Dear Diary…
I’ve been having some really interesting conversations of late with both clients and friends covering health related issues, which I seem to have had a lot of experience with. From polycystic ovaries and endometriosis to chronic digestive problems, bowel disease and migraines. Actually come to think of it, in my last 11 months of being a personal trainer I have also had the pleasure of helping clients with both depression & bulimia both of which I have also had personal experience with first hand. So I thought I really should start a blog about my experiences and how I have overcome all of them purely through diet, exercise, changing the way I think and a whole lot of friggin hard work!
So, welcome to Dicko’s Diary where I intend to share my journey to better health through natural healing and trying to chill the fuck out!
I’m not ashamed to share my story, it is who I am and I wouldn’t be where I am today without having gone through all of this. And if I can help just one person with this then it’s all worth it.
You will never here me use the word struggle – I HATE that word. I used to use it all the time. Oh poor me, I struggle with migraines, I struggle with depression, I struggle with this, I struggle with that. I’m always sick. Not anymore. And when you give in and let your illness define you then you are no longer a victim you are a volunteer.
After experiencing a lot in my life I now know from the depths of my soul that everything is connected and that many illnesses (if not all) whether mental, physical or emotional that they can be managed through diet, exercise, emotional intelligence & spiritual healing.
After spending years in Dr’s surgery’s and hospitals & swallowing copious amounts of drugs and then further years of personal research into selfcare I truly believe that medical research for illness and disease is a waste of money. This money would be better spent on educating people on how to keep healthy but unfortunately that’s not going to make a very powerful industry any money. Yet we are brainwashed into thinking that Dr’s know best. They don’t! They experiment and they are paid good money for it. I know my body best and I never ever have to go to the Dr’s anymore.
Now, I didn’t do this journey all on my own – I found some really amazing people to help through each and every step. When you starting looking outside the box you’ll be amazed at what you find, you just need to start looking in all the right places.
It’s time to start listening to your body people, it talks to you every single day. It starts off very very quietly and if you ignore that sucker it will just get louder. So stay tuned and find out how me and a whole bunch of other people have overcome illness and disease through lots of natural & real stuff.
Yours in health & happiness! (you can now see why I always sign off like this).

Hi Rach
Listening to our bodies is the key to ulitimate success in health and well-being. Once our bodies have been heard and we are reconnected to their wisdom then there is only a life of magnificence to be gained. Not all Dr’s though are bad news! So it depends on the circumstance:-)) But overall if everyone is listening to their bodies then health is definitely possible. Love your courage to present your story. Really inspiring! J xxx
