Yay. My next course is around the corner, kicking off October 1st 2015. This is the last time I will be LIVE COACHING my Real Food Rockstars course, so if you want that deeper level of support on your real food journey, now is the time.

Here's an indepth one way chat from me about the course...

For the past 11 years I've moved through a real food journey, which has greatly assisted in healing and supporting 2 chronic conditions - Chronic tonsilitis, long term PCOS. I have very minimal PCOS symptoms now, and tonsilitis has well and truly left the building, after 3 decades of antibiotics multiple times a year. I'll never forget the 2 day fast my 'new naturopath' 12 years ago put me on after 4 rounds of antibiotics that hadn't worked. I had said to myself in the pits of despair "There's got to be a better way than this" and got curious about what holistic therapies might have to offer. The rest is history.

Once I then started to do a little research on food, where it came from and how it was produced, I could not believe what I uncovered. Like a Hollywood blockbuster Erin Brockevich-like tale, the dirty back doors of the food industry unveiled themselves.

I then realised it was about WAY more than our health, but by changing the way we ate, we could also peacefully bring down the naughty companies that produce factory weirdness that harms us long term. People won't make what people don't buy. So peaceful. So easy. I had a crystal clear realisation that we could shape our health and that of our planet's from our shopping baskets. From that realisation, and the realisation that I was destined to be a teacher and sherpa of sorts in this space, stemmed my blog and our community.

I want to ensure that people who want to hop on the train headed for the blissful low tox life, can do so armed with facts, unbiased research, delicious inspiration and arrive confidently. It's not all going to be easy. There's mental work to be done as well as product swaps, label detective skill building, work to make our families happily get on the train with us, work to understand the real picture of the current food system.

Will it be worth it? You bet. Will you feel it's a delicious journey whereby you feel free and no longer trapped by food and food choices? Absolutely YES. Let's take a look at the vastness of content we will cover together.

Please note that this is not a diet course or a course to make you eat a certain way, other than the real food way. I want you to know exactly who the real enemies are in the food mix, and from there, crowd them out and use the tools from this course, to design your perfect food mix as well as be knowledgeable in the way that we can strength our bodies and ward of probability of a range of diseases - how powerful is that?
