I always find it strange that people will work so hard at their diet or so hard at their exercise regime and decide they need a reward - only to have that reward undo some (if not all) of the hard work they have just done.

Money is definitely one of the biggest stressors for many, many people. The biggest problem most people have in regards to their money is that they just bury their heads in the sand. It all just seems too hard, so they avoid stressing about their money problems by ignoring them completely. Unfortunately this never works. Because of the nature of money and expenses, you are forced to confront these fears every day whether you want to or not, and the more you try and ignore them the bigger the problem becomes.
Where do you find out about health information? I mean really think about it: where have you learnt most of the health stuff you know? When you truly consider this, you will realise that much of it came from newspapers, TV, advertising, friends/family and the Internet.

People often ask me if it is ‘worth’ going to see their doctor or ‘worth’ going to see a podiatrist or ‘worth’ going and seeing a naturopath about a specific condition or problem. They are often surprised when my answer invariably comes back as a yes. People tend to think that because I’m a wellness expert and columnist, I have all the answers and that I wouldn’t want to them to go and get a second opinion that may differ from mine.
