😮OMG LOW CARB WORKS!!!😮 Hey cherubs! Here's an update: 7 weeks on and today I bought a Size 8 shirt because my other clothes are too big! Im not actually a size 8, and sure, it's a bigger fit, but 7 weeks ago my size 14 tops were feeling a little too snug. All my bloating and symptoms of IBS have disappeared, I have more energy, sleep more deeply and am generally just happier! And all I had to do was make some simple dietary changes. I'm releasing a PDF download of some of my low carb personally tested and developed recipes. Who wants it? M x

Low carbs, sweetened with Stevia and perfect for that time when you feel like creamy milk chocolate! 2. Recipe testing Turmeric Lattes for my show tomorrow morning!

Just about to go to hair and makeup for tonight's web tv show, Health Bites, so taking a moment to breathe. Tonight we discuss a topic that I know all too well: stress, fatigue and anxiety. 15 years of twice daily anxiety attacks was pretty crippling, but I'm so grateful that there are answers and options! Changing my diet has been a BIG one. Making time to get out of the office and breathe, is another. How do you manage stress, or is your stress managing you? Would love you to join us for tonight's chat with health experts that are here to help you 'own' your health. It's a life changer. ❤ #health #joy #stress #anxiety #peace Watch the show here: http://ift.tt/2y7KVSy

❤#gratitude ❤ I had a facial today with Romina From Argentina! I'm not too proud to admit that I cried all the way there. Not because I knew I was about to get my moustache waxed (I'm not even kidding) but because I'd just got off the phone with someone who had been watching 'Health Bites'- one of the shows I produce and host, and they were telling me what a profound effect the information had made in their life. It had positively affected them and their family and helped this one special soul find their purpose, to become a healer and natural medicine practitioner. I was so humbled by this so I cried with gratitude. Why? As a social broadcaster, I know I'm being a disruptor and, oh my words.... the trolling I've endured!!!! Have you ever been in a position where you've been told to shut up? Felt disempowered because you didn't or couldn't use your voice? Yup, me too. However, I've learnt that my voice and my ability to speak for others, or helping others find confidence in using their own voice is my gift, and it's been my greatest wish that somehow the content I share could reach out and help at least one person feel a little brighter, motivated, inspired or activated, while having a laugh. Today's phone call where I heard the joy, excitement and gratitude in the voice of the person I was speaking with was confirmation that listening to my own inner voice and using my gift to broadcast the message of health and wellness to the world HAS made a difference and for that I'm truly humbled. Listen to YOUR inner voice. It knows the answers. And to that special soul who called me today (you know who you are), thank you for helping me achieve my purpose. ❤ #purpose #health #wellness #joy #gratitude http://ift.tt/2x6jKZa

Grabbing a moment of time for sunshine and a turmeric latte. Been trying out low-carb living over the last few weeks and have finally got a waist, better sleep patterns, more control over my sugar levels (I'm pretty sensitive to it), less stressed, more energy and I've dropped a dress size! Could this be my answer to ending the cycle of the yo-yo diet? After tipping the scales at 110kg in my 20's to finally feeling at home in my own body, I'm on a mission to help people find their own 'home'. The definitive answer, I believe, is that there is no 'one size fits all'. Some people are great with carbs and some aren't. Find what works for you and if you can't find someone to talk to, hit me up. I'm happy to connect you with the right people like Lynette Hill (@spaghill ) from @my_remedy_ And if you want to see more of my journey, watch my daytime show, Wednesdays at 11 a.m. Have a sensational FRIYAY. ❤ #weightloss #lowcarb #health #healthy #naturopath #food #foodie http://ift.tt/2x6ovDz

I'm in the kitchen with my builder mate Deano talking about how to eat well, getting rid of processed food and food hacks that you need to know about, I'm talking about my new fav ingredient - Green Touch Avocado Oil - which has not only helped my cooking, but I've lost weight!!!!!!

I don't often share personal stories involving the other people in my life, but for Father's day, this is a spooky but awesome true story. Back in the day I used to go to Takapuna Market with my assistant and balloon sculpt to earn money. Life was pretty challenging to be honest, but I always tried to look for something happy around me, as a reminder that there was still good in the world. I remember this man standing in the queue with a sweet wee girl who had an adorable little voice and said to my assistant, 'Look at them! Look at their joy! If I could ever be with someone, I hope he would be the kind of man who would have a really lovely relationship with his wee girl - just like those two.' Honestly - the joy between them was ridiculously sweet. I handed her a balloon flower and she looked at the man and said 'Thank you Dada'. Seriously, the cutest thing ever. A couple of years later, Pete and I got together and moved to Takapuna. Walking through the carpark, I commented, 'Wow, I used to stand here in the weekends and balloon sculpt to earn money'. Pete stops in his tracks. 'Did you used to wear green shorts? [YES] And a necklace that looked like lollies? [YES] And did you have an assistant? [YES] I stood in the line and bought Leah a flower from you! She would have been about 4!' I had a MASSIVE matrix moment. Yes, it was them. That moment of joy I had witnessed was real. And a couple of years later, I'm with that man that still has a sweet relationship with his daughter, as well as his 3 awesome sons. To all you Dads, step dads or Mums or caregivers filling the role, I salute you. Happy Fathers Day Pete Ward. X
