| STNH 48: Jules Galloway - Thyroid Testing: What you need to know | 28 nov. 2022 | 00:21:02 | |
This is the first of what will be occasional episodes about common health issues we see in practice. Beware - Jules may get a little ranty/sweary at times as she goes over how to spot the symptoms, how to test, why your doctor didn't pick it up, and what to do about it. In this episode, she is talking about hypothyroidism and what to do if your doctor says you're fine but you've still got all the symptoms. You may be feeling some of the following:
Jules will go into the basics and limitations of thyroid testing and why the TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) test does not pick up 100% of hypothyroidism cases. She chats about which tests to do instead, how to get them done, and why seeing a Naturopath is the logical next step when you can't find answers through the medical system.

| STNH 42: Tammy Guest – Living an Unrestricted Life | 10 juil. 2022 | 00:58:07 | |
Meet Tammy Guest – a very dear friend of mine. In fact, I have no idea why she hasn't been on the podcast sooner! She is a naturopath, a business mentor, a trailblazer, a risk-taker, a rule-breaker and a leader in our industry. She is loved and respected by literally thousands of naturopaths and nutritionists, who look up to her for guidance, support and inspiration. And guess what – she's also an author, and has written a brand new book called Unrestricted: A modern guide to doing business and life differently. It's the essential handbook for driven entrepreneurs who want to make a real difference in the world, without sacrificing the things they value most. Yep, she doesn't just help health practitioners, but also business owners, change-makers and driven humans of all kinds. We live in an era where there are so many opportunities to create a business out of our passions. Where we can create a career model that fits the life we want to live, rather than fitting our lives around our work. Where "burnout" will no longer be a badge of honour, and "busy" is not a term to strive for. Whether you're in the health and wellness industry, or passionate about something else entirely, what Tammy has to share is so relevant for all. So let's pick her beautiful brain about all things wellness industry, mindset and life. Want to connect with Tammy? Want to connect with Jules?

| STNH 41: Jo Whitton – Simple, Healing Food | 03 juil. 2022 | 00:59:55 | |
Meet Jo Whitton – an amazing wholefoods cook, an author and a recipe developer. But she's also one of the nicest, most caring, most giving and generous people in the Australian wellness industry. She was also one of the very first guests on my podcast (episode 9 to be exact), back in 2016 when it was called Shiny Healthy You. Since then, we've shared the stage together at wellness events, shared air BnBs at events (where I'm pretty sure I kept her up till at least 2am), and shared organic ice-cream in Brunswick Heads. But most importantly we share a mutual love of serving our communities, and teaching people everywhere that foods that heal your gut can also taste amazing, without being complicated to make. In this episode, we chat about:

| STNH 40: Vanessa Lamaro – Healthy periods over 35 | 26 juin 2022 | 00:52:57 | |
Meet naturopath Vanessa Lamaro. We went through college together in Melbourne, and not too long after that she moved to the Sunshine Coast. I eventually moved here too, which means that now we can have the occasional cheeky wine and chat about all things naturopathy. She niched herself in the fertility space, and has also expanded on that to cover women's hormonal health of ALL ages… because reproductive health spans much further than just having babies – it often determines your quality of life waaaay past the age of 35, 40, 45 and onwards. Sometimes at this age we get forgotten about in the medical system, because – if you've got period troubles but you're not planning to get pregnant, just go on the pill and carry on, right? Hmmmm… I think we can do better than that. In this show we will look at the underlying causes of period issues in women over 35, including the truth behind heavy bleeding, pain and cycle length going completely out of whack. So listen in as I pick Vanessa's brain about how to have a healthy period and a healthy cycle, right into middle age… and what to do if things go wrong. Want to connect with Vanessa online?

| STNH 39: Erin Lovell Verinder and Sarah Mann – Community Herbal Care | 19 juin 2022 | 01:04:22 | |
It's been several months since Lismore and surrounding areas of the Northern Rivers in NSW experienced flooding beyond what anyone ever thought was possible. While they went under and struggled to just stay alive and have basic needs met, so many of us watched on from afar, feeling utterly shocked and helpless. But out of every tragedy and disaster comes stories of determination, resilience, resolve and community. And this week's guests have created something truly special that our whole naturopathic industry is talking about, and that is – to bring FREE natural healthcare to those affected when they needed it the most. There are two types of people in the world – those who say "someone should do something about that," and others who say "I am that someone." This dream team of Erin Lovell Verinder and Sarah Mann is the latter. As the floods were still raging, they were mobilising. First with a callout to naturopaths and herbalists to please send through whatever donations they could manage of herbs and supplements, then the big companies, then investors to make it happen on a larger scale. And Community Herbal Care was born. Tune into this episode to find out how they did it. We are stronger as an industry when we work together, and it fills me with joy to see our best and brightest praccies working together like this. So please enjoy this inspiring and heart-warming chat with Erin and Sarah. (Pic thanks to Amanda Callan aka @amanda.naturopathy). Community Herbal Care needs your help! The recovery in the Northern Rivers is still happening… and they will continue to need our help for months (maybe even years) to come. All donations, big and small, will be received with huge amounts of gratitude. Please visit their Go Fund Me page here. And you can also watch their progress on Instagram here.

