See Your Toes Again
Are you tired of following mainstream methods to lose weight? do you have a chronic mental illness that the drugs & therapy just aren't helping?
If you have found yourself in midlife with a few extra love-handles that won't budge, and a brain that seems to feel depressed (or worse), then this podcast channel is designed with you in mind.
You're not alone. There is a direct relationship between middle-age, extra body weight and mental illness. With the help of my guests, I hope to show you ways that you can take control of your life again, and return to a body that is fit, healthy and happy.
We don't burn incense. You don't need to grow hairy legs and we don't use gongs to help you feel better (you can if you want, but that's not how our systems work).
Come listen to my guests, who have lost loads of weight, or they have overcome mental illness, and have become healthy and energetic as a result.
Chronic mental illnesses such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and even Parkinson's have all be forced back into remission by my guests who can talk the talk because they have personally walked the walk!
You can control your own illnesses too. You just need to know how. And I promise that calorie-restriction is generally not part of our conversation.
Physical chronic illnesses can include heart disease, high blood pressure, so called "high cholesterol", lack of energy, arthritis, gout, and type 2 diabetes, to scratch the surface. These methods can also help you control your type 1 diabetes.
This is a podcast all about improving your health, both physically & mentally.
My guests & I discuss ways you can regain your health, regardless of your chronic illness, or even if you are just not happy with your current weight.
My podcasts discuss all the ways that you can increase your health, lose significant body fat, tone up, restore your hormonal balances and take charge of your life.
I'll also discuss exercises and all sorts of subjects related to your health and well-being.
Please also read my book, also called See Your Toes Again, available exclusively on Amazon.
My caveat: if you are on medication, please do not attempt to cease your medications until you have spoken with your specialist, and they are confident your health has improved enough that you don't need to use them anymore.
I am not a qualified medical specialist, and neither are most of my guests. We are just normal people who have obtained abnormal results!

Podcast 33 : Tackling Schizophrenia & Obesity with Harmony Bright – Part 1
Part 1: How would you cope if you were diagnosed early in your life with schizophrenia? This followed years of anxiety, hallucinations, and other serious mental illnesses to the extent that she was prescribed an assortment of drugs to help her cope.
But the drugs had two major side effects; (a) they made her drowsy to the extent that the simplest of tasks became nearly impossible, and her memory was almost non-existent, and (b) the meds also made her seriously increase her weight.
She ended up morbidly obese, weighing 273 lb (124kg, or 18 stone). She was so heavy that both of her knees required surgery, and the vertebrae in her neck had also collapsed, so they needed surgery too.
It was at this darkest time that Harmony had to make a serious decision; continue on her current path & accept a slow, debilitating, painful road to an imminent death, or fight back.
This is the story of an incredibly brave woman who took matters into her own hands. Listen to Harmony as she explains her fight to win her life back.
The entire conversation is 1 hour & 30 minutes so I have divided it into 2 parts. Part 1 is on Podcast 33, and Part 2 immediately follows on Podcast 34.
I hope you enjoy Harmony’s story. I hope that it inspires you to take action, even when the chips are down & life is dealing you plenty of hard blows. If you are suffering like Harmony was, I hope her story will show you that there is light at the end of the tunnel, but you will have to reach out and grab it! Her story is not without sweat, tears and lots of hard work. The best time to start is today. Harmony’s story will inspire you to take that first step.
Please note that at no time in this podcast do we suggest you change any of your prescribed medications without seeking advice from your doctor first. Neither I nor my guest are medical experts. This conversation is our opinions only, and does not constitute medical advice in any form. If you want to make changes to your life, please don’t stop your current medications until you have been allowed to do so by your physician!
