Description
There are plenty of 'Health and Fitness' courses on Udemy - dozens and dozens. BUT this one is unique and the opening lectures explain why. No other course duplicates this. PLUS there are several workbooks included - current as at May 2024.
This is EIGHT courses in one:
1. Benchmarks
2. Routines - morning and evening
3. Intermittent - fasting/movement
4. Food & drink
5. Exercise
6. Sleep (and become a Sleep Consultant)
7. Lifestyle medicine
8. Holman Protocol
In short: total health (+ workbook on Holistic Medicine)
You will learn about:
Losing weight
Key biomarkers
Key tests to have - and then check back to see progress
Benchmarks set by YOU - and then check back
Sleep
Intermittent movement
Intermittent fasting
Fitness
Healthy eating
More Sleep
How to optimise your own health
This is a unique course owing in part to its origins (Wisdom of the Crowds) and in part to its application. The Holman Protocol is a collection of ideas, studies and interpretations that will enable you to regain health, to regain wellness - in short to take control over your life - and become superhuman!
Through a series of lectures - some quite long - and with reference to experts, studies and published articles the student is presented with a wide range of advice over the key areas that affect our lives. Areas such as exercise, sleep, stress, diet, risks, routine, fasting and the measurement thereof, are all covered. But this is an individual journey, not a prescription. Students will be presented with topics to consider and homework to take action over.
The greater participation from the student, the greater the progress.
If you follow this long course the following will happen:
1. You WILL lose weight (if weightloss is needed)
2. You WILL get fit(ter)
3. You WILL get healthier
4. This will improve all aspects of your life ( including sex life)
5. You will become Superhuman!
It is probably not overstating it to say that lives may well be saved.
This is a very detailed course - longer than many many other courses...it's your life, make the choice.

Almost Random Theatre is a theatre company started in 2012. After putting on plays at Oxford and Brighton fringes, taking actors to Poland and Czech Republic, selling plays to schools, putting on many short plays in Oxford, visiting 60+ schools and running 'drama days' it was decided to...slow down.
The theatre's main contribution now is helping with numerous Art Therapy courses.
