December is often considered a time of endings because its the month that closes off the year that's gone. I prefer to think of it as a time of new beginnings as its the month when many people and organisations are starting their planning for the year ahead.

With that in mind, I want to share some of the changes that are happening with Genesis Health & Lifestyle Solutions and what that means for you, my loyal clients and followers.

Everyone experience stressful periods throughout their lives, but unfortunately, many people are under more stress than ever. The human body can only withstand so much, which can lead to the condition known as ‘burnout’.

Humans are social creatures with fundamental needs to belong and be connected with other human beings.  We are 'herd or pack animals' that operate as one part of an intricately woven community that includes our friends, family, workplace or other cultural or community groups. 

It is important when looking at ways to improve our health and wellbeing that we look beyond our physical needs, like diet, sleep and exercise, to also consider our emotional and social needs. 

Sleep is something that can make or break how we go through life. If you’re not sleeping well, you won’t be as creative, productive or resilient as you could be. So if quality sleep is evading you, here are my top five tips to help you get a good rest at night.

High performing organisations need high performing staff; that’s just a given nowadays.  But did you know that one of the ways we can assist our people to be high performing is to make sure they have a healthy gut?

To have the capacity to be creative, solution oriented, innovative and resilient we need good brain function and if you want a brain that functions optimally, the best place to start is the gut. Although it may not be apparent at first, the gut and brain are very closely linked.  Good gut health naturally supports your mood, cognition and mental performance.

The food that we eat can influence how the brain operates. Some foods can interfere with how the brain works. However, if you focus your diet on the nutrients that the brain needs, you can support optimal brain function improving your cognition, mood, sleep, creativity and innovation.

If I had a dollar for every time I hear a busy professional say how they are tired and how they struggle to get through the day, I’d be a very rich girl indeed.
