Carolyn Phillips-Health and Nutritional Coach

It is so important to know what you are feeding your body. Herbal remedies can be a great addition to your diet to give your body back what it needs, but without the proper knowledge of what doses and herbs you should be taking, it can be detrimental to your health.

Fad diets and quick fixes do not work. Weight loss and better health take time and require motivation and discipline to achieve your desired result.

A health coach is trained to look at every aspect of your diet, including eating habits, health problems and medical history to ensure a plan is built specifically for you and minimise the risk of damage done to your body by unnecessary supplements recommended in 'general' diets. We look closely at your diet to see what is missing and recommend the best possible ways to give you what your body is lacking.

I will gladly answer any questions you have regarding a new diet or supplements you are taking. If you have any concerns about where to start to begin your lifestyle change please do get in contact.

I wish you a happy and healthy new year!

The New Food Pyramid 2016 Last week saw the launch of Ireland’s latest Healthy Food for Life Food Pyramid. This new model brings us closer to the Harvard Pyramid model, designed to make you eat healthier and provide advice on how to balance your diet. We asked our Director and founder, Richard

Cancer cells survive on sugar and in highly acidic environments which is caused by a diet of poor quality processed meats and increased intake of sugary snacks. There are many hidden sugars in a lot of the processed foods that we purchase which highlights the need for the ability to read and interpret nutritional labels and awareness of what we are feeding our bodies.
In a generation of convenience, busy lifestyles and video games, obesity is on the increase resulting in a large amount of illnesses including cancer, diabetes and cardiac problems.
A healthy balanced diet mixed with physical activity 4-5 times a week will reduce the risk of cancer and will aid in healing if you ever find yourself or someone you love in these unfortunate circumstances.
"Our findings highlight a very compelling and urgent need for dietary changes in this country" - Eilish O'Regan, Health Correspondent.

It's almost that time of year again where children get to dress in their favourite costumes and go door to door in search of candy. It is important to know that the recommended daily allowance of sugar for children is no more than 25grams a day. A single packet of starburst contains 35grams of sugar or more. You can only imagine how much sugar children will consume at Halloween time! Although it seems harmless at the time, consuming large amounts of sugar can lead to dietary problems such as diabetes, low immunity and obesity. This year why not make some changes and teach children that healthy snacks aren't always boring and tasteless? (You don't need broccoli for this one 😉) make some tasty treats as a healthy alternative. The kids will have great fun in the kitchen and you can have peace of mind that they're consuming the best possible alternative for a healthy body. ☺️

A very interesting read. I hear a lot from clients that they are doing plenty of exercise but not getting the results they are expecting. The 80/20 ratio is one of the best guidelines to follow. You can't outrun a bad diet as much as you try. You can lose weight through diet alone but the chances of losing the weight through exercise alone without changing the eating habits are very low.
