Organic versus conventional: what’s the scoop?

There have always been mixed thoughts about the difference between organic and conventional fruits and vegetables especially when it comes to nutrient density and the impact on health.

We always advocate choosing foods as close to their natural form as possible, without the addition of toxins and contaminants before, during or after the growing process. Not only is organic produce more “primal” and less likely to expose us to pesticide residue, it has also been a recent topic in the news after the British Journal of Nutrition published a review of 343 studies on the topic.

How to travel and be a conscious beauty

Holidays for many, including myself, are a time to cut loose on our clean living ways and indulge a little more than usual. However, as the body goes into holiday mode and we hit the ground at our new destination I feel sluggish and sometimes the sniffles will follow.

My husband and I recently spent 7 glorious days travelling through Tasmania for our honeymoon and there was certainly plenty of indulging on local cheeses, ice-cream and chocolate to name a few. However, as I’m married to a holistic health coach (the big brother half of Primal Junction) there was a lot of conversation around how we could travel, indulge a little and still return rested.
