These are no ordinary times that we live in. I think it goes without saying that we have access to more information than ever about wellness, health and vitality. With the click of a few buttons we can find information about anything! The options that are presented to us are infinite and that itself breeds confusion. It seems that the main question for our generation is not what to do but how to make it last.

It is very true that the simplest healing tools are the most powerful. It’s also true that these are the ones that are most often over looked. This is especially the case when it comes to the topic of today’s blog post: nature.

It’s no surprise that a few years ago my body had to resort to drastic measures to get me to give it what it needed. I was living a life of excess when it came to alcohol, drugs and bad foods; but I was living a life of lack when it came to aligning with nature.

If you’ve been following this blog for quite a while, you may know that my dad is an absolute superstar. As well as being the nicest person alive, he has been the sole bread-winner and carer for our family while Mum and I have been on Gerson Therapy. Not only does he work six days a week, but he also cooks our breakfasts, prepares all of our juicing produce for the day, makes our Hippocrates soup, boils coffee, does most of the produce shopping, and tends to our organic veggie garden. He is amazing. But what does Dad have to do with Camu Camu? Plenty. You see; we have to make sure that my dad is perfectly healthy and to do this I make him a big superfood green smoothie every morning. The latest addition to this smoothie is Camu Camu powder.

I was hanging out with some friends a while ago and we were chatting about how long we think it will be until we decide we’re ready to pop out some kids. One of my friends said to me, “You will probably have to wait until you start eating proper food though, won’t you? Because you will be eating for two then.” I let the comment slide, but my sensitive side felt like it had just been slapped. Proper food?! Gosh, because what I eat now is not proper? This is just one of many occasions when my eating habits have been judged by my well-meaning loved ones who don’t quite understand why I eat the way I eat.

I first heard Kyle Cease talk during a telesummit at the beginning of the year and I instantly became a fan. Kyle is a comedian, actor (you may remember him from 10 Things I Hate About You and Not Another Teen Movie) and motivational speaker. After 20 years on the comedy circuit, Kyle now combines transformation with comedy to bring a less-serious tone to the landscape. He is also one of the nicest guys ever.

GUEST POST BY NICOLA CHATHAM.

During our Winter Retreat Jess, Susana and I were brainstorming topics to write about, and when this idea came up Jess was literally jumping with excitement!

So here we go… Household Rubbish You Can Put in Your Garden

I love recycling. I’ve been doing it for years. But when I found out much of the stuff we put in the recycle bin can be recycled ‘on site’ in our own back-yard, thereby saving fuel and resources by not manufacturing yet another product, and instead letting nature have her way with my waste, I fell in love with recycling at it’s best.

Dr Frank Lipman is an absolute breath of fresh air in the medical community, and it is a damn shame that he is part of the minority of doctors who are so onto it.

“I see myself as a partner in my patient´s health journey,” Dr Lipman states on his website. “A large part of what I do is teach patients how to get well and stay healthy. But the first step in any program is for you, the patient, to take responsibility for your own health.”
