1989-1999
1989-1999 CLICK TO READ

  • 1989 June: I leave school aged 19 with 6 O levels and 3 A Levels. I have no interest in going to university, I want a job!
  • 1989 September: I start work at a high class department store selling expensive furniture. The company pay for me to go on an exclusive sales training course with a big wig!
  • 1991: I work as a high flying, suit wearing financial adviser! In effect I am just selling insurance and pensions to friends and relatives!
  • 1993: I decided to set up my own business.
  • 1994: I came really close to almost making it work and it had huge potential.  Eventually after much effort, the business failed. It wasn’t all bad, I  had along the way learned some good business acumen,  yet I had paid a price. I was only 24 and‘burnt out’!  After the failure of my business, I had time to reflect about how  much stress I had been under day after day!  So after much thought and deliberation I asked myself, what is it that I am really interested in doing with my life? I was at a career crossroads and, after some thought I made a decision to not just make money, but to make a positive difference! Later that very same morning I saw an advert in the Guardian newspaper offering stress management training courses. Coincidence? I prefer to think of it as the late great Carl Jung said,‘Synchronicity‘ 
  • 1994- 1996: I trained and qualified as a Stress Management Consultant and became  a member of The UK Stress Management Society. 
  • I focused on the mental side of stress. I learn powerful,  natural, drug free alternatives to help clients reduce stress and it’s damaging effects upon the mind and body.
  • These include Meditation & Yoga. I began to use the techniques myself, and  after 12 weeks of yoga and breath exercises, my sleep had improved dramatically and my resting pulse had gone down from 76 BPM to 44!
  • 1999: I watched a health documentary called ‘Breathless‘ on BBC television. This was about a special breathing  technique that could apparently ‘cure‘ asthma! I watched the programme and was that impressed, I called the BBC the next day and after a bit of smooth talking to the receptionist I actually managed to get the mobile telephone number of the Russian Buteyko instructor. Coincidence or synchronicity?  Strangely I had for the last year also been learning Russian language at a night school! When I spoke to the Buteyko therapist over the phone, I was able to greet him in Russian , and he told me he was that impressed that he wanted to invite me along to his next course so I could witness the effects myself of this powerful breathing technique.
  • 1999: I attended the course and after  just one day, the whole room of asthmatics are literally transformed. I instinctively knew that this method had great potential.
2000-2009

  •   2000: I attend a Buteyko Practitioner course in Oxford on the Buteyko Method and link in my Stress Management experience.
  • 2000: For my own Personal Development I decide to do not one but two solo parachute jumps! I find this very scary but not as scary as what I do 15 years later! 
  • 2001: I travelled to Moscow and I was awarded  the Advanced Buteyko qualification direct from The Moscow Institute in Russia. (I am the only English practitioner to hold this qualification)  I also received tutoring in Person from the late Professor Konstantin Buteyko. I also notice that at this time in Russia there was little appetite amongst the general population for processed food and although I saw a lot of expensive cars and clothes in the Moscow & St Petersburg, in 3 weeks I saw only one over weight person! For the first time I started to wonder if there was a direct link between processed food and weight gain?
  • 2002: I wrote my first book ‘How to Swap asthma for Life’ 
  • 2003: I qualify as an Adult Teacher after gaining both my 7307 Part 1 & 2 Adult Teaching Certificates. 
  • 2004: I start to put on Buteyko Practitioner Training Courses. I have people flying in from Spain, Portugal, Israel, Switzerland and the United States.
  • 2005: I ceased teaching Buteyko practitioner courses  because I realised that something was missing from the method. After consultation in Russia, it was agreed that the western diet of heavily processed food must be first acknowledged as a huge stumbling block to natural health and addressed along with the breathing therapy.
  • 2005: I decided I needed to see the full holistic picture if I was going to be of maximum benefit to my clients. I realised I needed to acquire some more client 1-2-1 skills, including improved counselling and empathy skills. So I enrolled on a 2 year person centred counselling course.
  • 2006: For personal development  I did 12 months voluntary work at Citizen Advice Bureau & The Samaritans
  • 2007~2009: I contiunue to treat clients naturally

2010-2019

  • 2010 my second book is published and covers the four key areas required for self health protection. Breathing, Exercise, Diet & Attitude. Ten days later I hear a voice in my head shout out “It’s not BEDA its ABED!” I realise I have got it all wrong, well not quite. But for any change we must first start with our own Attitude, so I rename the method ABED
  • 2010: ABED is published in Positive Health Magazine.

