The first article is about hair analysis and what it reveals about your body. I am a big fan of hair tissue samples because it is the only test that shows how your body has been acting over a three month period. Through analysing the hair you can see toxic metals levels as well as those of each nutrient within the body. The test does not show what is happening at cellular level (Use the Metabolic Typing Test for that) and thus cannot be used to determine what foods to eat but it can be used to show the overall health and fatigue status of your body. Read more in the first link why this is an important thing to do.


The second article looks at a common problem with regular exercisers made even worse by the fact that no one notices it. This is the problem of when exercise still feels like hard work yet actually you are not getting any fitter. Reaching a fitness plateau is a natural side effect of how the body adapts and is not a problem if you are aware of it. As most people do not measure their fitness, it can, therefore, be a great problem. Read more in the article today.


The final link is from my soon to be released daily motivational newsletter. Today I discuss the problems with group advice in general and how it is easy to be a successful "Guru" yet also very hard to get results across the board. Read this as there is a good chance your results could be suffering to some degree because of the problems with group advice and how most people try to go about it.
