52 Weeks of Healthy Swaps – how are you travelling with your swaps???

In case you didn’t know, I am posting a series on Instagram and FB called 52 Weeks of healthy swaps where I write about 1 simply and easy healthy swap that you can be inspired to do each week (or at your pace) to live a less toxic and more nourishing and conscious life. While the focus is on dietary changes, the posts cover topics from all of the 8 pillars of health as health indeed is multifactorial. 

Small changes add up over the course of a year to make a big impact. It’s all the little things that we do each and every day that might seem insignificant but actually have a profound effect. The point of this series is to show that leading a healthier life is not about deprivation, but is actually about healthy swaps. Deprivation leads to resentment, whereas healthy swaps leads to a healthier, more vibrant, rich and delicious life– in all areas of your life! 

Some of the changes are so subtle that your family might not even know that you’ve made them but the effect on their health will be profound e.g. swapping margarine to butter, canola oil to olive oil, grain fed meat to grass fed meat, or farmed fish to wild fish. 

You can check them out on IG and FB by searching the hast tag #52weeksofhealthyswaps

I would love to know how you are enjoying this series? Do you find it helpful? 

If you are wanting to dive deeper and spend an entire day (9am- 3pm) with me and my co-host holistic dietician Marieke Rodenstein talking all about the fundamentals of robust nutrition and robust gut health, I invite you to register for my next Food as Medicine talk held by zoom webinar 1 August. For $150, participants will also receive a soft copy of my comprehensive How To manual (over 60 pages) that sets you up for life, including access to all 5 of my online cooking classes (valued at $79 each) so you can put the nutritional theory you’ll learn into practice! 

If you think you’ve got the food side covered and are now ready to really clean up and streamline your personal care products (including make up), cleaning products, and wellness cabinet (to become pharmacy free and chemical free), then I invite you to book  to my next free zoom webinar on The Essentials held 23 June 10am-12pm. I run these monthly, bit if none of the monthly dates/times suit you, and you prefer to watch a pre-recorded 50 minuter version whenever it suits you, simply fill out the contact form of this page and we will be in contact and send you the video link. 

Health isn’t an end goal or a destination. It’s a life long journey of swapping, pivoting, learning, and changing. It’s a journey of growth and evolving into a better, more vibrant, version of ourselves, day by day. So when you look back you see just how far you’ve come and how delicious the journey was. And that is a beautiful thing!

Are you ready to kick the chemicals in your home and be more independent in your health care?

Nourishing your body with a nutrient dense diet and other lifestyle factors (like sleep, sunshine and movement) is only one side of the health coin. The other side is kicking the toxins and these include not just dietary toxins (refined sugar, refined starches and industrial seed oils) but also environmental toxins. Did you know that our greatest exposure to environmental toxins is in our home?!? And this is where we are spending the vast majority of our time. 

Where exactly are these toxins found in our home? In many of the products that we are using each and every day! Conventional personal care products and household cleaning products contain a slew of endocrine disrupting, allergenic, carcinogenic and/or neurotoxic ingredients including PEGs, foaming agents, synthetic fragrances, colours phthalates and aluminium.

Simply because these products are allowed to be sold and are ubiquitously used DOES NOT MAKE THEM SAFE! AND sadly we are paying with our health!

Fortunately there do exist NATURAL ALTERNATIVES that are safe (non toxic), super powerful and cost effective. And the good news is that they are available online, get delivered to your door, and are available all over the world. These products are made by Young Living - the undisputed world leaders in the essential oils movement with 25 years of industry leadership. 

YL make the world’s largest range of the most pure and potent oils which quickly become your first port of call wellness cabinet for day to day issues. This is so empowering as a mum. 

Secondly, they also make the world’s most comprehensive range of personal care products and cleaning products including a range for babies, kids, men, pets and a supplements range. As a one stop shop, you can conveniently streamline your purchasing to just 👏🏻one 👏🏻place 👏🏻. Yay! Finally! A game changer for me, my health coaching clients and time poor busy mums who really don’t have time to race around to all different shops and websites.

If you’re keen to learn more about how to start or deepen your wellness journey, kick the chemicals in your home, and become more independent in your health care in order to be pharmacy-free and chemical-free as mature intended, and to be able to do it AT YOUR OWN PACE - here are some options for you:

1. If you want to have a phone chat- Complete the contact form on this page of my website and either myself or someone in my team will contact you to have a free honest chat to you over the phone to understand your needs and get you started.  

