Have you ever asked your body what it actually wants??!!

Have you ever asked your body elemental what it actually wants? By Ann Parker

I have had a weight problem all my life and I have been on every diet going, starved myself for 7 years, cut out total food groups and done three hours exercise a day!  So my personality/ego/conscious brain thought they were doing the right thing for me but not once did I ask my body what it wanted or needed.  What I have been shown over the last six months is that you need to be in tune with your body elemental as it absolutely knows what is best for you.  Your body elemental is a ‘spiritual’ part of your body (similar to your higher self) that absolutely knows 100% what is best for you and your body.  So it knows what you should eat, what supplements you should take and what exercise you should do.

The best way to get in touch with this part of you is to go into deep meditation and ask for it to come forward.  Talk to it like you would talk to your best friend.  Ask it what its name is and really get to know it.  Thank it for trying to help you and say that you are sorry that you may not have been listening!!

If we don’t listen to our body elemental we could become ill – a lot of people have stress that is now affecting their adrenals – but you most probably have been given signs that you are on the verge of burnout but you have ignored them.  I know this because I worked for 14 hours a day for 25 years with a severely underactive thyroid and then got to the state of adrenal collapse. I couldn’t stop ‘doing’ and felt guilty if I sat down and did nothing – sound familiar?  I know somebody whose body elemental was trying to get him to slow down and when he didn’t listen he had three accidents – he thought he was unlucky but I knew his body elemental would make him rest in the end and it did by breaking his leg!

If you dowse with a pendulum or use muscle testing to ask questions, I would still suggest that you phrase your questions like this “Can I ask my body elemental if it wants to do hot yoga?”. So you are still being very particular and narrowing down the response.  So these are just a few examples of questions:

Can I ask my body elemental:

1.     Do you want me to take a multi vitamin

2.     Does it have everything in it I need

3.     Do I need to take it every day

4.     If so for how long

5.     If I don’t need to take it every day how often do I take it and for how long

 

1.     Do you want me to cut out wheat/diary/whole food groups

2.     If so for how long

3.     If not what can I continue to eat

4.     Should I eat it with other things such as protein, bread, pasta etc

 

1.     Do you want me to go on this detox/juice diet

2.     If so what would you like me to have in the juice

3.     How long would you like me to do it for

4.     If not what would you like me to do instead

 

1.     Do you want me exercise now

2.     If yes what would you like me to do and for how long

3.     If no why not and when can I exercise in the future

4.     Am I doing the right exercise for me

 

Recently I discovered the benefits of Kefir and was very excited and I asked if it was OK for me to take it and I got absolutely!  However, I didn’t ask how often and for how long – big mistake!  I was OK for a couple of days and expected to feel really good and then I was really ill – and disappointed!  When I asked how often a week I was supposed to take it my body elemental said twice and that I had also been taking too much at one go – so I didn’t get anything right then did I!  If you take supplements or herbs don’t assume that you should take them every day.  In fact, don’t assume anything!  Ask if your body elemental wants the biscuit in your hand, or the glass of wine or cake you are about to consume!  If it says NO but you really want it explain to your body elemental that you would really like it but that you will be healthy from then on!

Can an imbalance of gut bacteria mean you can't lose weight?

How certain types of bacteria could be stopping you losing weight

There are many reasons why people can’t lose weight – I know that because I have written a 300 page book on the subject!!!  I haven’t looked at gut bacteria before but this article from the Daily Mail certainly caught my eye!  We have lots of stomach bacteria and it is all very important in our health wellbeing and our weight.  A company called Mapmygut will test your gut bacteria for you and then advise you on what diet to follow to improve the bacteria that is not in balance.  Here are some of the bacteria that could be causing you problems with your weight.  This could explain why you have trouble losing weight or gain it very easily – the lady in the article lost 3 lbs very quickly even though she had struggled before.  Her low levels of certain bacteria meant that her body was ultra efficient in taking all calories from food and conserving them as fat.

Ruminococcaceae – high levels of this bacteria is linked to obesity

Rikenellaceae – high levels of this bacteria is associated with being overweight and linked to a high fat diet

Akkermansia - should be 9-12% anti-inflammatory and improves blood sugar (the lady in the article was about 1%)

Christensenellaceae - dubbed the skinny bacteria so if it is low trouble you will have trouble losing weight

Bacteroidetes and firmicutes - good for extracting calories out of food which will add unwanted fat!

Same old diet advice really – avoid processed food and only drink a couple of times a week.  Fasting is good as are fermented foods like Kefir and Apple Cider vinegar.

Why lack of love as a child can make you fat as an adult

Wednesday, 29 April 2015

What has lack of love as a child got to do with your weight problem now?

please contact me on info@unleashyourfullpotential.co.uk

So what does lack of love as a child (or now) have to to with your weight problem?  A lot actually!  If you were not shown enough love as a child, or a sibling was favoured, this can set up a pattern of there is not enough and I am not worthy of what there is.  So this will cause your body to hang onto weight as it believes there is scarcity and lack, especially if you are having a tough time with your job and money.  Because on the television there is so much about scarcity and not enough money to go around we are programmed with lack which then becomes our reality.  So it is best not to watch the news or political programs!

Your inner child is crying out for love and nuturing so the first thing you need to do is talk to her and tell her that you love her, that there is plenty of love to go round and that you will always love her.  Keep telling her this every day.  I carry a picture of me as a young girl and I talk to her every day telling her how special she is, how she is loved and how I will always look after her and we are safe.

If you dont love yourself then this can become a weight problem and you wont be able to lose it whatever you do.  You are adding the extra weight of protection and you may be giving yourself this love through food - this is one of the main reasons why people overeat to give them comfort and love.

Because of your childhood you may be projecting out to the world that you are a terrible person and dont deserve to be loved so you will attract people and partners that treat you badly and dont show affection or love.  My husband has never once said he loved me even in the early days when he was mad about me - I was attracting what I thought I deserved.  My mother only gave me love when other people where around or when she wanted something  So now I think that love always comes with conditions!

If you have been sexually, emotionally or physicially abused as a child this will lead to patterns of lack of love and scarcity.  You will attract people who want to abuse you and you may put on weight to repel them.  It becomes a vicious circle.

Use a technique like EFT  start clearing away these patterns and every day fill yourself with love and affirm that you are worthy and deserve love from yourself and from everybody.  Look at areas where you may be withholding love from other people and ask for this to be healed.

How can Karma possibly make you fat!

The first part of how karma can affect your weight

How does Karma affect your weight?

I have been on a diet since I was born - I was 12 lb even then which for 1955 was very heavy!  What ever happened the weight never came off.  My mother was obsessed and had me on a diet and exercise plan at the age of 3!

I even spent 7 years on 150 calories a day, water tablets and slimming pills - and I wont tell you what else I did, to try and lose weight.  Most people would have died through malnutrition but I was still slowly putting on weight!

So why I started on my spiritual journey it absolutely made sense that I was paying back negative karma as being overweight made me very  unhappy.  I had chosen to be overweight as I felt that I needed to suffer and punish myself for what I had done (or perceived I had done) in past lives. I was also carrying "the heavy burdens of karma".  This explained why everything I did didnt work.  So I had to work very hard at forgiving myself and releasing the need to suffer and punish.  I can help you do this as I have so much experience now.

There will more on this subject later this week on how dying of starvation or thirst in past lives affects your weight more.  Also how other past lives affect your weight now

Do you really want to lose weight? I bet you dont!!

please contact me on info@unleashyourfullpotential.co.uk for a session

I was 12lb when I was born and I then suffered with being overweight most of my life.  When I reached puberty I really whacked it on and then suffered with 3 weeks pms water retention a month so never lost weight again!  My mother had me on a diet from the minute I was born and as soon as she could, she got me on an exercise routine.  I remember spending hours on a chair doing leg exercises (because I had fat legs apparently!) and was made to run up and down stairs.  Nothing shifted the weight which made my mother even worse!!  Everything I ate was analysed and I was made to feel a freak.

I did lose weight a couple of times (I now know why as I had to attract my husband and various jobs) and when I was slim I was gorgeous and attractive.  So suddenly I was made redundant and the weight started to pack on - but not for the reason you think which would be to do with overeating. 

My subconscious had decided that I was too attractive and that it was only a matter of time before I left my husband and ran off with somebody else and that I wasnt safe.  So it took me out of a male situation and I ended up with my own beauty salon!  I then spent 17 years trawling from therapist to therapist and spending a fortune to find out why I couldnt lose weight.  It was only when I met somebody who would diagnose using muscle testing that she told me THAT I DIDNT WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT!  Well you could have knocked me over with a feather as I would have denied this.  But it just shows that you dont know what your subconscious is doing to you - and we are 95% subconscious!  So then I had to start investigating why:

1. I had been sexually abused from the ages of 3 to 6 and didnt want to be a woman - hence the weight on when I reached puberty
2. I didnt feel safe when I was slim as I was attractive and got too much attention
3. I had had various rapes/date rapes and was worried this was going to happen again
4. I had died of starvation/thirst in various past lives and this was causing me to hang onto the water and weight in this life.  I felt I wouldnt survive if I lost the weight

There were lots of other reasons but by god it took some shifting!!  If your subconscious doesnt want you to do something it can take a long time believe me! But I can now shift this for you so dont suffer in silence anymore!

Does everybody have starvation mode?

please contact me on info@unleashyourfullpotential.co.uk

I hear this all the time from people - you have cut your calories down and you are now in starvation mode and you cant lose any weight.  Well now top doctors are saying that we should all be cutting down our calories as it is better for our body and helps resist disease.  Yes I did mess up my metabolism when I lived on 150 calories for 7 years but I did that because it was already messed up and I couldnt lose weight - especially after I gave up smoking which raises your metabolism by at least 200 calories a day.  I was also on stimulants and the weight was dropping off everybody else but not me!

So if this starvation mode exists how comes people like Kate moss and Posh Spice lose weight and stay so thin (and it is thin and unnatural for most people).  If starvation mode existed people wouldnt become annorexics would they?  Their body would stop at a weight that was healthy and they wouldnt lose any more weight.

I do believe there is a starvation mode but it is not caused by what the doctors say but from a variety of other things that I talk about in this blog all the time.  Some of these are:

1. Your subconscious does not want you to be slim for various reasons.  It is protecting you from sexual abuse, getting pregnant, too much attention from men, not wanting to step out of comfort zone, fear of failure - the list is endless!

2.  I also believe that it is to do with starving, being malnourished or dying of thirst in previous lives - and it could be more than one life.  Your body is frightened of this happening again so it holds onto the weight and the water so you dont die

I think these are the main reasons but there can be many others which I could identify if you had a session with me.  Dieting doesnt work for everybody and you need to find out what is the real cause.

The reason you cant lose weight is because you have a slow metabolism

please contact me on info@unleashyourfullpotential.co.uk

I am so fed up with people saying slim people never overeat, emotionally eat or sit and watch the television.  Most of the slim people (or ordinary or slightly overweight people) drink alcohol on a regular basis, eat pizza and go out to eat at least once a week - and buy bars of chocolate and cake - somebody must be buying them!  My friend cut out drinking for 4 nights a week and lost two stone over 3 months - I dont even drink!

One of the reasons that you cant lose weight is because your metabolism is slow.  You could be born with a slow metabolism (like me) or something could have happened to make it slow down (like a shock, childbirth or an allergy). It could be genetic, your body type or constitutional homeopathy type. It could be a life plan to affect your weight and it could even be a past life!  When I gave up smoking I never lost weight again - this is due to the fact that smoking boosts your metabolism by at least 200 calories a day so even though I was careful and didnt substitute the weight started to creep on.  The metabolism is partly controlled by the thyroid glad but I feel it comes more from the hypothalumus (the boss of the endocrine system!) and doctors dont even recognise this or have anything to boost it up!  If you have a slow metabolism you will never lose weight or keep it off.  Remember every 10 years your metabolism slows down even further!

When I tell people I lived on 150 calories for 7 years they say no wonder your metabolism is shot - but I did that because my metabolism was shot before!  So I know I made it worse but I was desperate!  People say eat more food and especially protein but this doesnt work if you have a serious weight problem.  People say eat more of a certain type of food but this doesnt work long term or permanently.  The best way to increase your metabolism is to find out what homeopathy and herbs are best for you as they will address it permantly for ever.  Another good technique to use is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) as you can tap on your metabolism every day and increase it slowly.

Why not book an appointment with me to find out why your metabolism might not be working properly.

Doctors dont understand an underactive thyroid - read these lies!

to contact me please email info@unleashyourfullpotential.co.uk

Doctors do not understand how the thyroid works and how once you have put on the weight it is virtually impossible to lose the weight even on thryroxin which is useless!!  So please read this article on the 5 lies about thyroid problems.  Homeopathy is sooooooooooooooooo much better so contact me if you have a problem.

5 Lies About Your Thyroid Disease That You're Likely to Hear

5.. Your Levels are Normal

First, what does "normal" mean. A decade ago, the medical community went by the standard that .5 to 5.0 on the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) blood test was the normal range. If your TSH was below .5, you were hyperthyroid/overactive. If your TSH was above 5.0, you were hypothyroid/underactive. Since 2002, however, both the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and the The National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry's "Laboratory Medicine Practice Guidelines," have recommended that the normal range be revised, so that it is instead .3, to 3.0. Many doctors and labs still haven't switched over to the new, narrower standards and range yet, so many people who are testing in the 3.0 to 5.0 range may be told they have "normal" thyroid function by some practitioners, and diagnosed as "hypothyroid" by others. So when a doctor tells you your levels are "normal" -- ask what "normal range" he/she is actually using to make that determination.

4. If You Have a Thyroid Problem, Take Iodine or Kelp

Nnatural health practitioners who don't truly understand thyroid function are often quick to tell you that "thyroid problems mean you need iodine" or iodine-containing herbs or supplements, such as kelp, bladderwrack and bugleweed.

If you are truly iodine deficient, iodine may be able to help your thyroid. One study done in 1998 found that over the past twenty years, the percentage of Americans with low intake of iodine has more than quadrupled. Currently about 12 percent of the U.S. population is iodine deficient, up from less than 3 percent in the early 1970s. So, for some people, iodine deficiency may be a factor in their thyroid problem.

But for some people, iodine or iodine-containing products make worsen autoimmune thyroid problems, both Hashimoto's and Graves' disease, and cause enlargement of the thyroid (goiter). Before you start iodine, consider having urinary iodine measured to see if you have an actual deficiency, and pay close attention to any symptoms that develop after you start to take iodine.

3. You Have Graves' Disease/Hyperthyroidism and Need Radioactive Iodine (RAI) Treatment

When it comes to autoimmune thyroid disease, Hashimoto's disease, which usually results in hypothyroidism, is the far more common than Graves' disease, which causes hyperthyroidism. At some stages of Hashimoto's disease, however, and in particular, often during the early stages, the thyroid that is in the process of autoimmune failure may actually spurt into action and become temporarily overactive, making a person hyperthyroid. Sometimes, it's the temporary hyperthyroidism symptoms -- anxiety, heart palpitations, fast pulse, weight loss, diarrhea, insomnia -- that first bring a Hashimoto's patient to the doctor. Unfortunately, some doctors run just the thyroid bloodwork for TSH, see the low TSH that is characteristic of hyperthyroidism, and recommend radioactive iodine treatment -- a usually permanent treatment that permanently disables the thyroid, and renders the patient hypothyroid for life. The problem is, the patient doesn't suffer form Graves' disease and the hyperthyroidism is just temporary "Hashitoxicosis" -- and the patient is ultimately on his or her way to becoming hypothyroid. In some cases, then, unless the hyperthyroidism was life-threatening and uncontrollable using drugs, the expensive radiation treatment -- whose side effects are still being debated -- is needless administered.

If you are told that you have Graves' Disease or hyperthyroidism, and are rushed to have RAI, insist on blood tests for various antibodies, as well as imaging tests, to demonstrate that you do indeed have Graves'/hyperthyroidism, and are not just experiencing temporary Hashitoxicosis.

Basal Body Temperature Can Diagnose Hypothyroidism

Here is a situation where a clinical sign -- low body temperature, has been turned into a "one size fits all" diagnostic tool that simply doesn't work. It's medically known that thyroid hormones have a direct effect on the basal, or resting, metabolic rate. And while hypothermia, or lowered body temperature, is a known and medically accepted symptom of hypothyroidism, some practitioners believe that body temperature is an infallible diagnostic tool. The late Broda Barnes, M.D., made the public more widely aware of the use of axillary (underarm) basal body temperature (BBT) as a symptom and diagnostic tool for hypothyroidism. It is a diagnostic and monitoring method still used by some complementary and alternative practitioners.

To measure your BBT, use an older oral glass/Mercury thermometer, or a special BBT thermometer available at some pharmacies. For glass thermometers, shake it down before going to bed, and leave it close by and within reach. As soon as you awake, with minimal movement, put the thermometer in your armpit, next to the skin, and leave it for ten minutes. Record the readings for three to five consecutive days. Women who still have their menstrual period should not test on the first five days of their period but can begin on day 5. Men, and girls and women who are not menstruating can test any time of the month.

If the average BBT is below 97.6 Fahrenheit, some complementary practitioners would consider a diagnosis of an underfunctioning thyroid or insufficient thyroid hormone replacement. An average BBT between 97.8 and 98.2 is considered normal. Temperatures from 97.6 to 98.0 degrees Fahrenheit are considered evidence of possible hypothyroidism, and temperatures less than 97.6 degrees can be even more indicative of hypothyroidism. Some practitioners, however, consider any temperature under 98 degrees to be indicative of hypothyroidism.

Use of basal body temperature is controversial, however, and even those practitioners who use the test caution that it should be part of an overall approach, and not solely relied upon. Holistic thyroid expert Dr. Richard Shames has said:

For those who have already been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, the basal temperature test is an additional piece of observational measurement that helps determine whether a person is on the right medicine and/or the right dose, along with considering the response to medication, physical signs (especially ankle reflexes and skin temperature), and blood test results…Temperature testing, however, is not infallible, and -- like any other test -- should never be used alone to rule in or rule out a thyroid condition, or to dictate therapy. This is simply a good piece of information that should be used wisely.

1. The Only Treatment for Hypothyroidism is Synthroid

Perhaps one of the most common fallacies doctors regularly repeat is that Synthroid is the only treatment for hypothyroidism. Actually, Synthroid is a brand name for the drug "levothyroxine" -- a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine, also known as T4.

Synthroid happens to be the top-selling levothyroxine drug -- primarily due to its marketing influence on physicians and their organizations, as well as relationships with distributors and insurers. Synthroid, however, is almost always the most expensive levothyroxine. Other brands, considered equally effective by many practitioners, and almost always less expensive, include Levoxyl, Levothroid, and Unithroid. Some patients find that they respond best to a one brand -- not necessarily Synthroid -- due to the way that brand dissolves and is absorbed, or the fillers and dyes used by the different manufacturers.

In addition to the levothyroxine drugs, there is also liothyronine -- the generic name for the T3 hormone. The brand name is Cytomel. Adding T3 to levothyroxine has been found to help some thyroid patients relieve symptoms more effectively than levothyroxine (T4) alone.

Finally, there is the category of prescription drugs known as natural thyroid. Don't mistake these with over-the-counter glandular thyroid supplements -- they are not the same. Prescription natural desiccated thyroid -- the primary brand being Armour Thyroid, but also available are Nature-throid, Westhroid, Erfa, and a generic made by Acella -- -- is made from the dried thyroid gland of pigs. It includes natural T4 and T3, plus other less understood thyroid hormones including T2, T1. Some practitioners, and in particular holistic, integrative and natural health experts, find that natural thyroid is optimal for some patients.
