I recently posted a video interview with Dr Zoë Harcombe called “How nutritious are vegetables really?” A lot of the information Zoë shared was news to me and I knew it would it get a big reaction from people. Specially from vegans and vegetarians. We’ve all been brought up to believe that there is nothing on earth more nutritious than …
This is not a question I ever thought I would ask. Surely the incredible benefits of vegetables are indisputable? That’s why we’re told to eat a minimum of 5 a day, isn’t it? And shouldn’t we really be aiming for 8 to 10 a day? It turns out that “5 a day” could just be a PR stunt What?? Surely …
I hate brussel sprouts. No, I mean really hate them. I literally cannot eat a cooked sprout. I mean why would I? They’re gross, right? This was me just a few short years ago.

In the meantime, here are some tips on how to get your body efficiently fat burning and your energy levels to soar (taken from my recent article in …

In my latest article for Natural Health magazine I look at the pros and cons. I’ve been walking the organic path for a long time now and in the early days it was a lonely one …
