How To Stay Healthy While Travelling

Why Cancer Rates Are Up Among Young People

  • Increasing cancer rates
  • Obesity

  • Sugar consumption
  • Why are we eating the way we do?
  • Low-Carb Keto diets
  • Microplastics
  • Minorities, economics and higher cancer rates

 

How To Free Yourself From Addiction

  • Addiction is really about underlying emotional hooks?
  • Semaglutide can curb addictive behaviour…but it doesn’t get to the underlying problem
  • Changing habits through learned behaviour
  • External or internal stimuli trigger patterns of behaviour
  • First step…admitting that you have a problem
  • Second step…become somebody who isn’t addicted (a slightly different version of yourself)

 

Transforming Your Mindset

  • 4 elements of mindset transformation: mindset, identity, habits and energy
  • Energy: introverts, extroverts and ambiverts
  • How mindset and identity interact
  • What comes first, if we want to change?
  • Choosing what you want to become can be challenging
  • Fear of shifting
  • Once you have a good mindset…there’s still more work to be done
