If you’ve been feeling like your energy has been low lately due to the situation we find ourselves in, then my guess is you’re not alone.
The only way out of that rut though, is through action.
By doing the things we enjoy we start to
raise our Qi, (otherwise known as our internal energy).
This new lease of energy then gives us the drive to do more of the things we love.
It’s a cyclical pattern that you have probably experienced before.
Therefore, my question to you is ...
What can you do today that will give your internal energy a boost?
Will it be ...
... performing a hobby you enjoy?
... listening to music you love?
... getting a great work out in?
… performing some Qi going?
… getting a massage?
… spending time with people you love?
... or maybe spending time in nature?
It doesn’t really matter what it is ... as long as it lights that internal spark.
So, have a great start to the weekend and let me know in the comments below what you’ll be doing today to boost your internal energy.
Over to you ...

03 Diabetes gone and no cold for over 18 months. 🙌🏻

Thats the power of The Total Health Revival Course. 🔥 | 94 | 0 | Loading... |
04 Every day for the last 15 years I have had consultations with people where I’m truly shocked by the advice they have been given by the medical industry.
Fobbing people off from one “specialist” to another, all while the patient gets worse and worse, until they are so sick they can’t leave the house....
Or until the are so ill they are a shell of their former self, and they feel that life isn’t worth living anymore.
What makes it worse is because they are covered my medical insurance, these doctors never truly pay for their countless negligence.
It’s time the general public knew just how huge the difference is between people who are experts in creating health, and those that specialise in disease.
It’s only because we’ve been brought up believing that medical doctors are Demi gods, that we give their methods and opinions so much power.
My question is…
“How many times do they have to fail, and how many people have to die, before this perception changes?”
Luckily, some of us go through our own health crisis and come out the other side, and we are awoken to the fact of how little the majority of doctors know about health ...
... and it leads us on a journey of discovery where we are then able to help others over come their health struggles.
The harsh truth is ...
You don’t need a medical degree to know how to create health.
In fact, in my experience, it’s the exact opposite of what you need.
What the public needs to recognise is that passing 7 years of tests on how to medicate, or radiate some close to death doesn’t make you an expert on health ...
... it makes you an expert in trying (and often failing) to mask the symptoms of disease for profit.

P.S. I actually don’t enjoy writing these post, but even though every day I encounter stories from people where doctors have given truly shocking advice, every now and again I hear a story that moves me close to tears, and yesterday was one of those days. | 114 | 0 | Loading... |

06 Does this sound familiar?
It did for me.
However, I made my peace long ago with not blending into the crowd.
I’ll always be happy going left when society tells me to go right, especially if my gut tells me to.
Listening to my gut is how I managed to heal myself.
I knew deep down life wasn’t meant to be lived in constant pain.
I knew there was more to life than simply surviving.
Listening to my gut lead me to search for answers.
That search ultimately led me to where I am today ... happy, healthy and able to help others out of their chronic health issues, even when everything else has failed them.
To be honest, my intrinsic gut feeling has never been wrong before.
Has yours?
Listening to my intuition lead me on the path to truth, growth and happiness.
So follow your gut.
Be yourself.
And, if you find the majority of society looking at you funny, or disagreeing with your opinions or approach, then you’re probably doing something right!
Onwards & Upwards

