Why We Aren’t Getting Enough MSM & Why It’s So Good For Our Skin!

msmI’ve been taking MSM over the last month or two without thinking too much about it. I first learned about MSM while I was in Canada, but never really bothered to try taking it myself until I starte watching a friend of mine take it almost daily in their home made lemonade or smoothies.

Since I’ve been supplementing my diet with MSM powder, I have to say that the results are noticeable. My skin and hair have definitely improved. I want to try using MSM topically so that will be the next experiment. In the meantime, I’d like to continue using MSM daily as an addition to my diet…

Just to recap in the video, the foods naturally high on MSM include (as long as the food source gets direct rain water from the sky):

  • Cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts, kale, watercress)
  • Durian
  • Hot chili/peppers
  • Garlic
  • Onion
  • Hemp seeds
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Bee pollen (the most complete food on the planet)
  • Blue-green algae
  • Spirulina
  • Maca

If you are considering adding MSM to your diet, start with taking around 1/4 of a teaspoon twice per day in water or a homemade lemonade. You can build up to a maximum of around 3 tablespoons twice daily but most of us see benefits way before this dosage so don’t need to go so high.

My First Real Life Workshop On Cacao The Amazing Superfood

I ran my very first “real life” workshop on the weekend on my favorite topic - cacao!

I had a group of twenty-five people with me on the day making raw chocolate which got a bit hectic but I was so deliriously happy to be able to spread the word about this amazing superfood that we can all eat bucket loads of and enjoy sooooo much.

Unfortunately you missed out on the actual making of the raw chocolate, but I filmed the talk so you could be a part too. Enjoy …

I’ve Been Having A Lot Of Fun With Raw Chocolate!

It’s been all about chocolate in the High on Health house over the last few days. After David Wolfe’s lecture on Sunday night I think “chocolate” slipped into my subconscious because I’ve since been making a lot of beautiful raw chocolate creations!

On Monday night I made my friend Anna a very rich raw chocolate cake for her birthday. This recipe was borrowed from Russell James who as you know I get a lot of inspiration from. Instead of topping the cake with Russell’s tricky berry stuff (okay not tricky, but I’m lazy), I threw on some strawberries and goji berries that had been soaked until soft. And yes, I realize Russell’s cake is a lot prettier than mine, but he’s a CHEF!

I’ve been getting into the habit of keeping my fridge stocked with young coconuts, which can be a little tricky considering I’m sharing the fridge with three other vegetarians so sometimes it’s a bit of a squish. Continue reading →

Why It’s Important To Learn From Health Experts Without Losing Motivation To Do Our Own Experimentation…

Last night I got to see David Wolfe live in Brisbane! The event lived up to every expectation that I had so I was super excited when I got home and ready to wake up early the next day and spend it going through my notes and researching some of the topics that came up in the talk.

But maybe I got a little TOO excited.

While talking to a friend this morning I realized that I can get into the habit of putting “health experts” on a bit of a pedestal and taking everything they have to say a little too seriously.

Instead, it’s a lot healthier to learn and get motivation from their advice and experiences, do your own research, listen to your intuition and experiment with your own regimes. My video talks a little more about this stuff-
