Laura Warren is a Peak Performance Advisor in New Plymouth who took on the task of training a group of 20 people over 10weeks to get them to the top of Mount Taranaki on April the 1st 2017. We were lucky enough to get involved and help to support these guys on their incredible journey!

Being a super active Mum, celebrating my 40’s and secretly wanting to become the next Ninja Warrior can be challenging! I am always on the lookout, finding ways to keep my body in tune, physically strong and able to hold up to the crazy things I do to it, often. Also to keep me on the path of finding whole food solutions that are safe, healthy and free of chemicals for myself and my family.

We wanted to share with you this article from Reene Brown, a Holistic Nutritionist and Health Coach who made the switch to veganism in 2014. We know that this lifestyle isn’t for everyone but here are some of her most frequently asked questions.
