The Importance and Benefits of Organic Nutrition
Why eating organic is vital for optimal health

Last Update 25 days ago
Here are some key reasons why you should consider eating organic produce:
1. Pesticide exposure: Conventionally grown fruits and vegetables often contain pesticide residues, which can be harmful to human health. Prolonged exposure to pesticides has been linked to various health issues, including cancer, hormone disruption, and neurological disorders.
2. Nutritional value: Organic produce is often found to have higher levels of certain nutrients, such as vitamin C, iron, magnesium, and antioxidants. This is because organic farming practices focus on soil health, which promotes nutrient-rich crops.
3. Antibiotic resistance: Non-organic animal products, such as meat, poultry, and dairy, are commonly treated with antibiotics to promote growth and prevent disease. Over time, this contributes to antibiotic resistance, making it harder to treat bacterial infections in humans.
4. Environmental impact: Organic farming practices prioritize sustainability and minimize harm to the environment. Organic farmers avoid synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, reducing water pollution, soil degradation, and harm to wildlife.
5. Taste and quality: Many people believe that organic produce tastes better and is of higher quality. Organic farming methods often involve more natural and traditional
The above is common sense but VITAL if you have a serious illness or disease such as cancer.
Improving Nutrition Saved my Life!
In July 2015, I was given less than 12 months to live by medics who diagnosed stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
This was not my first clash with the medical profession, who I used to believe in because that's how we've all been conditioned from young - doctor knows best - always consult a doctor.
Actually NO!
The medical profession can be a life-saver when you need emergency help, however, in terms of prevention and even reversal of symptoms, they have no training.
Medical schools are generally funded by the pharmaceutical industry who create drugs and want customers. Can you join the dots here?!
Turns out I was born with a rare kidney disease which took medics until I was around 22 years old to diagnose, following many insults and misdiagnoses.
This rare kidney condition is called Medullary Sponge Kidneys is still a rare condition which medics can only treat with antibiotics and say it's incurable. Don't I know it! Until my mid 40s, so around 23 years, I took a concoction of rotating antibiotics every day . Yes, for 23 years, you read it right!
I was also born with a twisted and curved spine. At the age of around 45, I consulted an osteopath, when one day I literally couldn't move, because the pain in my back hurt so terribly. The osteopath said to me "no wonder you are in pain my dear, your hip is dislocated!"
Chiropractic manipulation suited be better at that time, and so I consulted a different local practitioner. His fiancee was a Nutritionist and Shiatsu practitioner, and so began my introduction into the world of natural health and wellbeing.
After a 23 year stint on antibiotics, with the help of dietary changes, chiropractic care and relation techniques, I weaned myself off all medication.
And the cancer?
I beat that in under 4 months and received the all clear in October 2015.
How I Help People Today
I've become an expert in the DISC model of personality profiling and can tell if someone's behaviour is potentially a cause of their current, or impending health challenges.
When we are behaving in ways that are not in alignment with our natural style we will become ill - guaranteed!
I've created my own model called DISCPlus and I teach others how to understand themselves better, and relate to their health and wellbeing as well as general life and relationship success.
The Perfect Health HUB (the knowledge base from which you are reading this article) is another strategic development created to help individuals to look after their own health through various articles. Registration is free to join the tribe and search articles, and you can even ask for research to be undertaken if you can't find the condition you'd like to know more about.
In addition, I host a monthly drop-in natural health surgery, and a monthly health network event where we check in with HUB members and enjoy educational talks from other health experts. Our meeting schedule for paid members is HERE.
I work with business leaders (law firms and accountancy practices in particular) to help them identify the best mix of behaviours within their teams to achieve excellence in client service delivery with optimal health and wellbeing for the organisation and every individual within it.
My VIP Health Mentoring Programme comprises 4 parts including laboratory testing from samples taken at home by the individual (no time wasted from work or missed appointments) :-
- DISCPlus behaviour assessment
- Hair Mineral Tissue Analysis (HTMA)
- Dry Blood Analysis (DBA)
- Metabolic Analysis (detailed lifestyle, medical and nutritional review)
The DISCPlus assessment identifies conditions you may be predisposed towards and how to better manage yourself to optimise your health and wellbeing.
HTMA accurately measures the ratio of minerals and heavy metals in the body with recommendations to correct imbalances.
DBA show what's happening in your blood, through testing 38 markers (or 60 markers for a live analysis).
Metabolic analysis explores medical history, lifestyle and nutrition current state with recommendations for improvements.
BOOK a FREE CALL WITH ME to explore if you are ready to take responsibility to optimise your health and wellbeing. After all, there's little point in paying for and undergoing the assessments if you are not ready because the body changes regularly which is why we need to keep on top of our health pro actively.
In addition, to keep individuals on track, I recommend simple home testing for all the family using a specialised urine strip which provides an overall wellness score out of 10, a free app which acts as a digital health coach, and a breakdown of 10 body measurements so you can track your own health improvements. These are:-
- Vitamin C
- Magnesium
- Calcium
- Ketones
- Oxidative stress
- Hydration
- Protein
- Zinc
- pH
- Sodium
