Contributors for November / December 2013

Alexx Stuart runs an events business by day in Australia, inspiring businesses to build their teams and client relationships in creative ways. By weekend, night, and every other hour that I’m not a mum or wife, I research, think and write about Real Food and Low Tox living. I create recipes 24/7. I’m a concerned citizen in a world of packets and promises, and I believe that with my strong education background and keen eye for the truth, I can make a difference. So I write, coach and educate on my findings and help others create nourished lives for themselves and their families - it’s what keeps the fire burning in my belly! http://alexxstuart.com/
