25.01.2022 Once upon a time there was a little baby, she was perfect (we all are), because babies are miraculous and perfect. This little baby girl was soaking up the wor...ld around her and learning her body and her world. Sometimes she got uncomfortable feelings and she cried. Her parents would try and work out how to make her feel better because they loved her. Sometimes the thing that made her feel better was helping her burp, sometimes it was changing her nappy, sometimes it was feeding her and sometimes she needed to sleep, sometimes nothing helped and she got cuddles and comfort until she settled. Over time her parents learned her signs and her routine and they got better at providing the right solution at the right time. Little baby girl learned that the world was safe and predictable, people would help her feel good in her body and she could get on with growing up and exploring her world. She talked, she laughed, she played and climbed and ran. She made friends and painted and drew. She read and acted and grew and danced. She lived, wholeheartedly. As she grew up her needs became a bit more complex but essentially she was loved, sheltered, fed, comforted and she could get on with growing and learning. And then. One terrible day she learned that some bodies are good and hers wasnt, she learnt that she needed to keep an eye on it and be careful. Maybe it was the day when someone told her you probably shouldnt wear that, its not flattering. Maybe it was the day the doctor told her mum that she was overweight and they should be careful because she might be just like her dad. Maybe it was the day that the cute, but not very nice, boy said I would never go out with someone that looks like you Maybe it was the day she got picked last for the sport team and someone made the comment that it was because she was fat. Whatever the cause, that day her body became untrustworthy, something to be controlled, an object to be observed rather than an instrument to do amazing things. The world was no longer a safe and reliable place, that was kind and predictable. Some people were treated better than others, and she wasnt in that group. So she set about controlling her body like she had been told to do. It was good for her health, after all, wasnt it? She was careful with her food. She avoided her favourites. She took less than she would have otherwise. She filled up on the good foods, the healthy foods. She was tired. She was hungry. And so she ate. She ate her favourites. She ate far more than she would ever have eaten before. She ate none of the good foods, the healthy foods. She felt sick. She felt guilty. They were right her body wasnt trustworthy, she did have to be careful, to keep an eye on things. She started again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And then she couldnt do it anymore. She was done. And then one day she met a non-diet dietitian. She sat down and she started to cry. She didnt understand what was going on. But this person listened to her, she felt heard and held, understood, sheltered, comforted. She felt healing happening. She felt herself coming back to her body. Her body was trustworthy. Her body was wise. Her body had been trying to keep her alive. She understood. She was perfect (we all are). She started to listen to her body again. She talked, she laughed, she played and climbed and ran. She made friends and painted and drew. She read and acted and grew and danced. She lived, wholeheartedly. #nondiet #HAES #OnceUponATime

23.01.2022 Heres a great read by one of my colleagues on Pete Evans Paleo Diet

22.01.2022 Big shout out to Jared Timms for becoming the 100th Liker of the Ambition Health Facebook page!

22.01.2022 Good morning Redcliffe!

21.01.2022 An interesting explanation of the science of weight loss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGKLpYtZ19Q

21.01.2022 Every single day at work I see women who are unhappy with the bodies they are living in. In fact, I would suspect that nearly every person that comes to see me feels this way. I will probably never be able to fully appreciate what it is like for women to feel the pressure to look a certain way in the world we live in today. I am however learning more and more everyday from the clients who seek my help. I do have a simple message for any woman who lives with even the slightest... level of body dissatisfaction. GO SEE THIS FILM! In fact I implore you to see this film. It explores a very important narrative that is often drowned out by the prevailing idea that the shape or size of our bodies is somehow indicative of our health or our value as a human being. Go see it today or tomorrow. Dont put it off! In Brisbane you can only see it at Place Cinemas (www.palacecinemas.com.au)

06.01.2022 Is it possible to spend less time worrying about your body and food choices, and start enjoying what you eat? Thats exactly what Fiona Sutherland, an Accredite...d Practising Dietitian, tells her clients and her advice is based on sound evidence and experience. Life doesnt need to be stressful around food. Fiona helps people learn to listen to and connect with their bodies, and eat in a more relaxed way to nourish body & mind. The result? Learning to love eating again and having a more positive relationship with your body. Dont just take our word for it hear from Fiona herself. Then, spread the word: tag a friend and share the video!

03.01.2022 Exactly 12 months ago today, Ambition Health opened its doors. I am so happy that I took the risk to go out on my own, but I have had tremendous support along the way. There are too many to thank individually, but I will mention my family, close friends, wonderful clients, supportive colleagues and my professional mentor - thank you all! I love my job and Ambition Health has allowed me to continue to follow my passion for empowering others to improve their health. I am very excited about the future of Ambition Health! Cheers, Mitch

03.01.2022 Getting tired of the same old flavours at dinner time? Make your evening meals much more interesting for your taste buds by adding some fresh herbs. Growing your own at home is much cheaper than buying them from the supermarket too!
