I have to admit that I’ve never ended a relationship with a “Dear John” letter and I’m pretty sure I haven’t pulled out the “it’s not you, it’s me..” line when trying to sell a reason to break-up…at least not since I was about 14 years old. But, when your relationship isn’t working out the way you planned, or when […]

Is a Paleo Diet Just For The Snobby Elitist?
So I was standing in a Dr’s clinic last week and the latest Time Magazine caught my eye (and not just because it wasn’t a Woman’s Weekly from 2004!) Inside was an article by Dr Mehmet Oz with the tag-line: “What To Eat Now The Anti-Food-Snob Diet” In this article, Dr Oz aims to dispel the myths that “boutique […]
Jo Fitton on Being a Cardio Addict: Low Carb Down Under
Low Carb Down Under Exercise is good for you right?

Crystal Fieldhouse on What is Paleo: Low Carb Down Under
At the Low Carb Down Under seminar in Byron, I gave an overview of the Paleo Diet and my thoughts on Paleo being about more than just what we are eating. I do think that Paleo is about eating, sleeping and moving in tune with our basic biology. A focus on all three will help us to “turn […]

Ian Blair Hamilton and Cassie Bond on Coconut Oil for Alzheimer’s: Low Carb Down Under
Next up were Byron Bay locals Ian Blair Hamilton & Cassie Bond. This was a story that I was particularly interested in. I studied Neuroscience at uni and anything brain (or mind) related just totally fascinates me. Cassie’s Story Cassie shared her own journey to better health with us. A self-confessed “health-nut,” Cassie has tried raw food diets, veganism, […]
David Gillespie on Sweet Poison: Low Carb Down Under
First up at The Low Carb Down Under Seminar in Byron was David Gillespie, author of Sweet Poison and Big Fat Lies.

Jimmy Moore on The Story behind Livin’ La Vida Low Carb: Low Carb Down Under
(Be warned, I am not going to let the cat out of the bag too much because I don’t want to steal Jimmy’s thunder for the events yet to come in Sydney, Brisbane & Adelaide!) But I will say, that I think Byron locals got an unexpected treat in Jimmy Moore at the Low Carb Down Under Event this week. […]
Low Carb Down Under Byron Bay Wrap
If you are living in Australia and follow a Paleo or Low Carb Diet you would have had to be living under a rock (or in a cave) to have not seen the Facebook and Instagram buzz about the Low Carb Down Under series. Melbourne anaethetist Rod Tayler and Jamie Hayes, owner of Healthy Inspirations, managed to coax […]
The Imperfect Journey to Perfect Health
Hi, my name is Crystal and I have a confession to make… I am still emotionally tied to certain foods. Generally processed foods like chippies, chocolate and those insidious ‘special occasion’ gluten-free treats. From time to time, I struggle with cravings for cheats & treats, especially when I am tired, grumpy or stressed. I have not totally laid waste to the sugar […]
Watch Out America! The scarily successful ‘Share a Coke’ Campaign may be heading your way
The ‘Share a Coke’ campaign absolutely exploded in Australia over the summer of 2011. The campaign involved printing people’s names on millions of coke cans and bottles. People either found or ordered custom made coke bottles & cans, so they could ‘share a coke’ with their friends and loved ones. It was HUGE!

Special Announcement
Hey everyone, I want to introduce someone who is very important to me…my mum, Kathy Reid. My mum is unstintingly supportive of me in anything I have ever done or wanted to do and this blog is no exception. In the last 8 months since I have taken up the sport of gardening my mum has been extremely patient […]
About Us
I grew up in the South Island of NZ where life is simpler and people are often more connected to where their food comes from. For as long as I can remember, my mum and dad have always had a glass house and a veggie garden, so home-grown fruit and veggies were the norm. It’s a shame I didn’t pay more […]

Crystal & Andrew Fieldhouse
My husband and I aim to eat quality, nutrient dense food (fruit and veggies that are seasonal and locally sourced or home-grown in addition to meat or fish that is grass-fed or wild-caught), get lots of quality sleep in a pitch black room, and train for functional strength and mobility. This blog is a reflection of our learnings and experiences with eating to a Paleolithic template, improving our sleeping habits, training in a Crossfit box, learning to cook and growing our own heirloom veggies.