| STNH 38: Rhiannon Hardingham – Fertility in a post Covid world | 05 juin 2022 | 00:58:19 | |
Rhiannon Hardingham has become a leader in her field of all things fertility, reproductive health and IVF support. I've been super excited to watch her go from strength to strength, because we actually went to college together, 20 years ago. (Yep – 20 years!). She's a naturopath, and she had one of the brightest minds in our year level (pretty sure she shat all over me in biochemistry). She's gone on to become a clinician and also a speaker and author in her niche. So I thought she'd be the perfect person to speak to about navigating reproductive health in a post pandemic world. In this episode we will cover:

| STNH 37: Daniel Baden – Long Covid and post viral fatigue | 29 mai 2022 | 00:53:13 | |
Meet Daniel Baden – an extremely well-known and respected name in the Australian naturopathic community. He is a naturopath and homoeopath, and has also taken on many roles over the years including; working with industry regulatory committees, providing technical support to practitioners, assisting various groups in research projects, lecturer, author, and, possibly the role he's best known for, the co-founder and executive director of BioMedica Nutraceuticals. He is a trusted speaker, with a "no stone left unturned" scientific approach to his research and presentations. He somehow manages to seamlessly blend traditional naturopathic philosophy with the latest cutting edge research. Which is why we love him, and why he's the perfect person to speak to about this episode's topic. You see… there's been a "certain virus" on the loose for the last couple of years, and we're seeing a LOT of people pulling up super rough from it. Now… in the naturopathic world, we've been banging on about something called post viral fatigue for decades… which means we already have plenty of tools and learnings that we can apply to the current situation. But this latest pandemic has really taken things up a notch. So let's pick Daniel's brain for some clinical GOLD. In this episode, you will learn:
This is a fascinating blend of science and evidence-based info, with a wonderful heartfelt sprinkling of naturopathic philosophy throughout. This episode is brought to you by BioMedica Nutraceuticals, an Australian owned natural health company dedicated exclusively to the needs of practitioners in clinical practice.

| STNH 36: Sandeep Gupta – Mould Illness Made Simple | 22 mai 2022 | 00:55:04 | |
This year has been the wettest, most humid, and consequently the mouldiest EVERRRR on many parts of the east coast of Australia. Which means – the numbers of people with CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome), MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) and mould illness are growing at an alarming rate. Meet Sandeep Gupta – a board certified general practice physician practicing on Australia's Sunshine Coast (aka Mould Central right now!). He has a Fellowship and Masters degree in Nutritional & Environmental Medicine and five years experience of working in intensive care medicine. He runs a busy integrative medicine practice, Lotus Holistic Medicine, helping his patients to achieve optimal health and finding answers to complex medical problems. He was the first non-US physician to complete the certification in biotoxin illness with Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker in 2014, and is now leading the way in Australia as THE go-to doctor for mould illness, CIRS and MCAS. In this episode, we chat about:
Dr Sandeep Gupta also has a course for those wanting to heal from mould illness. It's an amazing resource, and the perfect place to start for anyone affected by mould exposure. It's called "Mold Illness Made Simple" (yep – it's the US spelling of "mold"), and you can check it out via my affiliate link here: Click here to access Mold Illness Made Simple.

| STNH 35: Rebecca Edwards – New natural solutions for mental health issues | 14 déc. 2021 | 00:53:17 | |
Rebecca Edwards is so awesome that she has joined us for 3 consecutive episodes. When we were originally teeing up an interview, there were literally SO MANY amazing topics being thrown around that we couldn't choose just one. Rebecca is a speaker, writer, educator, and qualified naturopath. She has more than fifteen years of experience educating on all aspects of complementary and integrative health. She has lectured to undergraduate students in Australia, the UK, and the US, and delivered naturopathic education to healthcare practitioners all round the world. She is also the Director of Education at Activated Probiotics, so she's across all the latest studies and research. She is also a complete microbiome nerd, and passionate about educating people about all the far-reaching effects a healthy, or an unhealthy microbiome can have on the human body. So over 3 episodes we have explored 3 health issues that can be affected by a poor microbiome, and we've been covering the latest research in how to manage them. This week's topic is mental health, and how probiotics are being used to help. We are currently experiencing an epidemic of anxiety, depression and mental health issues. Over the last decade, we've learned so much from research into the gut-brain axis, and the importance of gut health in order to create good mental health. But there's so much more to it than that. Cue – going down the nerdy rabbit hole of probiotic research with Rebecca, and exploring the exciting world of strain-specific probiotics for targeted therapy. In this episode we chat about the role of inflammation in anxiety, low mood and sleep disturbances, the role of the microbiome in mental health, and the latest research on which strains are the most effective in helping to improve symptoms. A huge thanks to Activated Probiotics for sponsoring this episode. You can find out more about them (and see the results of Rebecca's great work) by visiting activatedprobiotics.com.au.

