This is a fantastically filling soup, with each serve giving you a whopping 13g of fibre - that is over HALF of your recommended daily amount. That’s right HALF of it! It is also low in saturated fat, high in protein and full of celery, garlic and tomatoes - which give you an alkaline kick. Cannelini beans are also high in maganese, potassium and magnesium - which are highly alkaline minerals.
So fibre + protein + alkaline minerals = winner.

Hey all
This week’s interview is with Dr Rachel Hall of Evolve Dental Healing in Queensland, Australia. After finding out about the dangers of mercury fillings I blogged about it and have since had countless emails, facebook messages and tweets from others who are concerned, have questions or have been told by their dentist that they don’t need to worry!
Rachel was the saviour who removed my mercury amalgams and I think she is awesome and to prove it she agreed to be interviewed for the Energise Blog!
And here it is! The Energise Interview with Dr Rachel Hall:

A little while ago I blogged about the dangers of mercury fillings, having been shown a video by Tania’s folks which, to be honest, scared the bejesus out of me.
Since then, I’ve had all of my mercury fillings/amalgams removed as quickly as possible, and thankfully it is all done and dusted now.
I have absolutely no doubt that having mercury fillings in your mouth is a very bad idea, but having them removed properly is an absolute must. After this blog post, which I am going to keep quite brief, I will post my interview with my holistic dentist Rachel Hall. She really does have the answers.

Hey everyone
Just about back down to earth following our Dr Young Live weekend, and I have to say - it was fantastic. Dr Young was an absolute pleasure and I thought his content each day was just amazing.
Even though I have been in this field for over six years now I still learned heaps, and lets be honest - there is nothing more motivating than to have the core principles repeated to you by Dr Young himself!
So for those of you who were not able to be there, here are my top five take outs:

This is a classic for the vegetarian and we’ve alkalised it! Served with a nice big alkaline salad, this is warm, filling and delicious. It is another great recipe from energiseforlife.com that you can serve to the whole family (whether they’re alkalisers or not) by serving with fresh, grilled salmon.
Remember, fresh, oily fish is perfectly fine on the alkaline diet from time to time!