  • 2014: ABED receives official recognition by the International Independent Therapists Institute and is the first in the UK to do so.
  • 2015: My local newspaper put me on the front page of Hull Daily Mail. Dr Fatloss! The local NHS are impressed and with so many overweight staff, I am  invited to formally teach my method to help their staff to lose weight.
  • 2016 NHS Hull invite me to coach their staff : 6 months pass and no further with discussions. Apparently someone in management NHS took a dislike my name Dr Fatloss. It was not PC enouhg I have a crisis of confidence and decide to drop the name.
  • 2015: I finally pluck up the courage to do something I have wanted to do for a long time in 1999 I did a comedy session on stage and ‘died’. It was horrendous! I vowed to myself I would one day do it again, smash it and lay the ghost to bed. So in 2015 I do two separate comedy nights at two different venues in my home city of Hull. I found them even more scary than my parachute jumps, but the ride was well worth it, and I am pleased to say with all the laughing  from the crowd then the booing when I was hauled off stage for taking ‘too long’. I am actually proud to to say I definitely didn’t die, and although still felt the nerves I was more relaxed and it got even more laughs ‘ Ghost Slain!?
  • 2016: I am about to make a LIFE CHANGING discovery that is there is in fact just a SINGLE CAUSE OF OBESITY! The cause of excess weight gain, is simply the excess consumption of processed carbohydrates. I am determined to bring this simple powerful truth to as many as possible. 
  • 2017: The Non Pc Diet book is published.
  • 2017: I trademark The Non Pc Diet.
  • 2018: I work on creating an online coaching alternative to diets and conventional slimming groups. I wanted to offer a weight loss coaching alternative that was accessible  affordable to everybody!

  • Every 10 seconds someone is having a potentially life-threatening asthma attack in the UK.
  • On average, 3 people die from an asthma attack in the UK every day
  • Around 200,000 people in the UK have severe asthma, this is a debilitating form of the condition that doesn’t respond to usual treatments and can cause people to be in and out of hospital
  • The NHS spends around £1 billion a year treating and caring for people with asthma.

Asthma UK

The Buteyko Method is a perfectly safe breathing treatment, that has helped hundreds of thousands of asthmatics both adults and children, worldwide. 

I recommend you watch the QED Documentary called Breathless on you tube or click the link above.  

In 1999 I became one of the first health coaches in the UK to qualify as a Buteyko Breathing Asthma Coach.

In 2002 I travelled to Russia and trained at the Buteyko institute in Moscow in Advanced Buteyko. 

I am the only UK advanced Buteyko therapist personally trained by Buteyko’s team in Russia

 

 

History of Buteyko

Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko was born in Ivanitsa (about 155 km from Kiev) on January 27, 1923. This simple yet extraordinary man devoted his life to studying the human organism and made one of the most profound discoveries in the history of medicine.

Buteyko commenced his medical training in Russia in 1946 at the First Medical Institute of Moscow. Part of one of his practical assignments involved monitoring the breathing of terminally ill patients prior to death. After hundreds of hours spent observing and recording breathing patterns, he was able to predict with accuracy, often to the minute, the time of death of each patient. Each patient’s breathing increased as their condition deteriorated and as they approached death.

Russian medical scientist Dr. Konstantin Buteyko theorised that there was a profound relationship between our breathing pattern and our level of health. Many of the founding fathers of modern medicine, such as Bohr, Henderson, Holden, Priestley and Lavosier had previously reached a similar conclusion. Buteyko devised a programme to retrain the involuntary breathing mechanism. No drugs or surgery were employed. Instead, a supervised training programme of tailored breathing manoeuvres was taught to patients. Dr. Buteyko found that when patients improved their breathing, symptoms in a large variety of chronic conditions diminished in severity.

When he formally presented his findings and a detailed theoretical explanation to the medical elite in Russia in 1960, they were outraged at the proposal of a non-medical treatment which claimed superior results. However, by 1967, official statistics cited over 1000 people “cured” of asthma, hypertension and other related conditions through Respiratory Reconditioning. The response from the medical establishment was to prohibit publication, or even lectures on the phenomenon. To this day, the vested interests of drug companies and surgical intervention have invariably slowed down the spread of knowledge about this drug-free approach.

Despite repression from Soviet medical authorities, Dr. Buteyko’s work was supported by grateful patients, who included academics and the many of the political elite. Athletes and the military also supported Respiratory Reconditioning for its facilitation of super-endurance. Dr. Buteyko trained practitioners and they travelled around the USSR, promoting and teaching Respiratory Reconditioning, successfully treating tens of thousands of people.