| STNH 34: Rebecca Edwards – Why we aren't absorbing iron… and what to do about it | 07 déc. 2021 | 01:01:10 | |
Rebecca Edwards is so awesome that she will be joining us for 3 whole episodes. When we were teeing up an interview, there were literally SO MANY amazing topics being thrown around that we couldn't choose just one. Rebecca is a speaker, writer, educator, and qualified naturopath. She has more than fifteen years of experience educating on all aspects of complementary and integrative health. She has lectured to undergraduate students in Australia, the UK, and the US, and delivered naturopathic education to healthcare practitioners all round the world. She is also the Director of Education at Activated Probiotics, so she's across all the latest studies and research. She is also a complete microbiome nerd, and passionate about educating people about all the far-reaching effects a healthy, or an unhealthy microbiome can have on the human body. So over 3 episodes we will be exploring 3 health issues that can be affected by a poor microbiome, and we'll talk about the latest research in how to manage them. This week's topic is iron deficiency, especially in women. Low iron is something that both doctors and naturopaths/nutritionists see a LOT of in clinic. And often, despite giving high doses of iron supplements, levels simply do not budge. It's so frustrating! So… is it just about finding the "right" type of iron to give to the patient? Or is there something else going on? Enter Rebecca and her incredible knowledge of the biochemistry of iron absorption, and the role of the microbiome (and targeted probiotic therapy) in helping turn the deficiency state around. WARNING: This episode is pretty heavy on the tech side of things, (including a built-in biochemistry lesson, which plays out like a Disney movie!). So keep a pen and paper handy and switch off your other devices, so that you can pay this one your full attention. (And practitioners – I KNOW you're going to love this one – so many clinical pearls in there!). A huge thanks to Activated Probiotics for sponsoring this episode.

| STNH 33: Rebecca Edwards – Saving Our Bones – The role of the microbiome in osteoporosis | 30 nov. 2021 | 00:56:59 | |
Rebecca Edwards is so awesome that she will be joining us for 3 whole episodes. When we were teeing up an interview, there were literally SO MANY amazing topics being thrown around that we couldn't choose just one. Rebecca is a speaker, writer, educator, and qualified naturopath. She has more than fifteen years of experience educating on all aspects of complementary and integrative health.

She is also a complete microbiome nerd, and passionate about educating people about all the far-reaching effects a healthy, or an unhealthy microbiome can have on the human body. So over next 3 episodes we will be exploring 3 health issues that can be affected by a poor microbiome, and we'll talk about the latest research in how to manage them. And our first topic is bone density – yep – prevention of that pesky little sucker known as osteoporosis. Something ALL women… and men (especially those over 40) should be tuning in to learn about. Did you know that Western women have a 50% lifetime risk of osteoporotic fractures? This is super common… and serious, because one the fracture has occurred, there's also an increased risk of mortality. Yet… Rebecca says "Calcium supplements are overused in relation to the benefit they give." Say whattt? Yep – there's new research coming out on the gut-bone axis – the direct line of communication between our digestion and our bones. And the role that inflammation plays in the increased breakdown of bones. Cue – targeted probiotic therapy to improve gut health, reduce inflammation and slow down bone loss. So tune in and nerd out with us and discover a new way of looking at not just osteoporosis, but also probiotics (it's not just about pumping in the 'good guys" into your gut – it's so much more than that!).

| STNH 32: Kira Sutherland – Nutrition for active women | 23 nov. 2021 | 01:01:55 | |
Meet Kira Sutherland – a highly experienced naturopath, sports nutritionist, and much-loved lecturer and speaker. She is known as one of THE go-to practitioners in our industry when it comes to understanding the needs of active people and athletes. But you don't need to be at an elite level in order to benefit from her wisdom and knowledge. So even if you are training to run 5km or wanting to get into gym training, listen up, because there will be SO many gold nuggets in here for you. (Oh – and if you ARE an elite athlete, pay extra attention, because this woman has information to share that could literally be game-changing for you.) Most studies done on sports nutrition are done on… you guessed it… MEN. And as Kira says, "Women are not small men." So it's time to look into what is best for us females (yay!), whether we're elite athletes, weekend warriors, or anything in between. In this episode we delve into nutrition for active women, and cover ALL the juicy stuff, including:

| STNH 31: Jade Miles – Futuresteading – Live like tomorrow matters | 16 nov. 2021 | 00:51:38 | |
Many people think that permaculture is JUST about gardening or growing food in a sustainable or organic way… but you are about to learn that it is sooo much more than that. Meet the gentle powerhouse that is Jade Miles. She is passionate about localised food, regenerative farming practices, intentional growing, and operates a farm rich in its diversity of produce. She grows apples, pears and berries, nuts, stone fruit, quince, olives, pomegranates, currants, figs, herbs, flowers and vegetables. Her background in tourism shines through in her business model, as you can visit her property and pick your own fruit. She also operates a fruit tree and perennial plant nursery, and runs regular feasts, gatherings, workshops, schools programs and farm tours educate us about the food that we eat and the skills needed to grow it. If that's not enough (hmmm… type A, much?), she is also a keynote speaker, a podcaster, a writer, and she has just finished her first book, Futuresteading – Live Like Tomorrow Matters. Jade takes us through the core principles of permaculture, which are:
…and she makes it accessible and do-able for EVERYONE… even if you like in a city, and your "garden" is your balcony! Just like yoga is so much more than just the poses, permaculture is so much more than just growing food. It's about tuning into the seasons, getting outdoors, slowing down, appreciating (and sharing!) what you have, building a strong local community, living harmoniously with the world around you, and creating a simple life that still feels rich and abundant. Listen as Jade takes us through the simple but powerful shifts we can make as we embrace the bigger picture… and how to do it all in a joyous, no-pressure, non-dogmatic way.

