Every day, many people expose themselves to hundreds of different chemicals in the things they use without giving it a second thought. Chemicals are used in skin, hair, body and personal care items to preserve them as a scent, active ingredient, or filler. These chemicals are also present in candles, furniture, clothes, and typical household items. Manufacturers and consumers find them cheap to buy, use, and readily available. The Hidden Dangers: Unveiling Chemicals in the Things We Use Common chemicals include Phthalates, Parabens, Talcum powder, Nanoparticles, Formaldehyde and formaldehyde donors, Lead acetate, Coal tar, UV filters, Triclosan, Resorcinol, Toluene, Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA).

Coconut oils are excellent for food, drink, and personal care products. We can buy it as solid coconut oil or fractionated coconut oil. Many have used coconut oils for a long time in various ways due to their ability. The body can easily absorb it, and its anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties are beneficial, amongst other things. Fractionated and solid coconut oils can be refined, bleached, and deodorized, impacting their efficacy, smell, and appearance. Coconut oils, solid or liquid, are excellent sources of medium-chain triglycerides fatty acids, also known as MCTs.  "Fatty acids are the building blocks of the fat in our bodies and in the food we eat. During digestion, the body breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can then be absorbed into the blood. Fatty acid molecules are usually joined together in groups of three, forming a molecule called triglyceride.

I regularly make banana bread using the typical flour and butter recipe, so I was curious about the result of baking a Primal health paleo banana bread with coconut oil and coconut flour. The recipe has zero sugar, and the taste was better than any other banana bread I've had.

I recently had a chat with Michelle, a primal health coach, owner of Santosha Wellbeing in Shell Harbour NSW, and yogi. Michelle is a widely respected wellness practitioner and advocate of primal health. During our chat, I asked Michelle a series of questions about primal health to share here on this page.

I've found coconut products are a great addition to what I use, as well as a great alternative to some types of oils, flours and creams. I was born in Fiji, living there for only a short while, yet grew up with a lot of the cultural ways.  Coconuts were always in the house and used in many aspects of life - food, drink, hair oil, skin creams. It was the Fiji way of life. Wellness is a path I’ve found myself on for some time, starting with working in a spa environment and then learning about and understanding
