Am I alone, or are you also in a constant struggle to keep your screen-time in check?

I love my iPhone (and MacBook, and iPad…) and although these devices make my life so much easier in so many ways, they can come with some serious costs…

One major cost is the impact that screen-time has on our brain, and it’s ability to power down at night.

For more on how all this happens, check out our White Paper below: Reboot Your Sleep – 4 Ways Technology Is Destroying Your Sleep And What To Do About It.

One of the simplest strategies to help improve your sleep (and therefore your health) is to cut down on screen time at night…. Note I said simple, but far from easy.

That’s why we’ve made it the focus of this month’s challenge at The Wellness Group – to cut out all screen time one hour before bed.

Have you ever been caught in the ‘should I/shouldn’t I?’ mind-loop when it comes to nutritional supplements? I definitely have…

There have been times when my fridge was half-filled with supplements of all sorts… Followed by times where I ditched them all and went totally supplement-free.

To the best of my ability the ideas and thoughts I share are supported by evidence, and where that is perhaps lacking, my personal and professional experience.

Like all joints in our body, our hips are designed for lots and lots of regular movement.  Historically, all this movement was a requirement to survive. We often had to walk long distances, squat, crawl, run, leap, climb… all simply to survive.

And then in the past 200 years we have innovated such an abundance of amazing machines to help make our lives easier and safer, we’ve almost entirely removed the need to move!
