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.

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!
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 nutrient dense 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 porridge in the morning for a more filling, and nutritionally whole meal. Sprinkle it on lunch, or mix it in with a 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 flavour 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.
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.
With Smart DNA testing you can discover your genetic road map that will benefit you for the rest of your life.
In this episode of The Health Sessions I chat with molecular geneticist Margie Smith of Smart DNA (smart being an understatement!). Sounds technical I know, but Margie simplifies it into an easy to understand way of how we can look at our gene expression for a more personalised approach to better health.
Ever wondered if we can live without carbohydrates? It certainly gets a lot of stick in the press…
In this episode of The Health Sessions I catch up with Shane Richards of Holistic Foundations who chats to us about life without carbs.

As you can imagine we get a lot of email enquiries.Can I eat fruit if I’m on a weight loss plan? Is it possible that bananas make me fat? Is it ok to eat bananas whilst I’m trying to lose weight? You get the gist of it right… So it has inspired me to right this post.
First of all, I eat bananas. I not only eat them I enjoy them. So this is not a banana bashing post. But in saying that, I only eat them on certain occasions, and for me it’s all about personal circumstances (weight loss/weight gain) and timing. Continue reading →
Humans were first hunter-gatherers. They traveled in bands hunting animals and gathering nuts and berries when possible. This lifestyle was high in protein and low in carbohydrates.
Then, people farmed. Farmed food was more sustainable; larger populations sprung up; less work appealed to these previously nomadic people and carbohydrates became a predominant source of food energy. Hundreds of years later, processed foods became the dinner table staple as farmed foods were sent to factories for packaging and distribution.
Processed sugar became the most popular food in history, and continues to be so today, but its impact has been devastating. Empty carbohydrates don’t fill stomachs and satisfy appetites. People eat more, store more and grow fat. Sedentary food lifestyles have enslaved many people. If you are among the multitudes of people tired of being a slave to processed sugar and meaningless calories, today you have good news. 180 Nutrition has crafted a leading health formula that’s packed with hunter-gatherer delights.
Their original formula contains Whey protein, the good stuff from grass fed animals, flaxseed, coconut flour, stevia and more. The 180 blend is perfect for low carb diet shakes that are designed to fill your stomach, make you happy, and satisfy your sweet-tooth. Stevia, unlike sugar, has no caloric content, but its natural plant sweetness stimulates the brain to smile. 180 Nutrition knows how hard it is to move away from a processed sugar force-fed world. Their shake mix gives people options.
Blend an Original 180 Nutrition shake for breakfast or lunch, get the energy you need with the nutrition you can’t live without, and shun bad sugars today. If you replace one meal with a delicious shakes each day for just two weeks, you’ll notice real weight loss, real energy increase, and true satisfaction.
It’s been too long since you remember what if felt like to have a vibrant, energetic body. With one shake daily, you’ll get the youthful running and jumping feeling back. The delicious flavour of the shake, with subtle tones of cocoa, nuts and seeds will give your tongue a boost too. It’s the best way to combat the constant movement toward an out of shape body you can take without sacrificing any more of your precious time to daily treadmill fests.
We all know that men and women are not created equally, at least not in terms of our body chemistry. As such, the same nutritional supplements that may work for men might not be right for a woman and vice versa. However, many supplements do provide both health and fitness benefits for men and women, including protein supplements, so finding the right type of protein supplements for women is well worth the time.
About Protein Supplements
Protein, typically found in many foods such as lean meat and dairy products, helps muscles grow and rebuild. In addition, protein helps to maintain lean muscle mass and decrease body fat, which provides that lean, strong look that so many athletes have.
Technically speaking, protein is a macronutrient, just like fats and carbohydrates. Consisting of amino acids linked together, protein is responsible for muscle repair and growth, as well as helping maintain a healthy immune system and energy source.
While most people obtain the necessary amount of protein through food sources, athletes often benefit from additional protein through supplements. The recommended dietary allowance for most healthy adults is about 72 grams of protein per day for men and 54 grams of protein for women.
For serious athletes, researchers recommend consuming between 1 and 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight, with approximately 40 percent of that protein coming from food sources. As an example, a woman weighing 125 pounds requires between 125 and 188 grams of protein, while a man weighing 250 pounds needs 250 to 375 grams of protein.
Protein Supplements for Women
Variance in daily protein requirements really has more to do with weight than gender; however, many protein supplements come in a one-size-fits-all mentality that does not account for variances in weight and protein needs.
Protein supplements for women usually have over 20 grams of protein as well as vitamins and minerals for added energy, immunity support and muscle repair and growth.
Many protein supplements for women come with additives, preservatives and chemicals. As such, women should seek natural protein ingredients, such as the following:
Look for protein supplements that are low on sugar, high in dietary fiber and protein and contain additional health supplements and vitamins such as B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and potassium, folate (B9, calcium and iron.
