Androdynamics, translates as "The way people Work." Hi My name is Peter McGrath and I am a Health professional from Brisbane in Australia. I have studied in the areas of chemistry, Folk and Nutritional medicine, Health Science, Health Promotion and Public Health Nutrition. I have worked in Emergency services, as a nurse and in Public Health in several capacities before deciding to move away from Medicine and Illness research and work purely from a health and wellbeing perspective. In my capacity as a non therapeutic health professional, I train and coach people in Diet, environmental health (Mainly health audits of peoples homes, yards and workplaces)food preparation and label reading. One of my pet projects is to move people away from seeing health as the abscence of illness and disease to a proactive understanding of total health and wellbeing. I use and encourage the use of a variety of products including Nikken magnetic and Infra Red technologies. I do not believe in using nutritional supplements without very good medical reasons as almost no research has been done on the synergistioc affects of nutrients, so no-one can really say that a healthy and varied diet is not the best way to health. To this end I teach the use of slow and organic foods and encourage peole to fall in love with eating as a social and joyful experience.

Many people confuse trying to “Get Better” with being healthy. The sad fact of the matter is that most industries that appear to be selling health are in fact selling a mindset of Illness and disease.

The gyms and health professionals who sell diets and exercise programs are selling you on the idea that there is something wrong with you that needs to be fixed. The Truth is that your body has evolved over millions of years to be healthy and deal with a range of environmental insults and toxins. It is designed to grow up, work, have kids, raise them and then pass on your wisdom to them and assist with the raising of your grandchildren. And it is only designed to do that as a healthy functional organism. There is very little that goes wrong with us that is not a symptom of not cooperating with nature and our environment. And as far as I can see, the single biggest toxin that is overwhelming our body’s physical system is the ubiquitous and pernicious idea that there is something wrong.

Simple guides for health. Air •	Fresh is best, leave the windows open. •	Get some plants in the house with you. •	Learn some simple breathing techniques. •	We developed to live outside with the trees and plants.

Sleep •	Habits Rule, so use them to your benefit. •	Go to bed at the same time 7 days per week. •	Go to bed 8 hours before you need to get up. 5.30 start = 9.30 bed •	When you wake up, get up. •	Sleep 1 hour for every 2 that you are awake. •	Blue light equals daytime, do not use day globes in the bedroom.

Food •	Too much is never enough, so stop eating before you are full. •	Eat a rainbow every day. •	Legumes are the biggest single link to a healthy life, eat plenty. •	If you cannot tell what it was when it was alive, do not eat it •	You can not eat too much coloured vegetable. •	Only eat when you are hungry. Never on time. •	Eat more foliage (Greens) •	And remember, everything is toxic if you have too much.

Water •	Start your day with a large glass of tepid water. •	Drink enough during the day to need to urinate every 2 hours or more. •	Urine colour changes but try to keep it clear or pale. •	Decrease drinking 3-4 hours before sleep. (Enough to sleep through) •	Most drinking guidelines come from cooler climates.

Activity •	Good health outcomes are more reliant on activity than weight. •	It is better to be overweight (not obese) and active than inactive and underweight. •	Get a Pedometer. 7,000 steps per day, minimum
