Discover How Baby's can be effected by Chemicals with Therese Kerr

Did you know?
It's possible to transfer chemicals from my body to my child in utero? 
It's possible that my baby boy’s genitalia hasn’t developed properly because of the chemicals I put on my body and/or on him?  
We don't know what the impact of the mostly untested chemicals used in everyday skin, hair, beauty, personal, oral and baby care products really is?

We do know our children’s endocrine and detoxification systems are not developed enough to be able to deal effectively with chemicals and toxins.

Professor Marc Cohen of the RMIT University in Melbourne states that one of the quickest ways a woman will detox is through pregnancy, another is through breast-feeding.  Breast-feeding is by far the absolute best start you can give your child and I personally encourage all mums to breast feed and to also breast feed for as long as they can. What I wish to bring awareness to is that it is becoming increasingly apparent that detoxing prior to conception to avoid transferring fat soluble chemicals onto our babies in utero and then continuing to do the same through breast-feeding is one of the best steps you can make to give your child a healthy, vibrant start to life.

Physiologically undeveloped –

Baby’s and young children’s bodily systems are generally underdeveloped compared to those of adults, in fact research is showing that it takes up to the age of seven for a baby to develop the ability to detoxify to the degree of an adult.

Babies have a larger ingestion of food, fluid and air per weight measurement than adults, so the effect of toxins is much greater.

Healthy Heart

Adore your Heart with the Healthy Hearts 10 week program. Learn and implement your own Integrative Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Program.  Each Friday attend a 1/2 hour group workshop followed by an hour Yoga class. Improve your cardiovascular and metabolic health now.

The Healthy Heart program includes talking about factors that your doctor may not have told you. Recent studies have shown the real culprits behind Cardiovascular Disease are Inflammation, Oxidative Stress and Immune Dysfunction. These are the three factors you need to understand and address and we'll do this step by step in short workshops each week so that you can understand easily.

Some of the subjects we will look at are;

• How to get checked out and understand your pathology results
• Reducing inflammation, oxidative stress and immune dysfunction and eliminating factors that are causing these problems in the body. 
• Counteracting problems with cholesterol, blood pressure and insulin levels
• Yoga program based on research that proves yoga improves heart health outcomes.
• Address any other diseases contributing to inflammation, oxidation or autoimmune dysfunction. Making lifestyle changes to support your program and improve your outlook on life
• Integrate standard medications as appropriate with evidence based nutritional supplements

Health Changes, Mindset and The Ritual Board

Let's look at what causes behavior change?

This Graph shows the Fogg Behaviour Model. You'll notice it's much simpler to do easy to do things than hard to do things even when you have high motivation.  So this is where a Ritual Board comes in.
We are going to fill it with easy to do things that head us towards our behavior change and ultimately our health goal and tick them off each day when we achieve them. To award ourselves for doing them all we'll give ourselves a star.  What will be the reward for 7 stars? We'll answer that when we set up your board.

The Role of High Intensity Interval Training & Weight Loss

Dr. Stephen Boutcher has been working very hard at NSW Uni, examining the ability of exercise and diet to decrease body fat and to normalize metabolic syndrome factors such as insulin and inflammation. He has  shown that high intensity intermittent sprinting exercise (LifeSprints), compared to steady-state exercise, results in significant fat loss in women. He has also shown that LifeSprints reduces fasting insulin levels to a greater extent compared to steady state exercise.

I interviewed him asked him his top secrets for fat burning.  They are;

1. Fast for 4 hours prior to exercise.  (best to do it first thing in the morning)
2. Do 20 minutes exercise three times a week
3. Do what he calls Life sprints on a cycle.  8 secs flat out then 12 secs easy.  This results in much more fat loss than 40mins of steady state cycling.
4. Fast for a further hour after exercise
5. Drink green tea after work out
6. Drink cold water

For this you can expect from his clinical trials;

• Aerobic power to increase 24% in 15 weeks
• Fat mass loss 2.5kg in females after 15 weeks
• Visceral fat decrease 17% in males after 12 weeks sprinting
• Muscle mass increase 1.2 kg in males after 12 weeks sprinting
• Insulin 34% decrease in females after 6 weeks sprinting, fish oil and Mediterranean diet
