Food as Medicine talk 23 May – GOING VIRTUAL!!

My Food as Medicine talk on 23 May 2020 is STILL going ahead but in virtual form via zoom webinar so you can attend from the comfort of your own home – wherever that may be. For the foreseeable future, the way of our new world is to connect digitally rather than physically. The terrific part is that we are not limited by geographic location so this means that our message that food can be the most powerful medicine can be delivered to a far broader audience. 

My co-presenter Marieke Rodenstein and I think it is now more important  than ever before that people focus on improving their health and building as robust an immune and digestive system as possible. We are excited that people are finally seeing wellness as a necessity and not as a luxury. Strengthening our physical and emotional resilience is the single most important thing we can do right now. Eating a nutrient-dense traditional wholefoods diet is still probably the single most important step you can take to improve your health. Dialling in the other foundations or pillars of health that we will discuss will further bolster your health and resilience.

We are capping the number of participants to 40 people to make it more interactive and exclusive. 

Because a wholefoods lunch can not be provided as originally planned,  instead I will be gifting each participant 3 of my online cooking classes (retailing at $79 each) so that you can learn how to make your own bone broth, slow cooks and organ meat meals in your home. As I’ve always argued, cooking and preparing your own nourishing meals at home is the fastest, most profound (and cheapest) way to vibrant health. Now that we are eating out less and forced to eat in more (whether we want to or not!) home cooking is taking on greater importance in our lives and knowing how to master the wholefoods staples is essential. For those who stay on the zoom webinar until the very end of the day as activate participants will ALSO receive (as a treat from me) 2 additional online cooking classes: gluten free baked cakes and chocolate (both retailing at $79) so you will potentially receive 5 online cooking classes with a total value of $395!!!

We understand that spending a whole day in front of a screen is not healthy so we have decided that the second half of the day (focusing on reducing the environmental toxicity in your home and boosting your system with Young Living essential oils) will be pre-recorded for you to  view in your own time in the comfort of your home a few days prior to the 23 May.

Here’s how it will work:

1. We will send you the zoom link to the live webinar prior to the talk together with pre recorded essential oils video.

2. We go live at 9am sharp on Sat 23 May with the Food as Medicine talk finishing at approx. 1pm.

3. Straight after the Food As Medicine talk we will dive into a 30 minute presentation on essential oils to delve deeper into the concepts in the pre-recorded video and why we feel the YL oils are a must-have powerful tool in your health tool box especially amidst the current global health crisis.

4. We will then open it up to Q&A for the entire talk (and pre recorded video). The aim is to finish by 2pm ish.

5. After the talk we will email you the comprehensive 30 page Food as Medicine manual that sets you up for life with all of the information covered in the talk.

6. We will email you either 3 or 5 of the online cooking classes depending if stayed to the very end of the webinar.

Some recent testimonials:

“My beautiful bundle of new oils and diffuser in the YL starter kit has been a very welcomed distraction from the fear that is going on around me. I use them daily and am having so much fun getting to know them all. The Thieves oil is everything I imagined and more! I am so impressed by the blends which smell delicious! (unlike many others I have purchased over the years) and I can still smell them all the way to end of the diffusing time of 10 hours! especially the Thieves...I just can’t love that oil more! ”

— Fluer

“I have been following your Instagram for over 12 months now and I love the daily uses of the essential oils ... but it wasn’t until your workshop that I truly understand the power that the young living oils have to offer ”

— Paris

“Hi Soulla, I just wanted to say thank you so much for the workshop last night. I found it to be so incredibly informative, coupled with so many “ah-ha” moments. This journey was always going to be a slow process for me, but I’m pleased to say I’ve come home from work tonight and sat down with my husband (who attended for a bit) and he is onboard with swapping over our cleaning products. It’s my goal to become more educated and aware around healthy swaps, and the fact he’s in agreement to make a shift is a massive win. You’ve really opened the door up to a new world and I think this might just be the beginning! Keep doing you and spreading your magic ✨ I’m so excited to see where this journey takes us. Thank you again”

— Ashley

“Soulla, I am also loving all your videos and resources on your closed Star Anise Essentials FB page. Thanks for all the time you have invested into building that amazing resource along with your online member portal! ”

— Erin

“I loved the workshop and very much enjoyed learning about the uses and ways in which to use and apply the oils to my life, and incorporate them in nearly every aspect of life. I will definitely be signing up. I really thought there was a massive difference between young living and other leading brands. It is a testament to Young Living, because I can already smell and notice the quality difference. I loved hearing about your journey because I am obsessed with your products and philosophy on eating...”

— Madeline

“I really admire your energy and determination to continue to spread your love and kindness into your community and environment. Your physical being is a true reflection of the passion and zest for life you insist upon for yourself, your family and friends. Be proud of you, Soulla. You are a great inspiration to me and I am extremely grateful to you, to be invited into your home, to receive your guidance and advice when I ask, thank you”

How to secure unlimited supply of bone broth and why you should drink it daily

What’s so good about bone broth and why is it flying off our Broth Bar & Larder shelves with unprecedented demand since the Corona virus pandemic? For so many reasons but one very important one is that broth is immune-building and fortifying.

