Guy MacGillivray he is a psychologist and social worker in Port Lincoln that discovered he was using sugar to medicate the stress in his life.
He decided to change this.

He started to reduce his sugar intake and noticed he started to lose weight. He changed his morning routine, thought about 3 things he is grateful for, that included his family, friends and meditative prayer. He decided to start the day in a good direction and noticed what happened when he went back to his old routine. 

He asks: "Are you a leaver or a finisher?  Can you stop at one scoop of ice-cream or do you finish the tub of ice-cream.

Guy is a finisher and the only way he could do this was by completing removing sugar from his diet. He wants everyone to know that you can do this too.

He is a father of 3 young boys and has a highly important and admirable career, supporting people living with disability and their families in the Port Lincoln region to overcome barriers and the daily challenges of life. 

“The main aim is to work with kids, young people and adults living with disability, along with their families and carers, to overcome some of the barriers and challenges they have, including transition to school, or finding housing, or employment issues,” said Guy.

“I also support families to work their way through the NDIS and remove some of the barriers that make it difficult for people living with disability to achieve the best possible outcome through their NDIS plan.”
Thank you Guy and your team for making a difference in Port Lincoln for our most vulnerable. We are very appreciative.
