Are you a stress addict? Maybe you justify it by being a ‘busy person’.

Do you feel stuck in a rut? Sometimes (or all the time) we go round and round on the same problem, circumstance or chocolate addiction wondering why we never change, despite knowing what is good for us.

If I told you that your sugar addiction or your diagnosis was connected to the dirt under your feet, what would you say? I’m guessing many would say that’s a little far fetched. The reality is that every piece of food that you put in your body comes from the soil at some point and the health and nutrition within the soil directly affects the quality of the food. It also is the birthplace of many ingredients that go into medicine and supplements. Without recreating a farming and agricultural mode...

Ever struggled to give up a particular food or food group? Surprisingly, it’s often deeper than “I just really like it”.

The untethering process can be tricky but is absolutely possible and the first step is understanding why that attachment exists in the first place, which is what we talk about in ...
