    MY WELLNESS UPDATE + NUTRITION SCHOOL PRICE INCREASE

    MY WELLNESS UPDATE + NUTRITION SCHOOL PRICE INCREASE

    Thank you guys so much for all the support and words of encouragement after I posted my original update all about my wellness journey post birth. 

     

    You might remember that I began this journey almost 6 months ago now, 1 week before my 35th birthday, 7 months after baby #2 and 223 days of sleep deprivation and adrenal fatigue later, when I felt at my very worst.

     

    What I didn’t mention is that when my birthday rolled around, I was struck with the most simple yet profound message that would stay with me every single day since...

     

    I was inside the LMS hyperbaric oxygen chamber, breathing in 95% pure oxygen (there’s only 21% oxygen in the air we’re breathing now!) to help all the goodness in my IV drip absorb effectively into all of my cells, when I noticed a book.

     

    Tanya Maher Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber LMS 

     

    This book was called ‘ikigai’ (loosely translated as ‘your reason to jump out of bed every morning’.)

     

    I flicked to the summary points of ‘the Japanese secret to a long and happy life’ and there it was... the message that affected me to the very core... the words which have played over in my mind every day for the past 6 months:

     

    “Get in shape for your next birthday”.

     

    ikigai 

     

    It wasn’t that I needed to see this message to eat better or go to the gym.

     

    It wasn’t that I needed extra motivation.

     

    It wasn’t that I read it on my birthday and liked the coincidental surprise.

     

    It was that for the first time ever, I understood that lasting change needs time;

     

    ...that Metamorphosis doesn’t happen overnight. It doesn’t even happen in a month. 

     

    ...that sculpting a body is a process. A gentle, steady, loving, careful process.

     

    I understood that if I want something enough, I must commit not 2 or 4 or 8 weeks to something on an intensive basis, I must commit a year and take small DAILY steps.

     

    It may seem basic to you, but for someone that [before babies and never since] only needed to go for a run in order to immediately produce calf muscles or skip only one meal to be rewarded with a flat stomach, this message was a revelation!

    “Get in shape for your next birthday”.

     

    The message consumed me.

     

    My patience grew roots. 

     

    My appreciation for the human body amplified.

     

    I felt inspired like never before.

     

    It felt as if I was solving a puzzle for 35 years and it was finally in front of me - whole, completed, solved, accomplished. 

     

    I finally got it!

     

    tanya maher iv drip LMS 

     

    “Get in shape for your next birthday”.

     

    It is the exact message which comes to mind now each time I look in the mirror, about to drown in the disappointment of my results. 

     

    I am reminded that these things take time. 

     

    I remember to be kinder to myself. 

     

    I feel motivated to carry on.

     

    I fill with gratitude and appreciation for my health, energy, determination, patience, gift of time and privilege to be (and to feel) alive!

     

    I continue to make healthy choices (something no one regrets ever!) and I actually enjoy myself in the process.

     

    I enjoy the cold/hot/cold showers.

     

    I enjoy the hourly alarms I set up for myself, like the 12:22pm ‘my posture is amazing’ reminder or the 3:33pm alarm called ‘the universe rewards my actions’.

     

    I enjoy the workouts in my living room and feel an energy rush when I break a sweat! I wish I could find more time than just twice weekly, but still feel grateful that because I only do them twice weekly, I am skipping with excitement to get cracking when the wait is over!

     

    celery juice challenge 

     

    I enjoy my daily 500ml pint glass of pure celery juice. Actually, I’m addicted now! And the benefits from the first time I did my 21 days of it in December were so obvious to everyone, now Elliot joined me on round 2! More on my experience with it in another newsletter, but if you already know that you want to join me on my round 3 starting end of March, then register your interest here:   mailchi.mp/tanyasliving/celeryjuice

     

    I enjoy being woken up early by my babies and getting started with my day without a snooze button.

     

    But best (and weirdest) of all however is that I enjoy cleaning now. 

     

    All sorts of cleaning! Deep cleaning, decluttering, sorting, folding, ironing, floor scrubbing, dish washing, dusting, wiping, polishing, vacuuming, soaking, you name it - I relish in it, even washing out the rubbish bin is a joy! 

     

    And you know why?....

     

    When the whole “Get in shape for your next birthday” invaded my consciousness, I immediately became disinterested in anything to do with the couch and looked for ways to move my body any chance I got.

