This is  just one of the questions we ask leading naturopath and nutritionist Tania Flack as we go over our results from our DNA test.

If you have no idea what the DNA testing is, listen to this podcast first: The ultimate blueprint for better health. I’ve time coded the bullet points so can you jump straight to the bits that interest you most in the video if you’re short on time.

Podcast Episode #7

By Guy Lawrence

Eat fat to lower cholesterol… What about dairy, is it healthy? Can I run an ultra-marathon or CrossFit on a low carb/ high fat or paleo diet?

These are just some of the questions we cover in this episode of The Health Sessions as we catch up with Nora Gedgaudas, best selling author of Primal Body, Primal Mind: Beyond the Paleo Diet. I’ve time coded the bullet points so you jump straight to the bits that interest you most in the video. But when you’ve got the time, it’s well worth kicking back and watching the whole video as the content is invaluable!

Minding your mitochondria

There’s a reason why this video went viral over the internet when it first came out. I highly recommend watching it and that is why I share it with you on the blog.

As Dr Terry Wahls (she’s the speaker in the video) put it, she’s the canary in the coal mine. If it seems a bit technical at first or if you don’t know what a mitochondria is, stay with it as the overall message is a must!

There’s also a great interview here with Jimmy Moore as he chats to Dr Terry Wahls regarding her experience with multiple sclerosis (MS) and also using a paleo diet. Enjoy, Guy.

Do you eat like this? Do you eat processed foods? How many leafy greens do you eat each day? Love to hear your thoughts…

Guy: I can’t tell you how many times I’ve filmed myself for this blog and cut my head off whilst shooting! So we thought we’d have some fun and keep this mighty fine CrossFit athlete a mystery, as he shares with us his post workout protein smoothie.

Can you guess who it is? Continue reading →

I asked Caroline if she would mind filming one of her many magic healthy recipes, and she has kindly filmed this video for us. A simple healthy snack for the kids in the shape of muffins she made for her nephews birthday recently. The feedback I got was that it wasn’t only the kids eating these muffins! Continue reading →

After being on so many antibiotics due to my elbow infection (you can watch the video here), I have been on a hunt to find superior probiotics to help recolonise my gut health. I’m happy to say I stumbled across the company Progurt as I’m quickly learning there are many forms of bacteria strains, strength’s and qualities.

I have put this quick video together to show you what I’m doing each morning to create my super strength probiotic high protein breakfast. I stumbled across the company Progurt and have been highly impressed with the probiotic it produces and wanted to share it with you.  Continue reading →

There’s a reason we call Stu ‘The Whippet’. He’s a sprightly fellow, however, hopefully not for much longer.

After doing CrossFit for the last six months Stu’s become so lean that ocean swimming (a favourite pass time of his) has become more like taking an ice bath and each session is getting notably shorter due to the poor Stu being unbearably cold.

So in this edition of 180 seconds or less, we join Khan and Stu on the couch and chat about Stu’s new dietary and strength training endeavor, in which he’s looking to put his days of Whippetry behind him and become more of a Rottweiler, or better yet Great Dane.

The diet is based on the “Bigger Smaller Bigger” plan, put together by fitness and nutrition experts Dr John Beradi, Martin Rooney and Nate Green. They claim it helped Green pack on a massive 20lbs in 28 days, so we’re looking forward to seeing what it does for Stu!

Snatch The CrossFit Monkey idolises his fellow 180 Nutrition sponsored athletes. After seeing the Australian CrossFit champion Chad Mackay squat with one arm after shoulder surgery, Snatch wanted to emulate his hero!

After his first workout ‘Fran’ being a very impressive 2 minutes 34 seconds, Snatch’s confidence his high. With wild instincts coursing through his veins being fresh out of the jungle, we still feel we need to keep his ego in check and improve his table manners…

You can follow Snatch’s journey to the 2013 CrossFit Games here.

Mate: So you can actually compete against each other in CrossFit?

Me: Yep…Pretty cool hey!

Mate: So what exactly will you be doing?

Me: Well, I’m not really sure. But somewhere along the lines of running, jumping, throwing weights around…You know, the usual…

Mate: Umm, that’s about as clear as mud.

So what is CrossFit? This is a question I get asked often. After my competition last weekend the question I get now is…Well what’s this CrossFit competition thing you did then?

I’m still trying to answer both so I thought I’d put this post together.

If you have been following my crossfit journey, a few months back I mentioned that my coach Cassie had entered myself and Stu into our first CrossFit competition at CrossFit Feel Good in Sydney. Well that day had finally come.  Continue reading →

If you are into your paleo snacks, then these gluten free all natural high protein muffins are a winner! You can prepare them in under 10 minutes. A while ago, we put this paleo recipe into a blog post – High protein Bluberry muffin loaf. They are that good, we though we’d put the recipe into a video and turn them into paleo muffins.

Once made, you can pop them in the freezer and take one each day for your lunch box. By lunchtime they are defrosted and ready to eat. Delicious! Hands down better than any processed snack you buy for $5 bucks on the run.

• Makes 6 muffins
• Prep time: 10 minutes
• Cooking time: 20 minutes
