Sherry Strong interviews Mark Wuttke about ethical skin care and the LOHAS idea of living. Sustainability is only one of many aspects that is discussed and the information can be applied to many other areas in life, such as food and health.

Here is a short video with me during TED Tokyo. I have also included my BIO from TED Tokyo below.

Sherry Strong is a food rebel. The controversial publisher of RealFoodRealWomen.com and the creator of the Anti-Diet system, Sherry says most items in your local market are either toxic, addictive, or designed to make you more hungry. The former Victorian chair of Nutrition Australia and Melbourne head of Slow Food, Sherry has spent over two decades studying nutrition, health and behavioral science, food and wellness. The consumption concept she developed, Nature’s Principle, answers the perpetual question “What and how am I meant to be eating?” After hearing her, you’ll never look at food and your body in the same way.

Since 1984 the world’s leading thinkers and doers have been gathering once a year for an event they variously describe as “the ultimate brain spa,” “Davos for optimists” and “a four-day journey into the future, in the company of those creating it.”

What are they talking about? TED—a conference like no other. TED stands for technology, entertainment and design—three broad disciplines that are collectively shaping our future. The event is broader still, showcasing brilliant ideas that matter from any discipline during more than fifty presentations and several morning and evening events. The intense, immersive environment allows attendees and speakers from vastly different fields to draw inspiration from unlikely places and cross-fertilize their ideas.

Unexpected connections. Extraordinary insights. Potent inspiration. That is the practical magic TED generates when a thousand of the world’s most remarkable people gather.

Are you springing out of bed with tons of energy each day? Are you actually feeling fit and fabulous and wonderful?

How?
Join us for an unprecedented opportunity with international speaker Sherry Strong in her “How to feel fabulous and bounce out of bed” seminar.

Discover the secrets of vibrant health as Sherry draws on her 25 years of accumulated knowledge and wisdom to help you understand the intrinsic connection between how you think, how you feel and what you eat.

Painting a picture, showing you exactly and precisely how together they determine your state of wellbeing. And then exactly what to do right now to change things

Sherry’s a former chef and nutritionist employed to speak with people around the world about health and wellbeing.

Having worked with some of the best chefs in the world Sherry knows what good food is about. In demand as an expert on health and wellness at conferences and with fortune 500 companies she is the curator and cofounder of the World Wellness project.

Sherry is one of only a handful of global speakers selected to talk at the recent prestigious TED Tokyo “Riveting Talks by Remarkable People” conference.

Dive in as Sherry leads you through the roots of the global energy crisis that is affecting literally billions of people around the planet. Sharing how and why the human energy crisis is the precursor to disease and premature death.

Understand why your not bouncing out of bed and feeling fabulous and the simple steps to change it dramatically.

If you’re tired of fads and gimmicks and diets that don’t work, things that have you more frustrated than when you began I’d like to invite you to come along and learn the secrets of lasting change. The secrets that will actually help you understand how to nourish your body, your mind, your spirit. That will leave you feeling younger, fitter, happier and stronger. Sherry

This is a great movie to watch and learn about what we do to our planet and how we get the food we eat. I think Yann explains it best. HOME is an ode to the planet’s beauty and its delicate harmony. Through the landscapes of 54 countries captured from above, Yann Arthus-Bertrand takes us on an unique journey all around the planet, to contemplate it and to understand it. But HOME is more than a documentary with a message, it is a magnificent movie in its own right. Every breathtaking shot shows the Earth – our Earth – as we have never seen it before. Every image shows the Earth’s treasures we are destroying and all the wonders we can still preserve. “From the sky, there’s less need for explanations”. Our vision becomes more immediate, intuitive and emotional. HOME has an impact on anyone who sees it. It awakens in us the awareness that is needed to change the way we see the world. (HOME embraces the major ecological issues that confront us and shows how everything on our planet is interconnected.)
Synopsis

In 200,000 years on Earth, humanity has upset the balance of the planet, established by nearly four billion years of evolution. The price to pay is high, but it is too late to be a pessimist: humanity has barely ten years to reverse the trend, become aware of the full extent of its spoliation of the Earth’s riches and change its patterns of consumption.

I’ve been a busy little bee over the past few months, focusing on building tools of value to help people develop a healthier relationship with food, their body,  and the planet. First thing I needed to do was to make sure I was doing it myself and stepping up to the level needed to teach from a point of authenticity and congruency.

I have tried recently to get the domain name www.pleasureseekingweakleshedbloodthirstysugarlovinhealthwarriorrawfoodenthusiast reluctantguru.com but it was taken, turns out it was a parking site that was redirected to many flawed but earnest seekers of health including www.sherrystrong.com;-)

Point is, I am a work in progress, always learning and seeking ways that help people live better quality lives and in the process try and live everything I teach, sometimes I win some, always I learn some. At the outset of 2009, I decided I would challenge myself in every area of life, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically to grow myself into the person I felt I needed to become to do the things I wish to do.  Be careful of what you wish for, the year to date has done exactly that and more and growth is just one outcome.

Speaking at the TED Tokyo conference, the Happiness and It’s Causes conference  were amazing experiences in meeting amazing people and bringing what I teach to a wider audience. It has affirmed that I am doing what I’m meant to be doing and there is great need.

I am planning several public events in the coming months including Weekend Wellness retreats at the newly renovated RACV Club Healesville and Real Food Detox residential programs at the most awarded spa in Victoria, Peppers Hepburn Mineral Spa in Hepburn.

There are heaps of goodies to come and I will be updating the site to let you know what is happening when. In the meantime check out this link below if you are interested in the weekend Wellness Retreat in Healesville, Victoria Australia, August 28th to the 30th. It is amazing value for the weekend and I would love to see you there.
