Looking for your edge? Let's Biohack Your Health! This post is for YOU if: -You're ready to optimize your health and maximize your potential. -You track your bio-markers and invest in self-care. -You're an athlete, a biohacker, or a high performer looking for that extra edge. -You WANT to prevent future health issues and live a long, vibrant life. This post may NOT be for you if: -You're mostly focused on body positivity at the expense of your health. -You've tried every fad diet under the sun but can't seem to stick with anything. -You're looking for a quick fix, summer body, or a magic bullet solution. -Your goal is to find out if my services are covered by insurance🙄 Here's the truth: working with people who are already invested in their health is way more rewarding (and less draining!) than constantly battling people who are resistant to change or living in victim mode. Do you see the difference? If you're ready to take your health seriously and biohack your way to a better life, let's chat! P.S. Sometimes, the biggest hurdle is acknowledging the need for change.

Pretty happy with the turnout at last nights, Westfund, health, wealth, and wellness event. The two corporate presenters in the room, other than Westfund Health Insurance were, Michael Randall from Unity Bank Limited and Trent Armbrust AFP® from Mine Super and made use of the large digital screens and presented their informative talks utilising this tool. ✅ And there was me leading the way as first speaker with my little flipchart, delivering my message in the way I deliver small group training. HA ⭐️⭐️ Hey, it still worked but note to self, next time, prepare for the correct amount of people and probably would have been best to have a big digital screen,( this event being about 70 people. ) Pretty funny really, to be honest, I don’t think anyone really noticed, the crowd was more on the ageing side and seemed pretty happy to just listen to what I had to say. 😍 My topic- ‘ Thriving Through Turbulence ‘ I talked about , In order to create a greater sense of health, well-being and deal with stressful times the following 3 secrets apply, based on my own experience, of course. 1- Aware :- We cannot fix what we are unaware of. Body , stop, ignoring it, your body talks to you, are you listening? Resilience, notice what you have been through , you are already a survivor. When your next challenge arrives, and it will , draw on this inner strength and know that you already have what it takes to thrive and survive in turbulent times. 2- Response - Short for responsibility, Where are you taking responsibility for your physical, mental and psychological health and where are you not? 3- Commit - Find the things in life that give you peace. Tap into a sense of spirit, whatever that means to you. Make yourself your first priority , self-love is the only way to truly achieve the greatest level of health and well-being. We ended in a beautiful shared experience of a ‘ mindful muscle relaxation process ‘, pretty sure I saw a few sleepy nods, but at least they were relaxed right ! A huge thank you again to Janine Curran and the team at Westfund for an awesome community evening and a thank you to my fellow speakers, we did great Yay ! #sandraleightraining #healthyofficebodies #healthymindhealthybody #workplacewellbeing

💔 Why People Don't Change & Heal One of the most important revelations I've had in recent years in my business (and my personal life) is that some people just don't want to change their health. Or said differently, they are not ready to change...yet. They might have the thought, the intention, the desire, the need to change, but when it comes right down to it, some people are just not willing to take the necessary action steps to move forward and make those shifts happen. People often come up with very creative "stories" that they tell themselves and others around them so that they don't have to change. So they can feel safe. Stay in the comfortable. Stay in known. Stay in the familiar. Stay in the easy. Stay in the predictable. Stay the same. Even though they deeply don't want to stay the same. Here's a list of the most common "stories" and grievances I've heard over the years that keep people stuck or trapped in the "comfortable, so uncomfortable" health circumstances..."  *It's not the right time.  *I am so busy.  *My kids have too much going on. *My job is just so demanding and stressful. *I am traveling so much these days (i.e. business, vacations)  *My life is just too complicated right now. *I've tried "everything" and I'm still not healed. *I'm already paying so much for health insurance, yet I'm not getting what I need.

The past few weeks have been especially hard on my mental health. I have spent countless hours looking for support and yet almost no one either accepts my specific insurance, or accepts insurance at all due to the process of getting reimbursed, making any support of mental health support unachievable. As more spotlight is put on employee wellness and well-being are any companies actually using their influence to change what resources are available? I can promise you most employees would prefer access to the mental health support they need over a webinar about how to prioritize... #mentalhealthsupport #wellnessjourney

*"Top 10 Health Mistakes You Might Be Making: Don't Let These Slip-Ups Stand in the Way of Your Well-being! 💪 #HealthAwareness #WellnessWisdom"* 1. **Not Seeing the Doc Regularly**: Some people don't bother going in for check-ups and tests that can catch health problems early when they're easier to treat. 2. **Playing Doctor Online**: Thanks to the internet, some people think they can diagnose and treat themselves by looking stuff up online. But that info might be way off or even dangerous. 3. **Ignoring Symptoms**: Some folks pretend like symptoms aren't a big deal or put off going to the doc, letting serious issues get even worse. eg: blood in urine /blood in stools 4. **Slacking on Medicines**: It's pretty common for peeps to not take their medicines like they're supposed to, use old prescription for new problems without advice from doctors, skip doses, or stop taking them without talking to a doctor, buying medicine from pharmacywithout drs consultation- and that's not good for their health. 5. *Hiding health facts*: with doctors especially before surgery, discuss in detail about your past health condition (history of surgery, fall, medicines) 6. **Lifestyle Choices**: Not paying attention to how stuff like eating, working out, smoking, and partying might affect health can lead to problems that could've been avoided. 7. *Health Insurance*: Lots of folks don't really take advantage of all the covered stuff their insurance offers, missing out on things that could keep them healthy. Hiding facts while taking insurance can lead to unsuccessful claims . 8. **Taking Shortcuts**: Skipping out on finding a good doc and instead going for quick fixes like alternative medicine tricks can make things worse. 9. **Ignoring Mental Health**: Taking care of mental health is super important, but lots of people don't reach out for help and end up making their other health issues even worse. 10. **Not Standing Up for Yourself**: Just going along with what the doc says without really getting it or getting a second opinion sometimes means not getting the best care.

🌟 As we approach World Health Day on April 7th, let's pause and remember: your career matters, but your health is essential. Striking a balance between work and well-being should be a top priority. Take a moment to prioritize yourself. Consider arranging a medical check-up, even if you're feeling fine. Prevention is key to maintaining good health and addressing issues before they escalate. Personal health habits are a journey, and I'm learning to place greater emphasis on my well-being over time. Thanks to the private health insurance provided by Qinshift, I've become more proactive about arranging medical appointments in the past two years. To all my colleagues and everyone reading this, remember to take care of yourself! Better health leads to better results at work. 💛 #WorldHealthDay #HealthIsWealth #SelfCare #WellBeing #CareerAndHealth #Qinshift

Medical and dental insurance are great, but they are often reactive in response to our health conditions. What if we provided our employees with more proactive tools to address their health? Currently, only around 10% of companies offer assistance with gym memberships, which is too low in my opinion. Your staff should have affordable access to exercise, and wellness programs with education on nutrition, access to lifestyle coaches, and more should be the norm. We don't want our population solely relying on IG and TikTok snippets, as there are many diet fads that pop up every year and mislead people into unhealthy "quick fixes." Moreover, only 15% of companies offer access to financial counseling to their employees. Did you know that there's a direct correlation between physical health and financial stress? Financial stress can manifest through physical symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, migraines, compromised immune systems, digestive issues, and more. Money problems can also lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms and addiction, as well as overeating or undereating. Let's focus on creating a healthier population by expanding what we offer to our staff. By doing so, we can improve their quality of life, boost productivity, and reduce the bottom line. #voluntarybenefits #betterbenefitprograms #AssuredPartners
