The August 2008 Ezine edition of The Health Gazette will be published tomorrow, August 1st.

This edition features an article titled: Stress - Impact on the Mind and Body. A brief but telling review of the impact that negative stress can have on both body and mind, the article encourages readers to recognize the importance of dealing effectively with stress in daily life.

Further information in this month's publication considers natural antibiotics. Several are listed along with brief discussion on the importance of moving beyond the Big Pharma consumers' conditioned response of looking for "quick fix" and "magic bullet" solutions. Natural antibiotcs are extremely powerful and very effective without the downside risks and side effects associated with pharmaceutical antibiotcs, but they must be approached differently.

I've just finished my first full day at Adro's weight loss retreat, The New Me. It really is a great place and it's so inspiring working alongside people who have really bitten the bullet and are ready to do whatever it takes to change their lives. I took 1 full session today, and also took 2 of the fitter girls for a session as well. Training the 2 girls was great as they were telling me beforehand that they are now much fitter (after being there for 6 weeks) and are having trouble getting their heart rates up enough to burn sufficient calories. I love a challenge so did a bit of an interval session and almost doubled what they'd usually been burning.

The group session was good as well, and the training comprised of a medicine ball circuit in our big sandpit (it's the size of a tennis court!). The group worked really hard. I'm looking forward to seeing the changes in them over the coming weeks.

I've been working with a number of professional boxers at Blacktown Hit Squad. These guys have shown that they are truly a bunch of professionals: listening, asking questions, and putting what they've learnt into practice.

If you get a chance to get to one of their promotions do it. I've been to 2 so far and they are great nights. The highlight of the last one for me was sitting ringside with rugby legend Jonah Lomu.

Keep an eye out for these fighter at Blacktown Hit Squad:

Next week I'll be moving down to Melbourne and taking on a role at Adro's The New Me weight loss retreat. I went down on the Easter long weekend and really enjoyed myself. The guys they had staying there were really motivated to make a change and their results showed that too.

Since starting back at Easter, the guys who have visited The New Me have lost an average of 3kg each week. The systems have shown that they are successful so far and we'll looking to build on those to make a better experience for all.

Hope to see you there!

The July Ezine edition of The Health Gazette has been published on schedule today, July 1st.

In this month's edition our main article is titled Eliminating Constipation. This widespread problem can easily "take the gloss off" even the best of days when only mild and short-lived. When it is severe or chronic constipation can lead to a multitude of health problems due either to the accumulation of toxins or the physical effects of the associated stools.

In the section called Peter's Pearls there is a material to stimulate some deep thinking. It includes a link to the book titled Seven Words That Can Change The World by Joe Simonetta -- a book well worth reading.
