VISCERAL FAT
What is it and why does it matter?
🍏
Visceral fat is found deep in the abdomen. It surrounds and protects your vital organs.
🍏
The soft fat that you can feel on your belly and under the skin all over your body is subcutaneous fat.
🍏
You can't feel visceral fat as it sits under the abdominal muscles.
🍏
Too much visceral fat increases the risk of health problems
such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance & is a common weight loss barrier.
🍏
Visceral fat is metabolically active and changes the way that the body works to create energy and keep your body functioning.
🍏
As we get older, fat distribution on the body tends to shift to the abdomen especially if we have a stressful life, eat processed foods,have poor gut health and are not sufficiently active.
🍏
Even people who have a normal BMI and are not overweight can still have raised visceral fat.
🍏
Monitoring visceral fat is crucial for assessing health risks.
🍏
A rough guide is to check waist circumference for men < 94cm and for women < 80cm.
🍏
During Metabolic Balance we monitor visceral fat using the Tanita Body Composition Scales.
🍏
We will be talking some more on the Mind, Body and Metabolic Balance FB group (link in bio) about the reasons why visceral fat accumulates and changes that you can make yourself in future posts.
🍏
I'm always happy to answer any questions. Please message me or book a free Discovery call (link in bio)

What do you truly desire?

If there were no limits how would your life look? What experiences would you be having? How would you feel?

Marisa Peer identified 3 main beliefs at the root cause of almost every issue that clients come to see us for in Rapid Transformational Therapy.

One of those is ...

‘It’s not available to me’

But ...

What if it was available to you?

Leaving you with this thought for the weekend as I go off to revisit and journal on my own dreams and desires … as I was gently reminded to do yesterday in a wonderful group I am part of ‘Time Within’ hosted by lovely Aisling ✨💕

Tomorrow’s Quantum Flow activation at Soul Barns is mostly seated.

Please bring a yoga mat if you have one.

We will be using movement, breathwork and meditation to open up your heart to receive.

Would love to see you!

Link to book is in bio. Or message me directly.

Most people choose to do Metabolic Balance® primarily to lose weight.

But rebalancing the body means it can detox, regenerate and repair efficiently so you naturally create more vital health from within.

So we see other benefits like

💚improved body composition & muscle tone

💚 beautiful, radiant, younger looking skin

💚 more vibrant appearance

💚 improved physical & mental performance

💚 increased energy & vitality

If you are interested to know more about Metabolic Balance® and how it can help you to optimise your health and bring your body back into balance I offer a free Discovery Call OR come and join the FREE Facebook Group 'Mind, Body and Metabolic Balance® (links in bio)

NOTE: The Metabolic Balance programme does not replace any possible or ongoing medical conditions or treatments and any concerns should be discussed with your health practitioner/doctor.

With three months to go until I head off to a yoga retreat in the sun - just enough time to fit in my 12 Week Metabolic Balance programme.

It’s been 3 years since I last did the programme and now that I am teaching it again I want to go through it myself and come up with some new recipes and meal ideas.

We tend to eat mostly vegan these days which is not compatible with Metabolic Balance but I can still keep meat/fish to a minimum.

Want to join me?

My aim is to let go of some weight and tone up my metabolism.

I’m looking forward to wearing a couple of dresses that have been feeling a little tight lately 🤣

If you are interested in learning more links are in my bio. And we have the Mind, Body and Metabolic Balance Facebook group too where I will be sharing more regular updates. Link in bio!

METABOLISM & MITOCHONDRIA

Pictures of mitochondria always take me back to my schooldays!

They are the powerhouse of the cell creating energy in the body from the food we eat and the air we breathe.

We have trillions of cells in our bodies and inside all of them (except red blood cells) are hundreds of mitochondria.

As we get older our mitochondria tend to decline. They are sensitive and easily damaged by things like stress, inflammation, smoking, toxins in the diet, processed food and sugar.

When your mitochondria are not working efficiently your metabolism isn’t working efficiently.

The good news is that we know a lot more about the mitochondria now and how to support and improve mitochondrial function and therefore metabolism and health.

We are going to be talking more about mitochondria and metabolism over on my private FB group ‘Mind, Body and Metabolic Balance’ as I am relaunching the Metabolic Balance® programme in my practice in June.

The group is open to all. Link in comments.

Movement, breath-work, sound vibration, meditation, intention.

Come and join us and start the day in flow!!

RTT has helped many people manage and in some cases overcome IBS.

Digestive issues are not only uncomfortable and painful … they are an indication that something is out of balance and needs attention.

When I see clients for a specific health issue I work holistically and often combine therapies.

I call it my Mind Body Food Method.

✨Rapid Transformational Therapy to dig deep into the MIND, the thoughts, patterns and beliefs that are at the root of the issue

✨Quantum Flow to physically move the BODY, clear blocked and stagnant energy and connect with the universal energy

✨Nutrition - seeing where we can support the physical, emotional and mental body with nourishing FOOD and let go of foods that are preventing healing.

Please message me if you would like to know more

So often it’s the small things done every day that make the biggest difference.

I always think that first few minutes after you wake up is such precious time.

Time to prepare your mind and body for the day ahead.

Your body is busy digesting food, repairing and regenerating overnight so morning is a good time to encourage your body to get your elimination systems in flow!

Looking forward to our first activation at Soul Barns tomorrow - repeated on Thursday morning at 8am.

The first activation will be all about

✨tapping into your feminine energy and enjoying the gift of being in the present moment

✨connecting with your body and universal energy all around

✨planting the seed of your intention for today, the week ahead or more

✨grounding in order to rise

✨being more of you 💛

There’s still time to join (link in bio).

Do you remember being in your 20s and thinking that anyone over fifty was really old?

What beliefs must we have created about ageing from that thought?

How have the people in your life aged? What was their story and how might it have influenced you?

When people come to see me they have already made the decision to change, to upgrade their health, release excess weight … but those subconscious patterns and beliefs can sabotage the best intentions and stop you from getting the long term improvement that you desire.

Working with Rapid Transformational Hypnotherapy we dig deep into those beliefs - where, what, when, how and why did you acquire them?

And then we can change those beliefs and rewire in something better.

That story doesn’t have to be your story.

Let’s challenge those old beliefs together and get past those limitations for good!

Experimented for lunch today with whipped cashew cream on my avocado and toast.

I’m not vegan but I do prefer to eat plant based most of the time.

I listen to my body and try to eat intuitively as much as possible.

Even looking through my Qualified Nutritional Therapist lens the food research can sometimes be conflicting.

And we are all different anyway. So I wholeheartedly believe in personalised nutrition. There are tests and programmes that can help.

One of the best I have worked with is Metabolic Balance - for reducing inflammation and releasing extra weight.

Im happy to share more about that if you message me.

My ultimate goal though is to help clients connect back with themselves and listen to their body. I believe this is so important whether they are looking to resolve any aspect of health - mental, physical or emotional.

That’s where the mind and energy work can make a big difference.

Back to the cashew cream though - it was much tastier even than I expected. I made it up as I went along and I don’t know quantities but it included cashews, lemon juice, coconut milk, sea salt, black pepper and a little nutritional yeast.

Very excited to be offering small group Quantum Flow classes at the stunning new Soul Barns in Mortimer Common.

Classes are on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 8am from May 2nd. The perfect time to get into flow for the day!

Link is in my bio.

Do check out the other classes and therapies at .

It’s a fabulous wellness centre with lovely energy and a great variety of classes.

I tried Yoga Barre at the launch on Sunday and my thighs are still reminding me! I loved it.

Also the Sound Bath was amazing.

So much health, happiness and wellness to enjoy.
