The Passions and Quirks of a Homeopath.
While looking for a homeopath near me you may have read my About Me page here on my website or even read a few of my homeopathy blogs.
But how well do you know your local homeopath? Well, if you’re sitting comfortably, I’ll begin.
My Passions of a Homeopath:
A few things in my life are non-negotiable. One of them is exercise, and one is my love of food!
Washing my hair? Nope, I’m at the gym!
I practice what I preach. I attend a kickboxing class, spin class and Bodypump class every week. Exercise is hugely important to me and each class appeals to me for different reasons.
I need a class environment to motivate me, and need to be shouted at to push me. I do admire those who go to the gym or elsewhere and have a routine that they stick to.
I’ve made some amazing friends, too. All the classes make me sweat (a lot!), release feel-good endorphins and make me physically stronger.
This is all before you consider the major mental health benefits. I sleep better, and my mood is better. I can’t imagine my life without exercise and actually get annoyed if something interrupts my ‘gym’ routine!
Food, glorious food!
I LOVE food! This may seem odd, especially after the above paragraph, but it’s true! Ask any of my friends, and they will tell you I have a large appetite!
I did have a very fast metabolism when I was much younger so could eat anything without gaining weight. I was underweight for a large portion of my late teens and early 20s. It has slowed down now I’m older but I never deny myself any foods.
It’s all about balance and moderation. I plan my meals for the week and eat healthily 80% of the time. This way, when I do go out to eat or treat myself, I don’t feel guilty.
I enjoy cooking immensely and trying out new recipes. Jamie Oliver, Fay Ripley and Joe Wicks’ books are my favourites. I wasn’t always a good cook. I struggled for many years but finally found a Jamie Oliver cookbook which made sense to me and produced great tasting food.
My Quirks:
- I can eat raw potato and actually enjoy it!
- I can recite most Pixar Disney movies by heart (and still do, much to the annoyance of those watching with me!)
- I am a bookworm and can read very fast.
- I’m slightly OCD about tidiness – everything has a place, and I like everything to be in its place!
