25.01.2022 The Red Dragon Niacin Flush. On a recent fast, trying out a few different protocols, some of Bernard Jensen's, some of my own, I came across Niacin, vitamin B3,... a circulation stimulant on turbo would be the understatement of the century. It is absolutely insane what it does!! Chasing B3, I purchased Nicotinamide initially by mistake, which is a form of B3, but does not initiate the flush. Niacin on the other hand is absolutely insane, I have never experienced anything like it. Initially it is used to drive blood into all cells that are lacking oxygen and nutrients. It turns your circulation on fire, your hands heat up, your back, your feet, your head, you start changing colour, you start feeling hot as if your body is generating enormous amounts of heat. A very handy biohacking tool for detoxing and renewing old tissue, BUT be very careful, and if you have any health concerns please consult your GP beforehand.

24.01.2022 Many people don't ever have a go at making activated nut milks because they believe they are too time consuming, watch me live at Garden of Eden making an activ...ated almond milk that leaves pre-made nut milks for dead. They are more nutritious, fresher, cheaper and best of all, can be made in under 5 minutes!! Have a go.

24.01.2022 I'm enjoying making some new salads at the moment, this one was a sundried tomato pesto, rice pasta shells, roasted purple cauliflower and mushroom.

24.01.2022 A little rusty on my sourdough, but 1st attempt with my 120yr old German sourdough starter, there is nothing like a caramelised crust that crunches as you slice it, especially with a grass fed cultured butter.

23.01.2022 Our naturopath Blair with some great tips to help set the mood for a better night sleep

23.01.2022 I do get asked a lot about which foods pack the most antioxidants. When dealing with inflammation it pays to know the big guns

22.01.2022 You guessed it, it's Saturday cookie day at Garden of Eden, and I've just whipped up a few baby cookies as samples. Cookies taste best when warm out of the oven!!! Are you in the area??

22.01.2022 This week I'm talking about one of the highest sources of vitamin C containing all 23 factors, Camu Camu. 1/2 TSP is almost 4x the RDI of vitamin C.

21.01.2022 Claus has risen!! After a month of incubation in my fridge, my German sourdough starter (Claus), has been reunited with fresh stone ground flour ground yesterda...y instore at Garden of Eden. I was waiting to supply him with the best flour in Australia, local and freshly ground. Now it's 4.30am, bakers time, we just have to wait for him to fully rise, before baking. Early in the new year we will be running a sourdough making workshop, enquire now if you are interested.

20.01.2022 Do you eat, or do you dine? I celebrated my first Shabbat on Friday night with some great friends, I can honestly say, I haven't seen anyone put that much effor...t into a meal in a very long time. An absolute amazing job Kate and Mason, you really turned it on!!! This was only a fraction of the food. Dining is an entirely different experience from simply eating, it is about great company, chewing your food slowly, taking your time, having a conversation and a good laugh, unwinding and sharing your day with others. Enjoy the food, taste it, sip your wine, savour each mouthful Make it a goal to aim for at least one dining experience a week, and watch your health and life improve. Turn on the appropriate music, your heart rate will follow the amount of beats per minute of a song, set the ambience, set the lighting. You deserve it!!!

19.01.2022 On Saturday mornings at Garden of Eden the chef's like to experiment and have a little fun, this week we made two activated nut milks, our flavours were Arabia...n dream (medjool dates with vanilla pods) and Cacao twist (Cacao, medjool dates with a hint of cinnamon) I will be making these next Saturday so come and sample one. We have nut milk bags and all the ingredients should you require a little guidance to whip up your own. Fresh is best!!

17.01.2022 Did you know vitamins B & E are two of the hardest vitamins to obtain because they are lost through oxidation and time. Fresh milled grains have almost all of t...hese vitamins missing in as little as a week. Now we have our own German made stone mill for all you sourdough enthusiast's. Come in to Garden of Eden and mill your own grain fresh, it really doesn't get better than this. At Garden of Eden we are about your health!! Fresh is best,taste the difference #blairharveynaturopath

