I was intrigued if my answers would inform the session drastically or if it was just useful to know in terms of knowing what my body and I have been through.

Everywhere you turn now you will probably see some image, post, or article preaching some New Year New Me BS. And whilst I 100% believe it can be a great thing to finally take charge of your life, go on a journey of growth and learn how to reach your goals; I also appreciate that the majority of the preachers are trying to make money by selling you a promise that they might not be able to keep…

Health is about more than the aesthetics. Healthy can look different from one person to the next. Health incorporates your mind as well as your body; it is about how you fuel yourself, how well you move, how you interact with the world around you and how you deal with all the emotions and stresses life throws your way. If one element of the scale is off, then your overall wellbeing is affected and therefor surely the only way to achieve the title of being in good health, is to have all the scales balanced.
