The debate is fierce.  This Stanford University professor compares The Keto Diet and The Mediterranean Diet.

Discovered this lady’s work this week and added her to the site:

Hanna Sillitoe has an inspiring story: she suffered for over 20 years with skin conditions; acne, eczema and psoriasis.  Her tipping point was when she was prescribed a chemotherapy drug, with its potentially catastrophic side effects.  She said no, and finally took matters into her own hands, and healed.  Her inspiring story can be found on our site too – and her first book is currently on offer on Kindle Uk and Fr at 99p for the rest of August.  Picked that one up for a song!

Early morning walk last week, as the family slept on.  Always a treat to be by the ocean – feeling refreshed, recharged and ready for this new season.  Healthy body, healthy mind.
