Straight Talking Natural Health – Détails, épisodes et analyse

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:

• Fatigue
• Feeling the cold easily
• Dry skin
• Weight gain
• Constipation
• Puffiness
• Joint pain
• Muscle pain/weakness
• Hair loss
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Brain fog
• Memory issues
• Difficulty finding words
• Heavy periods

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.

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:

• How the pandemic has affected fertility and IVF treatment.
• The effects of stress on reproductive health.
• How to address anxiety during IVF.
• The effect that Covid infection is having on male fertility (don't miss this – it's actually kinda scary!).
• Why sperm count rates have halved in the last 40 years.
• The different types of semen analysis (and why you want a high quality one).
• Supplements to support male fertility.
• Rhiannon's favourite immune boosting herb that you can take alongside IVF treatment.

The post STNH 38: Rhiannon Hardingham – Fertility in a post Covid world appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

This week's guest is a nutritionist, author, passionate speaker and now filmmaker, with her recent documentary "What's with Wheat" going totally gangbusters.

Cyndi O'Meara has done the hard yards, collating the research, studying the effects that pesticides and chemicals have on our bodies… and it's time to reveal the dirty truth. She is on a mission to create a "tsunami of change" and definitely pulls no punches!

In this episode, Cyndi will give you tools to create a healthier community and provide safer food options for the generations to come. Listen and become motivated to create small step after small step, towards a vibrant, chemical free life where we can all flourish.

Be blown away by Cyndi's backstory, where she reveals her motivation for decades of research and campaigning (hint: her family weren't the healthiest bunch!). Listen to her story of her transition from nutritionist to farmer, and how she manifested her dream to grow organic produce.

Find out the truth about glyphosate ("Round Up"), and it's far-reaching effects on the environment, our health and our biochemistry.

We also chat about getting past the overwhelm, and how to make changes from a mindset of awareness rather than fear.

If you want to leave this world (and our food industry!) in a better state for your children and your grandchildren, listen to this episode. If you ever wondered why you should spend the extra bucks on organic food, this podcast is a must.

As Cyndi says "We can't depend on our governments. we have to do it ourselves."

Strap yourself in – it's time to level up (don't worry – you're in good hands!). This is one episode of Shiny Healthy You that no health-conscious person can afford to miss.

Meet Cinzia Cozzolino, aka Nutrition Darling – a qualified nutritionist and healthy food entrepreneur.

Growing up in an Italian family, she has real food and home-style cooking etched into her DNA. But after living the rock n' roll lifestyle for many years, Cinzia had an awakening when it came to her health. She did a complete 180 and went off to study nutrition as a single mum at age 39 (wow!).

After graduating and working in private practice at a gym, she was again drawn back to the kitchen, where she found her happy place making delicious healthy food for the masses.

Cinzia brings a wealth of experience and wisdom to the table in this chat.

Find out her hot tips for raising healthy kids and navigating the (often rebellious and experimental!) teenage years.

Listen to her "no stress" philosophy and traditional outlook when it comes to real food culture.

Get her take on food fads, superfoods and extreme diets.

Cinzia also has an exciting new product out (that's been years in development!) called Smoothie Bombs. It's going to revolutionise the way you make your healthy breakfast smoothie – it's totally awesome!

This week I chat with one of the trailblazers in the health blogging world – Alice Nicholls from The Whole Daily. Although she's a beacon of light in the wellness industry, she wasn't always this healthy and happy. She's battled some pretty dark demons, but has come out the other side stronger, focused and determined to help others live their best possible lives.

Find out Alice's views on busy lifestyles and the effect they have on our health. Learn tips and tricks for self-care and mindfulness, even when you think you don't have time. We then jump further down the rabbit hole and deep dive into the connection between stress, anger and disease.

We talk about chronic illness, pain, and the long road back to wellness through changing your mindset. We also delve into the challenges and frustrations of dealing with family members who are ill, and what to do when they won't follow what you think is best for them (ah… don't we all have one of these people in our lives???).

If you're struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions or overwhelm, listen to this episode for some simple takeaways to help you on your road back to health and clarity.

This is one strong, conscious lady with a beautiful, pragmatic attitude – you're gonna love where this conversation goes!

Meet Guy Lawrence. He owns a biz called 180 Nutrition, which makes great quality supplements for the fitness industry.

Coming from a world where low calorie and low fat philosophies reigned supreme, he sought out his own truth very early on, using approaches that were considered "outside the box."

Listen to his story of a life-changing moment where his interactions with cancer patients created a complete shift in mindset.

Discover his frustrations with the fitness industry and why he believes the mainstream has it all wrong.

My favourite quote: "Our fitness industry is NOT based on health." Whoa!

His approach is unique:

Question everything.
Assume nothing.
Focus on gratitude.
Turn your TV around to face the wall.

In this interview, we cover:

How you can lose weight by eating more.
Why weight training is for EVERYONE.
How nutrition can help heal the gut.

And he includes his top tips when it comes to living your best and healthiest life.

With so many amazing takeaways the whole way through this chat, I urge you to listen till the very end.

The post SHY 15: Guy Lawrence (180 Nutrition) – on dieting, weight loss, and what's wrong with the fitness industry appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

Meet Linda Ellis (aka Lunch Lady Lou) – she is singlehandedly attempting to change the way that office workers do lunch in Sydney.

Although she grew up in a household that cooked meals from scratch, she didn't develop an interest in food until much later. After a stint working in a busy office, she discovered her new tag "The Healthy Salad Maker" and the rest just grew from there.

Having left the busy corporate world behind, she now delivers healthy lunches throughout the Sydney CBD, to a cult following of hungry workers.

But like any of my Shiny Healthy You guests, there's more to this story than just a yarn about healthy food. Listen to Lou as she chats about her run in with cancer, and the change in her mindset that ensued (and the weird and wonderful speed bumps along the way!).

Listen to her recount how she drew on her overseas trips for food inspiration, and the shift in perspective that came from comparing other food cultures to our own.

If you love to "nerd out" on food, hit play, sit back and enjoy!

Some of the quotes throughout this episode are pure GOLD!

"Eat this, it's full of flavour, it's made with love, and gonna make you smile."
"I just believe everyone should cook with love."
"You will feel like sunshine is coming out of you."
"Don't beat yourself up if you don't like kale."

YAY!!!

If you want to feel inspired about healthy, nutrient-rich food, this is your go-to girl!