10 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿?
Hormonal contraceptives and hormone replacement therapies are classified as carcinogenic to humans (group 1) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
Class 1 means that it is a known substance that causes cancer in humans.
In fact, it was in 2007 that the International Agency for Research on Cancer said that based on consistent evidence from studies in recent years, it was reclassifying hormonal menopause therapy from “possibly carcinogenic” to “carcinogenic.”
The declaration from the World Health Organisation’s cancer agency, (which is widely regarded as the international authority on cancer-causing agents), came after several high-profile studies linking combination hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, to breast cancer.
The analysis, conducted by a panel of 21 scientists, concluded that estrogen and progestin therapy for menopause also increased the risk of endometrial cancer.
The agency had also previously determined that the Pill combining estrogen and progestin can cause liver cancer, and further research has now demonstrated that it also increases the risk of breast and cervical cancer.
There is also research showing that the Pill could be linked to increased death rates of women between the ages of 35-44.
Shocking right?
It’s even more shocking when you look at the stats and find out that the Pill has been taken by over 200 million women.
It is currently prescribed to 3.5 million British women today, with one-quarter of all 16 – 49 year-olds using it.
What’s worse is that not all of these women are using the Pill to stop conception.
The Pill is also prescribed for irregular periods, PCOS, endometriosis, acne, menstrual cramps, and low estrogen conditions – all of which could instead be managed by diet and lifestyle changes.
If you are reading this as someone who’s been taking the Pill, I bet you weren’t told about these dangers by your GP when the Pill was prescribed to you?
In fact, I personally have spoken to countless women who have been using this drug for over a decade or even two, and none of them were aware of the associated risks and dangers.
The truth is there are many drugs that can cause cancer, including cancer-fighting chemotherapies, immune-suppressing medications, and radiation therapy …
…. and if you’re going to take drugs with the potential to cause you harm, you should be aware of all the risks …
And, when it comes to the Pill, Cancer is just one of those risks.
So, if you want to find out more about the Pill I have two fantastic interviews you can listen to, both of which are with world-leading experts on this topic.
You can find these interviews on my podcast Revive Yourself with Ryan Martin at iTunes, YouTube or Spotify.
The titles are:
Episode 131 – Revive Yourself – Dr. Jolene Brighten Author of Beyond The Pill
Episode 120 – Revive Yourself – Jane Bennett Author Of ‘The Pill: Are Your Sure It’s For You’
These interviews will give you a clearer picture of the true dangers of the Pill, as well as the other options available to couples who want to enjoy their sex life but who are not looking to conceive …
… for example, one simple non-invasive method is extraction, which has a 97% success rate.
(I was surprised at that stat when I first heard it too.)
Either way, if you’ve been taking the Pill for a month, or for an extended period of time, then I thought it was best you knew the truth about the damage it could do.
What you do with that information is up to you.

12 Doctors should go to prison if they prescribe birth control for “acne” or “painful periods” without telling women it’s a class 1 carcinogen and that there are many other ways to treat these issues.
They should also go to prison for not telling women the many natural ways to control birth that doesn’t include poisoning yourself and completely disrupting your natural hormonal process.
The whole system is a scam to deplete you of your health and life force, and once you wake up to this your health & life become much better in every way. 🙏 | 186 | 7 | Loading... |
13 The more they fill your head with nonsense & the more medicated you are, the easier you are to control.
They use the mainstream media, politics, professional sport & Hollywood to poison your mind with propaganda, fear porn, pseudo science, hook up culture & celebrity gossip.
They use the medical system and food & water supply to poison your body & brain with toxic synthetic medication, chemicals, injections, fast food, processed & refined foods, coffee, alcohol, soy, wheat, gluten, pasteurised dairy, HFCS, seed & vegetable oils.
With this combination, it’s no wonder the average person is fat, sick, depressed and broke.
Everything they promote is there to take away your health and wealth.
However, once you realise this, you CAN break free from the matrix and start living life on your terms.
Instead of watching the TV, you read books and listen to uplifting podcasts.
Instead of living your life through celebrities & gossip, you start to put your energy into your own pursuits, dreams & personal development.
Instead of taking medication and eating processed and highly inflammatory foods, you start eating organic produce, exercising intelligently, taking cold showers, surrounding yourself with good people and spending time in nature etc.
It is that simple.
Now simple doesn’t mean easy, especially with all the traps they have put in place.
But, once you shift your mindset and you decide to become a healthy and wealthy person, and you become aware of the pitfalls as well as your past programming, you can start to implement the changes you need to transform your life.
Day by day, week by week, implementing those health and wealth building habits, you will to build a life that will see you full of energy, vitality & passion.
How do I know this to be true?
I have done this myself, and I have helped thousands of others do it too.
The question is, how much do you want it to?
Would you rather stay stuck in the matrix, fat, ill & broke ...
Or …
Would you rather be healthy, happy, wealthy and whole?
The choice really is up to you.

