Lauren Hill - Nutrition Movement Health

Be aware of who you’re getting advice from online. It’s so important we do our due diligence before doing what someone online tells us what to do or take things when we have no idea about the quality & safety of what we are taking. Can if be harmful? Are there other medications or supplements you are taking that could react? Do you have a condition where taking this could make it worse?
Do I take supplements? Absolutely. Do I know what I take it for and where each one comes from? Absolutely.
Right now we are being bombarded with advice, pills and potions to help with everything from perimenopause to Ozempic style weight loss. The sad truth is, they target our insecurities and get us at our weakest. They over promise and under deliver.
The most common one I see several times a day is people asking
“What shake or pill can I take for weight loss?”
Sorry, there’s simply no magic answer. None will magically make you drop weight overnight while you do nothing else. Some will support digestion, balance blood sugar, fill you with fibre (domestic much) or provide a caffeine stimulant for energy & focus. But you still need to do the work!
And again, what is the quality of what you’re getting?

Stop making excuses and book in a time to work on yourself. Weekly sessions to focus on becoming the best, strongest, healthiest you!
With over 10 years experience as a qualified PT and Health coach working with a wide range of clients I can definitely help you.
I work from home, locally in Ellerslie and am very close to the motorway off ramp & bus routes. So no excuse, I’m literally on your way home.
Get in touch and let’s get started.

A few truths that may make you angry to read. But marketing and social media flood us with posts and advertisements that target our insecurities and weaknesses. They saddle up next to you like a long lost friend and lead you to believe they have all the answers to your problems.

For the people in the back row, muscle does NOT weigh more than fat!!! Do I need to say it again? If you jump on the scales and see an increase in 2kg. Sorry, but going to the gym 3x a week for 3 weeks didn’t build 2kg of muscle. I wish we did build muscle that fast and quickly, but you don’t! Muscle is more dense, takes up less room and is firm. Fat is jelly like and wobbly and spills out. And this is why muscular people look lean and toned. Theres less wobbly fat. But gain a kg of muscle or fat, the scale will increase by a kg.
So what does it mean if you are working out and eating healthy but the scales go up?
Chances are;
🥪 You’re not actually tracking food. Weigh & measure your food. Stop guessing because chances are you’re eating more = more calories
🤓 Read labels. Healthy, high protein, low carb, high fibre. Does not automatically mean you can eat as much as you like.
💧You have had water, food or need a 💩
🧂You had a salty meal.

If you’re serious about getting fitter, healthier or dropping a few kg’s then let’s chat. If you’re going to give me excuses, cancel last minute and not follow my advice, then maybe hit the unfollow. I love seeing clients achieve their goals whatever they are are. I’m big on helping clients evolve into the best version of themselves. I love hearing that they have more mobility, more strength, more energy or have better health results! That’s the stuff I love, person centred personal training I guess you could say…. Allowing my clients to find that inner voice, that inner drive and power. I can be the sign post, but ultimately my clients are driving the car.
So let’s work together to achieve something amazing

I’m back this week. Just not Friday 🫣 I have some counselling sessions for an assignment that need filming and then I’m catching up with a friend who will probably end up being my counsellor!!! Looking forward to getting back to comfortable and familiar work. And seeing everyone 🥰🥰 please let me know if you can’t make a session so I can utilise the time.

I’m back to student mode next week 👩🏼‍🎓
Little bit nervous with a ready to proceed assessment (hopefully day1!) no sessions this week so enjoy your week of self directed fitness 🤭😉

Health is not just focusing on one area and expecting everything else to follow. And I get that makes things feel overwhelming. But in order to be your best for yourself and for the ones you love, you need to be strong in all areas. Then when one area weakens, we can identify it and correct it before our whole wellbeing crumbles.
Pick where you need to start and go from there, is it eating better? Removing alcohol?
Prioritising sleep or being active. And this doesn’t need to be a huge change. You may start walking daily, tracking food, not keeping alcohol in the house. Once you get one area under control, incorporate another.
Like ripples spread wide in a calm pond of water, so do good habits.
Then it’s about being consistent with your intention

I may be a training counsellor, but for now I’m still a qualified PT and Health coach and I’d love to work with you. Online or in person. Nutrition and or fitness, let’s get you back on track!
