I’m Caroline, an Australian who has lived longer out of Australia than in it (but only just!) with an unquenchable need to know things. I lived in China, England and Italy and am mostly interested in humans and their culture and for most of my life have been driven by the human relationships with food, but these days it’s more about eating to live than living to eat. That said, food has undergone a transformation from the “health food” and nutrition of the late 70’s – when whole food was heavy and eating it was hard work – to the magnificent creations that experienced, but usually unwell cooks and chefs have developed to deal with the metabolic disaster happening on a grand scale in the 21^st century.

Having taken 35 years to undo my own metabolic disaster, catalysed by an ice-cream cake on my first birthday, I’ve learned a thing or two about nutrition and how to eat to thrive. I’ve also learned that not all recipes are created equal and transitioning to a more healthful way to eat is time consuming, costly and fraught with emotion. So Detox-me.asia aims to outline the building blocks of great health and vitality with the best recipes, products and health research that will smooth the way for a family making the change to a clean lifestyle and whole food diet – of whatever type works for your body and ethics.