| STNH 30: Kylie Pinwill – 5 things your mum didn't tell you about menopause | 09 nov. 2021 | 00:59:41 | |
Today's guest came into my life as a breath of fresh air on the Sunshine Coast. She was one of the first people to welcome me when I moved to the area, with a coffee and a chat. Turns out we got along famously. She's an amazing nutritionist who works in a niche that is soooooo needed. You see, she's all about helping women navigate their perimenopausal and menopausal years with more ease and grace. We were talking last week about the changes that both our bodies are currently going through, and also those of our clients, and we were joking about the fact that no one tells you what you're in for. Like, not even our mums. We often get told about the hot flushes and the night sweats (often because we'll see a family member or friend struggling in the hot weather), but menopause is sooooo much more than that. And that a lot of symptoms come as a surprise and/or shock to women. Which is why I've got her on the show. We decided that we want to be ALL about the education, so we will be going through the top 5 things your mum didn't tell you about menopause. And we won't be pulling any punches. Yep, we will be going into glorious detail… yep, even the vag symptoms! And of course, we will be giving you loads of tips on how to manage your symptoms naturally. Want more of Kylie? Head to http://kyliepinwill.com. or follow her on social media here: … and her amazing Facebook group "Hormone Hub – Perimenopause and Menopause Support Group" is here.

| STNH 29: Emma Park – The First 1000 Days – microbiome in mums and bubs | 24 mai 2021 | 01:08:19 | |
Meet Emma Park – she's a good friend of mine, a bloody amazing practitioner, and a super intelligent human. She's out-nerds me on all things gut bugs and microbiome, and just quietly, is one of my go-to phone-a-friends when I have a tricky question. So to my zoom clients, when I say to you "I'm just going to check that with a colleague," it could well be this woman I'm calling. Her wholefood cooking on Instagram stories is to die for, and it's lucky we don't live in the same town, otherwise I'd be on her doorstep every single night. She brings her knowledge as a nutritionist and her love of food together in epic meals with loads of veggies and gut loving ingredients. Her love of feeding people healthy meals has even extended to her leading teams in remote parts of Australia on indigenous health and nutrition projects, where their efforts saw health markers dramatically change in their sample populations after just one month's work. But the reason I've got her on the show is because she also wears another hat – you see, her absolute zone of genius is working with pregnant women and new mums to ensure a healthy gut microbiome, through the combination of diet, gut healing strategies and the right probiotics at the right times. So, this episode is all about picking her brain on how to achieve better outcomes for both mums and bubs. In this interview, we will cover:

| STNH 28: Lara Briden – The hormone rollercoaster of perimenopause | 10 mai 2021 | 01:03:34 | |
You may remember Lara Briden from Episode 21 of this podcast, when we had a very enlightening chat about PCOS and endometriosis. She is a naturopathic doctor, an educator, an author, and a women's health activist. She literally wrote the book on how to have a healthy, stress free, pain free cycle – it's called the Period Repair Manual and it's loved by both practitioner and laypeople alike. And now she's back with a new book called the Hormone Repair Manual – Every Woman's Guide to Healthy Hormones After 40, which is all about perimenopause and menopause. Which I have to say, that as a woman who is about to have her 45th birthday, I find this more than a little timely. So just like last time, we are going to talk about what's normal, what isn't normal, how to address unwanted symptoms naturally, and how we can navigate this tricky time with grace and ease. If you're a woman over 35 years old, this episode is a MUST. In this podcast we will cover:

| STNH 27: Sharon Collon – Nourishing the mothers of kids with special needs | 18 avr. 2021 | 00:51:45 | |
You may remember Sharon Collon from Episode 7 of Straight Talking Natural Health, where we talked about ADD/ADHD, and her business, The Functional Family. Several members of her household have ADHD, which in the past led to her becoming burnt out as she learned to navigate everyone's needs, constantly putting herself last. She developed an autoimmune disease and had to embark on a long road back to recovery, learning a lot along the way about self care. Sadly, this isn't an unusual scenario for mums of kids who have additional needs. Anecdotally in both our businesses, Sharon and I have both noticed a HUGE link between having neurodiverse kids, and the mums developing chronic illness, especially autoimmune diseases and health conditions associated with long-term stress. So I've got her on the show to pick her brain about nourishing the mother, and how to create a structure and lifestyle where EVERYONE is healthy and happy. Listen as we chat about:

| STNH 26: Jess Jones – The Burnout Club | 22 mars 2021 | 00:47:24 | |
Meet Jess Jones – she runs a club that in her own words, you never wanted to be in. But sadly it's a club to which many of us could subscribe, or have been a good candidate for in the past. It's a club that I think is on the way to have many more members too, if we don't start taking steps to avoid it. You see, it's called the Burnout Club, and it's a place for women to learn a new way to live, work and most importantly, practice self care. And by self-care, I do NOT mean a pedicure or massage (although they're great). Think of it as a complete mindset shift and habit change for many women. Basically this is rehab for Type A's. And it's SOOOOO needed. In this interview, we chat about:

