When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport.

Stress… how many of you like me are sick of hearing the word, “stress”? In fact, it makes me stressed just hearing the word. It’s used as often as you hear the word, “fine” when you’re asked how you are today and you just can’t be bothered to give a well-thought out reply. Or you look at the check-out operator and think, “You don’t really care about the answer to that question, you are only asking me this to be polite!”.

Identifying What’s Right for You 5:19

6 years之前5:19

5:19

There was a highlight that came up for me after our recent pregnancy events—but it’s applicable for everyone! And that is - what works for you, health wise, will be different to what works for everyone else. When discovering what’s best practice for yourself and also your partner, and child, it is important to treat this similarly to how we decide what's best for ourselves when it comes to food. In today's newsletter (AND this episode) we discuss the importance of treating yourself as unique and one of a kind! Our newsletter: http://eepurl.com/gw4BFT…

How to Make an Environmental & Healthy Difference 6:10

6 years之前6:10

6:10

So I thought it was worthwhile to take a moment to think about what we can do? Why? Well for example if you did the 31 day challenge over Christmas you would have learnt how plastics are impacting your health. It's impacting all of us directly or indirectly, via our health or via our environment. It can feel really overwhelming but on the evening show with Miriama ( https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/sundays-miriama-kamo-shares-her-zero-waste-journey ) she shared the 6 r's: Reduce - Reuse - Recycle - Refuse - Replace - Rot Vicky Robertson, Chief Executive and Secretary for the Ministry for the Environment said, "Sometimes it can feel really overwhelming about where to start. I said to my sister on the weekend, this whole zero waste thing feels too hard. And she very rightly said but that's how changing your diet can feel for some people but you would just tell your clients to do one thing. Not do it all over night. That one thing ... whether it's reducing sugar, gluten, dairy, adding in good fats and not snacking in between meals, can have a big impact on your body and health as we all know." I suggest either starting with a re useable coffee cup or taking a look in your fridge or pantry like what we had everyone do in the 31 day Shelley Says So challenge: What are you using to store your ingredients and leftover meals in? Do you use a lot of plastic in your house? Today, I want you to consider your plastic use. Then, if you are up to it, start switching to using glass containers and jars. My favourite is to recycle jars from spreads and to use them to stores nuts and seeds in. If you feel really inspired, go through your whole pantry and make the switch to glass storage containers. Have a look at what sort of containers you are taking your leftover dinner to work in. Remember, if you are heating up food, you don’t want the plastic melting into your food. Glass containers are the BEST. Also for those of you who have already nailed this, as this was in last year's challenge, let's take it to the next step. What are you wrapping your food up in? This year can you make your own or invest in some beeswax wraps. They are amazing and can easily be brought online or from Commonsense Organics. I love mine. Making food wrapping is so easy and now I don't even own any other plastic wraps. BAGS: what sort of bags are using? I have to admit I did like the ease of plastic bags as I was (and sometimes still am) forgetting my re useable bags. I was very lucky to have a client give me some beautiful re useable bags for Christmas. I walk lots, so now I keep one in my bag all the time, otherwise, I tell clients to keep extras in their cars, so they always have one on hand. Also are you bulk bin buyer? Over Christmas I purchased from Good Housekeeping on Cuba Street in Wellington, the cutest re useable bags that you can use for all your bulk bin purchases. They can easily be watched too. We've already talked about hydration, but what bottles are you using? Plastic or glass bottles? Here's another easy swap you can make if you haven't already. Remember it's starting wherever you are at, there is no pressure, just start small than build on this!

How to Manage Overwhelm (with 4 dimensional health) ft. Louise Thompson 15:51

6 years之前15:51

15:51

As you know, health is about so much more than just our diets and movement. Today Louise looks at the emotional component of our health. How many saw an emotional component in your stress beaker (https://youtu.be/Ji0Pj5vw72E)? Many of us can relate to that feeling of being overwhelmed; feeling like we have too much to do and not enough time to do it in. My approach is never to give you more; it’s about doing what you are already doing but making tweaks to it. Louise’s advice is about focusing on the language we are using. And it’s a goodie. You’re really going to enjoy today’s video! As I watched this earlier, I was once again reminded about how important our language is; how easy it is to make changes to how we are feeling. We can totally change our day with the language we use. ============================= 👉Subscribe to my fortnightly newsletter for the complete exercise + much much more at https://shelleygawith.com/ ============================= 👉Sign Up for My Online Course - Finding the Fully Functional You - Be Your Best You!! https://onlinetraining.shelleygawith....…

