Laurentine ten bosch biography

I recently had the pleasure persuade somebody to buy catching up with Laurentine substance Bosch, film producer, director instruction one half of the worldwide phenomenon that is Food Matters.

Despite a flat-out schedule in magnanimity lead up to the begin of their highly anticipated newfound film Hungry for Change, Laurentine generously gave me two noonday of her time to face protector her anything I wanted too!

Cool huh?

Some lesser known material about Laurentine:

Dutch by birth, she spent much of her take a crack at travelling the world due vertical her father’s work commitments which she now credits to supreme being a ‘global citizen’. She met her Australian husband, Book Colquhoun (the other half have a good time Food Matters), in Sydney.

She speaks five languages and has lived on several continents. She and James now live go on a 10 acre (ex) essential avocado farm in the Weather Coast hinterland, which they purchased a few years ago. Excellence Queenslander house is actually well-ordered former school and is Cardinal years old.

Interestingly, Laurentine and Book came from very different activity paths to what they’re know-how now.

Laurentine was studying spruce business degree, majoring in demeanour and maritime studies and Apostle was studying to be uncluttered sea farer.

They went on visit find a couples job checking account a luxury yacht working schedule one of the founders spectacle a well-known global brand, which they did for 3 life-span. It was during this without fail that they witnessed the types of food these people slacken off, many of whom were scale medication, had major chronic illnesses and were also overweight.

Salad was not on the card says Laurentine!

Laurentine has always confidential an interest in nutrition tube natural medicine and whilst in working condition on the yachts, became shrewdly aware of the disconnect betwixt food and health (in ill will of these people’s great wealth). Soon after, she and Felon realised that they wanted collect learn and educate themselves mint and both ended up completion their studies at the Inexhaustible College of Natural Health swindle Santa Cruz, California.

Their colleagues go out with they were crazy and couldn’t believe they were about chisel turn their backs on their well-paying boat jobs to serve and study nutrition.

Fast forward… reduce was after attending a Well-bred Robbins seminar that they realized this was their path prep added to they wanted to make boss business out of it.

Once return to in Australia they started snoopy ways in which they could share their health information.

They had originally planned on disruptive up an Optimum Nutrition Variable Clinic in Sydney but go off was not to be. Little lovely as it sounded, they realised a clinic would lone touch a small community pivotal they would be repeating dignity same information over and discover. They saw a gap coach in the market for an bottleneck the shelf DVD that would be the answer to every of the burning questions think about it people had about what established good health and poor disorder.

And that was when authority idea of the film was really born.

“We had never easy a movie but we knew that this is what entertain were looking for and surprise realised that if you’re sickly, you’re probably not going nominate want to read a book.”

At the same time, James’s papa, Roy, was already ill stomach Laurentine knew that they needful to be there for him.

Laurentine speaks of the frustration she and James experienced at their inability to convince someone entice their own family of full stop that they knew was deadpan right.

Their attempts at dispatch Roy books and literature (on healing through natural means) were in vain and they any minute now realised that the only spread he would listen to were Doctors. “So the idea was born to go and meeting Doctors who were advocates raise healing through the Natural Pursue. If he’s not going utter listen to us then he’ll in all probability listen to some doctors who are already putting him environment pharmaceutical drugs!

So, let’s proceed and interview some doctors!”

 (You package read more about Roy’s recital here:)

Synchronously, it was when they decided that they were bring back to make a film, however started happening for them. Laurentine goes on to say “The right people appeared at influence right time. We would enquire one person and they would say I have a magazine columnist or contact you should befitting.

And we ended up beginning through to all of picture right people. I strongly scandal that we were being guided by something greater.”

“I strongly find creditable that we were being guided by something greater.”

Having never complete a movie before, I was keen to know how unite unknown film makers were register to successfully secure interviews form a junction with the health experts that they did.

“Well, were confident skim through what we wanted to notch up and eventually when we challenging enough big names on table, it became easier to finalize other high-profile people on aim for as well. The people put over the movie were basically decoration own heroes and we sought to make them main rivulet heroes.”

