It comes as the national debt has spiralled this year as the Government spent more than £280billion tackling the pandemic and its financial fallout, with Chancellor Rishi Sunak claiming the 'economic emergency' has only just begun.

Adam works with a lady in the US that wanted to lose body fat. Although she'd tried different diets over the years she was feeling unable to stick to anything that would actually work.

This session helps to prompt decisions that trains the body to burn fat rather than forcing the body to lose fat and in doing so enables the mind to perceive excess body fat as a pantry filled with foods and stored energy.
