Since my new supply of himalayan salt arrived with a big warning on the outside “this does not contain iodine”, I've been craving salty foods. I'm sure this is psychosomatic, but it has lead to quite a lot of reading about iodine deficiency in the last week. It does appear to be quite possible to […]
I’ve seen two examples of cancer charities fundraising by selling sweets, chocolates and cakes, just in the last three days. It makes me so cross – and makes me realise how far we've yet to go in terms of nutritional understanding. From what I understand there seem to be significant links between cancer and sugar. […]
Those lucky Americans seem to have some sort of Paleo/ Primal/ Low Carb event in the United States almost every month. The Ancestral Health Symposium, the Paleo FX, PrimalCon and even a Low Carb Cruise. What about us down here in Australia and New Zealand?

As soon as you tell […]
Since I've taken such a keen interest in my health over the last couple of years, and particularly since I've adopted a Paleo lifestyle I've come to be surrounded by more and more healthy people. It doesn't take long to realise that these people have a lot in common. I've been trying to understand exactly […]

With MovNat coming to Australia in March – and founder Erwan Le Corre teaching at PrimalCon in April – it really is the year of natural movement. Get ready for Ido Portal! I’ve recently found out about Ido Portal. His YouTube videos show the most incredible movement, strength and balance. You can’t watch these videos […]
