EP 145 – Eat This: 7 ways to make it through the holidays

EP 144 – Eat This: Colds, flus and viruses

It started with a few sneezes. A drippy nose where if a tissue wasn’t to hand, it was an embarrassing situation of a literally runny nose. The next day my energy started to dwindle.

I was almost like a cuckoo clock chiming on the hour, I’d wake up and cough until exhaustion and then fall […]

EP 140 – Eat This: A fresh perspective on organic, growth and food trends

Where do you choose to spend your grocery or food budget? If you’ve listened to this podcast and show before, you’ll know that I’m an avid weekly market goer, and I LOVE knowing where my food comes from.

EP 138 – Eat This: Immunity and reducing inflammation

Sneezes, coughs, droopy and tired looking eyes are all signs that some sort of infection has taken hold of your body. It doesn’t feel good, it slows you down, makes you stop when you don’t want to – or take medicines so you can keep going, but there’s no denying it, being sick sucks.
