True or false? When it comes to adult braces, dentists might say, it is true your palate is set and your teeth can only move so much. But is it false? Did you know your fascia plays a huge role in that flexibility of movement? During my own Invisalign treatment, I used the Face Stick and targeted tongue exercise to release the fascia around my teeth and gums. And did it work? Well, I'd have to say yes. It made for a much smoother and much more significant tooth movement than expected and really quite minimal in terms of discomfort during the realignment process.

Are machines and healthy gadgets keeping you from real healing? Everywhere you turn these days, there is a new high tech device promising to optimise your health, boost your energy levels and even reverse ageing. From PEMF therapy to ozone treatments, hyperbaric chambers to Rife machines, these technologies claim to revolutionise wellbeing, often with a hefty price tag attached.

How can your mind extend your lifespan by seven and a half years? What if I told you the greatest secret to living longer and feeling better has less to do with your diet or exercise and more to do with how you think and feel about ageing?

Have you ever believed something about yourself for so long that it felt like a fact? A thought, a belief, a phrase that has played on repeat in your mind, shaping how you see yourself, your body and the world around you. This is what I call a Thought Knot. But what if I told you that that thought knot, in fact, began as somebody else's?

Should you kill your pain? Have you ever wondered if pain could actually be useful? It can be easy to think of pain as the enemy, something that you need to push away, or silence. But what if instead of shutting it down, you could learn to tell the difference between pain that guides you and moves you forward and pain that holds you back? 

Have you ever heard me say “Pain is your friend?” You might have felt tempted to tune out the moment that you heard that, because pain tends to be given a bit of a bad name, let's be honest. But what if instead of trying to outrun discomfort or mute or numb it, you could understand that your pain can act as a guiding force, directing you towards any areas that need care, attention and healing.

There's this idea that the faster you go, the better things will be. And in some circumstances that's definitely true, of course, but it's often taken as a rule of thumb. Shipping is now overnight. Seasonal food is available all year round. Even movies are available at home the instant that they're finished in the cinema. We're out of practice when it comes to waiting for things, for letting things take time. But is starting slow better than starting fast? I think it is, and I'm going to tell you why.
