For any health professional or therapist, January is the time to be afraid – very afraid.

Contributor Susan Scott, Business Psychologist, Nutritional Therapist, trainer, consultant and coach.
Why is it that we are so gullible to think that a Celebrity DJ can tell you anything worthwhile about fitness or a radio presenter has suddenly become an expert on diet recipes? It appears that we would rather trust the advice of an actor than a qualified health professional.

The pressure they are under is now more than ever before. So will buying a glossy book by a well-known celebrity DJ give then the answers that they need? Probably not! Maybe it is not too late to get your money back on an unwanted present.
