Black Coffee & The Compound Interest of Willpower Training
Many of the clients I work with come looking for complete health renovation. They want Hollywood beach bodies yesterday. And they’re willing to go on almost any diet and slash almost every unhealthy habit that stands in their way.

Surviving Unhealthy Airport Food + The Best Healthy Travel Snacks
Eating healthy at home can be challenging. But things can get even trickier when you travel and all around you are processed snacks and junk food.
Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, I’m almost certain that you want to arrive at your destination feeling energised, and mentally alert. But usually people end up totally tossing out all of their healthy eating principals, while gorging on whatever “food” is on offer at the airport, which is more likely to leave anyone mentally foggy, sluggish and feeling like a bloated whale.
