Did you know that a boy born in Australia today can expect to live to 81.3 years, and a girl to 85.4 years?

Compare that to just over a century ago, when life expectancy sat closer to 50 for both men and women.

That is an extraordinary improvement.

But here is the catch.

Not everyone who reaches 81 or 85 gets there feeling well.

Pete and I want to help you do more than simply add years.

We want to help you add life to those years, so you are thriving all the way to your last breath, not just existing.

Did you know that the most productive years of successful people’s lives are often between 60 and 70?

The second most productive years, 70 to 80.

The third, 50 to 60.

These are supposed to be the best years of your life, not the years everyone tells you it is all downhill from here.

So how do you make sure you get there feeling strong, clear and free?

It starts with your mitochondria.

Mitochondria are the tiny powerhouses inside every one of your fifty trillion cells, creating the energy you need to live, work, play and repair yourself.

When they are firing properly, you are having a good day.

When they are misfiring, you feel it everywhere.

One of the most important things you can do for your mitochondria is give your body minerals and trace minerals.

Our soils have been growing more mineral-deficient for close to a century, which means our food is, too.

The most efficient, cost-effective way to top this up is with high-quality Himalayan salt, added liberally to your drinking water and sprinkled over your food.

Then there is iodine.

Iodine is one of the most important and least talked about trace elements we need.

It comes right after air, water and salt in terms of what your body cannot do without.

Globally, more than 1.9 billion people have inadequate iodine intake, roughly a third of the world’s population.

Iodine plays a critical role in hormone production, including thyroid hormone, oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone and growth hormone.

Without enough of it, none of these can be produced properly.

It is also one of the leading nutritional causes of intellectual impairment worldwide.

If you have ever felt irritable, foggy, flat or inexplicably low, iodine deficiency could be part of the picture.

In women it often shows up as irritability and hormonal upheaval.

In men, withdrawal, low libido and a flat mood.

Now let’s talk about toxic load.

We are exposed to more toxins in a single day than our grandparents were in their entire lifetime.

Your liver may be holding onto fat simply to protect you from all of this, which is one reason weight gain is so rarely just about calories in versus calories out.

Around 88 percent of people in the US, and very likely a similar proportion of Australians, are dealing with some form of metabolic disease.

This is not a personal failing.

It is a body doing its best to cope with an overwhelming modern load.

Let me tell you about a client of ours.

He was a retired farmer who still liked to drive trucks for a bit of extra income.

When he needed a hip replacement, he was worried about how long it would take to get back on his feet, especially with a job that meant climbing in and out of a cab all day.

Around that time, he started on the Purple House Smoothie, along with increasing his water and salt intake.

That was the only thing he changed.

Within a short time, he was recovering from his hip surgery in record time, moving in and out of the truck like a man half his age.

People around him started noticing.

Colleagues, friends, family, all asking the same question.

What are you on?

What are you having?

He always gives the same answer.

The smoothie.

And do not forget your nervous system.

Around nine in ten visits to the doctor are, at their root, stress related.

Much of that stress traces back to early experiences and unresolved patterns we are not even consciously aware of.

Regular healing sessions to release stress and reset your nervous system can have a ripple effect through your entire body, supporting everything from digestion to hormone balance to sleep.

Here is your roadmap:

• Protect and nurture your mitochondria with nutrient dense food rich in minerals
• Release stored stress and old trauma through regular healing sessions
• Support your cells daily with the Purple House Smoothie
