(Not your usual) 10 tips to beat dastardly Cellulite
Oct 10th
1. Meditate – Now this sounds a little out there but it’s time to cut through the regular anti-cellulite suggestions and look a little deeper. Through meditation try to dissolve the notion that the mind and body are separate. They’re not! Not only will your meditation practice reduce stress, a huge benefit in itself, but you can focus your thoughts on areas needing your attention and ‘direct’ your energy there. It’s amazing the insights you will discover about your body shape/condition and it’s foibles through meditation. Always look with unattached interest at ‘messages’ that arise during your meditation, perhaps a More >
Fermenting Vegetables – Why & How?
May 31st
Finally, here is a post that I’ve been planning to do for ages but not getting around to. To those of you that I’ve consulted to around nutrition and digestive health, you’ll will know that fermented foods ( cultured vegetables ) is a subject close to my heart. I’ve just finished reading Sandor Ellix Katz’s book “Wild Fermentation” which has finally inspired me to put something together. Having dabbled in fermenting food myself for the last year or so, I can easily see how Katz’s came to self describe himself as a “fermentation fetishist”. I too find delving into the science and More >
Should you do a liver cleanse?
Apr 27th
The most common symptoms and a sure sign your liver needs help include:
Fatigue, headache, skin breakouts, lack of mental clarity, joint or muscle ache, irritability, difficulty losing weight, insomnia, or irritability. Some people experience multiple symptoms while others have one or none. These symptoms will go away in 2 to 3 days as the body naturally eliminates toxins when undertaking the Liver and Gallbladder Cleanse we offer here at Boda.
What Will Come Out of Me?Usually the first cleanse will purge over 100 liverstones and/or gallstones from the liver and gallbladder respectively. These stones can range in size from very tiny sand-like granules to the More >
A Green Drink everyday..
Mar 10th
When our clients come in to do Cleansing / Detox programs with us, aside from taking out of the diet irritating foods such as sugar, gluten, trans fats etc, we really encourage them to get into making a green drink everyday.
At Boda, we’re big fans of concentrated green powders, as they’re packaged with phytonutrients, including essential alkaline minerals such as magnesium, iron, potasssium, sodium and calcium. These alkaline minerals help maintain our blood pH at it’s optimal slightly alkaline state and hence enable our bodies to do what it’s always trying to do, which is detox. Once toxins are released More >
Fermented Foods / Probiotics – The MOST important thing you put in your body everyday
Dec 4th
Digestive health is at times a complexed subject and certainly one that can be a real frustration to our clients, especially when they’ve committed to healthy diets, have tried digestive supplements yet continued to have intestinal issues. The foundation to digestive health though is strong, healthy gut flora (beneficial bacteria), which is the point I want to take up today.
The truth is, even the healthiest diet, most amazing digestive enzymes or supplements are never going to make a real difference until sufficient healthy gut flora (beneficial bacteria) is restored.
My daily mantra with clients then is; Fermented foods and More >
The Art of Training Women
Nov 23rd
Ricardo Riskalla is an occasional guest contributor to the Boda blog. Ricardo owns and operates RawFit Australia. With his embrace of raw food nutrition and his individual care of his clients, we’re proud to call him an affiliate to Boda.
Training women is an art in itself. Let me tell you, it is harder to train women than men for a few reasons:
- Women if over worked or worked in the wrong way can get a “male like” appearance;
- Women’s diet is different from men’s diet;
- Women’s training needs to have rhythmic dance like movements to create curves not bulk.

Time to detox? Time for your next Colonic.
Nov 17th
Today’s entry is aimed specifically at those who’ve had colonics before and are wondering when would be the right time to come back for a follow-up session.
Most people who follow our 14 Day or 21 Day programs incorporating a series of colonics (usually three) in conjunction with our cleansing diet plan, find at the end of it that the body has reset to a healthier place and everything feels and works better. So when discussing when to come back in, I always say do it in when you feel you need to. How long that takes obviously varies greatly depending on the person’s More >
How having the RIGHT salt in your diet can improve your digestion, bowel function and skin.
Nov 3rd
It’s becoming more and more generally recognized these days that healthy salt is important in our diets. Most of us have heard about how Celtic, Himalayan, Murray River Pink Salt and unrefined sea salt in appropriate quantities being actually healthy for us. I thought then I’d write a bit today on why that is and how it actually benefits our digestion, bowel function and skin.
Salt has for a long time copped a bad wrap due to it’s link with high blood pressure (hypertension) and rightfully so when it’s refined salt that we taking about such as found in your typical table More >
Where do Colonics fit in with health maintenance?
Oct 28th
Colon hydrotherapy is a subject which often draws a polarized response, often anything from utter intrigue to downright horror! I thought then that I’d put something together that might answer some basic questions, explain where I think it has its place and hopefully demystify a subject which is often poorly understood.

Firstly I’ll answer some of the questions up front which undoubtedly some of you have (I get asked these all the time);
‘Does stuff get stuck up there that has been in there for years?’ This one is similar to “have I ever seen a marble or crayon that More >
Guaranteed the best way to start the day!
Oct 25th
After 8-10 hours of ‘fasting’ overnight, your body is primed for some nourishment. Don’t waste this opportunity to firstly continue the body’s natural cleansing process and refuel the body for the day’s mental and physical activities.
Healthy Breakfast Foods
Did you know having a tablespoon of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar in water with 1/4 teaspoon of bi-carbonate soda will decrease the viscosity (thickness) of your blood? With your blood flowing more easily this kickstarts your circulation and lymphatic system into eliminating waste (detoxify), an important yet often overlooked necessity in maintaining wellbeing. Have a glass of this first up and notice the difference in your energy levels! Hippocrates, More >