| STNH 25: The Merrymaker Sisters – Self-acceptance, self-kindness and respect for our bodies | 14 mars 2021 | 00:50:10 | |
You may remember Emma and Carla Papas (aka The Merrymaker Sisters) from long, long ago when they featured on my podcast when it was called Shiny Healthy You. Back then we chatted about all things food, healthy eating, and how to eat gluten, dairy and sugar-free whilst still being excited about food. Since then, their business has taken a bit of a different direction. You see, they have gone down the rabbit hole into yoga, pilates, meditation, and all things body acceptance and self-kindness. But of course they didn't stop there. They launched an app which has brought everything together in one place – amazing recipes, motivation, pilates, meditation, yoga… the lot. Through their app, their podcast, their blog and their social media, they reach 118,000 people every single month. That's huge. But what's even more amazing is that their work has transcended age groups – they serve people who are at all stages of life – from kids and teenagers, to busy mums and professional women, and those aged 60 and beyond. Emma and Carla have a LOT to say about body image and why the fitness industry is built on body shaming. Listen as we chat about:
This episode is a MUST for anyone who's been let down by the diet industry, who's ever felt like they're not enough, who's grappling with accepting themselves (curvy bits and all)… and for anyone with a teenage daughter.

| STNH 24: Hayley Dawson – What's in your tank water? | 28 févr. 2021 | 01:00:38 | |
Some of you may remember Hayley Dawson (aka The Rural Naturopath) from episode number 17 of Straight Talking Natural Health, where we talked about what it's like to be a natural health practitioner in the country areas of Australia. It was an eye opener that revealed the unique issues that our rural and remote communities face when it comes to wellbeing. I've gotten this legend back on the show to share with you a personal story about her own health issues, and a warning. If you're on tank water, if you visit somewhere regularly that has tank water, or if someone you love is on tank water, listen up, because this episode contains information that you may find shocking, and that you 100% need to hear. Do NOT put this off. This is one of those "take action now" kinda podcasts. In this episode, you will learn:

| STNH 23: Caitlin Cady – Meditation, perfectionism, and overcoming the resistance to being still | 21 févr. 2021 | 00:58:34 | |
Caitlin Cady is an absolute powerhouse of a woman whose CV kinda reads like a Choose Your Own Adventure novel. On one hand, she's a driven business person who owns two nightclubs and has been known to listen to gangster rap. On the other hand, she exudes a calm radiance, is a devoted yogi, and has been described as "spiritual AF." She has a beautiful, heart-centred business that's all about getting people to meditate regularly. She makes meditation accessible, enjoyable… and dare I say it… fashionable. (Ahem – just ask her about her super cute line of clothing.) Most of all, she's now a published writer of a fabulous book, "Heavily Meditated." In this episode we chat about:

| STNH 22: Amie Skilton – Mould Illness Explained | 07 févr. 2021 | 01:20:01 | |
Amie Skilton is quite simply one of the warmest, most approachable, most intelligent and well researched practitioners in our industry. She's a bit of a legend when it comes to skin issues and some of you may know her from her social media where she is known as "That Naturopath." But her interests and her zone of genius took a pivot in recent years when she developed a very serious case of mould illness and CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome). In 2017 Amie went from being a normal, healthy woman, to being completely physically and neurologically debilitated… due to mould exposure in a water damaged building. She was told by a doctor that "there's nothing is wrong with you." So she did what any good naturopath does – she sought out further studies so that she could help both herself and others with the same issue (because that's what we do!). She threw herself into the world of building biology and is now a qualified mould testing technician. Mould illness is a huge issue in Australia – naturopaths see so much of it in practice, and it's often mistakenly diagnosed as adrenal fatigue, chronic fatigue or allergies. So this episode is a MUST if you or someone close to you is experiencing these issues. In this episode we cover:

| STNH 20: Emily Hazell – How to boost serotonin naturally | 24 janv. 2021 | 00:47:54 | |
Meet Emily Hazell – she has built an oasis in Melbourne that helps people escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A place that has become a sanctuary for busy people who need a moment to chill out away from the pressure of their fast paced lives. A place with a menu full of incredible, healthy foods… with a twist. You see, she has designed everything around boosting your happy, feelgood neurotransmitters, and in particular, a little guy called Serotonin. In fact, she refers to her business as a "happiness centre." I've spent years being dazzled by her instagram feed, full of colourful, vibrant food that literally makes me drool. So I'm so excited about having her on the podcast. In this episode, you will learn:
This is one of those beautiful conversations where you realise that deep down you KNOW what you need to be doing for your health, but it reminds you to actually prioritise those things.

| STNH 19: Liz Cook – What the perfume industry isn't telling you | 12 janv. 2021 | 00:49:47 | |
Meet Liz Cook – a trailblazer in the perfume industry, because she's doing it very differently to the big names. She has the most beautiful brand called One Seed, which makes organic perfumes with nothing nasty added. And there was a real need in the marketplace for this to happen. Why? You see, most of them are super toxic. Like, full of chemicals that will disrupt your hormones toxic. And there are some high profile "natural" companies out there who are claiming to be low tox, but are actually anything but. So what are the scary ingredients that we want to avoid? How can we spot dodgy synthetic fragrance companies that are pretending to be natural? You'll be shocked at how many of them are out there! (Because #healthwashing.) Why would we want to consider using natural perfumes over essential oil roll-ons? Let's chat to this amazing woman and find out. Want to connect with Liz and One Seed?

