Food: what was the truth 20 years ago is not so today. What works for one person does not automatically work for everyone. Having breakfast is not the answer for everyone. Eating fruit in the morning may be a better option for some or fasting?

When Co-Vid started Debra rewrote her book “Get: Better; Stronger; Smarter”. With people feeling frightened and the upheaval caused by lockdown, not seeing family and friends, Debra felt we needed to focus on living.
During our discussion we talked about grief and loss and the need to accept what is. Debra shared her horrific year, 2014 and the journey through to once again thriving.
Ask: “What can I do to make me feel better?” Smile. Find one thing that you like to do each day to help release endorphins.