The Stress Beaker Exercise 5:14

6 years之前5:14

5:14

We often think that we are not in control of our stress or we have to do more to reduce our stress. Sometimes it can feel quite helpless. At about this time of the year this can kick in. ============================= 👉Click here to read the full article: https://mailchi.mp/049e902165e9/stress-beaker ============================= So let’s PAUSE and see what is really going on. 1. First, download your Stress Beaker PDF: https://gallery.mailchimp.com/7f134c1b5f115aa1fa56a3c81/files/93aa1910-2d39-41e6-b79a-9b5bbf361c75/stress_beaker.pdf 2. Start filling it up with all your stressors. You might first of all think of all the external stressors in your life. For example your family, cultural pressure, deadlines, work, bosses, financial challenges, renovations, car repairs you name it. 3. Work out what percentage of your Stress Beaker they take up. 4. Next, write down all your internal ones; it might be an injury, oral health, your gums, your sore tooth, your hair falling out, any symptom you have, lack of energy, stool health, period health, acnes, skin rashes, parasites, fungus, mould, environmental- lights, computers, technology, EMFs. Anything and everything, write it all done. 5. Now, put a percentage around those things as well. 6. You have two options now. You can: (a) do a combination, get a bigger beaker so you don’t feel like you are about to boil over all the time. How do you do this? You do more things that you love in life, you create more joy, more purpose, more fun and connection. More learning! What ever it is that you love. OR, (b) you start to take control of the stressors that you can control. And guess what the great news is? Everything health related/symptom related, you are in control of. You can change this. How awesome is that!!! 7. Now colour in all the ones you can change. Remember when your are suffering from a symptom that’s a huge stress on your body and guess what, you take that internal stress everywhere you go. So your body is in constant stress when you heal that symptom you are getting rid of a whole bunch of internal stress in your life. It’s so EXCITING! What can you do today to change one of your internal symptoms? ================================================== 👉Sign Up for My Online Course - Finding the Fully Functional You - Be Your Best You!! https://onlinetraining.shelleygawith.com/your-best-you FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/shelleygawithfn/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/shelleygawithfn/ www.shelleygawith.com ------------------------…

Open Your Mouth and Say, "Ahhhhhh" - ORAL HEALTH 4:40

6 years之前4:40

4:40

Do You Look After Your Teeth? Do you think about your teeth and oral health when you think about your overall health? Your mouth is your first line of defence against pathogens and bacteria. If your mouth is toxic, it can impact your immune system and drain your energy levels when fighting infections. In clinic when I ask clients if they floss their teeth, the answer is often, “there isn’t enough time”, or “it’s just another thing to do”. Which I get. Sometimes, you just want to get out the door to work or hop into bed. When I was in the States earlier and went to see a biological dentist, they were able to take a sample of my mouth bacteria. I’ve included the video, see all those squiggly lines? You don’t want them. That’s a sign that you have “bad” bacteria in your mouth. The dental nurse reckons that flossing with baking soda for 6 weeks will change this. New bacteria grows every 24 hours so this has to be a crucial start to your oral health regime. I included this step in Shelley Says So last year (PS: if you want to sign up for next year here you go .) Okay, so if you are not flossing then that's the first step. But this year i'm upping the game. I'm obviously not a dentist but I do have a passion for oral health, probably because mine has been so bad. I've had jaw surgery, braces, root canals, crowns and mercury fillings, all of which I wouldn't do again if I could go back in time. Now that I know better, I'm doing everything I can to prevent those things in the future, and now you can too! Here's our new routine (once again, this is what I am now doing, but you can pick parts of it and incorporate as much or as little as you want. You will definitely see health benefits no matter how much you add. If you can help your immune system fight infections by flossing your teeth, you will have more energy to do the things you love doing. Here's this year's eight steps for your morning or evening mouth routine from Nadine Artemis , check her out if you want to learn more about leaky gums and all about our mouth microbiome. Step 1: A salt or baking soda rinse before you brush your teeth, you can even add an essential oil to this as well. This gets the mouth into a more alkaline state which is what you want before you brush. Step 2: Scrape your tongue. Step 3: Brush your gums. Make sure you brush gum down, it's more stimulating for the gums. Step 4: Polish your teeth. Use baking soda, essential oils and maybe a botanical serum to do this. Step 5: Flossing!! Yay!! You want to floss at least twice each time so you get everything out. BUT make sure you are not using a floss with chemicals. But remember to get right to the back, the last tooth on each side, you need to get that gum part!!! (don’t make the mistake I’ve been making for years.) Step 6: You use a ribbed rubber tool to go along the gum line to get all the plaque. Step 7: The next step is massaging your gums. You want to take a botanical serum or an ozonated gel and massage that into the gums. Step 8: Pay attention to any special area that needs some TLC Side note: Remember, the whiteness of our teeth is a reflection of our health on the inside of our bodies. Did You Take Time To Floss Today?…