Following on from last week's episode with Jody Vassallo and Farmer – The Cookbook, we are keeping a rural theme… this time focusing on something that's incredibly important – the health and wellbeing of our farmers. If ever there was a niche that was sooooo needed in Australia right now, this episode's guest has definitely found it. When I came across her work recently I was like "OMG, of course! Thank god for this human!" Meet Hayley Dawson – a naturopath who works with people living in remote and rural areas, people who don't have access to naturopathic care, and get this… she even has a program that's just for farmers! Talk about a lightbulb moment. So many of our farmers are facing crisis at the moment, which can seriously impact both their physical and mental health. And Hayley saw an opportunity to help.

| STNH 16: Jody Vassallo – Farmer The Cookbook | 04 déc. 2019 | 00:48:32 | |
This episode is soooo important if you are looking for meaningful gifts this Christmas (or if you just want to treat yourself and give back at the same time!). Jody Vassallo has some mad skills when it comes to creating healthy recipes. She's worked with everyone from Donna Hay to the Jamie Oliver franchise, and there's every chance that if you've bought a recipe book in the last 20 years, you've seen recipes that have been developed by her or styled by her. And that's not all – she is also a yoga teacher and Ayurvedic coach, so you know that her own work is always about nourishing meals and healthy, wholefood cooking. Her own cookbooks, Beautiful Food and The Yogic Kitchen, are legendary, and well worth a look. BUT… That's not even why I've invited her on the show! You know… sometimes you come across someone who is just a bloody good human. And Jody is also one of the most generous and giving people I know. When times are tough she steps it up, gathers her people and launches into action. Recently the drought in many rural areas of Australia escalated to a point where farmers were undergoing unprecedented grief and suffering. And she saw an opportunity. And so Farmer – The Cookbook was born – a fundraising effort that will honestly knock your socks off. In this show, find out what drove Jody to create this book, how she called in the big guns (um… helloooo Jamie Oliver!) and then worked tirelessly to create something really special. Something which is giving back hundreds of thousands of dollars to our farmers. Want to grab your copy of Farmer The Cookbook? You can purchase it via the usual outlets like book stores and Booktopia. And you can also order your copy through the Farmer Chuffed page here.

"Hormones are like children – they need to be attended to at all times." Today's guest is someone that I only recently discovered when watching some seminars online… but when I came across her, I was hooked! She boils the hard stuff down to make it easy, her talks are super relatable, and dare I say it, maybe even a little bit entertaining. Yep – she's my new functional medicine nerdy girl crush. She's also the Clinical Medical Director of Precision Analytical, a company that does some pretty cool functional medicine testing. So of course I did what any nerdy girl would do – I asked her to come on the show so that I can pick her brain about her zones of genius – women's hormones, adrenals, and functional testing. Yep, we're getting into the technical stuff today – so grab a pen and paper, strap yourself in, and soak up the wisdom that is Dr Carrie Jones. In this episode you will learn:

| STNH 13: Tara Nelson – Why so many thyroid disorders are going undiscovered and poorly treated | 24 sept. 2019 | 00:50:15 | |
"Every cell and tissue in the body requires thyroid hormone. So it's massive." Meet Tara Nelson, an outspoken and passionate naturopath who wants to set you straight on thyroid disorders. Tara is based in Western Australia with over 24 years of clinical experience. After many years of seeing loads of thyroid conditions in her clinic, she went into research further education in order to create better outcomes in her most complex patients. She has gone on to write a thyroid recovery program she shares online and with her patients, and she also offers a 6 week online practitioner thyroid training program which she runs twice a year to educate practitioners in thyroid health. But most of all she is on a mission to bring awareness and education to the public and practitioner community alike about the importance of thyroid health on a deeper level. "I was looking at all the pathology results, and on paper they were ok, but they still had all the symptoms… I was getting more and more of these people, and they weren't getting the help they need." In this episode, we will cover:
"You can still have thyroid autoimmune disease, such as Hashimotos or Graves, and still have a perfectly normal TSH." Want to find out more about Tara? Check out her website here.

| STNH 12: Live from the Bioceuticals Symposium – Dr Brandon Brock | 17 sept. 2019 | 00:22:53 | |
Dr. Brandon Brock is a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Chiropractor with multiple clinical interests including orthopaedics, soft tissue injuries, and functional integrative neurology.

| STNH 11: Live from the Bioceuticals Symposium – Dr Jay Lombard | 03 sept. 2019 | 00:24:27 | |
"Dr. Lombard is part Sherlock Holmes part Sigmund Freud." -Jay Walker, Founder of Ted Med Dr Jay Lombard is a forward-thinking neurologist like no other… and a trailblazer in the field of integrative neuropsychiatry. His curiosity and tenacity, combined with a heartfelt compassion for his patients, is widely respected throughout the integrative medical community. In this episode we talk about integrative medical interventions for neurodegenerative conditions like ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. "Even to this day, most of neurology is 'diagnose and adios,' meaning that we're very good as diagnosticians… but we have very few proven beneficial interventions to choose for patients who are suffering from these diseases." Dr Lombard strongly believes that there is a huge link between underlying infections in the body (especially gastrointestinal bugs like C. Difficile) and neurodegenerative diseases. These bugs are evolutionarily designed to be resistant to everything we throw at them, including the latest antibiotics, and the discussion around this is fascinating! We talk about genetic testing, the overwhelming nature of the results, and why the outcomes of these tests may cause more confusion than good. "The problem with genetic testing in general, if you don't understand how to interpret genetic information… oversimplifying a gene test result that becomes prescriptive, actually creates more noise than signal for a patient's wellbeing." Could there be something more important than genetics when it comes to neurological diseases? Tune in to find out! We also chat about the best way forward in patient care, and how practitioners from all paradigms and modalities can come together to create better outcomes. "Medications in general, particularly in psychiatry, are purely symptomatic – I mean that they're not addressing the cause of a psychiatric problem, they're basically just addressing an effect. At best, these medications only alleviate symptoms, so I think that we need to be open to what meds can do and what they can't do. And what they can cause as problems as well. Which is why we need a collaborative integration." Can I get a HELL YES?! Want to find out more about Dr Jay Lombard? Click here to go to his website. Want more of Jules?

