“Less than 10 countries world wide fluoridate more than 50% of their water supplies – so why do we have it here in Australia?”

Guy: Unless you live under a rock or watch too much daytime TV, you probably know there’s an ongoing debate on whether we should be drinking our tap water (mainly because of fluoride). From dumbing our intelligence down through our pineal gland to causing cancer, fluoride is under the microscope and it all feels a little X-Files. Just type in ‘fluoride side effects’ into google and you will see what I mean.

What does concern me though is that most of Continental Europe does not fluoridate water. You can view the list here.

So when Naturopath Tania Flack started to research the state on Sydney/Australia water and came back with this post, I was trying to figure out if I was completely shocked or actually not surprised at all! Either way, this is why I avoid drinking Australian tap water.  Over to Tania… Continue reading →

Salt. Public enemy No.1 along with fat. And just like fat I have come to the conclusion it’s actually essential for the body, but just like fat there’s salt I will not touch and then there’s salt I ensure I have daily. So is salt healthy? Depends… and here’s my thoughts… Continue reading →

Everything you have ever experienced, felt, or conducted in life is due to brain function…. It is impossible for a person to become healthy mentally or physiologically without a healthy brain. – Datis Kharrazin DHSc, DC, MS, MNeuroSci

After kicking off the new year with the month of the gut, A.K.A the second brain, we thought we’d move north and check out the most powerful computing system there is; The Human Brain.

Even though there is a known common distinction between mind and body, I view things a little differently. We already know that having a healthy heart or liver is a direct result of the foods we eat, and the lifestyle choices we make, so why would the brain be any different? After all it’s all housed under the same roof, and that to me simply means it’s still part of the same thing.

Then the burning questions for me are: Continue reading →

“Life isn’t about finding yourself, it’s about creating yourself” – unknown

This blog post has been long overdue! Ever wondered who is behind all our healthy 180 protein supplement recipes? Well it’s with great pleasure I get to introduce Caroline Howe into the frame. But this is no ordinary story.

A mother of two, Caroline overcame cancer twice whilst still in her early thirties (including having her thyroid removed) and decided to make a shift in her health and wellbeing once and for all. Five years on Caroline is one of the healthiest and fittest people I know and is a true inspiration to others!

Finding natural and healthy low carb protein snacks can be difficult! Eating well is one of the biggest challenges a person can undertake. In fact, and this says a lot about how hard it is to eat well, most people can get themselves to exercise regularly with greater ease than making themselves eat well. Why is it easier to exercise than to eat well? Going to the gym, taking a walk or run outdoors or playing a cardiovascular sport are all finite activities that have a clear beginning and a clear end. If a person is not exercising, he or she can be sitting.

Eating well, enjoying a low carbohydrate diet, high in vitamins, minerals, good fats and protein is an infinite goal. A person cannot eat well for breakfast and reward him or herself with a chocolate shake for snack. However, with a little help and some insider information anyone can move toward healthy food choices while stimulating the sweet tooth and satiating a growling stomach.

With 180 Nutrition, people who want to eat well have endless options. They can order the 180 original formula and use it as a meal supplement, mixing a delicious, sweet tooth slaying, nutritious, belly grumble-stopping shake, for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Add 180 Nutrition to a bowl of granola in the morning for a more filling, and nutritionally whole meal. Sprinkle it on lunch, or mix it in with a potato salad and enjoy the flavor expected, not a healthy grainy flavor that is so common with other health products.

The secret of 180 nutrition is the use of all standard, found in nature, not chemically engineered products. When cooking, a person can add a tablespoon of the original formula to a recipe and not alter the flavor of his or her favorite food while packing it with otherwise hard to get nutrients. For anyone who has ever wondered why the mid-day craving comes on, the answer is simple: lack of nutrition triggers the brain to beg for sugar, because the brain lives on sugar and without it, the mind becomes dull.

Feed the brain healthy carbohydrates instead of processed sugar, and the time release of the natural carb will last long enough to fend off the snack cravings that sink most people’s diets everyday. And for those people out there who want a healthy afternoon snack, a great, low carb protein snack is available. The 180 Nutrition Protein Bars make a great snack for the middle of a workday and they are prefect for a bite after working out. The trick being, people who want to eat well need to fill their diet with nutrients that provide stable energy, long lasting appetite satisfaction and real flavors that stimulate the tongue. With 180 Nutrition, such a diet is a reality.
