Adrian Tiller and daughter Amy
Sherwood Rd Organic Meats (Sherwood) and Morley St Organic Meats (Toowong) are about as ‘paddock to plate’ as it gets! Farmer Adrian Tiller produces organic beef, lamb and goat at Roma and daughter Amy sells it in their stores. Other wonderful farmers supply what they don’t produce themselves: Bendele Farm certified organic/free-range poultry and Dawson Valley “humane-choice” free-range pork. They specialise in paleo and other food nutrition networks eg GAPS and therefore stock a huge array of bones, grain-free and “CRAP-FREE” meats. They smoke their own nitrate-free, free-range hams and bacons. But best of all they are there to help and happy to chat at any time.

Marty Kendall: Optimising nutrition for performance, weight loss and diabetes
Everyone agrees that nutrient dense whole foods are optimal for health, but not everyone agrees on what they are. Identifying foods that are highest in the nutrients that are harder to obtain enables us to avoid malnutrition with the least amount of energy. People who are looking to lose weight can focus on low energy density foods that increase satiety while maximizing nutrient density. People who are insulin resistant benefit from lower insulin load foods that lead to normal blood glucose levels.

Marty is married to a type 1 diabetic and has a family history of type 2 diabetes himself. Building on this personal motivation, he has combined the concepts of nutrient density, the food insulin index and energy density to identify optimal foods for different goals, such as athletic performance, weight loss, diabetes and therapeutic ketosis. Liz Champaloupe: After more than 15 years in allopathic medicine as a Registered Nurse and a further 10 years in sales & management in corporate healthcare, Liz moved into holistic healthcare. Always interested in the influence of the subconscious mind, she established Potent Minds in 2011. Since then she has been working with clients to achieve optimum health & lasting change using the growing field of energy psychology & epigenetics, addressing the underlying emotional component of all dis-ease.

This involves facilitating the release of limiting beliefs, blocked emotions & unwanted habits using:

•Advanced PSYCH-K®
•The Emotion Code
•Ancient wisdom from Traditional Chinese Medicine
•She is also a Clinical Hypnotherapist and qualified Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Practitioner

Cathy Eason: Cathy has been a Lead Instructor for the Nutritional Therapy Association (USA) since 2006 and enjoys sharing her knowledge with students as they explore the intricate workings of our amazing bodies.