15 You don’t need toxic synthetic poison to get healthy.
What you need is to follow Mother Natures principles.
Principles such as:
- eating real food
- drinking clean water
- moving your body
- getting adequate sunlight
- spending time in nature
- laughing daily
- getting cold exposure
- mitigating your expose to EMF
- not putting chemicals on your skin etc
Do these things, and your body will start return to full health.
I have seen it thousands of times.
Stop believing the lies of the men and women in white coats, who’s industry profits from you being sick …
And instead, start paying attention to Mother Nature, because the dirty little secret Big Pharma doesn’t want you to know is …
When it comes to your health, and the health of the planet …
Mother Nature has all the locks, and holds all the keys.

27 When Your Client Sends You A Picture Of Her Cool Dude That The Medical Industry Told Her She’d Never Have ❤️
This is something we at Revive have dealt with many times.
Often couples have come to us after being told they cannot conceive, only to fall pregnant within weeks or months of being on our program.
This happens because we adopt practices and principles that create health and reduce stress and toxicity in both the mother and father which are so prevalent in modern life.
This allows both partners to create both healthy internal environments that allows for the production of strong vibrant sperm (for the father) and a healthy nourishing womb (for the mother).
Once this is done Mother Nature has a funny way of stepping aside and creating life.
I’ve seen it time and time again.
Yes, unhealthy people have babies too ...
However, it’s becoming more and more rare these days as our lifestyle yes are overwhelming toxic ...
... as you can see with the amount of people who seek out IVF treatment, which is modern medicines way of cheating Mother Nature.
The reason Mother Nature will not produce life in a toxic and overly stressed environment is because it calculates the chances it has of survival, which in most cases isn’t high.
Therefore, if you want to fall pregnant naturally start to do all the things that create health both internally and externally, and you’ll be on the right path.
As always if you want support doing this, then just reach out as I’m only happy to help.