     

    I wanted this exercise to be good for my body, as well as my home and my brain, so I (once again) enrolled myself into IIN, the online nutrition school, downloaded lectures and started listening to them while I cleaned. 

     

    Holy. Wow. 

     

    Everything is so much more interesting the second time around! 

     

    tanya maher biarritz

     

    Maybe it’s because the wellness information has really evolved since I took the course 7 years ago.

     

    Maybe the doctors and gurus delivering this info are even more awe-inspiring now. 

     

    Maybe my own mindset has shifted, because now I’m not merely listening to lectures for a certificate, I’m absorbing them for my and my family’s wellbeing and longevity.

     

    I’m surrendering to the universe and accepting (with gratitude) my divine right to feel fricken amazing!

     

    When wellness information travels through my ears, it absorbs into my brain tissues, my nerves, organs, every cell of my body and out to my aura.

     

    I transform into a beacon of wellness and I literally feel everything within me (including my choices, cravings, energy levels and even stubborn fat cells) shifting in order to get me to my “Get in shape for your next birthday” intention.

     

    The power of the wellness information within the IIN curriculum goes far beyond helping you become an incredible health coach. 

     

    It literally changes you forever.

     

    And honestly, I often avoid sending emails or publishing blog posts, in fear of coming across as too ‘salesy’, so I just keep quiet. 

     

    BUT I genuinely believe that this course is magical, powerful and addictively interesting... and now that the price of tuition is going up from 1st March, I know I’d regret not giving you the heads up!

     

    So even if a portion of you was once interested in studying wellness for a year (only 5 hours per week!), perhaps this is your sign to go for it?

     

    tanya mahr ice skating

     

    Here’s what my friends at IIN say:

     

    “On March 1, 2020, our tuition will increase from $5,995 to $6,795 for the Health Coach Training Program. While most schools regularly increase their tuition as they update their curriculum, we have not increased tuition in years. Since 2013, we have honored our commitment to keeping tuition costs down to allow as many people as possible to receive our life-changing education.”

     

    So in order to avoid this US $800 price increase AND still receive $1,500 off the current/old price, call one of these numbers to enrol before Sunday 1st March!

     

    (877) 733-1628 from US

    +1 (212) 730-5433 from outside of US

    TANYA'S MEGA WELLNESS - my health journey post birth

    TANYA'S MEGA WELLNESS - my health journey post birth

    As you guys know - in January this year my big girl turned 3 and her baby brother was born, within the same week.

     

    I spent a couple of months in baby haven bliss, elated that breastfeeding was working out this time, focusing on consuming all the calories so the milk keeps flowing, running on love and adrenalin, getting out as much as possible to see what I can accomplish as a mama of 2, not resting when I should’ve been resting, not taking such great care of myself with all focus redirected to the kids and feeling guilt-overload when I’d go beyond the basic grooming, like spending ‘unnecessary’ time to straighten my hair.

     

    Then three months of this sleepless-restless- guilt-packed buildup started to take its toll. 

     

    My placenta pills ran out. 

    My hair began falling out like I’ve never experienced before.

    The postpartum night sweats seemed to be getting worse.

    The daily headaches were debilitating.

    My energy was almost non-existent.

    My mood swings became irrational.

    The snacking got out of control.

    The constant reaching for quick sugars was exhausting.

    The sugar cravings were uncontrollable.

    I couldn’t exercise due to excruciating pain in my joints.

     

    I was so so unbelievably tired.

     

    And despite what everyone told me about the weight loss when breastfeeding, it didn’t seem to apply to me. I was slimmer 2 weeks after birth, than 2 months after. 

     

    Then the weight gain accelerated. 

    The bloating became frequent. And painful.

    I developed a gut.

     

    The day my baby boy turned 7 month was the last day of our breastfeeding journey and [interestingly] the first day of my returned period since getting pregnant.

    It was also the day I decided to make a drastic change and to devote all focus to MY personal wellbeing.

     

    I wanted to see the best in the industry and because I kept a close eye on LMS (London Medi Spa), who are Tanya’s deli’s neighbours within My Chelsea Hotel, over the many months they were building their state-of-the-art wellness department, I had no doubt they were the right fit.

     

    That’s when I saw the LMS Wellness team and the journey to #TanyasMegaWellness began.

