In all of human history, humans have always been happier free and safe. Not that you can’t have both, but given the choice between a dangerous free environment, or a safe repressive one, happiness comes with free choice. They’d choose safety, yet be miserable and riddled with mental health problems. Freedom and insanity are correlated, not safety.

Since age 9 I’ve been passionate about Health in all its manifestations: mental, emotional, physical, financial, spiritual.

As a fitness enthusiast in under 4 months, I’ve managed to lose 23 pounds, take 6 inches off my waist from 36 to 30, drop body fat from 22.6% to 9%. I never imagined at 42 I’d have abs, because I was convinced it was genetics 🧬 , bone 🦴 structure and age. But I “hacked it”! I just wish I had this body 20 years ago!

In business and work, I hold 5 registered ® service marks™️ for a proven process I created that helps business leaders define, design and deploy strategic plans for growth, guaranteed.

In terms of emotional and mental health I’m a certified advanced thought field therapist, though I don’t practice professionally, but many of the skills I use in coaching others.

Spiritual health covers it all for me and I’m an avid reader of personal development. I’ve had dozens of experiences, and whether they’re “imagination” or “out of body”, either way, they’ve helped me feel there’s more to life than material.

All that said... my good friend Mark Joyner recently interviewed Dr. Joe Vitale, the legendary marketing and Law Of Attraction guru, where he revealed his imperfections. I mention it to encourage everyone to watch that touching and empowering interview; and to reveal that life hasn’t been terribly easy, and I’ve overcome abuse, discrimination, an eating 🍽 disorder and no matter the controversies which I’m always happy to discuss, autism. I mention this as a fair warning ⚠️, and that I’m not always most productive, especially not recently.

My latest projects are designing a course for Dr. Terri Levine’s new book 📖 (About To Break); launching a programme for the weight loss method I employed; and a development deal for my podcast and show.

I guess my real passion would be that show, entertainment and information. It’s what I’ve alway wanted to do, and despite 10 years in Hollywood with some good credits, never managed to make that one happen.

I reside in the East Midlands, Beeston, Nottingham.

I’m excited to connect with spiritually ignited souls and can’t wait to meet you in person.

What The Holidays Do To Your Body

Heartburn, bloating, a lack of sleep… ah yes, ‘tis the season indeed! You already know that your holiday habits cause you a bit of weight gain, but what else is it doing to your body? We already covered the bloating, the heartburn, and a lack of sleep. What does it all mean? What’s really going on in your body to lead to all of these outcomes?

The holiday season in America officially begins with Thanksgiving, and from there… well, there’s the holiday party at work, the night out with your friends, the holiday parties at friend’s houses, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day… it’s a lot. The average American gains around four pounds of weight during the season (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4336296/). That’s just the average, you may be one of those people that picks up even more than that. Of course, you might be one of the lucky ones that skates through without picking up any extra weight.

The holiday season might be the season of pigging out, but it’s time to take a look at what that really means for your body.

The Bodily Toll

Hydrochloric acid kicks off the digestion process. As food starts moving through the digestive system, hydrochloric acid kills the bacteria. As you eat more, your gut will produce more acid. Some of it manages to sneak into your esophagus, which is why you often end up with heartburn when you overdo it. Not only should you avoid overeating to prevent heartburn, but after you eat, avoid reclining as well (for at least half an hour).

Large meals slow the digestion process down because it takes longer for larger amounts of food to digest. This is what results in those feelings of bloat. How does your body respond to that? Well, it sends extra blood to the gastrointestinal tract to deal with the giant delivery you just sent it. This means there is less blood available in the rest of your system to transport nutrients and oxygen elsewhere, which is why you often feel sluggish (and sometimes lightheaded) after that big meal.

Overeating can also trigger a spike in your blood sugar, particularly when you are eating a lot of sugary foods filled with carbohydrates. When your blood sugar spikes it releases too much insulin, which causes a spike in energy. You may enjoy the initial boost when you race through your chores, but with every spike comes a crash. Additionally, your body doesn’t think you really need all of that excess energy as fuel so, instead, it starts to store it as fat. Once you include alcohol in the mix, then you’re going to struggle to fall asleep.

The following morning, you wake up absolutely starving. Why? Well, your pancreas was working hard all night trying to process all your drinks and food. There’s a good chance you’ll wake up fatigued, with brain fog, and a headache.

So, even if you manage to keep your holiday weight gain below the average… look at what else your body went through?

Beyond the typical issues surrounding weight gain due to overeating, there’s also a little matter of stress. Not only do all of the above put additional stress on your body, but the holiday season is also a stressful time of year. It’s important that you learn how to manage your stress, though, as failure to do so makes you more susceptible to bad food choices, alcohol, and sleep problems. So, combine the stress factor in with the rest of your holiday behavior and it’s no surprise that your body is exhausted by the time New Year’s Day arrives.

