Grateful to be featured again by .my in this month’s edition of Expat Magazine Malaysia 🙏

While nutrition plans, workouts, coaches, and biohacks often dominate the health conversation, the most important foundation of robust health is something far less discussed: Mindset 🧠

It doesn’t matter how advanced the diet plan is, how well designed the training programme is, or how good the coach is… if the person receiving that guidance doesn’t have the mindset to embrace it, embody it, and follow through.

Too often we focus on giving people the plan, without considering the mind that must perceive that plan, accept it as part of their identity, and turn it into consistent action.

Because when the initial excitement fades, the motivation dips, and life gets busy, your mindset is what will establish the habits and identity of someone who prioritises good health 💪

This month’s edition of Expat has a strong focus on health, and my article (pages 38/39) explores the deeper psychological foundation that determines whether health strategies succeed or fail.

If you’re serious about building lasting health, resilience, and vitality, I invite you to read the article and reflect on whether the most important foundation of your health is truly in place.

Let me know what you think and thanks for taking a few minutes to read it 🙏

Thankyou to .size.buzzkl 🙏

Week No 13 of the 2026 Metabolic Micro-Habit is all about reframing stress.

Ongoing stress can wreak havoc on our metabolic health. From blood sugar to visceral fat, and all the unhelpful behaviours we engage in to try and self regulate, stress is often the elephant in the metabolic room!

Did you know that approx 70-90 % of modern stress is triggered by thoughts, worries and anticipation of future events!

Stuff that hasn’t, and may never happen!

That means that we are literally choosing the majority of what stresses us out!

This weeks micro-habit is a good opportunity to bring a bit of awareness to the often mindless metabolic storm we create by getting our knickers in a twist for no valid reason 😂

Fitness facilities have become extremely good at delivering workouts.

But many gyms are still facing the same two challenges:

Member retention and consistent results.

A major reason is due to the health challenges that todays members face.

In Malaysia, ~20% of adults aged 20–40 are already pre-diabetic, and many more are dealing with early metabolic dysfunction — unstable energy, poor sleep, chronic stress, and blood sugar dysregulation.

These problems can’t be solved by workouts alone.

They require structure, education, accountability, and measurable progress.

This is where gyms have a unique opportunity.

Fitness facilities are perfectly positioned to become the frontline infrastructure for improving metabolic health, helping members achieve the outcomes they originally joined for.

The Metabolic Health Reset was designed to support this shift.

It allows gyms to deliver structured metabolic health systems with very little operational uplift, while creating a powerful opportunity to:

• Stand out in a crowded market
• Attract a new demographic seeking real health solutions
• Increase retention and member lifetime value

Most members don’t stay for workouts, they stay for results.

If you run a gym or fitness facility and are interested in exploring how the Metabolic Health Reset can integrate into your business model, feel free to message me or comment “RESET.”

Many gyms don’t have a lead problem, they have a results and retention problem.

Industry data suggests ~50% of members cancel within 3–6 months.

Not because they don’t want to train, but because they don’t see meaningful results, they don’t feel part of a community, and don’t have enough accountability.

Meanwhile, a massive opportunity is emerging worldwide, and particularly here in Malaysia:

• 1 in 7 people has Type 2 diabetes
• ~26% of young adults are prediabetic
• ~35.9% of adults have metabolic syndrome

Millions of people don’t just need gym access, they need guidance, structure and measurable health outcomes.

This is where the Metabolic Health Reset comes in.

A plug-and-play system designed to help gyms deliver:

✔ better member results
✔ stronger retention
✔ a new premium revenue stream
✔ real health impact

Gyms that understand this shift will lead the next era of the industry.

Those that don’t will continue competing on price, promotions, and ‘fly by night’ trends.

This isn’t another fitness programme, It’s infrastructure for the next era of the fitness industry.

If you’re an owner, CEO, COO or operator of a gym chain, franchise or premium health club, and you want to see how this works…

Our metabolism doesn’t just respond to what we eat, it also responds to when we sleep.

One of the most powerful habits for energy, hormone balance and metabolic health is consistent sleep timing.

Going to bed and waking at the same time each day strengthens our internal body clock, which improves sleep quality, stabilises blood sugar, and supports hormones that regulate appetite, recovery and energy.

This weeks metabolic Micro-habit is card 36….

Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, including the weekend.

Aim to be asleep by 10:30pm when the body’s night-time repair systems and growth hormone release are at their peak.

Heard of the dirty dozen?🤔

This term is used to describe fruits highest in pesticide residues

Berries have thin skins, are often heavily sprayed, and eaten with skins on.

Soaking them in a cup of water for 10 mins with a teaspoon of baking soda helps to break down pesticide residues on the skin and gives them a good clean.

Used wisely, baking soda can also help reduce indigestion and gastric reflux!

Berries are one of the most metabolically healthy fruits, but it’s always a good idea to give them a bath before eating 🫐🍓

Our 11th weekly Metabolic Micro habit of 2026 is a simple nervous system regulator and mindfulness exercise that will benefit us all.

It’s easy to take the process of breathing foregranted, but it’s surprising how many people actually struggle to breathe well and use the diaphragm properly! 🫁

At rest, a good inhale should contract the diaphragm and push the stomach out. 🧘🏽

When we use the diaphragm we promote better ‘rest & digest’. 😴

Doing this simple challenge will bring awareness to the quality of our breath, the state of our nervous system and the tension that we often carry but fail to recognise until it becomes a headache, jaw pain, an outburst or something worse!

This simple reset will keep you in tune with the whispers so that you don’t have to hear the screams! 👂

There is no drug or supplement that can provide the health benefits of fasting- FACT!

The magic of fasting begins when we deplete our glucose reserves and enter ketosis.

To flick this metabolic switch quicker, exercising in the fasted state can induce ketosis several hours before fasting without exercise.

‼️We are hybrid engines, we are designed to run on fat as well as sugar. The human brain loves ketosis and thrives on ketones 🧠

3 other benefits ( I experience)

🚀 At 16 hrs into a water fast, my exercise performance is better.

⬆️ Mental clarity is higher, post exercise

⬇️Appetite is suppressed post exercise

My ‘faster fasting’ protocol is:

Day1- Early low carb dinner (approx 5pm),
Day2- Morning black coffee (promote fat burning)
- Morning workout
(steady state cardio or moderate intensity intervals for minimum of 30mins)
- Hydrate well throughout the day ( with added electrolytes)
Day 3- Break fast with low carb brekkie or carry on fasting depending how I feel.

If I want a deep clean as well as greater metabolic flexibility, I’ll do 48-72 hrs so that I get more benefit from autophagy, which increases the longer we fast.

Fasting is the ultimate expression of self-control and, we gain the strength of the temptation we resist 💪

I just tested my Omega-3 levels… and the result surprised me.

Despite being very diligent with my diet, my Omega-6:3 ratio came back at 6:1, higher than I’d like! ☹️

Most modern diets sit closer to 15–20:1, driven by vegetable oils, ultra-processed foods, and frequent take away and restaurant meals.🤢

This imbalance can quietly drive systemic inflammation, which is strongly linked to conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, arthritis, depression, and cognitive decline. ⛑️

The take home…..

You can’t optimise what you don‘t measure, and if you’re not assessing, you’re guessing!

Testing your Omega-3 balance is one of the simplest ways to understand your inflammatory risk, and improve long-term metabolic health.

If you’d like to:
• Test your Omega-3 balance
• Improve your metabolic health
• Or learn more about the Metabolic Health Reset (MHR)

Send me a message or comment “OMEGA”.

Thank you to for the omega balance test 🙏

‘The unexamined life is not worth living’. Socrates

Once again I am late to the party for this weeks metabolic Micro-habit, however on a positive note it’s given us a few more days to embody some of our most positive beliefs about ourselves (last weeks card)

I made a commitment to do this every week for a year, and also not to beat myself up if I am a few days late here and there.

I am practicing 2 of the most important ingredients for growth and happiness- commitment and self-compassion.

This week I have chosen card no 16, which is a challenge to try something new!

This Is a great opportunity to break procrastination and move outside of your comfort zone.

I’d love to know what physical activity you choose to try. 🙏

Pain isn’t always a signal to stop, and hand our body over to a pharmacy.

Often, it’s a signal that your body needs strength, more movement, and attention. 💪

In over 10 years working as an osteopath, I’ve seen how quickly fear of pain can turn into avoidance, weakness, disability , and loss of confidence in our bodies.😱

But when you learn to understand what your body is asking for, pain becomes an ally. 😊

The Metabolic Health Reset is designed to help you reconnect with your body’s signals, through movement, nutrition and stress regulation, so you can rebuild strength, resilience, and trust in your body again.

If you’re waiting for pain to disappear before you start challenging yourself
you might be missing the message.

Learn to hear the whispers before the body has to scream.

Caring for others starts with filling our own cup.

So many people, especially mothers find it easier to give their time, energy and care to everyone else, while putting their own wellbeing last.

When you take care of your health, you’re not taking away from others.

You’re becoming a stronger, calmer, more energised version of yourself for the people who need you most.

Self-care, or being ‘of self’ isn’t selfish, It’s the foundation of how we show up for others. 💪

The Metabolic Health Reset focuses on our mindset to help reframe self care as the greatest act of selflessness we can engage in 🙏

If you want to give more to yourself, and become more effective for others, join me for a reset.
