What about a Free discussion titled
All About Stress?
As a personal project, after 4 years of research, in 2019 I published a book titled ‘Stress Overload and You’. Available in our libraries. Just after that the covid pandemic arrived and everything shut down. The few seminars I had done on the subject to promote my book, were very well received.
Since then, I discovered that most people know what stress and anxiety feels like but they don’t know what stress actually is, or specifically what to do about it. So, I created 45 x 5-minute videos on a Facebook page, for those who were interested, outlining in simple terms, exactly what is happening. That is presently also being set up as a YouTube channel.
In light of the very stressful changes our communities have gone through and will continue to do so, today I would like to offer your group a free 90-minute discussion/ presentation, titled “All About Stress”, where I will explain, in simple terms, the latest science behind what is happening inside our human body when we experience a sense of stress at any level.
I have found, that in light of the huge increase in stress-related illnesses in our community, this information is simply not getting through, and yet is important for all of us, in order to help ourselves and our family members. That’s why, right now, I choose to pass it on.
There will be plenty of time for questions and plenty of excellent references.
As a speaker, offering this free service is my way of contributing to the welfare of our community.
If the subject is of interest to your group and community then please contact me at 92 Aka Aka Rd, RD3 Pukekohe, email at phillongtaylor@gmail.com or txt me on 021 0847 1980 for further details.
Thank you.

Feedback.
• “If you hadn’t told me, I would never have known”.
• “Really interesting. Thank you, Phil”.
• “When you even show us how to get the scientific information ourselves, you are the real deal”.
• “That certainly explains a lot about my issues. Very empowering”.
• “Which begs the question. Why is our health system running 20 to 30 years behind the latest scientific discoveries”?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