All About the "F" Word! (Fats) 4:19

6 years之前4:19

4:19

Are you making sure that you have a good quality source of fat at every single meal? When talking at Z Energy during the week, some of the questions around this topic reminded me that we all need to know what we want - good sources of fats. Also, who still holds the old thoughts of "if you eat good quality fats, you will get fat"? All of you who see us in clinic now know that this isn’t true at all. Instead, you end up eating less when eating good quality fats. Marlies reminds us of some of the reasons why we need good quality sources of dietary fats: Every single cell in our bodies is made from fat. The surrounding of the cell is made up of cholesterol. Where do we get cholesterol from? Yes, our bodies naturally make it, but we also need good quality fats for it. It’s the best source of energy. Our bodies run off fat. As I shared at Z Energy this week, the fastest way to getting better energy is eating good quality sources of fats. Dietary sources of fats bring down inflammation in our bodies. Our hormones run off good quality fats. Do you want easier periods? Eat more good quality sources of fats. All steroid hormones are made up from cholesterol, specifically LDL cholesterol (aka “bad” cholesterol). Pregnenolone, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, DHEA are all steroid hormones! Pretty important, right? Remember, our brains are also 70% fat!!! We need good quality sources of fats to feed our brains. In the online course Finding the Fully Functional You we have gone deeper and started talking about the quality of fats that we are using to cook in. This is really important. The best fats to cook in are ghee and coconut oil. Who cooks in butter? Especially when making sweeter things right? Well Marlies has clearly explained why you don’t want to cook in butter. So butter has a low cooking point, then it turns brown so the structure changes because butter has milk solids and sugar so it turns toxic. Have you heard that Avocado oil is great for cooking in? However, it is an omega 9 and monounsaturated, so also an unstable source for cooking. It will turn toxic. If you want to cook in olive oil then, the Danes Sautéing is preferable. Also, just something for you to ponder: it’s actually really hard to get enough fish into your diet. How many servings of fish do you have a week? This could be something to focus on as I know most people we see in clinic aren’t eating enough fish. The other problem is getting good quality fish as well. You want to make sure it’s fresh and not farmed, and not fed grains. As much as I don’t like saying, we need to supplement with things. Sometimes when nature can’t provide it the way we need it due to demand and the environment, you might need to supplement with it. I personally do supplement with fish oils, but remember, you always want to keep everything in balance. So it’s worth testing it as your body does change. You always want a balance of omega 3, 6 and 9. Can’t wait to see your latest fish recipes and photos posted on our Facebook page!…

Weight, What? Is Your Body Trying To Tell You Something? 3:50

I love this time of the year, everything is getting very festive. I love all the Christmas lights and traditions. It makes me so happy, that smell of a real live Christmas tree. Such a fun time. But as we move into the holidays and even begin to think about the new year, often what comes to mind for clients is their weight. Suddenly, come 1 January, everyone wants to shed some Kilos. Now that is fine if your kilos are a direct result of eating extra things during the festive season...BUTTT if that’s not the case, then your weight is letting you know something is out of balance. Are you up for a challenge? Our Shelley Says So 31-Day Challenge is back in January! https://shelleygawith.com/Shelley-says-so-2019/…

Male Fertility: It Takes Two, Baby! 4:20

6 years之前4:20

4:20

It takes two to have a baby; two people who are in good health. It’s not just the women in your lives, men. Don’t get me wrong, it’s really helpful if the lady is in optimal health as she is carrying this precious bundle of joy for nine months as she will be feeding this baby of her nutrients during this time. But pre-conception takes two healthy adults. I have been ranting and raving about the male's role in fertility in clinic to any female that tells me she wants to get pregnant in the foreseeable future. I jump right in and ask them, “Well, how healthy is your partner and what are they doing for their health?” I guess it’s a great marketing tactic and maybe I should change my specialty to couples’ health as I’m lucky enough get a lot of women coming into clinic wanting to get pregnant. Research shows that 30 to 50 percent? of fertility challenges are related to the male partner, it’s rarely talked about what men can do to improve their fertility health. A fun fact for all the males in your lives and for all my male clients: Every time you ejaculate you lose these nutrients: • Zinc- have you done the taste test lately. Can you taste it? • Selenium • Copper As a side note: testosterone, serotonin, acetylcholine and dopamine are also lowered, prolactin is raised after ejaculation.? So, first thing is we want to make sure that males are getting these key nutrients back into their diets and that they are able to digest them. We also want to ensure that their hormones are also balanced, that they are not hiding toxicity in their bodies (especially in their guts, or heavy metals in their fatty tissues) and that they are not sympathetic dominant. The key thing is, you always want to get information about both partners and look at both partners’ health, it’s not just one person! While I love all the women that come in wanting to be in their best health before they have children, we also want the dads in their best health too. Happy baby making!…

