all the scientific research and public awareness of womens health
issues there is a huge amount of information coming at us everyday.
I am sure you know what I mean. One day you read about a stunning new medical study that indicates increased milk consumption is a risk factor for ovarian cancer risk (1,2)...
Who do you believe? What do you do?
"Eliminate Women's Health Frustrations?"
What the Experts Aren't Telling You! If you are like most, your answers are moderation and balance - nothing in extremes. The problem with this thinking is that it sounds good in theory, but in practice you may get lost. For example, there is no guidance in knowing what is too little or too much? Also you rely on hunches and feelings about what is right. Too often when you say that you believe that life is about balance, what you are really saying is that it is too much trouble to make health changes. It is a surrender to the hopelessness of attaining optimal health. It is settling for second best, until a powerful marketing message is heard. I'm sure you have been there with the rest of us...we're all guilty of the "I should know better syndrom"... Does this sound familiar...you know that diets don't work, but the
"losing 10 lbs and eat what you want" marketing message is too compelling
and before you know it your trying the latest Hollywood diet - and
of course you rationalize to your friends that it is just for fun! Does the story sound familiar? At the very least you may know a friend or two like this drifting from one extreme to the other (i.e. from a enthusiastic commitment to become healthy vs. a depressed surrender to eat what you want when you want comfort of food) Well, if you are, do not give up! Not all is lost - the concept of balance is a powerful pathway to womens health. The good news is that if you are thinking about balance your 1/2 way to optimal health and all the benefits of having a lean, energetic body, a clear mind and a calm, cool and optimistic attitude on life. The other 1/2 part is what this website is all about... it will
give you cutting edge powerful strategies of how to think, train
and eat for a lifetime of health and vitality. Are you doing everything right, but not getting what you what?elieve me when I tell you that if you are struggling for results the "law of reverse effect" is undermining your goals. Over the last 15 years I have been involved in creating training and coaching strategies for individuals, groups and organizations. When you're able to overcome the "law of reverse effect" you break through personal self limiting beliefs about what you can and can not do. As an expert in transformational learning, I have had the privilege to work with international health and wellness experts and have been able to confirm with them the critical importance on the "law of reverse effect". Have you notice when really powerful experts, who command attention as soon as they start to speak, share a similar quality when they teach something? They do not only tell you what to do - they also tell you what not to do! This is a simple, but powerful truth - it lies at the heart of the law of reverse effect. The law of reverse effect is one concept that can open your eyes and release the frustration of your womens health struggles. Many of the women I work with ask the same question "I am doing all the right things, why am I not getting the results". The answer is always the same - doing the right thing is simply not good enough! You know the infamous "Just Do It" slogan, right? Well the truth is "doing it" is not going to work for life-long strategy of healthy and vitality! Thanks to the law of reverse effect, just "doing it" will always lead to burn-out. That is why so many people who start a diet, and achieve a level of success, almost always end-up at a weight greater than before the diet. You do one thing, and end up achieving the opposite result! It results in the womens health yo-yo. Let me explain the essence of the "law of reverse effect"... First, I can say with complete confidence that you know what "law of reverse effect " is - it exists in almost everything we do. Think of it like trying to fill a bathtub. Let's sat you turn the faucet on, but the bathtub fills only to a certain level and the water level does not rise despite that the water is still running. You immediately notice that the drain is not fitted properly. So you adjust the drain plug and the bathtub fills-up. Did you get the point that I am trying to make? Everything you do and everything in life has a draining force. In systems theory, it is called "limits to growth". Nothing grows forever; there will always be a restraining force. Populations grow by increased birth rates, but are limited (restrained) by death rates. Have you ever had an experience when you started to exercise there was alot of initial progress? But soon after the initial rapid change, the rate of improvement started to flatten out and there was very little improvement - it's sort of like hitting a glass ceiling! Sound familiar? Well this is the "law of reverse effect" in action! It so frustrating because you are doing all the "right" things - do you know what I mean? Understanding the restraining and draining forces in your life is critical for a lifetime of health. It is something that the health industry very seldomly speaks of - they perfer to keep telling you to "work harder" and a cheerlead you on to one strategy to the next. Unfortunately, very few womens health experts stress the importants of the draining forces to your womens health. That is what this website will give you, it will give the ability to adjust the "drain plug" so the level of your health will overflow:

What if I told you none of these questions and concerns really matters? That's right, it really does not matter if you learn to see the big picture and what it means to have health.
