Change Comes From Within
Have you ever wondered why one person reads a book, goes to a seminar, does a program, starts a new habit, and is able to change their life around, yet another person who reads the same book, goes to the same seminar, does the same program and begins the same new...
The importance of emotional self care rituals
This is something a little different. My beautiful friend Kim Morrison, the owner of Twenty 8 chemical free skincare who is the queen of Self Care has created a mindset series with myself for the FLP Program, and it was too spectacular not to share. Enjoy! Is it just me? Or is life sometimes just […]
Lectins, the ‘New Bad’ – or Have We Got It All Wrong?
Human survival has depended on the adaptation of the environment and the food available in that environment. Before ultra-processed foods and grocery stores, if you lived in an extreme climate (polar regions, deserts and high altitude) where plants did not grow well,...
Diet and Lifestyle Factors For a Healthy Mind and Body
Mental Illness affects one in five people in Australia. Although this is according to the 2018 statistics (the latest available), the numbers are substantially higher than the 2014 statistics. Because there is a trend upward, it means we are doing something wrong....
Mental Health: The Critical Role of Nutrition and Lifestyle
My brother used to live in Melbourne. He was there for many years, including during 2020 when it was besieged by lockdowns and boundaries, masks and 1.5 metre distancing (which still continues to this day in parts). Thank goodness he lived on the Mornington Peninsula...

With the cooler weather now upon us, we generally see an increase in colds and flu. You can certainly increase your chance of avoiding colds and flu this winter by having a stronger immune system.

Your Health is in YOUR Hands, Not the Government’s
I’ve always been curious. I love asking questions and digging deep to find the answers. They say that the quality of your questions will give you the quality you seek in the answer. But how do we know what to ask and how do we know where the answer is and whether it...
Opportunity Knocks Many Times – When Will You Answer?
Throughout my life I’ve been given many opportunities to change the direction of my life, some I’ve taken and others I’ve left behind. At Changing Habits, we give many opportunities to people to change the direction not only of their health, but their life. Take the...
The Devil We Know – DuPont’s Dirty Secret
At 19 years old, my Aunt Bobby gave me a yoghurt culture that she was given by a Lebanese lady. It was an old traditional culture and I treasured it. I made yoghurt in my glass thermos every other day to keep it alive. It always held its strength and the yoghurt was...
Mental Health and the Healthy Keto Way
I always joke to my husband that I have a new boyfriend or a new best friend (usually the author of a book I’m reading). My current boyfriend is Ross Ellenhorn. Ross is the author of How We Change (And Ten Reasons Why We Don’t). As I’m reading this book my head is...
Cholesterol Readings and the Healthy Keto Way
Over the past 30 years I’ve talked a lot about cholesterol. I’ve written a report on it, I’ve compiled questions to ask your doctor about blood cholesterol readings and medications to lower cholesterol and I write about it in my book Lab To Table. Now I find myself...
An Open Letter to Rich Roll About Just Eggs
I love listening to the Rich Roll Podcast. He does long interviews and you really get to know his guests. It was Rich Roll’s first interview with Zac Bush that prompted me to follow Dr Bush, then meet him in Melbourne and invite him to speak at The Nutrition Academy...
An Unknown Future: Why We Should Create Health Now
Last May, my brother Marcus called me to tell me that his eight-year-old son had been vomiting on and off for three days and he was concerned. He asked me what he should do. Let me first explain why I said what I did and why my brother waited three days before he was...
What Did I Learn After My Latest Round of The Fat Loss Protocol?
I love The Fat Loss Protocol. I do it yearly as a check in to stop me becoming complacent with my eating habits. The first time I did the protocol was late November 2012, leading into Christmas. So, in 2020, I decided to do it at the same time. The thing I love about...
Food Irradiation – Why I Say ‘No’
The war on germs has gone unchecked. Last year, the narrative was to wash your hands, wear a mask and stay 1.5 metres from each other. This narrative may work if we support the theory that a virus causes disease. However, what about the terrain theory which says that...
Fermenting Foods on the Healthy Keto Way
Sometimes I feel like I’m fighting an unwinnable battle regarding the health and safety of our foods. Irradiation of fruits and vegetables in Australia is now on the agenda and more and more genetically modified microbes are being created to manufacture plant-based...
