Growing Strawberries
Growing Strawberries The first few years of living in Portugal I did not do very well at growing strawberries. There were not very many and it was not a very long season. Now there are masses of them, every day, every year, and the last few years the season has...
Circadian Rhythm
How we fuel ourselves is the most important thing for mental and physical health and happiness. If we don’t fuel ourselves in the most natural way then what we end up doing is depleting ourselves instead. I know this sounds a bit extreme, but is what is happening to...
What i did wrong with oxalates
What I did wrong when I discovered I’d poisoned myself with oxalates… Many years ago, when I was still plant-based I heard about oxalates and thought it was completely ridiculous that all my whole food superfoods could be harming my health. I brushed this nonsense...
Health changes so far…
Below are my own personal health changes from going plant-based to animal-based over the last 3.5 years (so far) and this is from someone that was already feeling pretty strong and healthy! Auto-immune disease Hashimoto – officially gone (but I am still waiting for...
Sweetbreads with a twist
Sweetbreads with a twist.. If you don't want to eat gluten &/or wheat or in fact any grains its not easy to get a battered finish on your food. However my amazing biltong making friends at Inyama Meats HERE have started grinding down the leftover bits of their...
Nothing is ever ‘perfect’!
Nothing is ever ‘perfect’! We spend our lives searching, hoping, and wishing for things to be different. Thinking that if we have a different partner, home, job, or life that we’ll be happier (and maybe healthier). BUT, the quest for something else stops us from...
What to Prep…
What to Prep? When all the C@vid craziness happened, I was one of the people prepping. You never knew when another lockdown would happen or what craziness they’d come up with next so it made sense to be very prepared just in case. Over the last few years, I’ve been a...
Reasons why your fatigue might feel like it’s getting worse…
Reasons why your fatigue might feel like it’s getting worse… I am frequently contacted by people sacred their chronic fatigue syndrome (or any kind of fatigue) is getting worse and that they don’t know what to do about it (as they have usually tried everything...
I was wrong!
I was wrong… I was wrong when I said eating raw vegan was the healthiest way to eat I was wrong when I thought daily juices and smoothies were super healthy I was wrong when I bought all the superfoods from all over the World I was wrong when I was popping all the...
Meat Myths I had to Unlearn
Meat Myths Unlearned... Moving from plant based to animal based can be a challenge, especially as we have been 'fed' a lot of nonsense about how animal proteins and fats (which we have consumed for millennia without any issues) now someone effect our health in a...
How living off-grid has changed me
How living off-grid changed me… I moved to Portugal almost 8 years ago, as I had wanted to live in a more sustainable and natural way for a VERY long time. So, when I saw what people were getting up to here it seemed like a dream come true! I believe living off-grid...
Treat or Crutch?
Treat or Crutch? I’m not going to be making any friends with this post, but I’ve wanted to write it for a while (as it comes up almost daily with my 1-2-1 and group clients) and it’s something I have struggled with too. I was hoping to fit it onto my latest post about...
Plant based to animal based
Plant based to animal based… I have more and more people contacting me all the time that have or are considering moving from plant based to animal based because of serious health conditions. I know this is a REALLY hard decision for people to make when they have been...
Free-from food scam
Free-from food scam… I remember when free-from foods first came out and I was absolutely delighted. I was so sick of the very limited dietary choices I had. I became veggie at a very young age and then when I was in my early twenties (more than 2 decades ago) I...
