Health and wellness Dr Arien on Health and Wellness: I Introductory column am Dr Arien van der Merwe, author and medical doctor specialising in natural, holistic, integrative medicine. I advise on practical mind-body-soul health and wellness in real time and online. My philosophy is a whole-being integrative approach to help you find inner balance with natural health solutions, becoming healthy from the inside out. My life purpose is to write, teach and support you while I’m forever learning, growing and applying to myself what I have learnt. My motto: ‘We teach best what we most need to learn!’ – Richard Bach. Our natural state is to be healthy. However, we need some basic knowledge to change unhealthy behaviour into healthy behaviour, and I am passionate about helping others find their way to wellness through learning, understanding, and implementing the knowledge into a wellness lifestyle. Very often I marvel at the wonderful and finely tuned orchestra we call our bodies. We don’t give our vibrantly beating hearts a second thought, don’t even notice our brains and organs functioning, or how our senses open up understanding of the world around us. We each have personal and unlimited access to a super-computer-driven piece of ‘technology’ with a mind that extends even further than the brain and heart! I want to awaken you to the necessity of taking self-responsibility for your own health and well-being; to provide you with the tools to look younger and activate your dormant DNA from soul to cell and feel better and more alive than you ever thought possible. Yours in healthy living! Dr Arien BOOK OFFER Special price of R225,00 upon presentation of this magazine.

Do you know that your amazing body generates new tissue and brain cells every 60 days? You have a brand new bladder every 49 days, a new liver every 45 days and an out-of-the-box stomach lining every 5 days! As if this is not good enough news – our DNA (genetic coding for every form and function of our bodies) renews every 2 months! But here’s the bummer: if we continue doing what we’ve always done, keep on believing what we always have, our DNA generates an exact replica of the previous! Brand new, but all the flaws just get carbon copied each time. Learn how to look after the amazing finely-tuned instrument, your body – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually! f Ariani Dr Arien • Dr Gauchés well-known Weight Control Clinic • Health coaching courses at our offices and online • Metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, diabetes • Natural integrative medicine • Stress management and relaxation training • Health products and Dr Arien’s books available from our offices and online health shop
