One topic that I believe deserves more attention is our everyday exposure to wireless technology. Most of us spend hours each day surrounded by Wi-Fi, mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, smart watches and other wireless technology. While the science continues to evolve, I think it is important that we stay informed and understand what the current research is telling us. As women over 40, many of us are already dealing with hormonal changes, stress, sleep disturbances and nervous system overload. Some people also report feeling more sensitive to electromagnetic fields (EMFs), while children are generally considered to be more vulnerable because their bodies and brains are still developing. This is a topic I take seriously myself. I certainly don't live in fear of technology, but I do make simple choices to reduce my exposure where I can. I switch my mobile phone off as soon as I no longer need it, I never carry it against my body, I use old-school wired headphones instead of wireless ones, I turn our Wi-Fi off every night, and there are a few other small habits I've adopted over the years. There is always more to learn, though, and I'm looking forward to hearing the latest research and practical advice during this event. I'm sure I'll come away with a few new ideas that I haven't considered before. That is why I wanted to share this free online event with you. LIVE Online Event: Living Well in a Wireless World Ben Grant Mitchell will be joined by Lyn McLean, one of Australia's leading experts on electromagnetic fields and wireless radiation. Lyn has spent more than 30 years researching this topic and has written four books, along with thousands of educational articles and resources to help people make informed decisions about reducing unnecessary exposure. During the event they will discuss: • What electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are and where they come from • What current research says about wireless technology • The potential effects of Wi-Fi, 5G, smart devices and electric vehicles

Many people haven't realised that there are different types of blueberries and I have a VERY clear preference. So let me tell you a bit more. Most of us can find easily the cultivated blueberries but getting your hands on a wild blueberries can be muc trickier. Depending on the country, some health stores sell them in freezer section or you can find them dried or powdered. Wild blueberries grow in ery specific cooler climates only but cultivated ones in a much broader way. Cultivated Blueberries - Larger, sweeter and juicier. - White to pale green flesh inside. - Grown on commercial farms. - Unless labelled organic, they are commonly treated with pesticides and fungicides during the growing season. - A nutritious fruit, providing fibre, vitamin C and antioxidants, but generally lower in anthocyanins and overall antioxidant capacity than wild blueberries. - Grown commercially in temperate climates around the world, including North America, Europe, South America, Australia and New Zealand. - Require managed farming conditions with suitable acidic soils, irrigation and agricultural inputs to produce larger, sweeter berries and higher yields. Wild Blueberries - Small, intensely flavoured berries with deep blue-purple flesh all the way through. - Grow naturally in the wild with minimal human intervention, making them essentially a naturally grown, unsprayed food (although they are not automatically certified organic). - Richer in anthocyanins, polyphenols and antioxidant activity, making them more nutrient-dense gram for gram than cultivated blueberries. - Their higher concentration of protective plant compounds may provide greater support for healthy ageing, brain function, cardiovascular health, reduced oxidative stress and the body's natural detoxification processes. - Naturally grow in cooler climates, especially across Canada, Maine (USA) and parts of northern Europe in forests, heathlands and natural landscapes. - Thrive in challenging environments with cold winters and nutrient-poor acidic soils, which contributes to their smaller size and higher concentration of protective plant compounds.

I am writing the "Liver Health" module, the topic is sauna and I wanted to share few thoughts on this. Let's go back in time :) Growing up, sauna was not a wellness tool. It was just life. Every single night without fail, we had a sauna, 100-120 C degrees! We sat, we sweated, we forgot about the day. We talked, we let the body relax and we wound down. That was how the day officially ended. And in winter, we would run from the steaming hot sauna straight to the frozen lake, jump through the hole cut in the ice, completely naked, then run back in. It was glorious and completely normal to us. That is where my relationship with sauna started. And it has never changed. I genuinely believe traditional sauna is one of the most powerful health and wellness tools available to us. The heat, the sweat, the cardiovascular response, the nervous system reset, the sleep that follows. There is nothing quite like it. And decades of serious research backs this up. Studies following thousands of people over 20 plus years show significant reductions in cardiovascular disease, dementia, respiratory conditions and overall mortality. This is not trend wellness. This is a thousands of years old practice with real evidence behind it. And then there is infrared....... I'll be honest. I can't get on board with it and here's why. Infrared feels to me like a modern, convenient, slightly sterile version of sauna that arrived with very big marketing claims and very little actual research to back them up. I am not convinced about the exposure to the frequencies either. The studies on traditional sauna have been building for decades. The infrared research is thin, recent, and in some areas raises more questions than it answers. My concerns around infrared come down to a few things. Near infrared has been linked to cataract development with repeated exposure, there are open questions around how it interacts with cells that already have some damage, and sitting centimetres away from heating panels multiple times a week for years raises EMF questions that nobody has properly answered yet. Not proven harmful, but not proven safe either and that gap is enough for me.

We had quite a few light bulb moments during this session, and it was full of surprises. Here is the raw, uncut version of our conversation. We covered: • What is behind most self-sabotage situations • What opportunities may be hidden within these moments • How we can expand our understanding of these so-called "weak" moments • How to turn internal pressure and feeling stuck into a more relaxed and even fun experience A few things I wrote down for myself were: LIFE IS CHANGE and OPPORTUNITY I'd love to hear your thoughts. Please ask your questions, share any light bulb moments, and let us know if there is anything you think you can do differently from now on. Thank you, Ben, for your presence, guidance, and insights. His community is YOUR EMPOWERED PATH in case you feel the pull to check out his work :)

Just a quick reminder and a link to the Live session today at 3.30 pm AEST with Ben Grant Mitchell. Our topic will be self sabotage and not being happy with our own body. I cant wait to pick his brain :) The access link is below. Feel free to leave any questions here in case you can't attend the live. CLICK HERE to go to the live or find it in the Calendar tab.