| STNH 10: Live from the Bioceuticals Symposium – Dr Dale Bredesen | 27 août 2019 | 00:21:12 | |
"Everybody knows a cancer survivor… Nobody knows an Alzheimer's survivor." Meet Dr Dale Bredesen, an internationally-recognized expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, Dr Bredesen's career has been guided by a simple idea: that Alzheimer's as we know it is not just preventable, but reversible. Dr. Bredesen's research explores previously uncharted territory in explaining the physical mechanism behind the erosion of memory seen in Alzheimer's disease, and has opened the door to new approaches to treatment. This work has led to the identification of several new therapeutic processes that are showing remarkable early results. You can read about his findings and research into the 2017 New York Times best-seller The End of Alzheimer's. "Instead of 'alternative medicine,' I call it 'no-alternative medicine,' because when it comes to Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, there's no alternative." In this podcast, we chat about:
"What we're seeing with these patients is they don't just slow the decline, they actually improve." Tune in and find out more as we look at the cutting edge of Alzheimer's research, and come away with hope that there IS something we can all do to reduce our risk. Want more of Jules?

| STNH 9: Live from the Bioceuticals Symposium – Dr Albert Mensah | 18 août 2019 | 00:21:39 | |
First, they deny it. Then they reject it. Then they accept it. Then they claim it. "We are in a medical renaissance. In the next five years, there's going to be tremendous opposition." When interviewing guests for my podcast, there have been a couple of "pinch me" moments where I've sat down with someone who's actually a MASSIVE deal to me. Someone I've looked up to for being a trailblazer and leader in the industry. This is one such occasion. Dr Albert Mensah is the co-founder of Mensah Medical in Warrenville, IL, USA. Dr. Mensah has extensive clinical experience in biochemical imbalances, and began his career in the field at the former Pfeiffer Treatment Center under the direction of William J. Walsh, PhD, president of the non-profit Walsh Research Institute (if anyone knows me well, they'll know that I consider this institute to be the absolute leader in the world for pyroluria/pyrrole disorder). Dr. Mensah presents at conferences internationally, participates in physician training programs, and consults with health care professionals, and he currently serves as a faculty member of the Walsh Research Institute Medical Practitioner Education Program. As a physician in this specialised field since 2005, Dr. Mensah has treated over 3,000 patients with advanced targeted nutrient therapy. He serves on the board at Walsh Research Institute and serves as a clinical instructor for WRI's international doctor training programs around the world. His current practice includes the management of cognitive disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, behaviour/learning disorders, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, anxiety syndromes, childhood and adult schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's Disease as well as family medicine. But what you will hear in this interview is that Dr Mensah is so much more. He is in fact one of the most heartfelt, genuine, caring practitioners that I've ever had to joy to interview. Honestly. There were a few moments where I had goosebumps. This guy is the real deal! "A true scientist is someone who is willing to throw away their most deeply cherished belief, when presented with the appropriate data." – William Walsh In this interview we chat about:
"The mantra of traditional medicine is still hard, ingrained, from day one in medical school: Nutrients don't do anything except feed the body in a very small amount, and to treat problems you need pharmaceutical agents. From day one, week one, this is what you get." Yep, this is one powerful, tell-it-like-it-is interview, and an insight into what's possible for medicine if we all keep an open mind.

| STNH 7: Sharon Collon – ADD/ADHD and The Functional Family | 05 févr. 2019 | 00:42:31 | |
Meet Sharon Collon – she's been a naturopathic client of mine for quite some time. I've watched her go through a lot with her own health issues whilst also caring for her family. But she's been thrown a few extra challenges. You see, a couple of the members of her household have ADHD. Like any good mum, she tried everything under the sun to help her family, including the GAPS diet, wholefoods, paleo, the RPAH diet, and countless doctors and health practitioners. But what she ended up finding worked the best was developing systems and routines in her household that created calmness and eased overwhelm. "I saw the statistics that they were four times more likely to commit crime, commit suicide, end up in jail or become an addict, and there was just no way that I was going to let that happen to my beautiful little boy." So I've got her on the show to give you a different perspective on helping your anxious or sensitive kids (and maybe even your anxious and sensitive partners/husbands!). In this episode, we discuss:
This podcast will give you a new perspective on ADD/ADHD – and how to work with it, rather than battling against it. "Our aim is to bring back joy for families that are struggling under the pressures of family life."