2. If you want to attend my next free live zoom webinar on 23 June 10am- 12pm where you can ask questions in real time– book here.  

3. If you want to watch a free 50 minute pre-recorded workshop at your convenience  whenever it suits you-  Complete the contact form on this page of my website and someone in my team will contact you within 24 hours to give you the password to the workshop. 

It’s super important that you don’t sign yourself up on the YL website as you’ll be put in some random team and you won’t get the benefit of all of MY team’s comprehensive online member resources and personalised support. 

I’m deeply honoured to be able to educate, inspire and empower you to lead a more conscious and nourishing, and let’s toxic, life! Together, through our conscious choices, we can shape the world we want to leave for the next generation. 

Are you curious to peek behind the veil?✨

After I had my babies I just knew that corporate life wasn’t for me. I wanted to pursue my passion in the health and wellness industry, be my own boss, work from home, set my own agenda, and above all make a genuine impact at the grass roots level.

I had no idea at the time that my Young Living business (that I fell into after a harrowing mould experience in my home) would tick all of the boxes and more. I was an essential oils skeptic, had no idea what networking was, had no idea that Young Living was a networking company, or even had a business arm attached to it. I just fell in love with the magic of their products and knew that they were somehow completely different to anything else on the market – they actually worked!!! I resisted and resisted the business side of it for a long time like an ostrich with my head buried in the sand. I was all about their products, not the profit, not the business side. I was already neck high deep in running my Star Anise Organic Wholefoods business and Broth Bar & Larder. Did I want another business? Absolutely not. Just. Not. Interested. I had no idea that simply by connecting others with YL by sharing the products in my own unique way I was already on my way to creating the most fabulous business I could ever dream of. When the revenue started surpassing my Star Anise Organic Wholefoods, with a fraction of the expenses, headaches, and work, I started giving it a little bit more of my attention. Then when I finally got over my fear of MLMs and understood how it all worked (I agree with Warren Buffet- it’s a bloody genius model by the way!) I started to attract like-minded no-BS women who shared my passion and vision, and my YL business exploded. 

Are you curious to learn how it all works? On Tues 16 June 8pm (EST) join me for a free zoom meeting where I’ll present you with information about an opportunity to join my Young Living team as a business leader where we educate, inspire and empower people all around the globe to be more independent in their health care and to kick the toxicity in their lives by healthy swapping to all-natural products made by the world leaders in the essential oils movement. The unprecedented grown in my Young Living business and Young Living as a company over the past 3 months indicates that people are (finally) prioritising their health first and foremost and turning to and demanding more natural and safe products in their health care. The world needs more people to spread this important message of empowerment, medical freedom,  independence and support through natural yet powerful means. It doesn’t feel like a ‘job’ when you’re doing what you absolutely love and what sets your soul on fire. 

Maybe you too are at the crossroads in your career like I once was. Maybe you’re looking (or yearning) for something more. 

Do you:

• want to feel more inspired and fulfilled by making a genuine impact?

• want to pursue something in the health and wellness space without formal study?

• want to do something from the comfort of your home with your kids around you?

• want to run a business or side business at your own pace, on your own terms and be your own boss?

• want to create something truly beautiful for YOU which also leaves a legacy for your children?

• want the full support of a heart-centred community with my comprehensive training material and resources so you don’t ever need to reinvent the wheel?

• want to make a fabulous income (as well as an impact) with a long term game plan that can exceed your wildest dreams?

• want a business or side hustle that can cover your household expenses and debts while opening up opportunity to travel, visit farms and constantly be learning?

• want to share products that you use, love and genuinely believe in and that make a profound difference in peoples’ lives?

• want to step into a greater version of yourself while mentoring and empowering others to do the same?

• want to be aligned with a company that puts the health of people and planet above profits and is the undisputed leader in their field with 25 years of industry leadership?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, then email me to register for a no holds barred conversation about my Young Living business and what it entails. You can ask me anything!!! Are you curious to peek behind the veil?✨

P.S. this zoom meeting is open to all YL members in my team as well as those who are not yet members in my team. If you’ve never used an essential oil or a YL product in your life – then great! You are welcome to join!
