Sourdough vs regular bread

You know, bread has copped it’s fair share of flak over recent years. Diets such as the paleo diet and the ketogenic diet have vilified bread and all grain based foods as evil incarnate – be sure to wear a necklace of garlic cloves and carry a bottle of holy water if even entering into [...]

How to make Kombucha

By James On February 8, 2016 · Add Comment
If I asked you to sample a fermented tea beverage made with the assistance of a sugar consuming symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast, you’d probably look at me with deep suspicion (or disgust) and walk away. However this delicious drink commonly called Kombucha packs a powerful hit of probiotic goodness in each bubbly mouthful. [...]

The importance of fermented foods in a healthy diet

By James On February 2, 2016 · Add Comment
Gut health – it’s all the rage these days, and not without good cause. Our gastrointestinal tract is an amazing piece of anatomy that mediates the delicate interplay between our outer and inner environment. It absorbs nutrients, eliminates toxins, and samples every piece of organic and inorganic matter that passes through it to determine the [...]

‘Tis the season to…heal your gut!

By James On December 15, 2015 · Add Comment
Christmas is upon us, which unfortunately for most adults means one thing – stress! The rush to complete the purchase of those last few Christmas presents, the inevitable overindulgence at multiple pre-Christmas celebrations, the pressure of work deadlines as the end of the year looms.

One of the key principles in the practice of Naturopathy is to find the underlying cause of the health issue at hand. A patient that comes to see me with digestive disturbance will be ill served by the simple prescription of laxative herbs to ease their constipation. This is what is commonly referred to as [...]

By now everybody should know the importance of eating a variety of fruit and especially vegetables.

Turmeric (aka curcumin) demystified

By James On July 29, 2015 · Add Comment
If there was one herbal supplement I would comfortably recommend all of my patients to take on a regular basis, it would be turmeric (botanical name curcuma longa). Turmeric is probably the best natural medicine to address three of the biggest drivers of disease in modern society – oxidation, inflammation and toxicity. It is extremely safe and [...]

Why artificial sweeteners could be worse for you than sugar

By James On July 21, 2015 · Add Comment
By now, the connection between a diet high in refined carbohydrates and the development of type 2 diabetes is widely accepted by most if not all of those involved in medicine and public health. What is now becoming clear, however, is that the chemical sweeteners commonly recommended as a replacement for these sugars may in actual [...]

By James On July 14, 2015 · Add Comment
Winter is a challenging time for our family’s immune health. With one of our kids attending preschool, and our other younger child regularly sharing toys and food with his big sister, the cycle of germs seems at times never ending.
