Cook Eat Nourish Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

  054 - Posture Fitting with Siobhan O'Donovan AKA The Booby Physio     Siobhán O’Donovan (aka The Booby Physio!) Chartered Physiotherapist Creator and founder of the PostureFitting physiotherapy service, PostureFitting Partnership, & GALS against GRAVITY workshops.   If you had asked Siobhán 10 years ago what she would be doing in 2024, she wouldn’t have predicted being surrounded by all things breasts and bras! But here she indeed is, on a mission to raise awareness of, and demonstrate her solution for, the very underestimated impact of breast weight on women and girls.    A chartered physio with a Master’s degree in the Prevention and Management of Sport Injury, Siobhán has always been a solution-seeker. With over 30 years of clinical experience working with patients to prevent, treat, rehab and deter problems, she developed PostureFitting, a physiotherapy service which connects breast weight and support with posture. The resultant effects on her patients in feeling, moving, looking better were too good to keep a secret, and she now trains other therapists to offer the PostureFitting service.   Their mutual goal is to educate, empower & enlighten, in all ways, so that more gals win their daily battle against gravity, while busting breast & bra booby traps! 👙   Siobhan's top 3 tips:  1. To quote a fellow physio, do your own "Mesearch" - know your body so you know when things are changing and you need to do something proactively to manage that change, whatever it may be.   2.  Ask questions of reliable sources - the only stupid question really is the one you don't ask - but be mindful of those proclaiming recommendations without having the weight of information on consequences behind them. Make an informed choice for yourself rather than follow someone else's actions without due consideration.   3. Movement really is the best medicine of all. You deserve to feel well so make room so that your wellness is as much of a priority as the other priorities in your life.   Website: https://www.posturefittingphysio.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/posture.fitting/     ABOUT THE HOST - Fiona Staunton

041 - Food first for your health with Susan Horgan

 

In today's episode, we talked about food, for the brain, our gut, and our lifestyle.

Note, re salmon, it is a good source of omega 3 (I had a brain fog moment and was thinking of tunafish - which is lower in omega 3!!)

About Susan: I'm a Nutritional Therapist specialising in women's health, especially for busy women over 35, and I have a particular passion for all things perimenopause and menopause. My goal is to help women understand that eating healthier doesn't have to be stressful, restrictive or mean cooking multiple meals for the family. Simple ways to pack everyday meals full of goodness is a key element of everything I do.

Susan’s top 3 tips to improve your health are:

1. Keep things simple - focus on building habits step by step rather than changing everything at once

2. Love your gut - lots of fibre-rich veggies and fermented foods

3. Include some protein in every meal and snack

038 - Live milk Kefir to support your gut health from kerry Kefir with Mary-Thea Brosnan 

 At Kerry Kefir, we produce an authentic live milk kefir, a natural probiotic packed full of beneficial bacteria and yeast to support gut health naturally. Unlike Actimel, Yakult and supermarket/commercial kefirs, we use the living organisms i.e., kefir grains to ferment our milk. This produces a powerful milk kefir that has more diversity and therefore benefits for your digestive function, immune support and overall gut health.

Mary-Theas top 3 tips to improve your health are:

1.    Learn to read the ingredients on the products you buy- avoid anything that has a long complicated list of ingredients, including emulsifiers and gums as they have been shown to be bad for gut health

2.    Incorporate fermented foods into your diet every day. Kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, yoghurt (natural live yoghurt). Small amounts on a daily basis is better for your long-term gut health goals than large amounts infrequently

3.    Vary your fruits and veggies- every time you eat a different fruit or veg you are feeding a different type of bacteria- this is what will help your gut bacteria to grow and thrive and really affect your gut health

 

1. Research from Stanford University shows a diet high in fermented foods improves microbiome diversity, reduced inflammation and improves immune responses https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2021/07/fermented-food-diet-increases-microbiome-diversity-lowers-inflammation
2. .Research from APC Microbiome Ireland (Prof. Ted Dinan) shows how a diet high in fermented foods and prebiotic foods can improve stress and stress-related diseases https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-022-01817-y
