One of the things I am fascinated with is how to create healthy families. I think we underestimate how much support families need to undo the harms of the past and create a better future.

I just finished designing the new logo/avatar for my YouTube channel. It will record my journey back to Australia from China. It will be called Back2OzJourney.

I am having fun with ChatGPT that is helping me do the design and concept. I need to start writing scripts soon so I can do my first recording.

Am having fun!😄

Several years after my divorce I was introduced to the concept of a family mission statement. It was at that point that I realised that most of us struggle with our families and have no clear vision for what we want in life as individuals and as individuals who have families.

At that point, I started to turn my life around and focused on finding the answers I was seeking as to how we could create happy, healthy and connected families. I reasoned that most of the really successful families were clear on who they were and what they believed in. I created this statement while my girls were small, laminated it and used magnets to put it on the fridge and the back of the front door.

Fast forward many years and I am nearly completed my graduate diploma in lifestyle medicine. I am about to start looking for a university to do my PhD on this topic combined with my Chinese studies, my interest in plant-based nutrition and of course lifestyle medicine. I will probably devote the next ten years to this and any writings that come from my research.

I find it a fascinating topic and highly encourage everyone to take the time to consider what family means to you and what vision you would like to have for your family. Please feel free to do something similar and post in this chat.

I would love to see what others value and want in their lives.

So I am attending a pharmaceutical and health conference in Ningbo China. On the table in front of me is this drink. When I looked at the ingredients it says not for children or pregnant or nursing mother’s.

This is completely opposite to the food we are offering at our booth to help pay for our costs of joining the expo. Real ingredients and delicious taste - from our lifestyle medicine program CHIP - The Complete Health Improvement Program.

Next year we will focus on bringing lifestyle medicine interventions into Ningbo. Support us with a like.

We have come so far in what we are doing in China to help families go plant based.

A special thanks to Miholyn Soon who has designed our new webpage. I believe it will be www.essentialwellness.org and will be launched very shortly. I took the idea from her designs and created a PDF for posting on Wechat here in China. I am very happy with the results and hope to also have a printed version in English and Chinese soon.

What we really need now however is manpower and money. I have the passion, I have the ideas, I have the skills but I do not have the financial or manpower resources to execute what I want to do to its fullest.

We need the following;

1. Financial funding for our work in China.
2. A digital assistant for myself - MUST be VEGAN!
3. Once I have 1 & 2 we need two Chinese staff in Ningbo, one a China marketing assistant and one a Chinese Administrative assistant.

If anyone is able to help in anyway, we would greatly appreciate it.

Please feel free to share the following with anyone who may be able to help and support us in our work in China to help families go plant based.

Blessings!

If you or your loved one has diabetes, then this free webinar (in English) is for you.
This is an example of how this method works:
Mrs. Sun is a 58-year-old a peasant woman from Henan. She left Henan on October 4 and went to Ningbo for 2 weeks to participate in our 28-day program and learn how to reverse type 2 diabetes. Before she left Henan she underwent a fasting blood glucose test at the local hospital – 11.35!
Two weeks after starting a new diet (from October 5, 2020 to October 19, 2020) according to our diet guidelines, her fasting blood sugar dropped to 6.29!
14 days! She enjoyed the food and never went hungry. She preferred Chinese food but Western, Indian or any other cultural food is still possible. No matter what cultural background you have, you will find this program powerful!
It is likely she will continue to reduce her BSL and will gradually go off her diabetes medications if she continues with her dietary program.
If you are curious about this, we would like to invite you to attend the webinar that we have arranged online on Zoom this Saturday. It starts at 13:30 pm and goes for three hours. This webinar will be recorded and later subtitled in Chinese for our Chinese friends!
Just scan the QR code or email me direction and we will answer your questions. email info@8wellness.com
p.s. YES this way of eating WOE also is highly beneficial to those who have Type 1 Diabetes as well. This is because it helps to reduce inflammation in the body and increase insulin sensitivity. This means you pay less for your medication and you reduce your overall morbidity factors.
If you don't believe me, come to the webinar and ask our Whole-Food Plant-Based Experts;

Dr. Malcolm Mackay
Dr. Peter Johnston
Ms. Jenny Cameron
and
Dr. Shilpa Dhoka

CU there!