13.01.2022 Many people embarking on the road to health may feel overwhelmed with how to get started, or wondering how long they will last, before they are going to slip back into bad habits. Most often people discover the GAPS Protocol or visit a Naturopath after already exhausting their resources with different diets or commercial mainstream approaches to relieve and manage their condition. As a GAPS practitioner I specialise in Gut health, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencie...s, appetite regulation, exercise prescription, sleep imbalances, reducing blood pressure and cholesterol, stomach acid disorders and bowel regulation. Poor gut health may show up in many ways:- -Poor immunity (Constant colds/flue/feeling of being run down) -Diarrhoea -Constipation (less than three bowel movements a day results in internal stagnation, where disease begins)) -Bloating -Reflux -Headaches -Excess gas -Stomach pains -Lethargy and fatigue -Low mood, anxiety, depression, etc -Poor concentration -Skin disorders such as acne Gut Health has become my passion and a bit of an obsession leading me to set up my own practice. I was always described as the foodie as I was studying, and prefer to obtain nutrients through foods or wholefood based concentrates rather than using isolated synthetic vitamin supplementation. There is a lot of confusion about supplements and I am available to screen what you take and give advice as sometimes it is just money down the drain. I do menu plans educating clients that a diet will fail long term, this is a lifestyle. Book in now for up to 20% off our regular consultation fee, includes a 1hr consult, a written report(approx 1hr) and a 15min recap to guide you through your report and answer questions.

13.01.2022 The secret to our pizzas, is not to skimp on sauces or toppings. 5 layers of vegetables, 3 sauces. That's how you do a Vegetarian pizza

13.01.2022 New on the menu, Vegan Nachos, absolutely hits the spot for a lazy Saturday lunch, delicious and nutritious, all organic, all fresh, all new seasons vegetables. In the cabinet now!!

13.01.2022 3rd loaf in with "Klaus" my 120yr old German sourdough starter. I love a medieval type caramelised crust, best achieved by getting the oven up to 280 degrees Celcius. It's almost sourdough workshop time.

11.01.2022 There really is only one time you should be waking up, if you truly want to optimise your health.

10.01.2022 How about some beautiful fresh salads for your lunch today? These go great with out falafels!!

10.01.2022 Try before you buy!! Mini nachos tasters, these are going fast.

10.01.2022 Playing around with different wholefoods to create amazing raw ginger beers. Beetroot and blue pea flowers are my new best sellers!!

09.01.2022 Nothing beats a fresh in-house nut milk on a hot day, refreshing but light. Every Saturday this month at Garden of Eden I will be making these. Come and try one, buy one or just ask me how to make them. I'm more than happy to teach you They're both nutritious & delicious!!

09.01.2022 Fresh vegan nachos just hit our cabinet for lunch. Are you close, come and grab one!!

07.01.2022 I think it's time you got those poisonous chemicals out of your drinking water Putting in the effort now to cleanse the body means you will be rewarded in Summer, with a fitter healthier body. Winter miles brings Summer smiles!!

06.01.2022 Trialing something a little new. A raw cacao banana sorbet, an activated buckwheat berry muesli and a coconut yogurt with a hint of maple and vanilla. These are... the breakfast bomb!! They're amazing, they're both gluten and dairy free, raw, vegan and delicious!! In our cabinet now, these won't last long.

06.01.2022 What do I feel like for lunch? How about a delicious falafel platter from Garden of Eden?

05.01.2022 Trialling a few greek platters today at Garden of Eden, a great quick, healthy and very tasty lunch.

05.01.2022 Saturday is cookie day at Garden of Eden and today I made one of my favourites, chocolate coconut chews, all gluten and dairy free of course!!

04.01.2022 Most bakers will not use a 100% wholegrain flour because it is hard to get a perfect rise. Personally I will always make a sourdough loaf with 100% wholemeal fl...our, milled on the day fresh with local grain. Taste buds like high nutrition. Don't compromise!!! Claus is being served with a Nimbin cheese from grass fed cows, a cultured butter, a wild sauerkraut, wild dandelion from my herb garden and local cherry tomatoes. The flour was milled yesterday live at Garden of Eden, combined with my 120yr old German sourdough starter, I'd call it a win. It's in its own class.

03.01.2022 So excited about this!! Our own Naturopathic dispensary and consultation room.

03.01.2022 Our amazing 20% off special starts when doors open at 8am tomorrow, time to stock up the pantry with all those staples!!

03.01.2022 How about a delicious Mediterranean pizza,? My first official pizza under a little guidance from one of Garden of Edens culinary chefs Nicola, she is right, it's all about colour and the visual wow factor.

03.01.2022 Something a little different for a Monday, I'm calling them Snow Cubes, a mixture of nuts, seeds, local macadamia honey, all sculptured into a cube, with a hint of white organic Belgian chocolate & rose

02.01.2022 I just cracked the seal on a 120yr Heirloom sourdough bread starter from Germany. First step was to mix it into flour and water, and keep it in a 33-37 Celcius environment for 24hrs. Watch this space!!