29 Fragrances are even added to medications (inhalers and sports creams), furniture polish, dental floss, nail polish, paper, some disposable razors, and even construction materials such as paint and varnish.
Dr Mercola writes…
“The term “fragrance,” under US law, actually means a combination of chemicals that gives a perfume or cologne its distinct scent. These ingredients may be derived from petroleum or natural raw materials, or they may be produced synthetically. Perfume manufacturers typically purchase fragrance mixtures from companies that specialise in developing fragrances (known as fragrance houses) and then combine them to create a unique scent.
It is this chemical combination that is typically kept protected as a “trade secret,” while other chemicals in the products (solvents, stabilisers, preservatives, dyes, and UV absorbers) may be listed on the label. So what is a typical fragrance actually made of?
Some common offenders include:
- Parabens: Synthetic preservatives known to interfere with hormone production and release.
- Phthalates: Another synthetic preservative that’s carcinogenic and linked to reproductive effects (decreased sperm counts, early breast development, birth defects) and liver and kidney damage.
- Synthetic musks: These are linked to hormone disruption and are thought to persist and accumulate in breast milk, body fat, umbilical cord blood, and the environment.
The Federal Fair Packaging and Labeling Act of 1973 requires cosmetics companies to list ingredients on labels, but it exempts fragrance, leaving consumers in the dark about what’s in such products.”
And, although the laws in Europe & the UK are a little stricter, many of the toxic chemicals and compounds can still be found in these products on our shelves.
Not only do you have to be concerned about your personal use, but you have to be aware of where you’re shopping too, as many stores now use "scent branding" to draw people in, like bees to honey - and KEEP people in.
Customers in ambient-scented stores have been found to shop for 20 to 30 percent longer.
Hotels also use this same trick as the majority now have a signature scent that is pumped through the air in the lobby.
Some hotels take it a step farther, incorporating their scent into linen sprays in guest rooms, cool towels by the pool, diffusers in the lighting, and even on business cards, postcards, and candles, meaning you can’t get away from these toxins even if you tried.
According to Mandarin Oriental’s branding specialists, hotel guests remember what they smell two times longer and more vividly than what they see or hear.
Scent branding firm 12.29, founded by sisters Dawn and Samantha Goldworm, likes to quote a similar statistic that after three months, a person can recall a smell with 65 percent accuracy, in contrast to only 50 percent of visuals.
Scent memories are persistent and ingrained. For brands, this is the main reason why they go to such length to create custom fragrances: they provide a powerful tool to build emotional loyalty.
“You don't viscerally experience a logo the way you experience a scent," said Caroline Fabrigas, chief executive officer of Scent Marketing who has previously worked for Prada, Chanel and Clarins, and has created scents for the new Baccarat and 1 Hotels in New York, along with more than 200 Hyatt hotels.
The process is similar: Such firms as New York-based Air Aroma bring together a team of interior designers, marketing experts, psychologists, graphic designers, and perfumers, with research and development fees that run from $5,000 to $30,000 per formulation, depending on scope.
“Custom scents are expensive,” continued Fabrigas, “but if you think about the amount of money a brand will use to create a logo, this is just another form of it - and it's one of the most powerful.” | 159 | 2 | Loading... |
30 To back up the fact that these fragrances are highly toxic to the human body many hotels have been hit with lawsuits where they have paid out millions people behind closed doors, where complaints have ranged from respiratory issues, headaches, skin irritation, insomnia, vomiting, and other adverse health problems.
In fact the Marriott was Hit with Class Action Over Alleged Use of ‘Dangerous Fragrances’ at Culver City Courtyard Hotel in January this year (2020), when a guest struggled to breath when exposed to their signature scent that was ironically put in place to, “enhance the guest’s experience”.
(Add this information to the prices hotels charge, and, its no wonder Air BnB is doing so well.)
However, avoiding toxic fragrances does not mean that you can’t smell nice when you go out, as natural options are available ...
... Although if you are sensitive keep in mind that botanical extracts can also cause reactions in some people.
Organic essential oils are one option you can use.
You can use them in a multitude of ways, and one way is add them to your own non-fragranced lotion or carrier oil such as coconut oil.
They may cost a little more, but they won’t pose the health risks of synthetic fragrances, and you actually only need to use a small amount to get the powerful healing benefits along with the fantastic smell of essential oils - for example one drop of peppermint essential oil is the equivalent to 19 cups of peppermint tea.
Of course, another option is to forgo fragrances entirely … in fact, a woman’s natural scent has been found to be more seductive than perfume, scoring another point for the power of nature!
Bear in mind fragrances and scents are only part of this story … with the majority of make ups, hair dyes, deodorants, moisturisers, facial creams etc all being hugely toxic to the human body too.
But that’s for another time.
So, if you want to create and maintain health, my advice would be to steer clear of conventional chemical based perfumes and fragrances, and opt for a natural alternative.
However, as always, the choice is yours.
Health & Happiness
Ryan
P.S. I recommend essential oils from Essential Oil Wizardy (www.essentialoilwizardry.com) because in my opinion they are the best in the world.

