A complete approach to human health, one that will help shift the way you eat, move and sleep.
My ongoing development as a trainer through the pursuit of knowledge about the human body is something i want to share with everyone. I believe as humans we should move in every day life more freely, exert our self's physically on a regular basis, and look to make better food choices to help cultivate a body in which we feel comfortable and confident in for life. Understanding that there's "no one size fits all" when it comes to attaining a better state of being, I treat each of my clients as individuals who's specific wants and needs are unique to them. By applying the principles of science in exercise and nutrition, and with a willingness from the individual to embrace change in their daily habitual practices, i have resounding confidence in my ability to help people achieve their potential.

You can now follow me on Youtube as I serialise the movements I used to help relieve lower back pain and tightness after injuring my back during a seizure last year.
I'm highly confident anyone who has muscular pain and stiffness in their back (and at the hips and shoulders also) will significantly benefit from implementing some of these movements into their daily lives.
So, what if we started to reimagine ourselves? What if we started to play around with some different things without much concern for the outcome? But what if things turn out “bad”? I like who I am and my life so why the need to change? The only constant in the universe is continual change, so how’s it any different for ourselves?

I know this has become something of a sensitive subject over the past few years, but it appears taking a cheap and safe supplement could be more effective than injecting yourself with an expensive trail medical procedure of which the long-term side effects are unknown.
May be FB will threaten to ban me again for posting FACTUAL information!

Understanding how something works makes it more relevant and applicable. Weight loss is always synonymous with the new year after holiday indulgences, but how do we actually burn fat? Simply eat less and move more?
A little too simplistic perhaps, but here's Dr. Andy Galpin (a tip top expert in my humble opinion) on the physiological process of burning fat in an easy to understand way for the general populace.
In this episode of "5 Minute Physiology" I break down the basic physiology of fat loss. Understanding this will improve your likelihood of achieving your (or...

A year ago I mangled my back pretty bad having a seizure in the middle of the night. After being bed/sofa bound for a few days I started to move it again, slowly but surely. It really didn't want to move, but with continued persistence it started to release and the pain eased.
I'm now in the process of putting it all together to share with you how movement really is medicine.

Traditionally the start of a new year is synonymous with change; an effort to relinquish the past and look towards new horizons. Habit change is the name of the game - “I’ll stop procrastinating so much and do X, Y, and Z…but where do I begin?” Do get me wrong, I truly know the power of habits and how they shape our lives, but what's fundamentally more important is to understand why we develop them in the first place.

Born to be wild has been created out of necessity, a necessity we can all relate to; the need to improve the well being of ourselves and that of our environment. There's no masking the fact we're in the midst of some serious issues relating to our own health and that of the Earth. As a whole we've been neglecting our physical, mental and spiritual faculties whilst casting a dark shadow over mother nature. Our current relationship with our planet is far from harmonious. We're bleeding her dry of everything she has to offer, but rarely do we give her anything in return.
The problem can be put simply; we live in a disposable world where we consume things at a ferocious pace. During this age of decadence we've been feeding ourselves an excess of food, foods that are often poor nutritionally, whilst also placing a heavy burden on the planets ecosystems. In it's fifth assessment report, the intergovernmental panel on climate change concluded theres a more than 95% probability that human activities over the past 50 years have warmed our planet. Our eating habits are with out question part of the issue.
The solution needs to come from us. Although somethings may seem simple, the heart of the issue is complex. The simplicity lies in that we need to consume less of the planets resources. Many of the foods we eat have untold consequences. Most of today’s modern agricultural practices are destroying lands, leading to less biodiversity as the soils become poisoned. Fruits and vegetables often come packaged in plastics, many going to landfill sites globally. We need to reverse this trend, buying out of convenience, which is causing more harm than good.
The complexity lies in how do we achieve this. There needs to be a sense of collective urgency, not just on the part of governments and international organisations, which must come from us. We need to make better use of what we have and look closer to home for solutions. The need to be conscious of the things we do on a daily basis, impacting on both the environment and our own health, has never been greater.
We've succumb to the diseases of the affluent in the industrialised world – obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancers to name a few. Another situation steming from our modern lifestyles is a rise in the cases of mental health disorders. Mental health problems are one of the main causes of the overall disease burden world wide. An estimated one in six people in the UK experienced a common mental disorder like depression or anxiety in the past week. It's time we talked more open and freely about our struggles, especially within the male population.
In the UK the leading killer of males under 45 is su***de. Every week 84 men take their own lives. How has it come to this? Social norms make it difficult for males to be open and honest with their feelings and emotions. The cultural dogma (certainly within the UK) of masculinity is of a resolutely strong and in control man at all times. Revealing that your depressed or anxious is seen as a sign of weakness. This couldn't be further from the truth.
The idea behind born to be wild is to grow a tribe that is open to all who recognise a need to shift the way we think and act towards ourselves, those around us, and the planet as a whole. We recognise that as a collective we are stronger and more well equipped to tackle the challenges that lay in front of us. It's a place we can share our triumps and failures, ideas large and small, and empathise with each others struggles. The human experience is something we all share in common, although in our own unique magical way.
