So incase you haven’t listened to the past WEB episode series, I discussed after taking all factors into account that eating Organic Produce is definitely going to be healthier and more energy boosting for us and our children when compared to eating non organic produce. But the obvious problem is that Organic Produce usually costs a lot more and just doesn’t fit into our budgets. And so I offered 5 simple tips on how to get around this – which you can check out in WEB09, including the great resource for 12 fruits and veggies to definitely buy organic or avoid. In this episode I explain 2 ways of increasing your consumption of less toxic and bug infected produce on a budget. It's simple and very very easy to do, so tune in.

I'm sure at some point you have read about or heard about the negative health impacts that may result from sitting too much, such as diabetes and heart disease. This sedentary lifestyle that so many people are locked into for most of the day results in less physical activity and there’s plenty of evidence suggesting that that’s bad for your health. But for lots of us this is the reality of life in order to earn an income. So how can you combat sitting too much? Well thankfully there are lots of things we can do and on this episode of TheEdTalks we speak with movement expert Muriel Morwitzer, who helps us understand how we can better approach a non sitting lifestyle.

This is Part 5, the final part of this WEB episode series of “Is Organic Food Better For You” and I hope it’s helped to clear up any questions you’ve had surrounding the topic of whether or not Organic Food is better for you and worth the extra cost. Just to summarize what we’ve learnt so far in Part1, Part2, Part3 and Part4. In Part1 I explained what certified Organic means and listed the types of labels to look out for to ensure you are not being deceived by clever marketing and labelling of products. In Part2 I compared the overall nutritional value of Organic vs Non-Organic. In Part3 of the series I discussed the risks associated with eating Non-Organic food, as they can potentially have the biggest affect on our energy levels and overall wellbeing. And in the last episode Part4, I made a point of explaining the tactics that media uses to confuse things surrounding Organic vs Non-Organic, such as comparing only certain micronutrients like vitamins and minerals, rather than looking at the big picture for o

Movement of your body plays an important role in living a healthier and more fulfilling and energized life. I know first hand that when I was struck down with a severe back injury and not being able to take a few steps without excruciating pain for months, that the lack of movement began to affect my overall health andhugely my mental state of mind. So I’m always searching for ways to help me ensure that I’ll still be able to go surfing when I’m 60, play sports with my grandkids and just generally be able to move freely and without pain. To shed some light on the topic we have a fascinating discussion with Dr. Kelly Starrett, who is a doctor of Physical therapy, coach, author and speaker.

Lyme disease is a major threat to public health and a growing source of chronic illness globally. And it’s a topic that hits close to home. A few years ago a dear friend went from being one of the bubbliest people I knew to a woman who could barely get out of bed.

But she and thousands like her living with Lyme disease have so many unanswered questions. So I tracked down a brilliant expert on the topic, Dr Greg Emerson, to help. This guy is super passionate about life, our planet and about tackling Lyme disease head on.

So far in this WEB episode series (check out Part1 & Part2) of “Is Organic Food Better For You” we’ve looked at the definition of what certified organic means, how to identify a product that is truly certified organic when shopping and that when it comes to overall nutritional value, freshly picked organic fruits and vegies are better for you than non organic because of the increased quantities of antioxidants that you’ll be consuming. So now in Part3 of the series, we’re going to look at “What are the risks associated with non organic food” because the risks are what can potentially have the biggest effect on our energy levels and overall wellbeing.

For many of us, life is jam packed and not necessarily with things we love doing. Obviously our journey in life comes with sacrifices we just have to make sometimes and depending on where you are on your journey, trying to do it all when you are juggling things like family, career, relationships, and just life itself, can leave youfeeling constantly fatigued and stressed out. There comes a point when you should stop and asses your own situation, before you burn out. I really enjoyed chatting openly with founder and owner of "Create amazing health" Pamela Levin, who explains easy approaches we can take to feel energized again and stress less when trying to do it all.

Not only is human breast milk an incredible source of nutrition, it also plays a key role in protection against infection and inflammation and contributing to immune development, organ development, and a healthy gut. So it's a pretty important aspect of child development, but although breast feeding looks so peacefuland relaxing, so many women have difficulties with it and then add on top of that the fact that it is incredibly energy draining and I’m sure you realize why it’s such an important subject to discuss. On this episode, we have lactation Guru, Lori J. Isenstadt, to bare the ins and outs of breast feeding and human milk.

So in the last WEB episode 06 of this “Is Organic Food Better For You” series we looked at the definition of what certified organic means, which included terms such as produce grown free from synthetic chemical pesticides, herbicides, sewage, fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics and Genetically Modified Organisms. And then I described the markings or logos that you should become familiar with to ensure that the produce you are purchasing is certified organic such as the USDA logo in the United States or the NASAA logo in Australia. In this episode we look at one of the most often debated topics surrounding organic foods; whether or not they are more nutritious for you compared to so called conventional foods or non organic foods.  In this episode you’ll discover: How organic compares to non-organic if only comparing essential nutrients (nutrients that are essential to our survival) The best way to get the most nutritious produce you can get How organic fruits and vegetables compare with their non-organic count

Raw milk is a natural, highly nutritious whole food that unfortunately is not available legally for many people around the world. Why? Well the big reason is because milk is prone to contamination by bacteria (good and bad) from cows and the environment, that could cause severe illness in humans. But, what if quality controlled and regulated food handling standards and production processes were put in place at dairies to ensure a premium, safe product was produced? And what if the farmer had an open policy and educated the public and other farmers about their processes and procedures? Well that is what Organic Pastures Dairy has been doing in the state of California since the early 2000's with great success for the benefit of both them and consumers. In this episode of TheEdTalks we have an informative discussion with inspirational founder and CEO Mark McAfee. He’s an internationally recognized expert in raw milk safety and production, hailing from an experienced background as a medical educator and is truly

Life is definitely jam packed for so many of us these days from work, home chores, kid's activities, family commitments and so on.

It's not a nice feeling, leaving you fatigued, stressed and inevitably unhappy.
