Change our way of thinking. #adaptabilityiskey (at Wellington Region)

A pretty alarming statistic for kiwi males. The fact is men do not think about their health as much as they should. The consequence of this is that we are dying younger/ suffering from horrible diseases. Stereotypical hobbies such as drinking too much, eating crap food, not sleeping, overworking, leading a sedentary lifestyle, not addressing stress and being too ashamed to ask for help are the major causes.

Right here is a stress chart that you should be familiar with. As with everything in life, too much of thing isn't a good thing, as you can clearly see in this stress chart. What surprises people is that a good level of stress is actually benefical to our body (eustress), when this occurs you are happy, functioning well and totally dominating your day. It also helps positive adaptations in muscle mass, neural stimulation, exercises our hormones and brain. The problem occurs once we put ourselves in a prolonged or chronic stress pattern. After we hit our optimal peak the decrease in performance also relates to our health, well being and our hormones ability to function optimally meaning illnesses and then eventually autoimmune disorders. So what's the cure? Manage your stress levels via lifestlye habits and have 'me' time breaks, breathe correctly and learn how to let things go (meditation and gratitude training). #stressmanagement #adrenaldysfunction #adrenalrecovery #foodsensitivities #guthealth #healthyliving #holistichealth #functionalhealth # eustress #stress #disease #illness #preventabledisease #adaptabilityiskey #lifestyle #habits #knowledgeispower #knowyourbody #bodyawareness #mentalhealth #mensawareness #restandrecovery #understandyourclients #wellbeing #wellness #wellingtonnz #newcastleupontyne (at Wellington, New Zealand)

Since becoming a functional health and wellness practitioner, I am finally adopting this quote. I have often been seen as an all of nothing person and to my credit I have done pretty well in life. I will say regaining health is something you can't just power through or force. It is all about those small steps that help build momentum, confidence, listening/ understanding your body and distressing. It's hard work and before you know it, that stressed out all or nothing individual becomes a healthy successful person taking small steps into building an amazing future. #healthisgreaterthanfitness #functionalhealth #holistichealth #healthylifestyle #littlesteps #biggerpicture #bodyawareness #lifestyle #adaptabilityiskey #knowledgeispower #stressmanagement #adrenalfatigue #guthealth #healthyliving #wellness #wellbeing #newcastleupontyne #wellingtonnz (at Wellington, New Zealand)

If there is one post I would want the whole wide world to see this would be it. Stress is no joke and what is scary about this stat is that it was found in 2010! After my ordeal with stress I know how quicky and devastating this evil demon can be. One of the main reasons why I moved away from being a personal trainer to functional health and wellness practitioner is to put all my efforts into giving people the knowledge and tools to manage their stress and to live a life where they have the appropriate coping mechanisms to handle stress and make the most of everyday. #healthisgreaterthanfitness #stressmanagement #functionalhealth #healthylifestyle #guthealth #adrenalrecovery #thyroidhealth #stress #disease #death #knowledgeispower #adaptabilityiskey #understandyourclients #knowyourbody #bodyawareness #biggerpicture #education #listenyourbody #enjoythejourney #wellbeing #wellness #wellingtonnz #newcastleupontyne (at Wellington, New Zealand)
