This is Dr. Damian Kristof (Chiropractor and Naturopath) star of the hit TV show DOWNSIZE ME. Damian and I recently presented at an event called “Dynamic Growth” and its theme was on PEAK PERFORMANACE. After the event, I loved Damian’s message so much as it is very similar to exactly what I have been teaching my clients for years, so I decided to ask him to share with you his thoughts on NATURAL FOODS and its health benefits.
( I am sorry about the sound quality – it is a bit noisy background, but the information was just too valuable to not to show you the video!)
Enjoy it and APPLY it to your life to ensure your family reaches their PEAK PERFORMANCE!

Three months ago, I presented strategies on how to create energy for the rest of your life in the Sell-out Seminar called ” Energy for Life”. This time, I have decided to teach even more strategies on how to create massive energy in your life… it is called “Energy for Life 2: The Next Level” . It will be held on Thursday 7th May, 2009 (6:30pm) at the City of Wanerroo Civic Centre. You can go to www.thewellnesschallenge.com.au to register or simply click on the link below to register:
Renewal II looks at the power of taking short breaks and how TOP athletes take advantage of these powerful RENEWAL strategies to be the top of their game. The recent Australian Open reminded me of a recent seminar that I attended with Tony Schwartz (author of The Power of Full Engagement) where he described the four renewal strategies that keeps the top tennis players at the top. The key lessons is that we need to take RENEWAL breaks each day in order to be effective in our daily lives and to be at the top of our game!
I am currently in Bali for a vacation to be with my family and to recharge my body. During this holiday I was lucky enough to be part of a Cataract Surgery in remote Bali village. I went to visit one of the charities that I support which is The John Fawcett Foundation, which provide sight to many poor Balinese who have gone blind due to the cataracts. This experience inspired me to do this video about RENEWAL, and the importance of having RENEWAL in our lives. The time we take to recharge may not be as drastic to our health as recovery of sight… but it is just as important to ensure that we have ample energy to be at our best !
I will be doing more videos in the future about my experience at The John Fawcett Foundation in Bali, but for now – you can visit www.balieye.org.
Last week, the ENERGY for LIFE Semianr was a huge success with over 75 people attending the event! I have been hearing some amazing stories from people who attended the event who have created massive changes already! Notably a 15 year old who took action and decided to wake up at 5 am every morning since the seminar so that he can do extra work and help mom around the house by cleaning up the house, doing the chores etc. He also committed to drinking more water each day and is encouraging his brothers and sister to follow his lead! (This is from a 15 year old who told me he slept in everyday till late and had no desire to do anything during the day just last week!)
The key to success for him (and anyone else…) is that he TOOK ACTION! So what action did you take after last week?
This was also a preview night for the WELLNESS CHALLENGE, where we introduce this brand new transformational program to create greater vitality in your life! It was a huge success with the first Challenge in 2009 being completely SOLD OUT and a waiting list of 6 or more people ready to sign up for the next challenge in May! Look for more news in coming months!
With the success of last week’s seminar, I felt the ideas and concepts from the seminar were vital for people to take the time to process and share their experience. So I thought that I would offer you FREE GIFT …if you were not there or did not take any notes, I produced a four page document just for you called ”Energy for Life: The Handout”, it highlights what we talked about and helps you to create action steps to take action right now so you too can create massive ENERGY for your life!

Is it not amazing how quickly things change? Here is a picture of Kaia at 6 weeks old. Now go and watch the video again of Kaia’s birth which was taken at 1 day old (if you have not seen it, see blog post below on 6th August, 2008). Is it not amazing how she has grown and changed? Children are so amazing and we see the changes in them so rapidly, as it is happening in front of our eyes!
But as adults we often forget, that we are constantly changing every day, every hour, every minute and every second as well! Little did you know, your cells in your body such as your heart cells, your blood cells, your liver cells, your skin cells, your immune cells, your muscles cells are all constantly changing right now as you read this. The question is: is it growing or dying? In life, there is no constant, there is always change – it is always either in a state of growth, or in the state of dis-ease.
Are you striving to ensure that you cells are working together for the state of growth, the state of health and well-being OR are they simply slowly or rapidly declining into a state of dis-ease, illness, sickness and eventual death?
We HAVE a CHOICE! We have the power to decide. We all have the potential for health, we are innately build for it – just look at KAIA – she is growing into this world without anyone or anything telling her how to do it except for the innate inborn intelligence within her. All I have to do as a chiropractor and father is to ensure that there is no interference in her that will block this potential – this is what we as chiropractors do – remove interferences and allow the body to be whole.
What is blocking your potential in life? at work? at school? in health?
In July, we ran a BABY Competition to guess the BIRTHDATE, the sex and weight of my baby. We had hundreds of entries, and of all the entries online and at the office, we actually had TWO winners! Ms. Carlyn Henderson and Mr. Stewart Gillet are our two well deserved winners. They both guessed the right date – 5th August, 2008 (actually it was one of the winner’s birthday!), the correct sex – FEMALE, and both were just 100g off the correct weight of 3.4 KG or 7.5 lbs.
Above is a video of both Carlyn and Stewart accepting their prize and their reactions is a definite must see! I hope you enjoyed the photos of Kaia on the video, she has grown up so much! So the question is…. who do you think you looks like?
I also wanted to thank everyone for your gifts and emails of congratulations after the birth of Kaia. It was a great honour to be able to share such an amazing event from our lives with all of you. The video of Kaia was view over 1000 times as you guys loved it so much that many of you decided to share with your friends and family – it was viewed as far away as Canada, Scotland and the US!
As we begin the season of “Spring” in Australia, I notice some of the trees in my front garden begin to blossom with beautiful flowers. It is the season for new beginnings, the time of year to shed the slow and often gloomy winter season and transition into a roaring summer season ahead.
At this stage, our bodies also moves into the a state of change. We begin to shed our “winter” coats in our bodies. Do you ever notice that there are a lot of people having “colds or flu” again? Could it be that the lining of our lungs are preparing for the upcoming warmth in the summer ahead? Can it be that the body is intelligent enough to remove the dead cells of our lungs and start to form new cells to prepare for a different climate in the summer (dry and hot) as compared to the winter (wet and cold)? And that a “cold” is just symptoms of your body removing debris and cells that are not longer needed?
Spring signals a season of change, a season of preparation so that we can reap the rewards of the hard labour of the year past. As we head into the first part of SPRING, what are you preparing for this summer? What goals are you striving for? Is it to get more healthier? Have more WELLNESS in your life ? Be more flexible? Have more time off? Spend more time with family?
Whatever your goals or desires, you have time to prepare NOW to reap the rewards! What do you need to get rid of in your life, in your work, or in your to do list before you get achieve your desires or goals? What steps do you need to take to reach your dreams? Who do you need to talk to or consult with or be coached by to get to your desires?
As your health and wellness coach, I would be happy to offer any suggestions or guidance in your journey to achieve greater and more fulfilled life! All you have to do is just ask me how.
