Natural Health vs Medicine

I would like to take a moment to thank you all for the supportive messages I’ve received after sending the email regarding my mother’s recent accident. I am eternally grateful for your company and the good vibes. I have tried to reply to every email I have received. My mother is doing better, but we […]

The Deadliest Mistake Vegans Make

No matter what your reason for going vegan or vegetarian, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that just because you’re almost or entirely plant-based; it must mean you’re eating super-healthy. The science is clear: according to The Global Burden of Disease Study published in 2012 – which is the most comprehensive and […]

How to Deal With Covid Anxiety

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major effect on our lives. Many of us are facing challenges that are stressful, overwhelming, and cause strong emotions.

Why I Don’t Colon Cleanse or Eat Exclusively Organic

It’s not unusual for me to receive questions like: Do you recommend any homemade toothpaste recipes? Or It is very difficult to find organic food in South Africa; do I have to eat 100% organic? What do you think of activated coconut carbon/ charcoal as a water filter? These are valid concerns for people who […]

I’d Rather Die than Become Vegan

All too often, people fail to act in their own long-term interest, favouring present pleasure and using illogical statements to justify their decisions. For instance, I’ve had people tell me they admire how I eat, but they say: “Ariel, I’d rather shave a decade off my lifespan and keep eating my meat.” All too often […]

Why I Don’t Miss Restaurants

I have never been a big fan of restaurants, perhaps because I realized early that food prepared at home was always fresher and healthier than eating out.
