HOW BALANCED DO YOU FEEL?

CHOOSE THE DEGREE TO WHICH YOU AGREE WITH THESE STATEMENTS:

    I HAVE MOOD SWINGS OR DIFFICULTY CONCENTRATING.

    I OFTEN HAVE ENERGY SLUMPS DURING THE DAY OR AFTER MEALS.

    I HAVE LESS ENERGY THAN I USED TO.

    I AM GAINING WEIGHT/ FINDING IT HARDER TO LOSE WEIGHT.

    I NEED COFFEE, TEA, A CIGARETTE OR SOMETHING SWEET TO GET ME GOING.

    It’s no wonder you feel like you’re dragging yourself through the day. It sounds as though your blood sugar levels are out of balance. That accounts for the energy rollercoaster you are experiencing. The answer to improving those areas you scored badly for is in changing what you eat, specifically by moving to a low Glycaemic Load (GL) blood sugar balancing diet. Get in touch for more details on my blood sugar balancing programmes.
    You feel so-so. I guess you are operating from ‘ordinary’. Some days you feel great, others less so. But that’s normal, right? You don’t need to just manage. If you’re not already on a pretty decent diet, consider auditing what you’re eating to see where you can start to bring in improvements. Breakfast and snacks are often the weak spot in my clients’ diets.
    You are already springing out of bed at least some of the time, and that is great. Consider how you can fine tune your diet (perhaps by cutting back on stimulants like tea and coffee) to give yourself a boost. Squeezing in an extra exercise session, or taking time out just for you..

    What does your overall picture look like?

    The results should speak for themselves when it comes to highlighting the areas that need the most work. If you scored the minimum (or close to the minimum) in more than two areas, it really is worth prioritising your health. Even if you feel you have a long way to go, just start. It doesn’t matter how big the first change is, just that you make it. Once that starts to feel OK, change something else. The fast track through all of this is to come and work with me on a nutrition coaching programme, where we can take a look at your current level of health and wellness, consider any symptoms you may be experiencing, and work together to create a step-by-step programme for you to follow. Different levels of support are available.

    If you are in the middle group – you’ve done OK generally, some areas are better than others. Where can you do more? Are you using ‘it could be worse’ as a reason for not taking 100% responsibility for all areas of your health? I would invite you to prioritise one area of nutrition, health and wellbeing, work yourself down a list of improvements you could be making in that area, and get yourself firing on all cylinders.

    If you scored highly in the quiz, do not rest on your laurels. You’re feeling pretty darn good – but could things get even better? Even among the high flyers, it’s likely that you scored slightly lower on one area than another. Work on that. Or maybe you are so healthy that you got the perfect 20/20. Very well done. But there will be something you know that you are not doing so well on, but it turns out I didn’t ask … You know what I’m talking about. Look to fixing that.
