Have you heard yourself or somebody you know say any of the following statements?

“I’ve got my mum’s thighs”

“My Dad had his hips replaced so I’m going to need mine done too”

“My eyes are going; I blame my parents…bad genes”

“I’m bound to get diabetes as it runs in the family”

You can add your own statements to this short list. But is it true?

Is it inevitable that we will inherit our ancestors health problems?

And that once you reach a certain age…it’s over – NO NO NO – It’s not over!

In the past, science lead us to believe that our DNA was pretty set and that could look forward to our parent’s and grand parent’s body type, their tensions, aches and pains, medications, etc etc.

However with the study of epigenetics, we now know that it is our environment that shapes our health. This not only includes nutrition, exercise levels and stress, but also our thought patterns and emotions.

So, you are not a victim of your genes…

…stop blaming others and set yourself free to enjoy a healthy future

Now is the time to take care of your self with a lifestyle that supports good health.

Why merely survive when you can thrive?

Here is a sentence from a blog by Dr Mercola: (link to the full blog below)

“By leading a healthy lifestyle, with high quality nutrition, exercise, limited exposure to toxins, and a positive mental attitude, you encourage your genes to express positive, disease-fighting behaviours”.

So your genes respond to their present environment. An environment that you’re choosing right now.

What are you eating tonight? When was the last time your took some high intensity exercise? When did you last take a relaxation or meditation class? Do you say positive things everyday? How is your posture right now? Is your breath calm and quiet?

Surround your genes with all the good stuff that life has to offer…

…plenty of exercise, healthy foods, time for relaxation and positive thinking

The Restore Your Body Programme has 6 categories that together help you develop a body that is strong & flexible and a mind that is calm and present. (If you need reminding, here is a full written blog with 2 minute video that explains the whole programme).

It’s a potent combination to achieve a body you enjoy and a health that shines. 

Here’s a few basic points that the 6 categories of the Restore Your Body Programme offers:
