What exactly is a Primalista?
A Primalista is a Primal Alternative Producer. They run their own home-based businesses, supplying Primal Alternative food products to their communities.
Primalistas bake and then supply the Primal Alternative Range to local businesses – think health food stores, gyms, cafes, schools, supermarkets, etc. You can also find Primalistas at farmers markets, supplying products directly to the public.
The baking is easy! No artisan baking skills required. Simply measure, mix and bake.
With a growing demand for a convenient source of real, grain free, alternative food staples, there has never been a better time to invest in this innovative business model.

“I knew I wanted to do something food related, but was not quite sure what or how as I had no experience in that industry.Ā Untilā¦.one day I came across a post in my Instagram feed about the Primal Alternative business opportunity. It just felt right and I contacted Helen from PA immediately, and had my interview sitting in my car in a carpark!Ā With support from my family, I signed up, and I feel itās the best decision I have ever made.”

Do people like me become Primalistas?
Primalistas come from all walks of life, some have kids, some don’t, some work, some don’t but they have these things in common:
They are passionate about gut healing & health and they love cooking.
They want to:
- share their passion but were not sure how
- put their health first and foremost
- work their own hours, be their own boss & have their own business
- earn money, grow & learn
- support their family’s health and find what lights them up
- find the next chapter
- follow their dreams towards holistic health & healing, Ā their love of paleo and real food
- feel supported on their journey by a community that get it
When they were at the stage you are at now, they felt curious, cautious but excited.Ā Is that how you feel?
What does being a Primalista Involve?
- Sourcing your own ingredients and equipment
- Finding retailers and customers who want to buy your products
- Baking
- Distributing
You create your own schedule, and only need to bake and distribute the amount that suits you.
You can build a full-time business or part-time, with the flexibility to adjust this as you go.
Your freedom-based lifestyle means that your income is in your hands – each Primalista gets out what they put in.
Before I joined Primal Alternative, I was sick of working full time for someone else.Ā I was wanting the reward of building something for myself and my future family and having flexibility to live life the way I want to.Ā My market stall has been amazing! Itās been so relaxing and enjoyable providing quality, healthy food to the community and getting to know them through the process.
Since becoming a Primalista Iām more focussed and organised in my time and have grown my confidence in that I can learn how to run a business and that I am capable.Ā Ā I love that even though I am moving to a new community soon I will be able to take Primal Alternative with me and easily find a customer base near my new home. It is really something that you can tailor to suit your needs at any time in your life so I love that flexibility.
If youāre thinking of becoming a Primalista I say – don’t spend the rest of your life wondering ‘what if’! It is on the edges of our comfort zone where we grow the most.

Can I see Primalista Licence reviews from existing Primalistas?
Want to read stories from entrepreneurial health enthusiasts just like you and see the results they’ve been able to create after starting their baking business?
Weāve got you covered.
“I was interested in the Primalista Licence as it offered me the flexibility of working from home and utilising my baking skills.Ā I was surprised at how quick the cashflow was.Ā People stop me in the street or supermarket asking for the products and placing orders. Itās so great, and can work for anyone.Ā Itās cruisey, but fluent and productive. The support is phenomenal. Itās so easy to love what you do when it works for you.”
Primalista Amie, WA

” What an incredible two years itās been…itās taken me so far from the life I had pre-Primal Alternative. Iāve gone from working solo in a fatigue-inducing day job to running my own business, doing something I love, and being part of a true team of āsistasā. Back then I dreamed of doing something else, of living a different life, of making something different of myself. But something always held me back – I had no faith in my abilities and I was terrified to step outside of my comfort zone (no matter how uncomfortable my ācomfort zoneā actually was!). Finding Primal Alternative was a blessing. This opportunity spoke to me. I immediately felt connected and supported to take the chance. It was exactly what I had been waiting for. All the heart eyes for that šššššæ”

“I was looking to fulfill my passion for baking but doing something meaningful with it to help others. Having my own dietary challenges, I understand how hard it can be to find specialist healthy products. Itās so great when people come to the stall and get all excited because they can buy so many diverse products. My son helps me on the market stall, and itās been great to have that mum and son time. Working on a market stall soon helps build your confidence and the other traders are your community too. My son has also grown in confidence and itās great to see him helping people too. The Primalista community is such a welcoming community. You ask a question and always get multiple answers, everything from how to cook something, where to buy something to how to set a stall up. If youāre thinking of becoming a Primalista I say jump in!”

Meet H – Primal Alternative Founder
Hey there, I’m Helen Marshall but you can call me H!
In 2015Ā I was faced with a health crisis which included chronic nausea, insomnia, headaches, depression, anxiety and phobias. After trying other remedies to no avail, I returned to a diet of plants and animals to reclaim my health ā I ditched grains, sugar and seed oils and embraced sunshine, sleep, nature and connection.
The results were life-changing ā and I wanted to share them with the world. I became a Primal Health Coach and founded Primal Alternative so others with a loveĀ for real, healthy food could start their own home business, align their day-to-day with their values, and make a difference in their community!
The Primalista Licence launched on Dec 26 2016 and to date over 230 incredible people (men & women) have become Licensed Primal Alternative Producers.
Primal Alternative now has an online store and over 430 stockists across Australia, the UK, New Zealand and the US.
In 2017Ā Quirky Cooking collaborated with Primal Alternative to bring a ready made version of their Life Changing Dough to the community.
From 2018 to 2020 Primal Alternative collaborated with Chef Pete Evans to bring a lunch box friendly No Nut Hemp Bread, in 2019 the No Nut Hemp Wrap & in 2020 No Nut Hemp Granola.
In 2021 Low Tox Life joined the Primal Alternative family with the introduction of the divine Brownies Mix.
These high profile collaborations boost Primal Alternative’s reputation making it easier for Primalistas to make sales.
I hosted the Primal Alternative Podcast on the Wellness Couch for 4 years, which is the number one ranked health and wellness podcast station in Australia. I got myself on to many podcasts as a guest and made some cool friends in the wellness industry which helped to grow the Primal Alternative brand.
Before ditching the rat race, I was a Fitness Instructor and Personal trainer then a Business Manager for a leading recruitment company in the city.Ā I’ve interviewed people all of my life, listening to their desires around health, work and lifestyle and I’ve combined those skills to bring my greatest contribution yet ā the Primalista Baking Licence.
I can see a Primalista in every town.
I live on 100 acres of wilderness in Albany, WA with my hunky Kiwi husband Mike and our babies Sam & Milly. I like Body Pump, Body Balance, massage, saunas, coffee with me bestie, sunbathing, meditation, walks in nature, swimming in the ocean and champagne in the spa.
Thanks for being here!
Love, H xx
