2 weeks of napping, walking and semi-fasting

4 Comments

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, then you probably already know me quite well (let’s be honest I don’t really hold back). You know that I love coconut cream smoothies and roast pumpkin (but can’t eat them right now because I’m starving parasites of their sugar-energy). You know I love my morning run (and am NOT a very kind person without my morning endorphin hit). You know (at least at the moment) I do daily enemas (and actually enjoy them).

Let the good times roll

I’ve been posting way too much about parasites and ketosis lately and I figured it was time for a post that is just breezy, fun and doesn’t involve any “poo” talk (which for me really is quite a stretch but I’m up for the challenge). So I thought I’d write about my recent trip away to Queensland and give you all a peek at some sneaky snaps from my time up here (I leave on Sunday Morning).

This week I introduce you to my mate Leah; wife, mother and blogger at Life’s Pantry. Leah sees food as medicine and loves nothing more than getting creative in the kitchen to sustain her three energetic and little ladies.

Allow me to introduce you to this grounded Mamma Bear.

Spectacular Soul Saturday: Donna Heathcote

You see that gorgeous creature front right, bobbing down beside me? That’s today’s guest Donna Heathcote. Donna and I met last November at a retreat called Awaken the Change Within. We instantly developed girl-crushes due to our shared interest in gut health, mindset and puppies. I call her my ‘other mother’ and she calls me daughter (peas in pods!).

Meet Donna …

Routine Or Rut?

I may be a little (and by a little, I mean a lot) guilty of creating routines, becoming overly attached to them and then feeling guilty if I don’t stick to them every. single. day.

I didn’t quite wet myself (but I did come close) when I accompanied my friend Amber to her Chiropractic appointment last Saturday and as we entered the reception area I caught my first (in-the-flesh) glimpse of poo-revearing rockstar, Damian Kristof.

Damo is co-founder of the Wellness Couch with Marcus Pearce, co-host of podcast The Wellness Guys and co-host of podcast 100 not out (again with Marcus Pearce – get a room you two, honestly .. what’s that, it’s called your recording studio. My bad, as you were).

He is also a dedicated naturopath and chiropracter based in Melbourne. He even has his own cereal line called Forage which is putting mainstream cereal companies to absolute shame.

Meet Damo …

Today’s guest is Sen-fucking-sational Spa Chef; Sam Gowing.

Sam is working hard to bridge the gap between mainstream and health-based dining, and is Australia’s leading spa chef – designing menu’s for some of the countries top-rating retreats. Not just handy in the kitchen, Sam has a bachelor degree in nutritional medicine and runs the company Gowings: Food. Health. Wealth. If that’s not enough she was a regular presenter on health talks (which I go into more detail about here), which is where I first come across her work in the first place.

Spectacular Soul Saturday

This is the first of a new blog series: Spectacular Soul Saturday. Each week I’ll ask ‘everyday heroes’ for wise tidbits on how to live a glorious life. I doubt I’ll keep this up forever, but for the next little while I’ve got some groovy spud muffins to share with y’all.

I myself am a sucker for Q & A’s, so to kick-start things I’ve interviewed myself*. I’m humble and private like that.

Keep it real Sonny Jims, and have a fan-bloody-tabulous Saturday!

*Update 2018: I have re-jigged my responses to reflect the person I’ve grown into. I needed a bucket when I read my 18-year-old self’s answers. Cute, but cliched and NOT fun. The humour and candid bowel-health promotion was missing, so I rectified things a little.

Lets Get Physical!

Lets be honest, you didn’t read the title of this post you sang it.

Yes, the title of this blog post does have some questionable connotations, and whilst my tartish mind can’t help but wander to visualising tight lycra and sexy aerobic moves as I read it, I can assure you that all we are talking about today is functional movement. Come to think of it, that sounds suggestive too. Maybe I should just get to the main point before things get too exciting.

Today I really want to write about exercise, specifically why it is NOT something to be dreaded!
