will also decline in efficiency if you don't top up the water and oil, change tires when needed etc. Why do so many people fail to look after what goes in and on their body? Main reason is because there's no immediate signs of wear and tear. You don't get liver failure from a night on the drink, you don't get overweight from a Pizza on a Friday night. I'm all up for a drink and a pizza and believe the best diet is a balanced one as its more sustainable. However, some people abuse their body by putting stuff into it that isn't good day after day. Over a period of time, your body will respond and not in a good way. Just like a car not getting the correct fuel, your body will fail to sustain. This is why its important to eat nutritional food that our body's need to function. Heavy metals, toxins and parasites are areas that never seem to be spoken much about but something we will be sharing to spread understanding and consideration that may be contributing to your poor health.
TIP: Remove refined sugar, gluten and cow dairy for minimum 28 days. Eat more raw organic fruits and veg.
Do a body cleanse (You can find information about his on the shop page). elimination process, take note of how certain foods make you feel and try cutting them out or make a food diary. If you are unable to eat certain foods, use clean supplements - see shop tab)
HYDRATION
So we all hear how important it is to drink water. The word on the street is 4 pints a day! However, this will depend on a few factors such as your age, height, what hydration you are already consuming through foods. We are made up of a high percentage of water so it's really important we are getting a good amount but also, good quality.
TIP: Invest in a water cleaning system - I use a Water Distiller and and take minerals salt or electrolytes.
You can also get these through fresh fruit. Head over to Shop to see what I use.
EXERCISE
Back to the car example. If you don't use a car for a few month, the battery can go flat. If your not using your body, your joints can stiff up, your muscles will deplete. The importance to move your body is also good for your metabolism which breaks down the food we eat as well as your over all mood and vibration.
TIP: Walking, swimming and yoga are all gentle on the body and not too strenuous. Walking with friends can be a great way to move your body as well as feel like your connecting with others so can be great for mental health.
ENVIRONMENT
People know about the importance of eating nutritious food and exercise, but what they may not realize is our environment is an important factor too. The very air we breath, the clothes we wear, the products we use, all emitting chemicals and frequency that can affect our cells and chemical processes. Make sure you are getting your fair share of fresh air into your lungs and know the important of sweating out heavy metals and toxins (detox).
TIP: Replace your household items with organic and toxin free products, linen or organic cotton bedding. Mould is worse than we are lead to believe and there's a correct way to remove it. Make sure you get out in nature as much as possible. Practice dry brushing, rebounding, steams and lymph massage to help open detox pathways to help these toxins leave the body.
​
SLEEP
This is a one most of us will be aware of. Good sleep improves your brain performance, mood, and health. Not getting enough quality sleep regularly raises the risk of many diseases and disorders. These range from heart disease and stroke to obesity and dementia.
TIP: Come off your devices at least 1 hour before bed, ground yourself, practice gratitude or meditate to calm the nervous system. You could also take a shower, go to bed the same time every night and don't sleep with your phone near your head.
​
ENERGY/FREQUENCY
This is a one most people may not be aware of. Everything in life vibrates at a certain frequency. Even things that appear to be still! Your food, your clothes even the friends you associate with all operate on a frequency. These frequencies omit energy which your body absorbs. If its negative energy, you may be susceptible to feel depressed, tired, drained. If it's positive, you will also absorb this and may feel relaxed, joyful and content. Without going deep into the science, energy vibrations can effect the functions of your cells. Even your thoughts have a vibration and this is where the concept of manifestation comes from. Your thoughts can become things. If your thoughts are sending out vibrations of a positive nature, you will attract positive things in life. To explore more about this, do a dive into quantum physics - I recommend following Dr Jo Dispenza and DR Bruce lipton.
My tips for this will be, get outdoors more, connect with the earth (grounding) practice meditation, gratitude and manifestation techniques. Be aware of your energy around people, or when wearing certain fabrics/colours etc. You can also join my free group, Head over to THE VIBE HIGH CLUB to learn more.

IMPORTANT
With all of that said. We can delve a little deeper. In this day and age when information is rife, we find so much confusing and conflicting information about the right way to do things. The right foods, the right form of exercise, the best water to drink etc. Doing the basics will help for sure but having a deeper understanding to improve your chances of good health will help. Keep an eye on our website as we are updating with more useful information tips and tools. ​​​​​​​​
