Astroturfing, or fake grassroots movements funded by political, corporate, or other special interests very effectively manipulate and distort media messages. Is this what is happening in the media today against homemade DIY baby formulas and the Paleo, Real Food Revolution. Have you heard that Vitamin A is toxic, and that bone broth has bone fragments, perhaps it’s astroturfing that is creating a phobia and public shaming that is based on frenzy rather then the truth. Listen in as Cyndi, Carren and Kim discuss the social bullying and how to know when media messages are distorted.

Up For A Chat this week gets into emotional eating. By the end of the podcast the realisation that no one modality has the panacea but rather delving into mind, body and spirit. Things that need to be addressed are; the health of the micro biome and thus the health of the body and brain. Remembering the mind is related to the brain and the brains health depends on the health of the body.

The Paleo Diet is all the rage at the moment, so Kim and Cyndi (without Carren – she is a vegan!) decided to talk about what it is, how it is helping people and why it is working so well to change health and weight issues. Most people think the Paleo approach is a fad, but in actual fact it is closest to the diet that humans lived on for thousands of years before the invention of the grocery store. Going Paleo is not just about what you eat either – it is about your entire lifestyle, including sleeping patterns, movement, human connection, sunlight and much more. Listen in to understand the science behind this recent shift in thinking and find out how you can create a Paleo lifestyle in the modern world.
