Chatting with Daniel Vitalis was one of the most interesting interviews I have ever done. He is so energetic, entertaining and magnetic – and thinks so differently to almost everyone in the nutrition world.
Daniel is a Leading Health, Nutrition, and Personal Development Strategist and a Nature Based Philosopher. He encourages us to “ReWild”, by teaching that our invincible health is a product of living in alignment with our biological design and our role in the ecosystem.

Ever since finishing Gerson Therapy and having my “no seeds” rule lifted, I have been getting stuck into chia seeds. They are versatile little suckers, and they are jam-packed with so much goodness.
Here are a heap of reasons to eat chia:

Last week I gave you a first look into The Lifestyle Transformation Guide, posting a snippet of my interview with yogi Kathryn Budig. Today, I’m unveiling a little more and giving you part of my chat with nutrition super star Cyndi O’Meara.
Cyndi is one of Australia’s leading nutritionists, and is the author of the best-selling Changing Habits, Changing Lives. She is also one of my greatest mentors, and I’m now lucky enough to be able to call her a friend.

Many women loathe menstruating. It brings on all kinds of unwanted signs and symptoms – rising body temperature (cue night sweats), headaches (pre-menstrual, at onset, during and at the end of the period – all diagnostic tools related to hormones), pain, bloating, and for some, vomiting and diarrhea. Oh and then there are mood swings – they’re fun… not! If I suffered from any of the above, I’d want to jump ship too! But here’s a little tip – these unwelcome signs are your body’s way of communicating with you that things aren’t in great shape. While we have accepted that these pre menstrual (PMS) and menstrual symptoms are simply part of the package, they don’t need to be there. They are treatable.
No, I’m not crazy. I’ve haven’t gone and contracted pica (the name of the disease given to people who eat dirt). Eating clay is actually a very clever, amazing health-promoting thing to do.
As I wrote here, I am on a mission to eliminate toxic heavy metals from my body. Thanks to the chemotherapy I had four years ago, my body is still weighed down by them. However, even without chemo poison, many of us are heavy metal contaminated. This is thanks to pollutants in the air, at the hairdresser, at the petrol station, in our seafood, in our water, in our cosmetics, in tattoos – and pretty much everything else we consume. So, this is just one of the reasons why I have taken to eating a spoonful of dirt each morning.

I am going to die.
Or at least, that is what I thought during my first Bikram yoga class. Die, pass out, throw up, have a heart attack. They all seemed like viable options, and I was so ready to welcome anything that would end the torture and suffering.
For those of you that have been living in Greenland for the past few years, Bikram yoga is an intensive 90 minute yoga practice.
“90 minutes?” you say? “No sweat!”

So, between now and the launch date in September, I’m going to show you some snippets of these chats. First up is the brilliant Kathryn Budig.
Kathryn Budig is a yogi, a writer, a foodie, and one of the wisest and loveliest people I’ve had the chance to connect with.

As many of you know, I had a super high dose of chemotherapy drugs pumped through my left arm just after my first cancer diagnosis. The radical poisoning didn’t work, hence why I was led to take control of my health via all natural means. What the chemo did do, however, is leave my body with high amounts of heavy metals – which are incredibly difficult to eliminate, and make healing a very slow process. Four years since my conventional “treatment”, I am still dealing with the ramifications and I’m now introducing several detoxification tactics to chelate the toxins from my tissues. One of these tactics is taking the superfood chlorella.

I’ll never forget my very first yoga class. It took me about two months to finally go (I always found an excuse to go next week, and next week just never came). I was a little nervous. I didn’t know what to expect. I couldn’t relax because my mind was obsessing with whether I was doing it right and my eyes were busy looking around for confirmation. I felt like I was always behind. I didn’t get the terminology.

GUEST POST BY NICOLA CHATHAM *Note: This post is surprisingly not just about growing food. “Begin with the end in mind” is something I’ve heard said a lot in business. “Know what it is you want, and then reverse engineer your way back from there.” A part of me loves this idea. Adores the… Read More
