About me and my food philosophy
I'm Shelby, a qualified remedial massage therapist, currently studying a Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy at Endeavour College in Sydney.
I love food. Maybe a little bit too much. Some may call it an obsession but I think passionate is more appropriate.
♥ I believe that health and happiness are completely interrelated. To be healthy you need to be happy, and to be happy you need to be healthy. Personally I've struggled with food, I wasn't healthy and I most definitely wasn't happy. But I'm finally starting to get to that point where I actually enjoy food, cooking and exercising for fun.
♥Ultimately I don't think there is one way everyone should eat. We are all unique and some people may thrive on a vegan diet whereas others do well with meat. Some people are allergic to grains but others tolerate them quite well. As long as we are eating a primarily whole-foods diet, If the occasional Gelato Messina or churro's give you a little glow from the inside, then go for it. It's all about balance.
♥Men's health is my passion. Men suffer more illness and accidents and die earlier than females. I am working towards educating and empowering men to take a more active approach to their health by using nutrition, lifestyle and other natural alternatives to prevent and decrease the risk of conditions such as heart disease and stroke.
♥ As I continue my education, my knowledge will further evolve and I look forward to providing you with more up to date information based on research rather than rumour. One of the most important things I have learnt this year was that you shouldn't always believe what you read. Check your sources and the research that is referenced. There's so much information out there it is very easy to be misled.
