Recipe: Chickpea, Avocado and Walnut Salad
It's finally warmed up for summer and time to dust off the salad recipes. There are really endless varieties of salads. You don't need to stick to lettuce, tomato and cucumber. Choose from your favourite vegetables, seeds, nuts, beans, herbs etc and a healthy dressing like lemon juice and olive oil. This works well on it's own or as a side salad. Read more...
Recipe: Curried Nut Roast
This dish is great served hot or cold. I love it with a big green salad and home made coleslaw. It freezes well either before you cook it or once cooked you can slice it up and freeze in individual portions for those days you need something quick and healthy. Read more...

Stop The World, I Want To Get Off!
Is it me, or is our world moving pretty quickly these days? Work, school, kids, laundry, bills, hobbies, parents, friends, study, errands….we’re tired just thinking about the stuff we cram into a typical day! No wonder we’re keeping Gloria Jeans in business and craving sugar every afternoon. And when nighttime comes around and our bodies want to be winding down for sleep, we end up so wired that we need a glass of wine or cocktail to calm down. We’re using a “stimulate-sedate” cycle just to keep up with the pace of our lives. Read more...
Recipe: Cool Cucumber and Avocado Soup
This recipe is great in the summer (sorry to all of you in colder climates right now - you will have to save this one for a few months time). Read more...
Food Focus: Sprouted Grains
So what’s the deal with sprouted grains? Why are they better for us than flour products? The main benefit of sprouting any food is twofold: first, it releases vital nutrients and second, it makes those nutrients easier for the body to assimilate. You can sprout at home on your own, but if you don’t have time you can now purchase sprouted foods. Let’s look at an example of a sprouted food at your local health food or specialty grocery store.

Testimonials
Before the Sugar Detox I was a little sluggish, overloaded and overweight. I was surely overdoing the sugar intake and the alcohol! By the end of the detox I'd lost 3.2Kg, I definitely have more energy and am enjoying getting out of the house and onto the beach or to the pool for some exercise. Herbal teas have become my staple, I really enjoy them. I certainly would and have recommended this detox to other people looking to improve their health and lose weight.

Before the program I was suffering from bloating of the stomach, reflux, insomnia and depression. The Hair Tissue Mineral sample results showed I had heavy metal toxicity and high levels of arsenic in my system. Lisa quickly put together a program of natural remedies and a quality diet to help me repair, renew and release toxins from my body. After the first week I began to benefit in lots of ways. I was sleeping less but better quality sleep and my thoughts became more positive.
After six weeks I lost 3 inches off my waist without exercise (after 6 weeks I’d lost 5Kg). Lisa did all this for me while I was living in a different city via the internet and phone and even after the program was complete she still keeps in contact for any further help. So change your life today, just decide. Many thanks Lisa

Just wanted to let you know that after two months on krill oil and adjusting the diet my cholesterol reading came down from 8.5 to 6.8. I know I have a way to go but so grateful for the improvement.

Your knowledge of food and what's in it is amazing. I thought my choice of food and diet was pretty good, but you re-educated me. It's amazing what great results you can get from small changes - if everyone visited you (and listened to you!), there would be a lot more healthy, happy and energetic people in the world - well Sydney anyway! I certainly reached my goal in terms of weight loss.

Lisa, your passion for good food is infectious. I have started reading labels and simply don't buy things that have half a dozen E numbers in them anymore! It takes a few more minutes each day to make a salad however it is very yummy and time well spent. I would recommend such a group detox to anyone as we have had your tireless and non-judgmental support.

I recently began working with Lisa doing phone consultations. This was very appealing for me as I live out of Sydney and this often excludes me from having access to many services. I find phone consultations so easy even if I did live in Sydney as travelling around Sydney can be full of traffic and time consuming so am very happy to skip all the travel. The phone consultation means we can catch up for shorter calls but more regularly for the same price as longer face to face consultations so the regular shorter calls help me to be more accountable to my goals.
I have found Lisa to be a most helpful in assisting me with my health goals and grateful to have access to her expertise in such a convenient manner.

Lisa helped me to understand about foods and specifically which foods help increase energy levels. I’ve introduced new foods into my diet that are healthy for me and my whole family. I have enjoyed taking the challenge of a detox, which I may not have done without her support.

I'm still losing weight (albeit slowly) since the sugar detox last year and I'm 3kg away from my wedding weight!!!! I still want to be a few kg's lighter than that, so I'm still working very hard at my diet and exercise.

Lisa is clearly a leader in her field. Her nutritional knowledge is broad and encompassing and her warm and professional manner immediately sets you at ease. She gave me complete clarity of my nutritional needs and was able to simplify the often confusing messages about food.

Before coming for treatment I felt bloated, lethargic and unfit. It’s a work in progress but already I feel more energetic. Life seems more exciting, more enjoyable. It’s the best thing I’ve done for myself in a long time.

Felt a lot less bloated, my tummy felt "at ease" and much flatter, which was great. Do seem to have more energy. My skin is clearer and I lost 2.5Kg. Made me realise just how much hidden sugar I consume, and how much I pick at food all day. I'm now aware of how much soft drink I was drinking, and how at night time after all the kids are finally asleep I slump in front of the TV and eat lots of junk.
Very happy that I did this, and am quite amazed that I stuck to it really well, though I did finish a day early. Would really like to do it again in 6 months.

I recently participated in Lisa’s sugar detox program and it was great. Going back to food basics and not consuming anything from a ‘packet’ really had a positive effect on me both physically and mentally. I found that even within the first few days, I wasn’t bloated after meals and I didn’t have sugar cravings in the afternoon. You don’t realise how much rubbish is in our everyday foods, even the ‘healthy’ ones, until you start reading labels…it’s frightening. I learned so much about food in general and how to cook a healthy, preservative free meal, it’s become a normal part of my everyday diet now.