    Here’s everything I’ve done so far:

     

    1. Followed the LMS gut healing protocol for 28 days - followed Valentina's (their star nutritionist) recipe plan, was off dairy, gluten and eggs (that was the easiest bit for me:)), while taking medical-grade probiotics, digestive enzymes, GI Revive formula with L-Glutamine and Veg Meal 16g protein breakfast shake.
    2. Got my blood work done via LMS for the most comprehensive test available on the planet (every thyroid test is there, so is every hormone test, ultra comprehensive cholesterol measurements, even presence of female tumours!). 
    3. Had a jaw dropping consultation with a functional medicine doc, Dr Mark Menolascino, to help me interpret the test results. Discovered I had adrenal fatigue, a gene mutation giving me high cholesterol no matter the diet, low Vitamin D, low Vitamin B12 and a lot of Candida!
    4. Got the highest grade supplements prescribed to me that are specific to my blood test results.
    5. Got back on the alkaline train to rid of the yeast. Apparently the presence of Candida is very normal for a new mother, but since I FELT far from normal, I’ve started consuming lots of chlorophyll-rich foods again- green ‘Alkaliser’ juice from my own deli, green smoothies with fresh aloe vera gel (even when on holiday in France) and adding Superfoodies green juice powder to my water. Plus the prescribed Nystatin to properly eliminate the candida. 
    6. Committed to intermittent fasting, where I don’t eat anything past 5pm. I still consume the same amount of calories in a 24 hour period so I never feel deprived, but giving my digestion a proper break for 16 hours straight has given my entire system the rest it’s been seeking (in turn rewarding me with energy).
    7. Started to exercise minimum of 2 times per week. I purchased Tracy Anderson’s 90 Day Metamorphosis Omnicentric program, which is 30 mins of dance cardio and 30 mins of muscular structure exercises I can do at home. The muscular structure videos are updated every 10 days, but whenever I feel bored of the dance routine, I go for a run instead.
    8. LMS’s IV drips! Hands down the most effective and efficient way to deliver nutrients to your cells fast. So far, I’ve done this twice. First time was a cocktail range for my birthday (4th Sept)- Energy, Mood and Detox Infusions in one (a combo of Magnesium, Calcium, Selenium, Zinc, Vitamin C, B12, B Complex, B5, B6), plus Glutathione - the most powerful antioxidant. Second time when I was feeling under the weather and got a surge of Amino Acids, Antioxidants and B Vitamins, all while giving a talk at a NZBWN Wellness Event!
    9. Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber. You sit/rest/meditate/yoga in a very cool chamber while breathing in 95% pure oxygen. I took this session at LMS right after my birthday IV drip infusion to help accelerate the delivery of all that goodness into my cells and felt BEYOND. WOW.
    10. A monthly 3D scan of my body. It’s a machine that takes 3000 pictures of you and reports on your posture, fat mass, lean mass, body shape rating, comprehensive measurements and the basal metabolic rate (the amount of energy your body is burning while at rest).
    11. Registered for the IIN Nutrition Course again, so I can immerse myself entirely in all things wellness. I’m loving all the lectures and the mind blowing new findings even more than 6/7 years ago!
    12. Sleeeeeeeep. Though I’m not sleeping all that much more, I am however staying in Lake’s room at the weekends now for quality uninterrupted sleep twice weekly. OMG. I don’t know why it took Elliot and I 8 whole months to think of this!

     

    Here are some screen shots from my IG stories where I've been showing you what supplements I've been taking over the past six weeks:

     

     

     

     

    I’m only 1.5 months in, but already feel transformed, like I have a new lease on life!

    The weight hasn’t changed (even went up slightly), but my body fat is less and muscle mass is more.

    No more bloat.

    Almost no more gut.

    No more joint pain.

    No more sugar cravings or snacking.

    No more hair loss.

    No more mood swings.

    My energy is back! And I’m feeling so good again!!!

    I still have the results of my genetic test to study and to report to you and am yet to do a stool test, plus try Cryotherapy and complete the full course of Nystatin, Adrenal Support supplements as well as all the other supplements and now that I have more energy, I want to run more too!

     

    So watch this space for updates.

    And watch the videos on @tanyasliving IGTV plus IG stories- I get pretty raw and real there!

     

    Do you have any questions or would you like me to connect you with the ‘by invitation only’ LMS Wellness team? 

    Let me know in the comments! 

    Always happy to spread the healthy vibes, especially now that I have my energy back to do so :))
