Mim’s Books
For a limited time, Mim’s books will be free to download. Everything you need to know about nutrition, health and well being.
Over the years I have had 7 books published, and thousands of articles. Several of my books are no longer in print, so I have resurrected them, and released the little guys into cyberspace. I know it’s a clumsy way of reading a book, but at least the information is out there. Please accept my apologies for the out of date bits, but it shows how quickly the world of nutrition evolves.
Beaming with Health
The simple guide to feeling good
Beaming with Health was my first book, written in 1993. It still encapsulates my philosophy of health. Enjoy the wonderful cartoons by the very talented Cathy Wilcox.

Nutrition for Slobs
Wasn’t a great choice for a title. You live and learn! People surprisingly didn’t want to be labelled slobs. I actually meant slobs in an affectionate way… most of us enjoy a glass of wine, cup of coffee, even a cigarette or puff of marijuana. It happens. This book was written for people who like to indulge, explains exactly what happens in the body, and what you can do/take to mitigate any harm. Great cartoons by Nick Bleasel.

The Commonsense Guide to Eating Well
for the Nutritionally Bewildered
Another great title (not!) that probably perplexed the punters. This book was written when I was teaching first year nutrition to naturopathic students. I find nutrition fascinating… really! The Commonsense Guide tells you all about the nuts and bolts of food. What is protein…why do we need it. What exactly is an omega 3 fatty acid, and why are they so darned good for us.

Feelgood Food
Food plays a huge role in our daily lives. Among other things, we use it as fuel for our bodies; for its medicinal properties; for comfort; as a reward; as a gift; and for entertainment. While not conceived as a book for sick people, Feelgood Food offers an abundance of foods that treat—and prevent a range of medical conditions, from acne to cystitis to tonsillitis.

Help Yourself - the A-Z of natural cures to common complaints
One of my more popular books, Help Yourself - the A-Z of natural cures to common complaints (co written with Jan Castorina) has been downloaded in the Conditions section of the website. Most of the entries are still pretty accurate even though they are a few years old, however, I am endeavouring to update with new thoughts and remedies.
TEA, health & happiness
Worldwide, tea is the most commonly consumed beverage after water. Long regarded as a refreshing drink, tea has now been shown to have extraordinary health benefits.
In TEA, health & happiness, Mim explores the world of tea - its history, its uses and its limitless variety. Packed with useful and inspiring tips to help you get the most out of your daily cuppa, this delightful book is a celebration of tea in all its forms, from the everyday English Breakfast to the most exotic herbal tisane.
