The Night
We had an awesome night. Turn out was fantastic. We had planned 60 people to come. A few couldn’t come due to rain or last minute emergencies. But it was a fantastic night. Engagement was fantastic. Feedback were all positive. I think we all learnt a lot from each other.
I talked about Insulin, Insulin Resistance, Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes. We should all try to improve our metabolic health through the myriad of ways, including eating low carb, intermittent fasting, exercise, reducing stress, sleep.
Helena talked about how to start low carb. She used her and her mother in law as an example. Both of them had amazing journeys, gaining health and reversing diabetes and metabolic syndrome.Tracey talked about change and mindset. She talked about how change can be hard and how our habitual thoughts will try to sabotage your behaviour. She discuss how we can have choice and freedom from our habitual thinking.
Gillian talked about low carb and chronic conditions. She pulled a few examples how low carb is associated with chronic conditions that we didn’t even know, for example Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, etc.
The plan is to release these talk videos each week. Subscribe to my newsletter and the talks videos will come to your newsletter.
The first 3 videos are uploaded to my YouTube channel. You can watch following this link.
Sponsors
I wanted to support local business so I asked a few sponsors to come and promote their businesses. They brought cake, treats and samples. K.O. Fitness gym owner, Bradley, brought some discount vouchers. (You can still ask me for one). They are all supportive of low carb lifestyle.
Just a note about sweet treats. To some people, it may trigger their sweet addiction. Some people also may have problems with regulating their consumptions. Please be careful in those instances.

On reflections, it was such an awesome event. Hopefully these events will inspire more people to improve and learn new things. We discover how to improve our health, mindset, lifestyle and learn more about ourselves. I am so pumped up. I already have plans to organise another event, February 2023. I am also thinking of launching online courses with community support. Drop me a message. Follow me on socials. Let me know what you think!!!
