How many times are you going to say the magical words ‘I’m going on a diet’.

So why not change what the word diet means to you? I hope I got the message across in my ramblings.

It is only right, after spending all weekend at my favourite annual chiropractic conference, that I talk to you about all things chiropractic. I could talk literally for hours and hours about chiropractic. I am lucky and blessed that my career is also my passion and part of my way of life. However what I find frustrating is that not more people know about the true power of chiropractic and the potential their bodies have to function at its best.If you need a chiropractor send me a message on instagram @sophie.mcdermott and I will be able to find you one, or at least know the right direction to point you in. Make yourself a priority 💕 Sophie x

With Christmas around the corner as we enter November, it is time to get our bodies ready for the possible challenges of winter, and dare I say, overeating and overindulging. So I need you to schedule 7 days in your calendar, in the immediate future, hey why not start today! This is a 7 day reset. If you can't commit to 7 days of changing your health, how can you change anything? This isn't going to be hard. I am sharing what you can do, and you don't need to follow everything I am doing.Tell a friend, tell a work colleague, get some accountability, get committed, and most importantly, have fun. After 7 days you will see and feel a change, and have started building new habits to take with you past that week. Keep me posted instagram @sophie.mcdermottMake yourself a priority 💕 Sophie x
