I will always remember the day we approached Adam and Anya to be part of our 'Souls' project. Adam's genuine enthusiasm was truly uplifting. His innocent question about the cost was a beautiful, pure moment—one that no one had asked before. We assured them there was no cost to be included in our project, only the requirement of being a genuine Byron Soul with an open heart and a generous spirit. From that first encounter, we were drawn to their groundedness, wealth of knowledge, and humility.

What struck me most was how alike Adam and Anya seemed, not just in appearance but also in their essence and mannerisms. Adam, a Byron local, crossed paths with Anya when she was staying in his father's caravan. Their journey together began with Anya's passion for making sauerkraut, and Adam's eagerness to elevate it to the next level. Though there were trials and errors in the beginning—Anya recalls shedding tears over lost barrels of fermented sauerkraut—the rest, as they say, is history. Hailing from Russia, Anya's natural knack for crafting sauerkraut concoctions has become her legacy.

During a recent trip to Melbourne, I caught up with one of my favourite health gurus after six years. In our brief 20-minute reunion, I eagerly sought his latest recommendations. His response? It's all about the gut, and apparently, Peace, Love, and Vegetables, indeed!

Adam and Anya's passion for health is palpable, and they see their purpose as educators and inspirers in this field. Nutrition is a topic close to my heart, so I seized the opportunity to delve into their wealth of knowledge. Engaging with them was a profound learning experience, as they shared invaluable wisdom and insights.
