Nothing like a well crafted, objective measurement to test the validity or otherwise of a hypothesis.<br \/>\nIt validates the feedback I receive each week from my lovely clients who tell me how much better they feel, how much more energy they have, as a result of eating my bars and slices and taking my nutrition powders.<br \/>\nDo you get a blood test every so often to see how well your body is doing with your diet and lifestyle?<br \/>\nIf not, may I commend the practice to you? It is easiest to prevent and a easier to correct something only a little wrong rather than something a lot wrong.<br \/>\nBut if you eat my food bars, slices and powders you already know that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I plan on doing a serious detox at Christmas.