31 The fragrance industry is completely unregulated & products are loaded with a cocktail of chemical ingredients not listed on the label.
Perfumes & aftershave are full of synthetic chemicals that have been linked to cancer, reproductive toxicity, allergies and more.
In fact, chemical sensitivities to these products are incredibly common & can cause a wide range of symptoms including foggy thinking, asthma, eczema & blurred vision
Other symptoms caused by chemical sensitivities are insomnia, depression, panic attacks, rashes, binge eating, sneezing & abdominal pain.
So the question I’m asking you is …
Have you ever gotten a headache because someone sitting next to you is doused in perfume?
Or have you felt felt dizzy, nauseous, irritable, confused, or fatigued due to fragrances worn by coworkers at the office?
If so, you are not alone.
These are signs that you more than likely have a chemical sensitivity to fragrance, and this sensitivity is more common than you might think.
So, pay attention to how you feel next time you’re exposed to a fragrance ...
Because the truth is, anytime you or someone else wears a fragrance, it not only poses a health risk to the wearer, but also potentially to anyone around him or her, as they are exposed to the scent whether they like it or not.
Just how toxic fragrances and perfumes are, is in fact a dirty little secret the fragrance industry would rather you not know about.
Hidden behind their “pleasant” artificial scents are typically chemicals linked to hormone disruption, reproductive problems, and even cancer.
Many perfumes sold at department stores, big-box retailers, and virtually everywhere else can easily be described as poison, and this means that you could very well be sacrificing your health by wearing them.
To back this up here are a few interesting stats for you …
- Laboratory tests found a total of 38 chemicals not listed on the labels in 17 name-brand fragrances (such as Chanel, Giorgio Armani, Bath & Body Works, Old Spice, Calvin Klein, and more)
- The average fragrance product contained 14 chemicals that were not disclosed on the label (along with another 15 that were listed)
- Fragrances commonly contain parabens, phthalates, and synthetic musks that may cause hormone disruption, reproductive problems, or possibly cancer
- The exact ingredients in synthetic fragrances are protected as “trade secrets” and therefore do not have to be disclosed on the label
I know, shocking right?!
When you take a deep dive, research shows our powerful attraction to fragrances has been manipulated by advertisers and marketers to sell products for a long time.
This raises some serious health and ethical concerns.
So you maybe asking ...
How can they manipulate us so easily by the sense of smell?
Well ...
Although it sometimes flys under the radar, smell is the Superman of our senses.
You may think that sight or sound were your primary senses, but your sense of smell is the only one that comes fully developed at birth.
It remains the primary way children define the world until the age of 10, at which point - finally - sight takes over.
It’s the only sense directly connected to the amygdala and hippocampus, areas of your brain that process emotion and memory and these fragrances companies know this all too well.
Your sense of smell is one of your most primitive senses and is hard-wired deep into primitive areas of your brain.
According to Dr. Stuart Firestein of Columbia University, your olfactory system is very closely connected to your limbic system, which is said to contain your most basic drives.
So, it's not surprising that scent is powerfully connected to both emotion and memory.
If you’ve ever smelt a particular fragrance, food, or scent, and been taken immediately back to a different place and time, then you’ll know how true this is.
Product manufacturers know this too, and as a result fragrances are added to far more products than you may realise, often to mask the odour of noxious chemicals but also to appeal to your emotional side. | 151 | 2 | Loading... |

According to Dr. Stuart Firestein of Columbia University, your olfactory system is very closely connected to your limbic system, which is said to contain your most basic drives.
So, it's not surprising that scent is powerfully connected to both emotion and memory.
If you’ve ever smelt a particular fragrance, food, or scent, and been taken immediately back to a different place and time, then you’ll know how true this is.
Product manufacturers know this too, and as a result fragrances are added to far more products than you may realise, often to mask the odour of noxious chemicals but also to appeal to your emotional side. | 155 | 2 | Loading... |
34 To back up the fact that these fragrances are highly toxic to the human body many hotels have been hit with lawsuits where they have paid out millions people behind closed doors, where complaints have ranged from respiratory issues, headaches, skin irritation, insomnia, vomiting, and other adverse health problems.
In fact the Marriott was Hit with Class Action Over Alleged Use of ‘Dangerous Fragrances’ at Culver City Courtyard Hotel in January this year (2020), when a guest struggled to breath when exposed to their signature scent that was ironically put in place to, “enhance the guest’s experience”.
(Add this information to the prices hotels charge, and, its no wonder Air BnB is doing so well.)
However, avoiding toxic fragrances does not mean that you can’t smell nice when you go out, as natural options are available ...
... Although if you are sensitive keep in mind that botanical extracts can also cause reactions in some people.
Organic essential oils are one option you can use.
You can use them in a multitude of ways, and one way is add them to your own non-fragranced lotion or carrier oil such as coconut oil.
They may cost a little more, but they won’t pose the health risks of synthetic fragrances, and you actually only need to use a small amount to get the powerful healing benefits along with the fantastic smell of essential oils - for example one drop of peppermint essential oil is the equivalent to 19 cups of peppermint tea.
Of course, another option is to forgo fragrances entirely … in fact, a woman’s natural scent has been found to be more seductive than perfume, scoring another point for the power of nature!
Bear in mind fragrances and scents are only part of this story … with the majority of make ups, hair dyes, deodorants, moisturisers, facial creams etc all being hugely toxic to the human body too.
But that’s for another time.
So, if you want to create and maintain health, my advice would be to steer clear of conventional chemical based perfumes and fragrances, and opt for a natural alternative.
However, as always, the choice is yours.

