I treat high heels like champagne whiskey and chocolate.

For occasional use at parties 😉

Recharging……. Rebooting………… nothing clears my mind like being out with my dog in the Sun ☀️

A difficult funeral on Monday, very sad times for the Vallance family. Sometimes you just gotta get out in the sunshine and make the most of life.

I laughed to myself today, trudging around in the mud in my trainers with holes in because they’re the most comfortable ones for my feet. My Instagram is definitely not AI generated. 😂😂

‘Do things wholeheartedly, because to skip effort would be to break a commitment and breaking commitments led to failure’

Enjoyed a quiet Saturday afternoon reading this ♥️

Point 2: Most people eat rubbish and think it doesn’t matter. The quality of your healing is not going to be good if the fuel is rubbish.

🌍Food is fuel, food is nutrition, food is culture. We are the only species on planet Earth that has turned eating into a minefield.

🍭As a culture, ‘the health conscious’ have been taught to demonise whole food groups whilst turning a blind eye to children sitting on screens drinking Coca-Cola and eating Haribo.

👩‍⚕️In my years of practice, I have seen everything. I have seen people guzzling booze, shovelling in crisps and takeaways in to their mouths on a regular basis, come into the clinic with all the problems associated with obesity.

☠️On the other hand, I have seen women (and men) starving themselves, malnourished because celebrity culture told them not to eat fat, carbohydrates or sugar, having developed huge anxiety around food, followed by consequences of undernourishment.

🧑‍🧒‍🧒I see hard-working families feeding their children processed food from a food bank. Simultaneously, I see the ‘wellness elite brigade’ discussing whether the coffee or Matcha is worse for you. 😢

🧀When did we become a culture of people who fear eating fresh, local bread, cheese, and wine like the French? When did we rather opt for ultra-processed packaged food with a wrapper that tells you it’s low carb and low fat, brimming with chemicals, additives, and microplastics?

🍷🍴Your body needs fuel and nutrition to function, and your mind and soul need nature and connection that comes from sitting around a dinner table.

🌍The environment and society need locally produced, well-farmed food. British farming and food culture run through my blood, and it’s probably the thing I am most passionate about.🚜

😢Nobody wins by being overfed, undernourished, and full of chemicals.

Rant over!

I’ll post some nice photos of spaniels and cats to keep the mood light.

Thank you for following me.
Love, Esther ♥️

Most people don’t exercise enough and make poor excuses for it.

I said what I said (with the exception of people who have a medical conditions which prevent exercise).

The human body is capable of huge amounts of exercise. Research shows that a sedentary lifestyle has a greater risk of mortality than smoking (I’m not telling you to smoke!).

When the people who live in blue zones have been studied, they are the ones walking up hills, steps and gardening.

I am not exempt from being lazy myself. Having always had dogs and/or horses for many years, my step count averaged 12 to 20,000 steps per day. When all the dogs died, my average step count went to 6,000 per day. When we got Copper, my step count has risen back to 12,000 average per day.

I made excuses about working in the clinic and being busy, but the fact of the matter is I was being lazy and I got fat (who is going to get up at 6 a.m. to trudge around in the dark, wet, cold weather without a spaniel looking at you? - Not me).

Modern lifestyles are not set up to facilitate movement; you have to put yourself out for it. I have changed my working hours so that on at least five days a week I can get outdoors to walk for an hour in daylight.

Movement is medicine.

10 things I would tell you if I wasn’t afraid of hurting your feelings, based on my experience of working in health care since 2003.

1. Most people don’t do enough exercise and make poor excuses for it. I said what I said.

2. Most people eat s**t and I think it doesn’t matter. The quality of your healing is not going to be good if the fuel is rubbish.

3. Most people underestimate the importance of
sleep and recovery time.

4. It’s rare that I see an injury that is caused by someone else (occasional/ rare/ impact trauma). The more quickly you take responsibility, the more quickly you will recover and move on.

5. Most people hugely underestimate how long recovery from injury/ surgery takes.

6. So many people think they are the exception to the rule they think the rules don’t apply to them. The laws of biology apply to everyone.

7. Most people think that ‘things’ are more important than they are. They can’t possibly miss a match or race or a day at work to recover from an injury.

I have seen so many people instantly replaced and forgotten when they are unwell / seriously injured/ dead. Make health your priority.

8. Chronic pain and chronic problems are not going to be fixed or cured by one session with Physio.

9. Ice plunges, infrared saunas, red light therapy, massage guns, vibration plates are not going to make the blind bit of difference if you have not got the basics sorted.

10. You might not like medication, but sometimes it’s really helpful and we are privileged to have access to free healthcare.

The wellness industry is worth billions more than the pharmaceutical industry (said as somebody who will avoid taking medication at all costs).
