Gut health affects everything. Yep, everything.

And it all starts with balance — balance in your microbiome, balance in your diet, and balance in how you approach probiotics.

This week, gut expert William Dickinson is back with Clare to dive deep into the fascinating world of the microbiome and how probiotics play a huge role in maintaining that balance. But here's the catch: not all probiotics are created equal.

In Part 2 of this enlightening conversation, William breaks down the differences between colonising and non-colonizing probiotics (don’t worry, we’ll explain!), and why you should start with Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium for the best results. He also shares why you should prioritise diverse, whole foods over supplements to support your gut long-term.

✨ **LISTEN NOW** ✨

Learn why food diversity and prebiotics are just as important as the probiotics you choose, and how to create a balanced gut ecosystem that supports everything from digestion to your mood.

Feeling overwhelmed by all the probiotic options out there? No worries. This episode gives you the tools to make the right choices and reclaim control over your gut health.

When it comes to your health, do you ever feel like your body is speaking a language you just don’t understand?

Well, what if your symptoms were simply your body’s way of trying to get your attention?

In this episode, gut health, detox, and trauma specialist **William Dickinson** joins Clare Temple to help us all learn how to “listen” to our bodies better.

And trust me, William knows what it’s like to go through it — from being bedridden and needing full-time care to taking back control of his health.

William’s story is one of transformation and healing. He dives into how he learned to decode his body’s signals and explains the deep connection between gut health, the liver, and overall well-being (especially during menopause!). Spoiler: it’s all connected.

If you’ve ever wondered what your body is trying to say to you, this episode is for you.

✨ **LISTEN NOW** ✨

You’ll discover how your liver might be overworked and what you can do to ease its load, how gut health and liver function go hand in hand, and why supporting your body’s natural processes is key to feeling like your best self.

Because understanding what’s happening inside can change everything on the outside.

Here is the Season 1 deep dive into William's amazing personal healing story.

Blood sugar balance is a juicy topic with tons of opportunity for having a better peri / menopause when you understand it and understand what's right for you.

Check out Health Crash Radio's latest episode

Yes we want to manage our weight, energy, mental alertness, sleep and craziness in peri/menopause.

So should we just eat less and less and exercise more and more?

In a word - NO! Find out what role food plays and before you go and try a new supplement - listen to Clare unpack the things you need to know...

Not ready for Perimenopause Yet?

Clare Temple discusses the complexities of perimenopause and menopause, emphasising the importance of self-calibration and prioritising one's health during this stage.

She encourages women to embrace this transition as an opportunity for self-discovery and self-confidence, rather than viewing it as a negative aspect of aging.

The importance of prioritising self-care to avoid burnout and ensure a successful journey in life. By taking care of oneself like a boal, individuals can navigate life's challenges and achieve a balance between striving for success and self-care.

• Perimenopause often goes unacknowledged or misdiagnosed, leading to frustration with medical solutions like HRT.
• Perimenopause hormone changes cause varying symptoms due to unpredictable hormone levels.
• Is the concept of aging negative or better seen as a transformation.

• Ageing brings freedom to be true self but we can have the sense that we are running out of time to be achieve what we need to.
• The importance of having the skill of listening to your body's needs amid hormonal changes.
• Confusing menopause advice overwhelms with conflicting views.

• Clare compares perimenopause and menopause to a boat crossing, emphasising the importance of preparation and relationship with one's body.
• Clare suggests that by taking care of and attending to our bodies, we can have a smoother transition and better quality of life during menopause.

• Early action can lead to better health outcomes in post-menopause, according to Temple.

As you move along in your journey of 'coming to BE' aka Becoming, your unconscious mind can get in the way of your efforts to find and take your next step.

Find out what the most valuable ingredient is that allows your psyche to shift into it's next mode of being.

Blindly forcing it will never work as it often creates the opposite effect.  

Awareness is the only way to shine a light on the protection that your body is unconsciously offering you.

Ready to shift into your next mode of being? I'm excited for you.....

Do you have the habit of overthinking??

Going round and round, giving yourself a headache, worrying and ultimately delaying action, getting frustrated and feeling stuck instead of moving forwards?

Overthinking can be a curse when we are mentally strong and like to think, deliberate and avoid making mistakes.

Having a pattern of thinking way too much is a root cause of procrastination and delaying getting on with stuff which inevitably causes self-frustration and we can often be (needlessly) really hard on ourselves about it.

In this episode we contemplate how you can switch from overthinking to being much more informed by your body.

And walks you through how else you can lead yourself through challenges and decisions in life and business, to help you have more freedom, and take more aligned action.

As a Woman, a Person, a Practitioner, an Entrepreneur - becoming is a pathway to greater satisfaction with your life and your work.

We can often feel limited, bound.

Here we explore what limits there really are.

What and who you really are.

And what is possible for you and your experience of the magical journey of life.

Do you want more energy, creativity, feeling and sensing more, instead of feeling like you are on a treadmill and life is just dry responsibility and hard work?

Find out what the power of the feminine can do for you!

On the way to being driven to achieve something we can often pick up misleading ideas.

One of these ideas for me was that I needed to be special in order to matter.

This is one example of what I call Gremlins - The inner thoughts that can play on repeat and ultimately hold us back.

I spent a good amount of time trying to prove myself and always seeking validation from outside of myself, visiting burnout and suffering with health problems as a result.

When I talk about 'Becoming Exceptional' - are you attracted or triggered???

Here's why you ARE exceptional and it has NOTHING to do with being good enough!

So much of how we suffer physically, mentally, and emotionally comes from our past experiences and traumas.

Learning ways to free ourselves from these old wounds is an essential part of our healing journey.

Join me as I chat with the lovely Jane Keogh, Personal Development Coach.

In this episode we cover:

🤯 How trauma is often misunderstood

🤯 What 'Havening' is and the science behind how it works

🤯 The connection between physical symptoms and emotional root causes

🤯 How to have a massive impact on the quality of our life

🤯 The importance of being able to feel our feelings

🤯 How we have learned to distract ourselves from feeling throughout our lives, and how to unlearn this