These quotes have stood the test of time, and I live my life by them. I learned them from various mentors along the way, and they come from many sources.

Timeless classic I need to share. Please forgive the dated language and substitute whatever gender pronouns bring it current. The point is more valid today than then.

Doubting your beliefs and believing your doubts will guarantee failure. The antidote is to doubt your doubts and believe your beliefs.

Can you have a pint of ice cream a day and still stay fit?

When you “borrow” success approaches from OUTSIDE your industry—approaches none of your competition even knows about, let alone uses—it can give you explosive performance improvement AND preemptive competitive advantage. Profits can actually double, redouble, even double again—realistically (and easier) than you can imagine with the same or less effort. Pit your competitors against THIS “Positive Intimidation Fac­tor” and your business can win every time!

I take multiple success approaches from outside a given industry and combine many together into powerhouse, fresh “hybrids” that create the newfound profit power for each of my clients.

MASTERFUL THINKING PARTNER. This means my contributions and per­spectives transcend mere passive, static, linear­ type advice and leans more towards the totality of what’s needed.

I freely borrow ideas from multiple
domains, compile them into brand­ new hybrids, forge them into totally new and different performance contexts that few competitors can begin to grasp, let alone match. This allows someone like me to be far more effective at innovating a cli­ ent’s business! Another, perhaps simpler way of thinking about what I can do is that innovation involves applying, combining, existing sometimes seemingly prosaic—factors—but in totally new ways!

Are you willing to listen to (then apply) broad and new information—from outside your industry­­in order to command a major profit advantage? If so (and your business is already reasonably profitable, has support staff, infrastructure and resources to deploy)—you and I might be a good fit to work together.

- My normal rate for an entire day is $120,000. But that is only if I do not share in any ongoing profits. Your com­pany keeps all the profits and you will be the hero.

- For longer­ term, more collab­orative client relationships I get ONLY a low five-figure monthly base and share along with your company in the increased profits produced. I far prefer being “in for a penny/in for a pound,” long­term and receive the bulk of compensation based heavily on results.

Are there any problems in a business I can’t help with? Of course. Only a fool would claim absolute market omnip­otence. Some situations are, certainly, beyond my skill sets or knowledge bases. Plus­­some entrepreneurs and their managers are simply too rigid or lin­ear minded to actively embrace my unique methods and mindset. Or the business doesn’t crave becoming truly preeminent. Or the ethos and values aren’t in alignment.

It’s a part of my belief system to ALWAYS be proactively looking for promising, stimulat­ing, collaborative profit-sharing opportunities I can meaningfully monetize for both sides.

Again, there is NO guarantee I will want to work with you. Nor any certainty YOU will want to work with me. But exploring possibilities probably makes sense—if your business seems suitable.

Colin Campbell posted super interesting notion that your commentary on someone’s content is content! Holy revelation, batman, there’s not been something original in centuries, as even the old philosophers were commenting on someone else. But in there there’s gold. Let’s go mining!

My biggest mistake in life is giving too much too generously too often. Now broke, while others stole my work and ideas to earn millions. One woman CEO got a knighthood taking credit for my work. I’ve generated millions for charities without getting paid. My fault, my responsibility.

Empathy versus sympathy, and empath versus sympath. There’s no suffering for a real empath. Fear not, though, there’s hope and something can be done about it if you’re an “empath” who suffers!

After being uplifted by friends coming to my side, having been accused of being fake, I felt so much better. And then... an idol of mine, the author of Chicken Soup For The Soul, responded to a comment of mine and a cat pic! How cool is that?

Jim Edwards taught me something about copy writing but little did he suspect this to apply beyond that.

The Talented Mr. Ripley is a fantastic film starring Matt Damon. It'll make you cry and think. There's sex, murder, and some deep things to consider. The big one for me is the line, "I'd rather be a fake somebody than a real nobody."
Would you rather be a fake somebody than a real nobody?

Has anyone else had their pets gain weight when they lost weight? My cats, Emily and Charlotte used to be skinny when I was fat, but now that I’m in lean, trim, toned, they’ve gotten chubby. Mystery!

No not the John Cena kind. In life, in business, in health, you’ve got your mindset, mission, moves. My moves revealed I slipped in to a rotten mindset, that didn’t align with my mission. Thanks to a few nudges and tough love, I corrected that fast!

I won’t do it again, but it wasn’t that bad, inadvertent intermittent fasting during Halloween!

My 1st Episode, I wanted to tell you my backstory, and share where I’m starting from. After over 30 years of struggling with weight, up and down, yo-yo dieting, hiding and disguising my body, I stumbled upon the final solution and went from flabby2firm and the body of my dreams.
