Inspiring Wellness with Jacky Dempsey

Summer invites us to slow down, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy precious moments with friends and family. It’s also a chance to step away from the constant pull of phones, iPads, and laptops, and truly recharge. As the holidays wind down, I hope you’re feeling refreshed and ready to embrace the new Autumnal season ahead.

For me these last two weeks have been challenging, I have been battling with menopause symptoms, low energy and a fair amount of self doubt. It has struck me throughout this period how powerful our own thoughts are, and sometimes when we feel like the world is judging us, it is in fact us who are our biggest and harshest critics.

I decided to switch my focus, and slow things down. I have nourished my body with healthy foods, dog walks, lots of rest and gentle yoga practice. Little by little, I can feel my old self re-emerging, and I’m hoping to step into September with a renewed sense of energy and positivity.

To anyone else out there struggling, it's ok, you're not alone, this is natural. Be kind to yourself, take a breath, get out into nature, step away from what drains you, whether it be people or screens and give yourself time. Nurture yourself, and soon you will find yourself again.

Weight loss jabs, a success story, or just delaying the inevitable?

Have you had some success with weight loss injections, but now need to adjust your eating routine for fear of gaining the weight once again?

Or perhaps you are someone who has suffered ill side affects from using these drugs such as digestive issues, nutrient deficiencies, muscle loss etc and now doesn't know who to turn to next?

The answer? A Health Coach.

A Health Coach will help to delve into the detail of your eating habits and behaviours. They can provide sustainable lifestyle support, behaviour change tools, and nutritional guidance that medication alone can’t offer.

Each person is different, and as such each person requires a tailored approach with individual support and guidance. A health coach is someone who is there to help you make the right choices and help educate you on eating in a balanced way for lasting results.

Those taking weight loss drugs tend to experience a resurgence of appetite and without behavioural change coaching or nutritional support, they can regain on average two thirds of the weight lost (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35441470/).
This can be due to reduced metabolic function and muscle loss due to inadequate protein intake and reduced activity.

Many of us are always looking for new ways to build healthier habits, and what better time of year to do this, during the summer months, a season that naturally lends itself to feeling more energized and motivated.

The nation's favourite fruit during the tennis, and it packs a punch 🍓
What's your favourite way to serve them up?
Ace it with cream, a drop shot of ice cream, or with the advantage of being dipped in chocolate? 😋🎾🍓

Another year on and I’m back at the Integrative & Personalised Medicine conference, this time gaining further insights to the health coaching world. An informative day & some inspirational work taking place particularly in the chronic pain and cancer sector. Slowly the medical world is opening up to the benefits of health coaching for their patients, very much welcomed. Hopefully more people will start to come across health coaches and see what a game changer it can be to work with one & make lasting changes.
