I’ve been posting way too much about parasites and ketosis lately and I figured it was time for a post that is just breezy, fun and doesn’t involve any “poo” talk (which for me really is quite a stretch but I’m up for the challenge). So I thought I’d write about my recent trip away to Queensland and give you all a peek at some sneaky snaps from my time up here (I leave on Sunday Morning).

A very brief post on coffee enemas
Oh hello there. You’ve found some very old content. Please read the disclaimer on this page before thinking I’m still a total sheep who has been sucked into a bone-broth worshipping fad diet. Been there, learned from that and am now a much less rigid human.
I’ve had so many questions and queries lately about coffee enemas that I thought I’d better do a post answering the most common questions.
My go-to ketogenic meals
Oh hello there. You’ve found some very old content. Please read the disclaimer on this page before thinking I’m still a total sheep who has been sucked into a bone-broth worshipping fad diet. Been there, learned from that and am now a much less rigid human.
In this post I talked about why for me and where my health is up to, I’ve decided to undertake a ketogenic diet. The response from you guys, wanting to know more, telling me your families are also eating this way for a short period of time, has prompted me to collate my go-to ketogenic meals, to demonstrate that Ketosis isn’t all doom, gloom and sweet butternut pumpkin deprivation.
With an open mind, ketosis needn’t be a psychological burden. If I, a girl whose favourite foods include pumpkin, sweet potato and buckwheat, can survive the low-carb life long enough to rid herself of candida, there’s hope for almost anyone, right?
Hard Core Healing: Taking GAPS to the next level

Post edited August 2016 to refine some points made. I’ve learned a lot and evolved my outlook since January and don’t want to mislead anyone.
It’s been a while since GAPS posts. Christmas, New Years, Travel, work, enemas, all have been taking up lots of time. On that last note – enemas – let’s dive right in to how I’ve stepped GAPS up a notch.

Where to from here?
After a full year of inching closer to a whole foods lifestyle, I was feeling pretty content with the dramatic change in not only my eating patterns but also in my overall health. However, I knew I still had a way to go. I was significantly underweight and still prone to bloating, gas and indigestion. I knew that there must be more that I could do with food, but I was confused as to where to head next. I mean, there were so many options to choose from and so many anecdotes claiming that vegan, no paleo, wait … hang on vegetarian, or perhaps blood type or … and …but etc. etc. was the way to go.
Transitioning to whole foods – December 2012
I have many delicious whole food memories of December 2012 …
- My first time trying chicken, mango and avocado salad.
- Making my own bliss balls with raw cacao (oh stawp!).
- Creating an 100% wholefoods christmas pudding.

Transitioning to whole foods – November 2012
My diet continued to get more wholesome and I’d never had a more varied or delicious diet in my life.
When I contracted a tummy bug early in the month, apart from the weight loss, I bounced right back, and (if it’s possible) felt even more energetic; cleansed even.

Transitioning to whole foods – October 2012
This was my first month of 100% whole foods. The only exceptions I made were ones I didn’t realise I was making; vegetable oil in an organic vegetable stock powder, not knowing that agave nectar was a burden for the liver etc.
I felt empowered by my new resolve; I had no restrictions, so long as the food was quality and minimally processed (to the best of my knowledge) … I’d become a true “qualitarian”.

Transitioning to whole foods – September 2012
The month I turned 16, and I can categorically say that this was the month where I had my final ‘it’s not worth it moments’. I’d say that 90% of my diet was totally clean; wheat-free wholegrains, lots of veggies, fresh fruit, natural dairy (I’d switched to 100% organic milk), nuts, seeds, quality fish and meat and small amounts of things like honey and cacao. However there was still that 10% that I needed to improve on – for the sake of my physical and mental health.
