| Why Horses Are the Ultimate Nervous System Regulators | 28 Nov 2025 | 01:17:14 | |
In this deeply moving and eye-opening episode of the Biohackher Podcast, Azra sits down with Australia's pioneering wellness leader and equine-assisted learning practitioner, Sharon Kolkka, to explore the powerful, science-backed ways horses help humans heal. Sharon unpacks why horses — as prey animals with extraordinary energetic sensitivity — can read our nervous systems more accurately than we can. You'll hear how they sense our cortisol, mirror our emotional truth, and gently guide us out of stress, anxiety, burnout, trauma patterns and the "doing" brain… and back into regulation, presence and self-connection. Together, Azra and Sharon dive into:
This episode is filled with raw stories, science, soulful wisdom and moments that will stay with you long after you finish listening. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, disconnected from your body — or simply curious about the magic of horses — this conversation will change the way you see healing. A gentle warning: Parts of this episode may bring tears (of recognition, release and relief). And you may walk away wanting to hug a horse. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Equine Therapy

| How to master your hormones to stay slim and sexy after 40 | 17 Oct 2024 | 01:10:55 | |
In this episode, I chat to Dr Anna Cabeca, aka the Girlfriend Doctor, on how a woman's body changes after 40, particularly during perimenopause and menopause and what she can do to stay slim and sexy. Dr Anna explains the importance of understanding how our hormones impact these changes and the simple, often easy steps you can take to keep that dreaded menopause belly at bay! She explains how these changes affect weight management, brain function, and overall health. The discussion covers the importance of nutrition, the role of intermittent fasting, and the impact of lifestyle choices, including alcohol consumption, on hormonal balance. Dr Anna emphasizes the need for individualised approaches to health and wellness, particularly in managing menopausal symptoms and maintaining a healthy weight. We discuss the critical role of hormones in women's health, particularly focusing on estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. She emphasizes the impact of toxicity on hormonal balance and overall health, advocating for lifestyle changes, nutritional support, and the use of bioidentical hormones. The discussion also covers the importance of exercise, particularly weight-bearing and flexibility exercises, as well as the significance of oxytocin in promoting well-being and longevity. Dr Anna Cabeca, DO, OBGYN, FACOG, is the best selling author of The Hormone Fix and Keto-Green 16 and MenuPause. Dr Anna is triple-board certified and a fellow of gynecology and obstetrics, integrative medicine, and anti-ageing and regenerative medicine. She holds special certifications in functional medicine, sexual health, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. She lectures frequently on those topics and shares the secret behind the ebb and flow of intimacy as she demystifies the fascinating hormonal changes over time. She will help you discover how the "love hormone", Oxytocin can breathe life into your relationship, and how Cortisol can take it away - and how the delicate balancing act of those hormones can reignite your libido and support a healthy relationship, most importantly the one you have with yourself. She is sassy, blunt, speaks from the heart and has a wonderful sense of humor! She has personally developed natural products to help women balance hormones and thrive through menopause including the highly acclaimed Julva® cream for the vulva and MightyMaca® Plus, a powerful superfood blend. She lives in Dallas with her daughters, horses and dogs.

| The Longevity Revolution with Professor Nir Barzilai | 24 Apr 2024 | 00:46:06 | |
It's great to be back for Season 2 of the Biohackher Podcast! I have a great line-up of guests this season for you, and first up is Professor Nir Barzilai. Professor Nir presented at the Unlock Healthy Longevity Conference at the National University of Singapore in March, and when I heard him speak I knew I had to have him on the pod to share more broadly the work he is doing in spearheading the campaign to lobby the FDA to approve drugs targeted at treating ageing. Professor Barzilai holds the distinguished positions of Director of the Institute for Ageing Research, Director of the Nathan Shock Center of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Ageing, and the Ingeborg and Ira Leon Rennert Chair of Aging Research. His groundbreaking work has led to the discovery of the first "longevity gene" in humans, providing a genetic key to understanding healthy aging and extreme longevity. This discovery has paved the way for the development of treatments for age-related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, currently being tested in clinical trials. In addition to his research on longevity genes, Professor Barzilai's work encompasses studying the biological mechanisms of aging, including the role of nutrients and genetics in lifespan, and investigating the declines in physical and mental capacity associated with aging. He serves as a Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology) and of Genetics, contributing significantly to our understanding of how these factors affect longevity. Professor Barzilai's contributions to science and medicine are widely recognised. He has been honored with numerous prestigious awards, including the Beeson Fellow for Ageing Research, the Ellison Medical Foundation Senior Scholar in Ageing Award, and the Paul F. Glenn Foundation Award, among others. His leadership extends beyond research, as he spearheads international efforts to approve drugs targeting aging. A key initiative, Targeting Agieng with METformin (TAME), aims to demonstrate that aging-related multi-morbidities can be delayed, potentially revolutionising how we approach aging and its associated diseases. Beyond his scientific achievements, Professor Barzilai's life is marked by remarkable experiences, including serving as chief medic and physician in the Israel Defense Forces, and his humanitarian work in Cambodia and with the Zulu in South Africa. In exciting recent news, Professor Nir Barzilai has been named president of the Academy for Health and Lifespan Research.

