Welcome to the October newsletter. This month we'll be sharing with you why most diets just don't work long term, and you end up fatter than when you started. We'll show you one way to check your leg length at home yourself which might be a source of your back pain, and we'll give some suggestions on how you can be the same nice person, every day of the month.
We've also updated our website. You will find our healing pathways laid out and explained for you, so you when you come to see us, you'll always know what will happen next.
Don't miss this month's special offer at the bottom.
Love and blessings,
Liz & Paul Smalley

Why other diets fail .
We have a weight loss healing pathway that can help you to lose up to 2 kg of fat a week, whilst preserving muscle mass. Most calorie restricted diets produce disappointing results mainly due to the excessive loss of muscle mass. This loss of muscle mass reduces your metabolic rate (ability to burn calories) and increases your likelihood of putting the fat back on (yo-yo dieting). Losing muscle mass and reducing your metabolic rate tends to create a viscious cycle of fat gain which causes hormonal and metabolic abnormalities that eventually promote further fat gain. We help you avoid these damaging effects of dieting with a healing pathway to help you get the lasting result you want.
You can track your fat loss, muscle mass and quality and metabolic rate, as well as your true biological age, by having a bio-impedence analysis.
"I've lost 9 kg of fat and gained 3 kg of muscle. I'm 7 years younger too! I've got so much more energy." Jacky |
Soothing the Spine
About 80% of people have legs that are differnt lengths. This means your hips are slightly out and then your spine is also slightly out. To try to even things up, you might unconciously slightly tilt your head and end up with a sore neck as well.
This is where Dorn Spinal therapy can help. It's a very gentle treatment and we can usually get your legs the same length without any pain, cracking or crunching, in less than 5 minutes. Once your legs are the same, your hips reposition themselves and then we can get to work on your spine, gently persuading the vertebrae back into their rightful position.
Here's one test you can do at home yourself. Lay on your back on the floor and lift your knees up at right angles to your back. Let your feet dangle withyour knees together. You'll be able to see your knees at different heights. We can help fix that, so if this is you, give us a call. See below for a special offer.
"I haven't been able to sleep for the last 2 years because my arm and shoulder has been so painful, constantly waking me up. Even after the first visit I was so much better. The pain was gone. We've moved to York now, and even though it takes us over an hour to get there, we still come to see Liz. I tell everyone if they're in pain, see Liz." Kathleen
"I used to have a build up on my shoe of about an inch. After seeing Liz, and getting my legs the same length, I had to take my shoe down the shed, and cut the build up off. I didn't need it anymore." Ron |
| Women's Health - Snappy, teary, bloated? How would you like to be the same person every day of the month?
In Australia about 70% of women experience PMS at some point in their life. You might experience breast soreness, food cravings, increased appetite, fluid retention, moodiness, poor concentration, irregular perids, shoulder and neck pain, painful periods, prologed bleeding, lower back pain, exhaustion after a period, skin break outs and headaches. PMS is a condition that can easily be treated with herbs and nutrients. Although it's common, you don't have to put up with this.
Creating a balnced monthly cycle can be achieved with some simple lifestyle and diet changes and by using natural medicines that help get your cycle into balance, and keep it in balance.
As well as some natural supplements here are some lifestyle changesthat may help:
Avoid alcohol, salt, chocolate, saturated fats, sugars and caffine.
Eat a diet high in fruit, vegetables, essential fatty acids and lean protein, antioxidants and magnesium.
Eliminate foods that contribute to hormone imbalance like non-organic poultry, dairy, sugar, white flour and refined food.
Increase the fibre in your diet.
Use some stress management techniques like yoga, meditation and exercise.
If you want to control your hormones instead of letting them control you, give us a call and we'll support you through the Healing Pathway for Hormonal Balance.