“Who needs a strong immune system? Everyone! ”

— Soulla Chamberlain, Founder of Broth Bar & Larder / Star Anise Organic Wholefoods

Modern science shows that our immune system underpins all other systems of our body. Bone broth is a must for anyone who is immune-compromised or for anyone who aspires to have a bullet-proof immune system. Yes please! In the Jewish culture chicken broth is revered as “Jewish penicillin” and the Chinese administered it to the sick and dying because a good chicken broth was said to “bring back the dead”. There is science that backs up this wisdom. Chicken soup has been shown, in an in vitro study, to inhibit the neutrophil migration that triggers the onset of common cold symptoms. 

People who regularly consume broth report feeling stronger with more energy, vitality and less inflammation. This is one of the many ways of how bone broth changed my life 13 years ago when I started making it from my home and selling the surplus to my friends (some of you are still my customers!). In addition to its immune building properties, other reasons why bone broth is a daily staple for me:

• It is high in collagen- which is essential for building, repairing and maintaining our osteo skeletal system and for healthy hair, skin and nails. 

• It is high in gelatin – which is gut healing and sealing, and promotes regular bowl movements 

• It is high in glycine – this amino acid balances out our muscle meat intake (hence why we should ideally consume bone broth whenever we consume muscle meat), helps the liver to detoxify the body, and promotes emotional stability and sound sleep. 

But like everything, not all bone broth is created equal!! Our broth is long slow simmered and made from certified organic 100% pastured chicken or beef bones, reverse osmosis filtered water and certified organic herbs.

We are selling our bone broth at Broth Bar in pre-packaged containers as well as hot broth in disposable (biodegradable) takeaway cups. 

While we are working tirelessly to expand production offsite in a commercial kitchen, quantities are limited with the unprecedented demand so if you are frustrated with not being able to purchase as much as you’d like or if you are home isolating, I highly recommend that you learn to make your own broth via my ONLINE BONE BROTH WORKSHOP. Learning how to make your own bone broth is one of the most powerful things you can ever do for your and your family’s health. 

How to consume bone broth:

• Drink straight up in a cup as part of a meal or as a nourishing snack.  Boost flavour and nutrients with what we call a “flavour or broth bomb” such as fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, Red Boat fish sauce, tamari, chilli flakes, fresh herbs, or a drop of Young Living essential oils of lemongrass, ginger, oregano, rosemary or basil. 

• Use as a base to a soup

• Use as a base to a casserole

• Use to cook rice (e.g. fried rice or risottos) 

• Use at the bottom of a saucepan when reheating food to prevent food sticking to saucepan 

• Freeze beef broth cubes in silicon ice cube trays and add to smoothies (I’ve been doing this for 13 years – hence how our broth cubes, and beef & spinach cubes were born) 

• Use the tallow that rises on the top of beef broth to cook meat with (hence the genesis of our Tallow Cubes)

Here’s what some people have said about my Bone Broth workshop:

“I credit my falling pregnant after 13 rounds of IVF and being told I could never have children to your bone broth! Miracle cure!”

— Emma

“I LOVED your broth workshop. It distilled down everything that I had spent months researching from library books on brothing! So practical”

— Suzanne

“The broth workshop also amazing, I watched it then made it. Even though I’ve made broth often I’ve struggled to get the gelatinous character- not this time!!! It’s so jelly like it’s amazing you answered many questions!”

— Marianna

“Hi Soulla, I’ve made a dedicated effort to drink broth every day for the last couple of months and the pain in my arthritic hands has almost gone….It’s a miracle!!”

— Sandy

“Dear beautiful amazing Soulla, I just had to send this to you and let you know that I think of you with such love and extreme gratitude every time I put on a pot of broth. My children are now asking for it and I can’t get enough of it. Endless love and thanks to to you for sharing your knowledge. That bone broth workshop was the best investment ever!”

— Kerry

“Thank you very much for your bone broth workshop. There are so many things I loved about it- and about the way you run your workshops. First of all the scientific based approach as well as the emphasis on the most efficient methods (time and ingredient - wise). Lots of small details that make a difference (I.e size of pot needed, etc). And also your honest and personal approach to it - which is helpful and refreshing- as well as your passion which always inspires me to eat and cook more healthy. Finally I am really thankful that in addition to your workshops you also sell your beautiful products which make for healthy fast food for the family on days when I’ve run out of food or too busy to make from scratch”

— Claudia

“Thanks for the Bone Broth class on Thursday night, full of fun and inspiration. I had been intending to do a class for some time, And am thankful I finally committed, can’t wait for the next, your passion and no nonsense approach has left me extremely inspired”