37 Here’s the truth, as much as you may not want to hear it…
YOUR ILLNESS IS NOT UNIQUE.
It doesn’t require some special medication or procedure.
As much as the medical industry would love you to believe otherwise, you weren’t born with a deficiency in medication, and you don't need potions, lotions, pills, steroids or surgery to heal.
The reasons you are where you are, are completely down to you and the choices you have been making.
Obviously, NO ONE sets out to become ill.
Most people don’t realise what they are doing to themselves on a daily basis is going to cause severe problems.
They have no idea that living the modern life of rushing around, eating on the go, getting inadequate sleep, not exercising enough or exercising too hard too often, drinking multiple coffees a day to get them through the day, and dealing with overwhelming stress, as well as getting little to no mental rest is a recipe for a health disaster.
Add that to not drinking enough high-quality water, not eating enough high quality food, overexposure to EMF’s, using toxic personal care products and wearing poisonous fragrances daily, it's no wonder people are ill and exhausted.
Unfortunately due to the years of brainwashing we all undergo from a young age by the mainstream media and medical industry, people think that when they get ill it’s down to bad luck, because, “everyone lives like this, and they are ok”.
Well, stats would show otherwise. We are far from ok.
Despite all this amazing technology to make things quicker and easier, we are the sickest and fattest we’ve ever been.
But, that topic is for another day.
So, the question remains, why have you got chronic fatigue syndrome or diabetes when your friend Jackie has restless leg syndrome and Bob has dementia?
Well as Chris Kresser so wonderfully put it ...
“Here is a little disease equation I come up with, you take your genetic predisposition to disease, you add that to the modern lifestyle, and you come up with your chronic illness.
In layman’s terms what Chris is saying is, whether you have ...
... Diabetes, arthritis, IBS, depression, chronic fatigue, brain fog, constipation, cancer or any other chronic disease ....
Your genetic weakness has been exposed as a result of you living a modern lifestyle, away from how nature intended us to live.
Living the modern, super stressful lifestyle has left your body toxic, deficient, imbalanced, overstressed, exhausted and inflamed.
I bet you are wondering how most people don’t get sick sooner?
Well, the body is a miraculous thing and if you have a strong constitution you may get away with living this way for years, but eventually, the body will get worn down, and you will have to pay the price.
The pain teacher will come, and if you want to heal and get to the root of your issue(s) and not be confined to a life of drugs and hospital visits, you’ll have to start living differently and in line with the laws of mother nature.
Lucky for you though, if you do this the body will heal.
It will not matter whether you have a Acne, Fibromyalgia or Crohn’s disease, because the way you heal one thing is the way you heal everything. (Apart from a few nuances.)
You can take all the medication and look for all the quick fixes, but unless you get to the root of your issue(s), you will only get temporary relief.
And, by continuing to push hard and not listen to your body, you will make things worse in the long run, which will ultimately end in a big crash that could even be life threatening.
(I have seen this too many times to count.)
Therefore, you can keep on taking the medication, never getting better, slowly poisoning your system even more, never overcoming your affliction, and watching as your performance and health continues to decrease, or ...
You can make the necessary changes to your diet and lifestyle so you can get long term results and optimal health, which will allow you to fully heal and get back to performing your best.
To do this you have to :
- slow down,
- reduce overall stress,
- eliminate inflammation, | 177 | 1 | Loading... |
38 - heal, seal and repopulate the gut,
- expel toxins from the body,
- get the correct amount of movement,
- have time for introspection,
- find joy in life, &
- have a purpose bigger than yourself.
Do those things, no matter what your “unique” diagnosis and the body will respond.
I’ve seen it first-hand time and time again.
You will learn exactly how to do all of the above in a simple to follow, step by step proven process, in my Total Health Revival Course.
We take away all the guess work, stress, confusion and overwhelm, so you can stop frantically researching what to do, and instead put your energy into getting and feeling better.
This way you will be back to performing your best in the shortest time possible.

