Pete Evans’ kooky model wife Nicola hides behind a turmeric leaf

She’s the former glamour model credited with introducing her husband, Pete Evans, to the Paleo lifestyle.

And on Thursday, Nicola Robinson posted a bizarre video to Instagram in which she tried to hide behind a turmeric leaf.

The 42-year-old also urging fans to let food be their ‘medicine’, a philosophy she shares with the My Kitchen Rules star. 

Unconventional: Pete Evans’ kooky wife, Nicola Robinson, posted a bizarre video to Instagram on Thursday in which she tried to hide behind a turmeric leaf

In the video, which was filmed outdoors at the Evanses’ $1.2million country retreat in northern NSW, she concealed half of her face and body behind the large leaf.

Rays of sunlight beamed down, obscuring much of the footage in high contrast.

Her long, dark curly locks could be seen cascading over her shoulder on one side, while she peeked through a hole she had cut in the leaf.

She went on to promote the health benefits of the herb, which her whole family enjoys, including their horses and pet dog.

‘Turmeric is one of our favourite gifts to grow and easily one of Ayurveda’s most revered spices. It’s a true culinary star and on our plates daily,’ she wrote in the caption.

(Ayurveda is a system of medicine with historical roots in the Indian subcontinent.)

‘Olly, Benni and Shikoba all enjoy a fermented dose in their dinners from time to time too,’ she added, using the hashtag #LetFoodBeThyMedicine.

It comes after Pete was fined $25,200 for promoting a ‘healing lamp’ that he claimed could help treat coronavirus.  

The Therapeutic Goods Administration issued two infringement notices against his company for alleged breaches of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989.

He allegedly live-streamed a video on Facebook on April 9 claiming a ‘Biocharger’ device could be used in relation to ‘Wuhan Coronavirus’.

The TGA said the claims had no foundation in science.

Any claim the references COVID-19 is banned under the legislation and the TGA has recently issued a warning to advertisers about the legality of it.

The fines were issued for the video and for advertising on Evans’ website.

Pete called the claims ‘unfounded’ in a statement to Daily Mail Australia.

‘The claims made by the TGA are totally unfounded and we will be strongly defending these claims. It is now in the hands of my lawyers,’ he said.

Response: Pete called the claims 'unfounded' in a statement to Daily Mail Australia. The My Kitchen Rules star said he and his family use the 'non-invasive' lamp 'pretty much every day'

Pete had promoted his BioCharger NG Subtle Energy Platform on social media last month, describing it as a ‘hybrid subtle energy revitalisation platform’.

Apparently, his family uses the ‘non-invasive’ lamp every day.

‘It works to optimize your health, wellness, and athletic performance by aligning and balancing the energy of every cell in your body,’ he said.

Pete also said the lamp was programmed with thousands of recipes, several of which might help treat ‘Wuhan coronavirus’.

There is no evidence that the BioCharger has any effect on COVID-19.
