A few people have been asking how long I have been into Fitness ❤ I remember accompanying my Mum to her aerobics classes when I was about 10 yrs old and soon after that, I started accompanying her to lift weights in the gym as well. We became workout buddies from when I was quite young and it was always something I looked forward to. Funny enough, it was actually a trainer in the gym that noticed my scoliosis while doing a particular exercise.

My mum has been a huge influence in my life when it came to Health and Fitness. Years later we started to do Zumba together also and soon after that I got certified in Zumba and then Zumba Strong 💪 My mum has always tried to encourage healthy eating in our household, even more so when my father had to have triple bypass surgery when I was 14 yrs old, because he inherited high cholesterol in his family. I also remember having to wear a back brace when I was 15 yrs old for my scoliosis as I have a 30 degree curvature, and had to do quite a bit of physical therapy from a young age. At around 24 yrs old, I got diagnosed with PCOS, something I still try to manage with exercise and a healthy diet. All these different factors I would say got me into exercising from a young age and trying to life an overall healthy lifestyle.

It has been over 20 yrs that I have been on my own personal health and fitness journey, and there is so much more to learn and experience as a fitness professional. Looking forward 💕💪

I love this! I always say that your kids should eat what you eat. As your kids get older, let them choose foods and plan meals with you. The more involved they are, the more likely they will be to experiment with various food and flavors. Growing bodies need a healthy balance of nutrient-dense foods.

👍 Yup

And recent studies have shown that diet can have a profound impact on mental health conditions ranging from ADHD to depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, OCD, dementia, and beyond.⁣

In a recent mini-episode, I spoke with, nutritional psychiatrist, Dr. Uma Naidoo about how one of the most common food offenders she sees with her patients is gluten. And I also spoke with Maggie Ward to discuss why gluten sensitivity and intolerance has been on the rise in recent decades, and how to determine if it is a problem for you.⁣