Help! My Hair is Falling Out! 4:53

6 years之前4:53

4:53

Is your hair falling out? Have you noticed more coming out than usual when you brush it or having a shower? (It’s normal to lose about 100 hairs a day, and most of us worry about our dogs moulting all over us - I think we are doing it to ourselves!) Also, if you have just given birth, did you know you can expect to lose more hair than normal? Our bodies are really good at talking to us, they always let us know when something is out of balance and more than normal hair loss is just another sign that something is out of balance. There are key nutrients that our bodies need for good hair: • Iron • Zinc • Selenium • MSM- Sulfur • Protein • Good quality fats • Vitamin A • Vitamin C (stops split ends) Hair loss could also be a sign that you are overly stressed, or that your hormones are out of balance. It can also be a sign that you are toxic with something in your body or your thyroid might be out of balance and could need additional support. So please listen, please let us know what is happening in your body, big or small. We are here to help you and get to the bottom of what is out of balance in your body.

WAKE UP! 4:45

6 years之前4:45

4:45

Here's a few questions for you: How did you get to work this morning? How did you end up sitting at your computer? Did you consciously open this email, or was it on auto pilot that you just clicked on it? Will you watch the video below while looking at your phone, emailing someone, talking to a college and racing through everything that you have on for the day? When Emily Mason came and did a couple of events for clients, one statistic that shocked me was how much time we spend doing things unconsciously. Are you like me and you’ve had that experience of driving somewhere, but not actually knowing how you got there? And when you look back, you realise you just did it on autopilot, or you find yourself slamming on breaks because you tuned out for a second or two! I have to admit, I can definitely own up and say my autopilot might have been switched on a few times with my early morning yoga class. We can kind of justify these things as being normal, but when Emily told us we spend 50% of our lives being unconscious, doing life unconsciously, that seems like such a waste. You only need to look down Lambton Quay at lunch time and most people are on their phones looking down. I can be walking to work, missing the sounds, the smells, the colour of the sky or the people walking past, I can be barely conscious of the feel of my clothes as I walk along the street. I want to be present with my life and really get the most out of it. I don’t want to get to the end of each day, crossing things off my to-do list while rushing unconsciously from one thing to the next, never really getting the joy from each experience and relationship that I’m lucky enough to encounter. What about you? Are you ready to be more present and make the most of every day? If so, take a minute and purposely watch the video below. What will your action be? The problem with this newsletter is that it’s too easy to say, “Yeah, I want to live my life differently, or I want to be conscious and present in my life more than just 50% of the time.” This actually takes conscious practice and a decision to really want to. I invite you today to share with us on Facebook what small action you are going to pick to be more conscious with. Let's be accountable together (and supportive - together). Will it be: brushing your teeth, the way you washing the dishes, how you chew your food? Do you even notice what you are eating at dinner? Or will you decide to come home each evening and turn off your phone and be conscious with your loved ones or yourself? Maybe you will do a conscious body scan throughout the day so you can be more mindful of what your body needs. What will you do? Can’t wait to hear what you are picking.

Modern Toxicity: Does Your Liver Need Help? 4:38

What's a new habit or ritual you can incorporate into your life to detoxify your body? http://onlinetraining.shelleygawith.com/your-best-you Did you know that your liver is responsible for clearing out all the toxins in your body? Our livers are powerhouses and most of us don’t even realise it. While I don’t like to alarm clients, friends and family about the state of our environment these days, I’m sure all of us are already aware of how much more we’re being exposed to toxins, pollution, chemicals, synthetic substances, prescription drugs, and mould . There are ways to help our livers out. For instance, I'm trying a delicious new detox tea from @LibertineTeas. It's called Exhale and it's a simply a wonderful way to detoxify your liver on a daily basis. I was honoured to be asked to guest post for Libertine blends about "The Truth About Detox", so I wanted to share it here as well if you’ve missed it. Guess what? They have also gifted us two of their new Exhale Detox Tea tea to give a…
