Description
Losing weight in a world where there are convenience food stores on every corner and life is frantic, with little time to prepare healthy food, makes success almost impossible.
But what if we could lose weight while we sleep? Well… we can… with the wonderful tool called intermittent fasting.
Learning exactly how intermittent fasting leads to successful weight loss is the purpose of this course. Plus, you will learn what happens in the cells, and what options you may have to use this approach to suit your lifestyle.
Successful eating to lose weight… (you notice I do not say dieting?) can be manipulated with some tweaking, and intermittent fasting is one of those tweaks. Deigned to fall primarily over the time you are sleeping, intermittent fasting will reduce the discomfort you may feel with regular fasting, and yet weight can still be lost. Plus, you should feel better, with more energy, as you progress.
Explaining the details of AMPK and MTor, will help you understand and stick to your resolve to become a new you… with the resultant body to go with it.

Instructor
Biography:
I trained initially as a podiatrist and then went on to do a Bachelor's Degree in psychology and communication. I live in South Africa and have a private podiatry practice specializing in diabetic and arthritic patients, but subsequent to that, I studied Exercise Science (SA), Health and Nutrition (UK) and Functional Medicine (USA). Functional medicine looks at the interplay between our genes, nutrition, lifestyle, exercise and stress and how that relates to health and chronic, non communicable conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis and ageing. My sub- studies include, pain management, detoxification, gut management, energy management, hormone and sexual health. I am concerned at the downward spiral in health care and believe strongly that much of our health status lies within our own power. Education is everything but most of us do not have the time to sift through the information to establish what will work for us in our own unique context. This course aims at changing that. I am committed to empowering people so they are informed and can make health choices that will impact positively on their life and vitality.
