I attended a conference some years ago where experts on child autism spoke. Gluten was described as an opiate. Bread, of course, acidifies the body; so that slice of bread, even if it is wholegrain, is an opiate and acidifier, creating a habit of addiction and inflammation. Indeed, when we observe the rages of kids who are deprived of their ‘hit’ of junk food, it’s difficult not to see it as an addiction. New Scientist of Feb 2003 even had a cover story with similar claims. The problem of an inflamed, acidic body is, as I see it, not just

Hi guys, I don’t know if you have tried our Certified Organic Tinted Day Cream? While we were going through the organic certification process we actually looked at the consistency of the product and we decided to turn it into a mousse-type consistency as opposed to leaving it how it was – the result – it is now even more incredible and you only need to use the smallest amount to get a great result. I would love to know your thoughts on our Tinted Day Cream since we have turned it into the mousse-type consistency it now is as 

We would like to thank Janine Byrne and her pioneering company “Envirotrend” who were the first to produce environmental shopping bags with gorgeous designs. Before her time…Janina saw that those “environmentally friendly” supermarket shopping bags were good because they stopped us using plastic but boy were they boring! So she made pretty ones and we all dashed out and bought them. Envirotrend then moved on to the cute handbag friendly folding shopping bag and designed the beautiful Koala bag featured in our online shop at www.savethekoala.com.  Everybody loves them and every handbag has one (I have 3!)  hiding inside for 

Last week we took a step back to engage with the concept of food as sacred, examining traditions from the ancient age right up to modern times. This week we’re taking a step forward: we’re demonstrating how you can apply these concepts to your life in a very real way, with a simple process that puts you in control. This may be the most important feature in our Food Is Sacred series…it really gets to the core of what we feel   Loving Earth is all about. Nowadays we’re bombarded with a vast array of miracle diets and stress-free programmes. There’s 

Hi guys!  Hope everyone is thriving as we get into longer, brighter days full of sunshine and fresh air.  The past few weeks have been manic here at Lucky You Cleanse.  This is the time of year that many commit to a new healthier way of life in a lead up to the holidays.  We’ve talked in past posts about how to prepare your body for a cleanse and how to best break your cleanse.  We often get asked for tips on what are the most effective things to do during your cleanse.  Part of the cleanse experience is about 

I’ve just spent the lat 3 weeks on tour, North Island of New Zealand 7 talks, Ipswich, Toowoomba, Dalby, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Caboolture.  During this time I’ve felt fully immersed in food and people, there never seemed to be time to think about much else.  What has become so painfully clear to me is that we are in trouble with regards to health. After every talk I probably spent up to 2 hours talking to people individually, they told me their darkest health woes.  At times I felt helpless as their problems were so monumental and I knew it 

A few years ago, my mom and I went to a weekend seminar for a class called Light Speed Learning. This class is taught by two people named Thomas and Jayne. It is amazing course that teaches you how to photograph books with your mind; thus, allowing you to technically access and record information at 500,000 + words/min. Pretty wild right? They actually teach you how to read a book of about 400 pages in 2-3 minutes. Here’s how it works. When we are awake, most often, our brain’s are active in their Beta state, a state of alertness, thinking, 

From The Book: The 28 Laws Of Attraction Book By Thomas J. Leonard Over the years I’ve noticed clients who shop at Sam’s Club and stock up on items like toilet paper, paper towels, napkins and so on.  (Sam’s Club is a store where people buy in bulk.)  Anyway, I noticed this in the past and always thought that’s a nice idea.  In ways it was a bit overwhelming to conceive, cause if you live in NYC usually you do not have much storage space.  The idea was really nice, though. Recently, I started to read a book called, “The 

I’ve always loved a bit of toilet humour, so talking about my baby’s poo almost gives me a perverse pleasure – suddenly I have permission to discuss stinky excretions in detail – no jokes required. It’s amazing how aware you are of your little one’s nappy contents, the frequency, colour and texture, but of course you are, you’re the one wiping it up! There is such a wildly variable degree of what’s normal in a breastfed baby, and although some mums freak out at poo changes, most of the time, there isn’t anything to worry about. COLOUR Your baby’s first 

Somehow my life always seems to be that little bit better when I have a holiday booked and thus something exciting to look forward to. Whether it is an adventure holiday or a relaxing retreat you have in mind, why not travel to an eco-friendly destination and surround yourself in natural beauty. These are the top 4 eco-friendly destinations we would love to visit, and stay tuned for our post next week on eco-friendly travel accessories. Au revoir!

First week back after school holidays and I am feeling a bit stressed, thinking of all the things I need to do and where I need to be.  I have to remind myself to deep breath to calm my brain and body.  Rapid breathing lowers your vitality and reduces your resistance to disease. Our breathing mechanism is automatic and is based on past habits. Many of us develop bad breathing habits which result in an overall reduction in health. Deep breathing is one of the best ways to lower stress in the body. This is because when you breathe deeply 

Do the creative wonders ever cease with innovative cardboard furniture and design, This is what you get when you leave a stack of cardboard sheets alone in a room with some of Europe’s brightest engineers. Karton Group is an Australian based company and “Nothing” European based companies are two companies coming up exciting new innovative ideas in furniture design. It is affordable, durable and beautiful. It’s also 100% recyclable. Move it, flatten it, store it or leave it exactly where it is.  KARTON is about keeping things easy and proof that handsome European design doesn’t have to be expensive. In 

The old saying of “we are what we eat” is very true, however, we are also “how well we digest and absorb our food”. There are many people who eat extremely ‘well’ and yet they are not as healthy and vibrant as they could be due to poor digestion and absorption—leading to an array of health problems including food sensitivities, fatigue and migraines—and elimination problems which can result in constipation, diarrhoea and more sinister diseases such as cancer. So what is it about our modern lifestyle that affects our gut health? Most of us are aware that poor dietary habits 

01 Fried Food Quite challenging to digest, fried foods, and foods high in trans-fats, wreak havoc on the digestive tract. These foods are heavy and slow the overall digestive process, leaving excess acids that can eventually move upward into the esophagus. Fried fats also remain stuck in the digestive system for long periods, and can create increased pressure in the stomach. 02 Manufactured Baked Goods Baked goods create an acidic environment, especially when baked with artificial colours and preservatives. Avoid all forms of refined sugar and flour, as they rank high on the “acidic” charts. 03 Coffee Caffeine in coffee
