One of the most frequently asked questions from our clients at Body Catalyst is about the liver and how it helps with weight loss. Usually this stems from our advice to abstain from alcohol for 24 hours before and after fat loss treatments such as cryolipolysis or fat cavitation.

Evolution only allows our brains to consider a small amount of information when making decisions, and ironically, the more choice presented to us makes that decision even harder. Ever scrolled through Netflix for 2 hours without having watched anything and given up? Me too. This limited capacity can be attributed to all aspects of our life, from what food we fancy, to what body treatment we should choose.

The dreaded C word...that's right I'm talking about you cellulite. If you've landed here, I'm about to spill all on the cellulite conundrum. Come and join the party and let me help you make it a little more manageable. Ask yourself these questions:

Specifically the question should be, why do we accumulate pockets of fat in certain areas? But let me begin by telling you that fat is absolutely necessary. Besides its protective ability to withstand the elements, it is vital as an energy source, a host site for the storage of essential vitamins, a component of cell membranes and brain tissue.

We all have our own little ways of keeping ourselves in our happy place. I truly believe the key to staying there is to prioritise the things that make YOU tick. If accepting that invite to a party or joining drinks after work just makes your mind whirl for a feasible excuse, then simply decline the offer. At times, we can feel pressure to be social, to step out of our comfort zone and to connect with others. But sometimes others have the power to alter and challenge your values for worse.

At Body Catalyst, we have long held the belief that there’s no 'one-size-fits-all' when it comes to our bodies. Every body is different, which is why every person who walks through our door walks out with a different treatment plan. In 2018, we’ll start seeing this philosophy spread into the mainstream. Personalised EVERYTHING, deeper human connections, and self healing with spices are just some of the things we’ll be seeing more of in the year ahead.Personalised fitness products

We all know that calories do matter when it comes to weight loss or maintaining a healthy weight. In theory, you should lose weight if you burn more calories than you are taking in. This can work if it is done in the correct way and if you are focused on the quality of your food, not just quantity. However, too much restriction can result in malnutrition, muscle breakdown, nutrient deficiencies and even weight (body fat) gain.

At Body Catalyst we believe everyone should have the opportunity to look and feel great.

In the perfect world we’d get all the nutrition we needed from a healthy wholefood diet - macronutrients, micronutrients, the lot. Unfortunately, it just isn’t that simple! The stress of modern life coupled with relentless over farming of Australian soil, constant exercise and the environmental toxin load on our often undernourished bodies, means that a majority of us require a basic supply of the nutritional resources we need to keep us alive.
