Back On Track

Why should you listen to us?

Have we always had our health and weight under control?

Absolutely not. We’ve been working in the health field for many years, and when we started we were doing what everyone else was doing - we were focusing on what to eat, and how to exercise.

We quickly realised however that what we were teaching was not enough - because we generally all know roughly what to do. We all know that if we cut back on processed snacks and treats, eat more healthy foods and up our vegetables and do more exercise then we’ll improve our health and weight.

The problem however is that knowing what to do and actually doing it are very different.

We know this first hand. My husband Alex and co-founder of Fresh Start grew up as an overweight kid and struggled with his weight for many years. He then became a personal trainer and even then he struggled. He would always be focusing on what to eat and doing lots of hard exercise workouts - but he also battled emotional eating. He would come home exhausted from work and then binge eat on certain foods even though he certainly knew it wasn’t the ‘healthy’ thing to do. He’d then punish himself with lots of exercise to try and make up for his overeating. And then he’d be exhausted and start all over again. His body was breaking down and he was a mess.

This is when we both started getting into holistic health. Alex did a Masters of Health and Nutrition Education and as well as really learning about the importance of nutrient-dense wholefoods, he really learned about the power of balancing your exercise routine with your stress levels and the importance of good sleep and stress reduction and how this is fundamental for controlling your appetite, weight and health.

What really made the difference though was when we both studied coaching - and we learned about the power of the right mindset.

We learned about the importance of goal setting and planning.

We learned about how many of our behaviours, including eating, are linked to us trying to meet some basic human needs such as our need to feel safety or comfort, our need to have some variety and to avoid boredom and our need to connect with ourselves and others and how to meet those needs in more resourceful ways that don’t involve food.

We learned about how to break unsupportive habits and how to create healthy daily habits and we learned most importantly about the power of limiting beliefs and how to change our beliefs so that they are more supportive of our success.  

It doesn’t matter if you know you should be exercising more and eating more healthy foods if you’re exhausted because you’ve got kids to look after, or a super busy career or both, or when you’ve got powerful cravings and destructive habits that are stopping you from making the right choices.

It doesn’t matter if you know what to do if deep down you have a belief that you’re lazy or you don’t have time or that it's selfish to look after yourself or make time for yourself or that you have a slow metabolism or that you’re not worthy of good health. 

We learned that the actual mechanics of getting healthy - what to eat and how to exercise are only about 20% of the equation. It’s the mindset that’s the 80% and when you focus on that, then that’s when you get the results. We both focus on this and we’ve seen our health transform.

We’re both in our 50's and we’re in great health for our age and, when you work on the mindset first, it’s really easy compared to the way it used to be.

This is especially true if you’ve had weight loss surgery.
