Guest Feedback... "On the last Wellness Day that I attended we were given a timetable of events throughout the day. There was an exercise section, but dont be put off if you're a stranger to exercise! Jody catered for chair based & floor based exercise. Included in our day were drinks & shakes, a  face pack... with face cloths available to wash it off. There was a mindfulness part too. For those who wanted to after the indoor session had concluded, their was an opportunity to get out in the fresh air for a planned walk which took about an hour. Make sure to dress weather appropriate seeing as it can be temperamental around Derbados!" Helen AW, Derby.

12. What nutritional information will I be given? The food and drinks provided will all be nutrient dense and show you how you can enjoy a day of food that nourishes your body and mind with all the nutrients it needs. Plus in the goodie bags we provide has a meal plan if you need guidance. I am also available to provide 1:1 coaching outside the days if you require more support. I also coach people through a full meal replacement shakes plan, details are in the goodie bags. 

13. How will the day help me sleep better? The food and drinks provided chemically help stay balanced, plus the physical activities help your body relax and want to rest and recover at night. Mentally focusing on your breathing and inner feelings also help you stop worry about any stress or issues you may have in your life.

14. How will the day help me achieve my goals? Practically we will do all the things involved in a daily healthy lifestyle. Mentally I provide accountability trackers to help you keep on track. I’m also available for 1:1 coaching outside the days if you need someone to regularly check in with you.

15. Do you have an example of the dance fitness class? Yes…

16. Why might we need electrolyte suppliments? To keep our body in balance to help us absorb water and stay hydrated. They can also help you drink water if you don't like plain water.

17. What’s in the protein shakes? This is the > brand with the ingredients list.

18. Why do you recommend protein shakes? Although they are processed food, I believe the benefits out weight the negatives and for the short term (a few years) or occasionally long term, they help me and my clients achieve our health and wellness goals.

19. Why huel? I’ve tested every shake on the market, and in balance these are the best for convenience, quality, taste, cost and nutrients. Plus they have the most fibre of all the shakes in the UK. They do contain grains and seed oils, but again, apart from this they are nutritionally complete and don't contain soy or artifical sweeteners like most of the others on the market.

20. Do you have any example of the seated stretch? Yes...

21. Why do you recommend the savory meals that are not low carb? Although nutritionally the shakes are low carbs and contain more beneficial nutrients, many people want something savory and warm in the winter, but with the same convenience as shakes, this is where occasional savory meals can be very useful to help you stick to your health plan.

22. Why is CBD helpful? Many of my clients use this “Medical cannabis” product to help them with aches and pains from arthritis, fibromyalgia, etc, plus it helps them relax and sleep. I am being led on this one by my clients outstanding results. Note CBD is a product of soy, so some many not find it useful.

23. What does the body scan involve? You can optionally go on my body composition scales which tell you…

To do this you just need to tell me your height and age, plus stand on the fancy scales barefoot for a few seconds. This will be done in a private room. And your results will be sent to you via WhatsApp a few hours after the session.

If you are trying to lose weight, I recommend you focus on your body fat percentage, not weight, as this will help you look and feel better.

For general health, focusing on your metabolic age is very useful.

If you would like to buy your own scales like this so your can monitor your progress regularly, and see on the free app what are your healthy ranges, here is the > Amazon

27. Why is magnesium important? Firstly it’s an electrolyte to help you stay well generally. Secondly in a certain strength and quality like in our drinks, they can help you calm down and sleep.

28. Do you have an example of the breathing meditation? Yes, we usually use a guided audio like like > Breathing Meditation
