We use the Vibrant Life Keys as the basis for our Health & Wellness Coaching.
There are seven (7) Vibrant Life Keys which combine to recommend changes and/or improvements to areas of ‘healthstyle’ including ideal neurological function, nutrition and internal chemistry, movement, brain function (thinking, emotion and more) and social interaction.
They also underpin the need to understand, identify, eliminate or counteract the toxic loads or deficiency states which may be found in how you are living life.
This is about helping you understand how to ‘do’ life better, helping you prioritise and implement changes that can manifest this better function and quality of life.
Remember that these 7 Keys are about working toward cellular functional purity and sufficiency – as they relate to the ‘needs’ (genetically-determined requirements) for life.
This in turn expresses itself as improved health and function for the entire organism – us.
Keys 1-5 could be considered the ‘correct principles’ in the above formula. They inter-relate as each is vital to the performance or success of the other – however the over-arching requirement is an optimally functioning nervous system from which intelligent co-ordination and control arise.
Unless these principles are put into action in a consistent manner, the chance of significant improvements to health and wellbeing are minimal.
Part of the process of moving further toward purity and sufficiency is the reduction and/or removal of negative DISTRESS (toxicity loads and deficiency states in Physical, Biochemical, Mental-Emotional and Social realms or domains).
According to Maslow, there are a series of expanded human needs categorised as:
These needs are encapsulated within Keys 4 & 5.
This archive contains a range of articles and resources that contain or explain the proprietary Vibrant Life Keys model for working toward better lives.
The key to any shift toward health (homeostasis) and happiness is personal change. By realising that some (or many) or our current behaviours (including the environment in which we choose to live and the stressors we choose to accept or endure) are causing adaptation and a resultant shift AWAY from homeostasis – toward illness, sickness … Read more
Lifestyle choices, not genetics are by far the most profound causes of illness, sickness and dysfunction affecting our society today. It is useful, in fact necessary, to begin to look at genes with different eyes – to see them as a cause of health and ideal function (if given the biological needs to achieve this) … Read more
A primary concept we want to myth-bust through Health & Wellness coaching is the impact of genetics on both our health, our illness and more broadly, our lives! Commonly, our society assumes that genes control our lives and the risk of genetic illness is high. This reliance on genes-as-cause of illness and on family history being … Read more
Omega-3 is a class of fatty acids that are beyond ESSENTIAL for vibrant, extraordinary human health. They are essential because we cannot manufacture them ourselves from other fat sources, and we cannot convert vegetable sources very efficiently – our enzyme systems aren’t setup for this purpose. Fat is a critically important nutritional requirement for your … Read more
Levels of internal acidity are normally kept within very tight confines because this impacts cellular function to such a great degree. This is one of the clearest examples of ‘homeostasis’ in the human body – where products are leached from bone to balance out acidity if it rises too high. Our bodies are SUPPOSED to … Read more
Glyconutrients are important small sugar molecules linked to both proteins and fats that play vital roles in our body’s function. Sourced from fresh plant foods primarily, they are essential for healthy cell function and moving toward an ideal life. Glyconutrients exist as specific combinations of sugar molecules (often just single sugars by themselves – mannose … Read more
Nutritional guidelines, like any form of evidence are based on research. However the paradigm within which the research is undertaken will determine the value and/or validity of the answers given. It is the view of Noosa Junction Chiropractic that the current nutritional guidelines recommended by many governments around the world (and often supported by the … Read more
Many people prioritise or judge their own lives (or others) based on a “Have To” belief system or mentality. It is important to identify and think about how our internal dialogue powers our decision-making and our sense of self, confidence, esteem and more. A lot of us live life in an almost unconscious “life-by-rote” automatic, … Read more
There are as many experts as there are ideas about nutrition – what and how you need to eat. Our approach to nutrition is influenced by our ‘lens’ (paradigm) through which we look at the world. Nutrition, and advice about nutrition, is a complex area fraught with confusion.Who Do You Trust? What Do You Trust? … Read more
We know that how we feel impacts our mental state. What is now clearly proven and has been repeatedly shown are the nerve pathways in the brain that allow either good, happy thoughts (internal dialogue) or their opposite directly affect body-wide physiology – from organ function to so much more. The principle of Vibrant Life … Read more
