🤰💕 MUMS, THIS ONE’S FOR YOU!

As my beautiful wife settles in for a pregnancy spa treatment, it really got me thinking about pregnancy.

Were your pregnancies completely different from one baby to the next?

I’ve always found it fascinating how two pregnancies in the SAME woman can be such different experiences!

So, I’d LOVE to hear your stories...

👶 How many children do you have? And how old were you when you had your first?

🤢 Morning sickness: Did you sail through pregnancy, or spend months feeling absolutely dreadful?

🍟 Cravings: What was the WEIRDEST thing you craved? Did your cravings change with each baby?

🤰 Baby number 1 vs baby number 2 (or 3, 4, 5!): Were your pregnancies similar, or like night and day?

💙💕 Boys vs girls: If you’ve had both, did you notice any differences? Or did all those old wives’ tales turn out to be nonsense?

And here’s my favourite question…

What’s ONE thing about pregnancy that nobody warned you about?!

The funny, the beautiful, the bizarre, the exhausting...or the downright unbelievable?

And for those whose pregnancies weren’t easy, your experiences are just as welcome.

You don’t have to answer everything. Pick whichever questions bring back the strongest memories!

I’d genuinely love to hear your stories. 💕

QUICK QUESTION… 🤔

What’s ONE thing from your childhood that you genuinely believe made life better than it is today?

Could be something we did, something we had, or even something we DIDN’T have!

I’m really curious to see the answers to this one…

LEADERSHIP...

After taking the mic at the front of the cabin, in front of 100 angry passengers who had been delayed for 4 hours... I took it upon myself to make the situation right.

The chief pilot then forwarded me a Linked In post from a high profile businessman who was on board, who appreciated my honesty.

Why isn't honesty and transparency practised more often?

QUICK QUESTION… ✈️🌴

Why do we spend so much of our everyday lives dreaming about escaping them?

We count down the weeks until the holiday.

We imagine the beach, the hotel, the restaurants, the freedom, the feeling of having absolutely nowhere we need to be.

Then we come home… and somehow “normal life” becomes the boring bit again.

But here’s what I’ve been wondering:

Why?

Why does life suddenly feel more exciting just because we’re somewhere else?

Is it actually the destination?

Or is it because on holidays we slow down, explore, eat together, stay outside longer, talk more, worry less about productivity and actually notice what’s around us?

And if that’s the case…

Could we bring a little more “holiday” into ordinary life instead of spending our lives waiting for the next escape?

🌴 What is it about being on HOLIDAYS that makes you feel most alive?

🚨 WHAT IF THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC IS ALSO AN INSULIN-RESISTANCE EPIDEMIC?

Everyone talks about calories.

Everyone talks about fat.

Everyone talks about sugar.

But there’s one hormone I think EVERYONE should understand:

INSULIN.

When you eat digestible carbohydrates, they’re broken down into glucose. Blood glucose rises and your pancreas releases insulin, which helps move that glucose into your cells to be used or stored.

That’s completely normal. Insulin is not the enemy.

The problem starts when our tissues become increasingly resistant to insulin. The pancreas compensates by producing more, and over time this metabolic dysfunction can progress toward type 2 diabetes.

And here’s the bit I think surprises people…

🍚 Rice raises insulin.
🍞 Bread raises insulin.
🍝 Pasta raises insulin.
🥣 Breakfast cereal raises insulin.

It doesn’t have to taste sweet.

Some highly processed starches are digested so rapidly that they produce large increases in blood glucose and insulin. Harvard specifically lists many breakfast cereals, white bread, white rice and potatoes among high-glycaemic foods.

BUT... and this is important... not all carbohydrates behave the same way.

Lentils, beans, intact whole grains, vegetables and whole fruit generally produce very different glucose responses from highly refined cereal, white bread or sugary drinks. Fibre, processing and the structure of the food matter enormously.

So perhaps instead of simply asking:

“How many calories are in this?”

we should sometimes be asking:

“What is this food doing to my blood glucose and insulin?”

Because understanding insulin isn’t just about weight.

It’s about understanding one of the central mechanisms behind type 2 diabetes.

And THAT is a hormone worth learning about.

Be honest... before reading this, did you realise a bowl of cereal could produce a substantial insulin response?

💧 ARE WE DRINKING TOO MUCH WATER?

Bottled water is a $290 billion global industry. For something that falls out the sky!

Gatorade funded a study that suggested our thirst is not a reliable indicator of hydration. Was this to create more business?

We constantly hear:

“Drink more water.”
“Carry a bottle everywhere.”
“If you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated.”

But here’s something interesting…

For most healthy adults, thirst is actually a remarkably effective hydration system.

The US National Academies found that, day-to-day, drinking a glass of water at mealtime is generally enough to maintain normal hydration in healthy people.

And here are a few things that surprised me:

💧 You don’t need to get all your “daily water” from water.

Roughly 20% of our total water intake can come from FOOD... fruit, vegetables, soups and even meat contain substantial amounts of water.

☕ Coffee still counts

Despite caffeine’s reputation as a diuretic, the National Academies found no convincing evidence that caffeinated drinks cause a cumulative body water deficit. They still contribute fluid.

🤯 And yes... it IS possible to drink too much water.

Drinking excessive amounts can dilute the sodium in your blood, causing hyponatraemia. In extreme cases it can become life-threatening. This is particularly relevant during prolonged exercise, where over-drinking has caused serious illness.

So maybe hydration doesn’t need to be a competition.

Your needs change dramatically with exercise, heat, illness, pregnancy, age and other circumstances... and here in Australia, obviously a hot day or a hard workout changes the equation.

But for an otherwise healthy person going about a normal day…

Maybe we should give THIRST a little more credit.

💧 What do you reckon?

TEAM WATER BOTTLE... sipping all day
or
TEAM THIRST... drink when your body asks for it?

I've reduced the amount of water I drink from about 4L per day to about 2L. It's been great not going to the toilet so often!

I NEVER GAVE UP.

The photo on the left is me at 28.

The photo on the right is me today at 42.

14 years.

And looking at these two photos made me realise something that has very little to do with weights, calories or what I see in the mirror.

Back then, I spent an incredible amount of energy hating and loathing myself.

Thinking about what was wrong with me.
Thinking about what I didn’t like about my body.
Beating myself up for what I’d eaten.
Looking in the mirror and focusing on everything I wanted to change.

It was exhausting.

During that period I used a combination of hypnotherapy and Time Line Therapy to work on the way I thought about myself.

And eventually something became abundantly clear:

Hating myself was consuming an enormous amount of energy… but it wasn’t actually changing anything.

What if I took even HALF of the energy I was spending criticising myself and put it into actually doing the things I knew I needed to do?

So that’s what I started doing.

Train. Eat well. Learn about nutrition. Get back up when I slipped. Repeat.

Not for a 12-week transformation.

Not until summer.

Not until I reached some magical number on the scales.

Just keep going.

And perhaps that’s the biggest lesson these two photographs represent for me.

I didn’t need to hate myself enough to change.

I needed to stop wasting my energy fighting myself and start using that energy to build myself.

Fourteen years later, I’m 42 and genuinely feel like I’m in the best shape of my life.

But I’m probably more proud of what changed between my ears than what changed in the mirror.

So here’s today’s Bentley Wellness thought:

How much energy do we waste attacking ourselves for the person we are today… when that same energy could be spent becoming the person we want to be tomorrow?

You don’t have to hate who you are to become someone better.
