The easiest and most profound way to offset the toxicity in our modern world

Guest User

Our bodies have not evolved to deal with the unprecedented level of toxicity that we are exposed to day to day. And when combined with suboptimal nutrition, lack of sleep, blue light at night, chronic stress, sedentary lifestyle, EMFs and nature divorcement – well, that’s a recipe for a health crisis and an epidemic of chronic illness and degenerative disease. 

The need to take care of our bodies - physically, emotionally and spiritually - is greater than ever before in human history. While there are a lot of things outside of our control, nourishing our body in all the ways it can be nourished and decreasing the toxicity in our homes (with our food, personal care products and household cleaning products) are things that are still very much within our control.

Eating a nutrient dense, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant rich diet goes a long way to offset and mop up the toxicity in our cells. Addressing our diet is, I believe, crucial in order to survive and thrive in this modern world. Your diet is what I call the low hanging fruit- the first and most obvious thing to address. Alongside this, we can start kicking the harsh chemicals in our personal care products and household cleaning products one by one as they start to run low, and healthy swap to toxic free, natural, and cost effective versions. 

Don’t know where to start? 

Learn how to radically transform your life in my FOOD AS MEDICINE DIGITAL PACKAGE which is the culmination of over 2 decades of my learnings, research and practical experience consolidated into a comprehensive yet concise package for you. This ultimate health and wellness package contains:

  • over 6 hours of nutritional talks on the fundamentals of robust nutrition, gut health and creating a less toxic home

  • a 60 page “How To” manual that sets you up for life with everything from simple meal formulas to shopping lists to the questions to ask whne buying food to recommended practitioners to water filters and everything in between

  • all 5 of my online cooking classes (bone broth, slow cooks, organ meats, baked cakes and chocolate) which arm you with the practical skills to put the theory into practice.

Co presented with Marieke Rodenstein (Australia’s leading holistic dietician and Kresser Institute functional medicine practitioner) this ultimate package provides you with all the tools, information and resources to optimise your health through diet and other lifestyle choices.

Easter 2021 - Organic easter bunnies available at Broth Bar!

Guest User

 

We have been busy little bunnies indeed at Broth Bar & Larder making our beloved no-guilt nutritious and delicious easter chocolates that we offer every year.

eggsUntitled-2.jpg

AS USUAL, WE HAVE 2 FABULOUS OFFERINGS THIS EASTER.
BOTH ARE AVAILABLE NOW UNTIL STOCKS LASt -


1) ORGANIC YUMMY BUNNY

These little fellows are made of our artisan organic solid raw dark chocolate and retail for $22.50. Perfect for all the yummy mummies, delicious daddies and little bunnies out there….these will get your bunny tails shaking! 

2) MINI SOKOLATA DELIGHTS


These delightful little half eggs are the perfect mouth-sized treat. Each egg is decorated with either a goji berry, an activated almond or activated cinnamon buckwheat. You can pop them into some hard plastic egg-shaped containers from $2 shops for those treasured Easter egg hunts. 

They are retailing for $16/100g bag and each bag has a mixture of the 3 flavours. 

THE INGREDIENTS THAT GO INTO OUR ARTISAN CHOCOLATE:


Our artisan chocolate is made with the following highest quality 3 ingredients:

  • Certified organic raw cacao powder

  • Certified organic raw cacao butter

  • Mineral rich pure Canadian maple syrup

To create our Easter range, I took our original Sokolata recipe and tweaked it to make it more kid-friendly for younger palates by increasing the raw cacao butter content and decreasing the raw cacao powder content.

Because it is less bitter, we reduced the amount of maple syrup as less sweetener is needed when there is less raw cacao powder. Commercial manufacturers increase the amount of sweetener for kids’ chocolates but we did the exact opposite as we know how unnecessary and damaging an excess of sweeteners are, especially for young growing bodies. The result is a silky smooth melt-in-your-mouth buttery sensation with a hint of raw dark chocolate. We trialled these on the harshest of critics (kids!) and got the big thumbs up!

To read about the nutritional benefits of raw cacao powder and what’s in commercially-produced chocolate that you might want to steer clear of (such as soy lecithins, refined sweetens, agave syrup, preservatives, milk powders), read one of my earlier newsletters here.

If these Easter chocolates don’t take your fancy, there’s always our sokolata (raw dark chocolate slabs…choose from 4 different flavours) or our raw cacao coconut balls (sweetened with whole medjool dates).