In 1980, it was endorsed by the Ministry of Health after successful trials, but conservative medical resistance thwarted its general implementation. In 1990 the Buteyko Method was introduced to Australia, where published medical trails showed that severe asthmatics reduced symptoms and their need for reliever medication by 90% and inhaled steroids by 49%.

So far hundreds of thousdands of asthmatics worldwide have successfully learned the Method.

The Buteyko Method has been featured in numerous major news articles and television documentaries.

The Buteyko Method was first introduced to the UK and was widely supported by patients, acclaimed by the media and, again, featured in several television documentaries. (Breathless QED on the BBC)

Because of the support of individual medical doctors, the claims of tens of thousands of patients, the time and effort put into medical trials, news articles and television documentaries, the drug-free approach of the Buteyko Breathing technique is slowly being recognised by the NHS as a viable complement to allopathic medicine.

 

 

Diabetes

Click to see me in action helping a client with T1 Diabetes improve her condition through diet

 

The number of people living with diabetes has hit an all-time high to reach over 4.9 million

• 13.6m people are now at increased risk of type 2 diabetes in the UK

 

 

If  you have diabetes, are worried about diabetes or know someone with diabetes, then this information is for you. 

I have  personal interest in diabetes because I have been looking after one of my own children who has T1 since just before 2 years old. 

If you watch the videos above, T1 is is an autoimmune disease, to date thier is no cure.

~T2 is however as different story, this might be a surprise to you, contrary to what you read in the mainstream media, T2 Diabetes can be compleltey reversed, with enough real natural Non Pc  food and a full on correct attitude.

Diabetes is a serious condition where your blood glucose level is too high. It can happen when your body doesn’t produce enough insulin, or when you can’t produce any at all.

When you’ve got type 1 diabetes, you can’t make any insulin at all. If you’ve got type 2 diabetes, it’s a bit different. The insulin you make either can’t work effectively, or you can’t produce enough of it. They’re different conditions, but they’re both serious.

Other types of diabetes include gestational diabetes, which some women may go on to develop during pregnancy. And there are many other rarer types of diabetessuch as type 3c and Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA) too.

In all types of diabetes, glucose can’t get into your cells properly, so it begins to build up in your blood. And too much glucose in your blood causes a lot of different problems. To begin with, it leads to diabetes symptoms.

1 in 10 people aged over 40 in the UK are now living with diabetes

90% of those are with Type 2 and 90% of T2 are overweight or obese

The good news is as soon as you start reducing your PC consumption it will improve your diabetes and you will begin to lose excess weight.

Diabetes UK have kindly given me permission to give my members their amazing healthy cookbooks

Stress and Positive Mental Health

  • 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem of some kind each year in England
  • 1 in 6 people report experiencing a common mental health problem (like anxiety and depression) in any given week in England
  • 79% of people say that work causes stress reguarly in their lives
  • 74% felt unable to cope at times 

 

 

 

I have been helping others better manage stress and anxiety for over 25 years.

As well as been a trained counsellor and a stress managment coach, I am very keen on promoting the concept of postive attitude.

I am also a breath work specialist for stress management, positive mental health and blood pressure.

My resting pulse is 53 the same as my age and the rate of an olympic athlete, yet its my personal breathing style that allows this.

Indeed a recent medical trial showed that 5 minute daily breathing exercises lowered BP as much as drugs.

One of the greatest threats to our health and well being is isolation, indeed research shows that isolation can be a major contributing factor to depressions and mental illness.

Weight Loss

 

 

I created of the UK’s 1st official healthy lifestyle program in 2010 

ABED©: A Four Step Lifestyle Health Program 

Attitude Breathing Exercise Diet 

 

In 2012  ABED© was awarded therapy status and officially recognised by the International Independent Therapists Institute 

In 2016 The Hull Daily Mail       covered the story and put Me on the front page.

From this story Hull NHS Hospitals contacted Me asking if I could teach The ABED© Method to help their staff lose weight.

I was determined to take ABED© to the masses and set about creaitng an online health and fitness club that was affordable for everybody. 

Click on the pic to watch Mike again in The Hull Daily Mail 

In 2017 I wrote  The Non Pc Diet- How to Have your cake & still lose weight!

The Non-Pc Diet is the first diet that identifies the root cause of obesity; namley the excess consumption of  Processed Carbohydrates 

This is the first diet that identifies and targets the main cause of all obesity and T2 diabetes,  the mass production and consumption of Processed Carbohydrates. 

Take a look at this UK beach front image prior to the mass production of PC’s.