| Living well with MS with Rhea Fawole | 08 May 2023 | 00:56:46 | |
Living with an auto immune condition isn't easy. It impacts not just your body, mind, and spirit but your whole life. Today Rhea Fawole joins host Azra Alagic to chat about living well with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Rhea Fawole is the CEO & Founder of SOLVi Migration – an Immigration Law headquartered on the Gold Coast. Her passion to create SOLVi Migration came from 12 years of working in senior roles at the Australian Immigration Department, and seeing the challenges faced migrating to Australia. When Rhea was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2010 at the age of 32, she felt grief for the life she thought was all but over as she learned to navigate changes in her body, mind and spirit. But like the Phoenix that she is, she has risen to self-educate, embrace, and thrive living with this condition. Rhea discusses:
To ensure she managed her health well, Rhea has built a remote legal practice that operates four days per week; a successful operating model she says never would have been borne without her learning how to balance a rewarding career with a chronic health condition. Her vision for SOLVi is to make navigating the migration process to Australia more fun and simple for clients, and the benefit of her remote 4-day structure means that she has been able to attract a team who all value being able to work to help businesses and overseas workers plan their migration pathway to Australia, and have the space to prioritise their own health and wellbeing too.

| The Midlife Reset: Hormones, Health and Hope with Dr. Ceri Cashell | 28 Sep 2025 | 01:08:14 | |
Menopause has been surrounded by misinformation for decades — and too many women, myself included, have been left to suffer in silence. That's why I invited Dr. Ceri Cashell onto the Biohackher Podcast. Ceri is not only a physician but also a passionate advocate for women's health, and in this conversation we go deep into the truths about hormones, ageing, and what women really need in midlife. We unpack the flawed study that scared a generation of women away from hormone therapy, and explore why body identical hormones are not only safe but essential for protecting our hearts, bones, brains, and overall wellbeing. We also dive into the symptoms of perimenopause that no one warns you about — from anxiety and insomnia to vaginal dryness and brain fog — and how lifestyle shifts plus the right hormone support can be absolute game changers. This episode is full of empowering insights, practical takeaways, and the kind of real talk we need to reclaim our health and our power as women. In This Episode, You'll Hear Us Talk About:
If you're in perimenopause, menopause, or simply curious about how hormones impact women's health and longevity, this is an episode you don't want to miss. 📌 Episode Chapters00:00 – Welcome & Introduction 01:00 – The Misinformation Era 07:00 – Hormones & Breast Cancer: The Truth 12:00 – Body Identical vs. Synthetic Hormones 18:00 – Why Breast Cancer Risk Increases with Age 20:00 – Putting Menopause on the Big Stage 24:00 – Symptoms of Perimenopause 30:00 – What Best Practice Looks Like 38:00 – How Long Should You Stay on HRT? 42:00 – Hormones & Longevity 44:00 – The Weight Gain Struggle 48:00 – Sleep, Snoring & Mouth Taping 50:00 – Why Sleep is Everything 53:00 – Vaginal Health & UTIs 57:00 – Libido & Intimacy 1:02:00 – Brain Fog & Cognitive Function 1:05:00 – Ceri's Longevity Vision 1:07:00 – Closing Thoughts & Next Steps Final reflections, gratitude. ABOUT DR CERI CASHELL Dr Ceri Cashell is a GP, published medical writer, researcher and outspoken advocate for women's health equity. She originally trained as a physician before pivoting to primary care, combining the depth of internal medicine with the breadth of whole-person care. Dr Ceri is the co-founder of Healthy Hormones, Australia's largest online menopause education platform, and one of the creators of the sold-out So Hot Right Now series, including events at the Sydney Opera House and a national medical conference. Her mission is to expose the mis-medicine that has left the majority of women misdiagnosed, mistreated and dismissed, and to replace it with evidence-based, hormone-literate and personalised care that works. She is known for blending science, systems thinking, and a no-nonsense dose of feminist fire, helping women and clinicians alike understand the power of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone across the life cycle. Her work has been featured in national media and the Australian Senate Inquiry, and she remains unapologetically focused on one thing: getting women the medicine they were never given, and the power they've always had.

| How epigenetics and the lifestyle choices you make impact your health | 24 May 2025 | 00:51:16 | |
Can you actually change your genes? Spoiler: yes, you can. Most of us grow up thinking our genes are like our eye colour — unchangeable, fixed, and totally out of our hands. But today's guest on the Biohackher Podcast, Chris Barnes, is here to flip that script. Chris isn't your average health expert — he's a Epigenetic Health Strategist, keynote speaker, and total brain when it comes to DNA-driven wellness, peak performance, and longevity. He's on a mission to help high-achieving women (and men!) ditch burnout and unlock next-level energy and vitality using personalised, science-backed genetic strategies. Chris's passion is deeply personal. After losing his dad at just 65, he realised the one thing most entrepreneurs and go-getters neglect is... their health. And he's not letting anyone else go down that road without a fight. In this episode, we dive into the wild world of epigenetics — basically, how your lifestyle, environment, and nutrition can actually influence how your genes behave. It's next-level biohacking, and yes, it's especially relevant for women. 🔥 We unpack:
