Boost stem cell production with HBOT

Thu, Sep 19, 2024

Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBOT) is proving to be a game-changer in regenerative medicine, especially when it comes to boosting stem cell production. In groundbreaking research by Professor Stephen Thom, it was discovered that 20 sessions of HBOT can increase circulating stem cells in the body by an astonishing 800 per cent. This remarkable boost helps the body heal faster, regenerate tissue, and recover more efficiently. In essence, if stem cells are the body’s repair crew, HBOT sends in reinforcements, speeding up the healing process.

Lose up to two stone in 10 weeks

Thu, Sep 19, 2024

The three keys to a genuine weight loss (real fat loss) plan are diet, exercise and metabolism correction. All three keys interconnect – one will not work without the other. Your metabolism is the most powerful of all the three keys – it is the ‘switch’ that controls everything else.

In most people this switch is off. Metabolism problems like slow thyroid, type 2 diabetes, sluggish liver, hormone imbalances, PCOS, endometriosis, infertility and digestive problems like constipation, IBS and diverticulitis will limit or stop your weight loss, no matter how much dieting or exercise you do.

Building confidence from the inside out — navigating self-esteem with learning differences

Study skills

Thu, Sep 19, 2024

From my many years’ experience of working at second level, September always brings about anxiety around study skills from parents, teachers and students themselves. Some students have this mindset, “I’m no good at maths, I’m no good at languages,” etc, they then begin to dread those classes in school. It has everything to do with how we talk to ourselves, changing our mindset, realising that everything can be achieved with effort will help you to achieve your goals and increase motivation.

So how do we grow our brain to take in all the information that teachers are giving us on a daily basis? It is very important to rewrite your notes from the notes given to you by your teachers, in this way you are very actively growing your brain in order to retain the information. You are actively learning as opposed to passively learning. You break your notes down, use a colour coordination theme and try to get all of the information on one page by condensing it. Select the core information, you don’t need to write it word for word.