40 If you want to get healthy, you must stop comparing yourself to other people and their journey.
Most people have vastly different lifestyles, stressors, genes, genetic predispositions, constitutions, sleep patterns, ancestors, environments, detox abilities & diets to yourself, so comparing them to you is futile.
Dr Roger Williams who wrote the book, ‘Biochemical Individuality’, described anatomical and physiological variations among people and how they related to their individual responses to the environment.
He was the first to gain recognition for the term "biochemical individuality" and how this related to differing nutritional needs for optimal function among different people.
He pointed out that even identical twins could be different in their needs for optimal function based upon the fact that they developed in different environments in utero.
Although identical twins share the same genes, their differing nutrition and developmental environments can result in different expression of the genes as they grow older.
So, if that’s true of identitical twins, imagine what it means for you, who’s comparing themselves to your friend Peggy/Dave?
Exactly!
Always remember, you are a study of one and should be treated as such.
Your lifestyle and particular set if circumstances mean you are going to have to find what works for you, and no one else.
This doesn’t mean you’ll need a wildly different approach, just that you will need to fine tune aspects of a healthy holistic lifestyle to suit your needs.
You may need more time for introspection than most.
You may need a diet higher in protein than most.
You may need 8 hours of sleep instead of 7.
You may need to detox 3 times year instead of once.
Whatever it is, pay attention to your body and listen when it speaks …
And remember to stop comparing yourself to others.

If you’ve been feeling like your energy has been low lately due to the situation we find ourselves in, then my guess is you’re not alone.
The only way out of that rut though, is through action.
By doing the things we enjoy we start to
raise our Qi, (otherwise known as our internal energy).
This new lease of energy then gives us the drive to do more of the things we love.
It’s a cyclical pattern that you have probably experienced before.
Therefore, my question to you is ...
What can you do today that will give your internal energy a boost?
Will it be ...
... performing a hobby you enjoy?
... listening to music you love?
... getting a great work out in?
… performing some Qi going?
… getting a massage?
… spending time with people you love?
... or maybe spending time in nature?
It doesn’t really matter what it is ... as long as it lights that internal spark.
So, have a great start to the weekend and let me know in the comments below what you’ll be doing today to boost your internal energy.
Over to you ...

Every day for the last 15 years I have had consultations with people where I’m truly shocked by the advice they have been given by the medical industry.
Fobbing people off from one “specialist” to another, all while the patient gets worse and worse, until they are so sick they can’t leave the house....
Or until the are so ill they are a shell of their former self, and they feel that life isn’t worth living anymore.
What makes it worse is because they are covered my medical insurance, these doctors never truly pay for their countless negligence.
It’s time the general public knew just how huge the difference is between people who are experts in creating health, and those that specialise in disease.
It’s only because we’ve been brought up believing that medical doctors are Demi gods, that we give their methods and opinions so much power.
My question is…
“How many times do they have to fail, and how many people have to die, before this perception changes?”
Luckily, some of us go through our own health crisis and come out the other side, and we are awoken to the fact of how little the majority of doctors know about health ...
... and it leads us on a journey of discovery where we are then able to help others over come their health struggles.
The harsh truth is ...
You don’t need a medical degree to know how to create health.
In fact, in my experience, it’s the exact opposite of what you need.
What the public needs to recognise is that passing 7 years of tests on how to medicate, or radiate some close to death doesn’t make you an expert on health ...
... it makes you an expert in trying (and often failing) to mask the symptoms of disease for profit.