| STNH 6: Kristy-Lee Rackham – My Holistic Nurse | 29 janv. 2019 | 01:06:38 | |
Meet Kristy-Lee Rackham – a holistic Registered Nurse based in the Noosa Shire in Queensland. She's also an Energy Coach and multi-modality practitioner who helps people get lasting relief from stress, anxiety and chronic pain without medication. Kristy-Lee's superpower is being able to talk about both science and energy medicine in equal amounts, without the two paradigms contradicting each other. I love that. "By the time I got to graduation, I was certain that the medical system wasn't set up to assist people with serious and chronic long term illness." She's been through Postnatal Depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, so she also has a first hand insight on how it feels to not only be unwell and out of balance, but to have an invisible illness that others can't see or sometimes even understand. She also comes from a corporate background as an advertising executive, so she knows what it's like to be a driven, busy, stressed out women. "I had my day job where I had this front to the world, where everything was perfect and lovely and normal, but in my private life I was self medicating with drugs and alcohol." In this episode, we discuss:
"I was being shown that there needed to be a bridge between the modern medical scientific world, and the spiritual side of life." If you're looking for a different way to approach your health and healing, tune in, open your mind, and discover a whole new world out there. Please note: There is a trigger alert with this episode as we discuss some heavy subjects like depression and suicide.

| STNH 5: Alysha Habgood – Breast Implant Illness | 22 janv. 2019 | 01:01:16 | |
Meet Alysha Habgood, a Sydney naturopath who recently had her breast implants removed due to Breast Implant Illness (BII). With thousands of breast augmentation surgeries being performed in Australia (and hundreds of thousands more around the world) each year, there is a growing concern that many of the implants are becoming toxic. Thousands of women are reporting autoimmune-like symptoms, including joint pain, inflammation, thyroid issues, hormonal imbalances, and debilitating fatigue. Meanwhile, some medical practitioners (and breast implant producers) are holding fast and saying that these issues are NOT caused by the implants… but that tide is turning. Listen to Alysha's story and decide for yourself. "Four months after surgery I started to experience some symptoms… and the worst one was chronic fatigue." In this podcast, we chat about:
"As of yet, I have not come across a single woman with breast implant illness, who took their implants out and didn't see some improvement." Want to connect with Alysha?

| SHY 72: Scott Gooding and Neera Scott – Change your mindset, change your life | 01 août 2018 | 00:39:35 | |
Changing our habits – have we been doing it all wrong? What if, instead about trying to force ourselves to adopt a new diet, a new lifestyle, or a new fitness regime, we simply just observed what was there in our minds, without judgement? This podcast deals with the crucial first step that many of us have missed… and that's mindfulness. And… in this episode, you get a 2-for-1 deal… 2 guests that is. You may remember Scott Gooding from Episode 60, where we talked about making real food simple, fun, sexy and affordable. He's a passionate real food cook, a former MKR finalist, and an all round top bloke. He's just brought out a new health program that doesn't just focus on diet and exercise (although they're a big part of it), but he's also included modules on super important topics like mindset, motivation and psychology. Neera Scott is also involved in this program as Scott's mindfulness mentor. She is a passionate yoga teacher, meditation instructor, and her superpower is taking Eastern philosophy concepts and making it translatable to corporate clients in big cities. She also teaches people how to deal with the daunting feelings that arise as they face being outside their comfort zone. In this episode, we also tackle some very important questions: Why do we fall back into self-sabotage? How do we create momentum to reach our health goals? What tools can we use to keep ourselves on track? How do we deal with feelings of low self esteem, and stop being hard on ourselves? We also talk about the importance of taking personal responsibility for our wellbeing, like cooking at home, rather than ordering in. "Everytime you outsource food thru Deliveroo… you're relinquishing control of your own health." There's also a lot in this episode about the difference between making a change, and developing a whole new way of living. Because we can all make changes, but it's making those changes long term that's the key to success. "You are the custodian of your own health." If you're ready to adopt a new, healthy habit, shake up your lifestyle, and give it your all this time (no more yo-yo-ing around!), this podcast is for YOU. Want to connect with Scott and Neera? You'll find Scott Gooding here. And his brand new program, Reconditioned Me, is here. And you can connect with Neera on LinkedIn here and at her website here. NEW… Adrenal Health Check Quiz!

| SHY 71: Maz Compton – On going sober in a party hard world | 17 juil. 2018 | 00:48:46 | |
Today's guest has worn several awesome hats in her life. You may know her from her days as an entertainment reporter and VJ for MTV. Or you may recognise her voice from her time on 2Day FM as a breakfast show presenter. But there's more to this woman than meets the eye. Her most recent achievement, a book with the title The Social Rebellion, takes you through her struggle with alcohol and the way she changed her relationship with drinking. No mean feat when you think about the industry she worked in! Listen as we delve into:
"It is complete insanity for someone else to have an issue with something that you're dong to benefit your life, physiology and mental health." Whether you party hard, or whether you just need some help to free yourself from that wine-on-the-couch-every-night habit… or maybe your vice is something else entirely (like sugar), there is so much wisdom in this interview for YOU. "Rebellion is doing the thing that no one else is doing. So when everyone at the pub is drinking, guess who the rebel is – the person sitting in the corner with a soda water… and their pants on." Maz's new book, The Social Rebellion is out now through all good bookstores. Want to connect with Maz? You can follow The Social Rebellion on Instagram here. Connect with her on Facebook here.