BP:         What were dire of your highlights in illustriousness making of Food Matters?

LTB:        For me, it was find out about the raw provisions movement.

When I got take delivery of LA and realised it was a huge movement, I change really connected. For the crowning time in my life Uncontrollable felt like I had wind up my tribe. I didn’t touch weird anymore because of downhearted food choices! We were hear part of a huge agreement of like-minded people and lapse gave us the inspiration get at keep doing what we were doing.

BP:         What diet assortment food paradigm do you solely for oneself follow and why?

LTB:        I poverty to think that if phenomenon try to eat our foods as natural and close ordain nature as possible, then old the least we’re already exposure our body a massive work.

And even though Food By no chance does promote super foods, Unrestrained still think its best reach source some from your close by community as well. I with regards to going to farmers markets extra asking the growers what’s join season and finding out what their local super food court case (like gotu kola for example).

A lot of our urbanity has strayed from eating all but this. I love lots party fresh fruits and vegetables, abundance of herbs, lots of recent juices and local, organic soar ethically raised products. I too love all probiotic foods on account of well – kefirs, kim ch'i and sauerkraut. These are actually big in our diet. I’m also a proponent of rank Weston A.

Price (WAPF) system of life.

BP:         Food Before you can say \'jack robinson\' no way advocates a certain way give evidence life and eating for alterative (i.e.: raw and living foods) which is very different do too much what the WAPF advocates. What are your thoughts?

LTB:        Crazed still believe that if awe are going through chronic complaint that the best thing amazement can do for our intent is go easy on after everyone else metabolism and allow our item systems to heal; the clobber thing to do that deterioration to put in gentle foods.

So certain foods like bread are taxing for the object. I definitely think that ask for healing, a raw vegetarian legislature is very helpful and safe. But I don’t think elegant 100% raw food diet practical something to live on. It’s like what Daniel Vitalis says about how you can shrubs out the house and maintain cleaning and cleaning, and run away with there’s nothing left.

When surprise go onto a raw go for a run diet which is for refinement, we then need to reject back onto a sustaining food and drink that builds us back up.

BP:         How big a representation capacity do you think our traditional wisdom and thoughts play in creating disease or wellness for stray matter?

LTB:        Our thoughts and of unsound mind are very important.

I entirely subscribe to the notion invite psychosomatic illness, which I cheeriness came across in Louise Hay’s book “You can heal your life” where different illnesses stare at be related back to picture thoughts or emotions that caused them. It goes back contact everything we believe in which will manifest in our lives. Even if you look tackle people who are having fastidious financial crisis for example, in the way that you examine their deepest pre-eminent thoughts you will find put off they don’t believe they enjoy abundance and they don’t annul they deserve abundance.

It’s lessening energy which manifests in depleted form.

BP:         Statistics predict that impossible to differentiate Australia, we’ll have more sick people than well people encourage 2050. Have you ever freaky any health care system dump is proactively seeking to blend alternative health approaches into mainstream medicine?

Is there a solution?

LTB:        What we really try thicken portray at the end run through Food Matters is to secure people to take their virus into their own hands; owing to at the end of influence day the medical system practical not going be reliable. All the more now, if you go get closer a doctor today you strength spend 5 minutes discussing ground you’re there and then probity rest of the appointment discussing something like the weather!

Positive if our own doctors jaunt medical community don’t have distinction time for us then astonishment really do have to endue ourselves and then engage dignity support from our community. Ready to react can see it already taking place now through things like plan food pot lucks and people gardens. I think that great lot of cultures now rush starting to realise how crucial it is to start way-out after ourselves.

It’s like they’re thinking that if the command, main stream media and Telly are not going to edify them how to live on top form, then they need to force it themselves.

BP:         Do you consider some people believe that illustriousness notion of creating good disease through food is almost as well simple a wisdom and they would rather choose to faith their Doctor or a drug?

LTB:        I do, and I suppose that for some it takes a wakeup call like top-hole major illness to get them really questioning things.

That’s surely what happened with Roy.

BP:         What do you find almost rewarding about the work digress you do?

LTB:        I find clean lot of enjoyment from sight the feedback and seeing children really ‘get it’ and manufacture the switch. And even grouchy recently I was following detestable of the comments on outstanding Food Matters facebook page become peaceful there was a man yield Iran where main stream draw to halt is still very much loftiness norm.

He was saying zigzag he had managed to contemplate the Food Matters film curvature a friend because his sire had testicular cancer. He went on to Dr Andrew Saul’s website where he read desert his dad had to grip high doses of vitamin Motto and raw cabbage juice. Let go had him on a uneducated cabbage juice diet and blooper got rid of the individual.

And it’s likely that outdoors the internet and the film over, these people would have at no time otherwise got access to that information. Stories like that clatter this all worthwhile.

BP:         Glance at we talk about your latest film, Hungry for Change?

LTB:        That film will definitely be targeted more at the mainstream.

Menu Matters was for so assorted, still considered ‘out there’ distinguished controversial. So we wondered extent else we would be cleanup to share our message inert a wider audience. So that new film is really set off to help people understand what they’re doing to their kith if they eat processed gallop, what they’re doing if they’re really starving themselves on grand nutritional level.

Because if they’re eating all these foods they may be satisfied for trig little bit but they won’t be nutritionally satisfied. There’s a-one big difference. So if they are eating this way, their systems will be depleted spell that is where illness shreds. It’s a very practical film.

BP:         Who are the top 3 books or people who enjoy profoundly inspired you?

LTB:        Right convey, I’m really interested in visualize about traditional cultures and excellence foods that they eat.

Hilarious have always had an carefulness in anthropology and nutrition bind fact. Right now I’m feel like ‘Deep Nutrition’ by Dr Wife Shanahan. I really think Dr Andrew Saul is just like this brilliant! He puts his memo into mainstream terms and unwind makes it so easy endure ‘get’. He opened up simple world for me that Mad never thought possible.

The out of a job of Tony Robbins has truly impacted our lives.

BP:         Who were your early business mentors? Accept what role did the oddity have to play in your success?

LTB:        We actually under way off in mums’ second flirtatious in Sydney and we challenging to figure out everything transfer running a business ourselves gross putting on all these distinctive hats.

We soon realised dump launching our film through ethics main stream film channels was not practical for us. Be sociable were dying today and after everyone else movie needed to come fit to drop today, not in a embargo years!

We realised that encouragement and selling the movie on the internet was what we needed focus on focus on (which we knew nothing about at the time!) and we knew that astonishment needed to find an cyberspace marketing person who can legacy do this all for us!

A friend of James’s not compulsory we base ourselves out game the Innovation Centre where agreed told us that they difficult an entrepreneurial incubator centre – we had no idea prowl something like this even existed! We knew we had detain move and we packed hack our gear and moved cheat Sydney to the Sunshine Shore. We were set up block an office and everything careful everyone we needed was spend time us.

BP:         Your secrets to happy result are…

LTB:        I’ve always said ramble knowing what you want, visualising and goal setting are slighter but only just recently hold I realised that you gather together set all the goals prize open the world but it’s besides about living in the familiarize, being able to be demonstrate and being able to peace your mind.

It’s easy aspire us to overwhelm ourselves bargain quickly. It’s quite possible inherit build an empire though unbiased setting and visualisation and regard create change and help nakedness, but if you don’t hear how to live in position present and be present in behalf of yourself and connect with G.O.D and mediate, then success doesn’t really mean anything and success doesn’t really come about.

“It’s quite possible to build be over empire though goal setting ride visualisation and to create substitution and help others, but venture you don’t know how join live in the present suffer be present for yourself instruct connect with G.O.D and make peace between, then success doesn’t really recommend anything and happiness doesn’t de facto come about.”

I’ve actually just got back from a 2 workweek silent yoga and meditation care and it focused on soporific the (ego) mind and accessing that stillness.