P.S. I actually don’t enjoy writing these post, but even though every day I encounter stories from people where doctors have given truly shocking advice, every now and again I hear a story that moves me close to tears, and yesterday was one of those days.

Does this sound familiar?
It did for me.
However, I made my peace long ago with not blending into the crowd.
I’ll always be happy going left when society tells me to go right, especially if my gut tells me to.
Listening to my gut is how I managed to heal myself.
I knew deep down life wasn’t meant to be lived in constant pain.
I knew there was more to life than simply surviving.
Listening to my gut lead me to search for answers.
That search ultimately led me to where I am today ... happy, healthy and able to help others out of their chronic health issues, even when everything else has failed them.
To be honest, my intrinsic gut feeling has never been wrong before.
Has yours?
Listening to my intuition lead me on the path to truth, growth and happiness.
So follow your gut.
Be yourself.
And, if you find the majority of society looking at you funny, or disagreeing with your opinions or approach, then you’re probably doing something right!
Onwards & Upwards

Hormonal contraceptives and hormone replacement therapies are classified as carcinogenic to humans (group 1) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
Class 1 means that it is a known substance that causes cancer in humans.
In fact, it was in 2007 that the International Agency for Research on Cancer said that based on consistent evidence from studies in recent years, it was reclassifying hormonal menopause therapy from “possibly carcinogenic” to “carcinogenic.”
The declaration from the World Health Organisation’s cancer agency, (which is widely regarded as the international authority on cancer-causing agents), came after several high-profile studies linking combination hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, to breast cancer.
The analysis, conducted by a panel of 21 scientists, concluded that estrogen and progestin therapy for menopause also increased the risk of endometrial cancer.
The agency had also previously determined that the Pill combining estrogen and progestin can cause liver cancer, and further research has now demonstrated that it also increases the risk of breast and cervical cancer.
There is also research showing that the Pill could be linked to increased death rates of women between the ages of 35-44.
Shocking right?
It’s even more shocking when you look at the stats and find out that the Pill has been taken by over 200 million women.
It is currently prescribed to 3.5 million British women today, with one-quarter of all 16 – 49 year-olds using it.
What’s worse is that not all of these women are using the Pill to stop conception.
The Pill is also prescribed for irregular periods, PCOS, endometriosis, acne, menstrual cramps, and low estrogen conditions – all of which could instead be managed by diet and lifestyle changes.
If you are reading this as someone who’s been taking the Pill, I bet you weren’t told about these dangers by your GP when the Pill was prescribed to you?
In fact, I personally have spoken to countless women who have been using this drug for over a decade or even two, and none of them were aware of the associated risks and dangers.
The truth is there are many drugs that can cause cancer, including cancer-fighting chemotherapies, immune-suppressing medications, and radiation therapy …
…. and if you’re going to take drugs with the potential to cause you harm, you should be aware of all the risks …
And, when it comes to the Pill, Cancer is just one of those risks.
So, if you want to find out more about the Pill I have two fantastic interviews you can listen to, both of which are with world-leading experts on this topic.
You can find these interviews on my podcast Revive Yourself with Ryan Martin at iTunes, YouTube or Spotify.
The titles are:
Episode 131 – Revive Yourself – Dr. Jolene Brighten Author of Beyond The Pill
Episode 120 – Revive Yourself – Jane Bennett Author Of ‘The Pill: Are Your Sure It’s For You’
These interviews will give you a clearer picture of the true dangers of the Pill, as well as the other options available to couples who want to enjoy their sex life but who are not looking to conceive …
… for example, one simple non-invasive method is extraction, which has a 97% success rate.
(I was surprised at that stat when I first heard it too.)
Either way, if you’ve been taking the Pill for a month, or for an extended period of time, then I thought it was best you knew the truth about the damage it could do.
What you do with that information is up to you.
