I love the world of alternative health because there are so many different perspective on the human body and the depth of understanding that some of these ancient modalities have is often shocking. Upon realising that, of course, hundreds and thousands of years of practice amasses quite the pile of evidence based practice! However, somatic therapy was totally new to me so I hope you learn a couple of things today as well. In This Episode We Cover What is Somatic Therapy How the relationship betw...

In Functional Medicine and Natural Health it is widely accepted that all your body systems are connected, and, that a change in one shows up in multiple other systems. Your thyroid is one of those glands that contributes to the normal function of many of your bodily systems and when something goes wrong.. you can be up shit creek without a paddle. More like though is that you'll be mishandled and poorly treated by western medicine and have to take heavy medication your entire life. In this episo...

It seems like a trick question right... Is Sugar Really That Bad? You might be thinking, well of course.. but what is worse is fat gain, insulin resistance and diabetes and it all starts with our diet. Now carbs and sugar aren't inherently bad but the way we engage with them isn't really doing us any favours so this episode is purposefully designed to give you the understanding of what your body may or is experiencing each time you eat. What I Cover In This Episode: Why Sugar And Carbs Cause Ins...

They used to say that Marijuana was the gateway and now all over the globe it is legal in many countries. They also said for about 60 odd years that fat was bad all whilst they filled our "Low fat" products with sugar to fill the flavour gap.. and now we have a world of fat, sick and nearly dead people. Sadly this is our reality but guests like Mike on today's episode that you can actually break the addiction. Yes, addiction.. Mike found after recovering from a drug addiction that sugar is in fa...

Medical jargon is almost the norm from most media outlets these days. Everyone seems to be flexing their medical knowledge all over town which is great, but what does it actually mean? Co-morbidity is one of those terms which has consistently been used and consistently asked about by many of you that follow the podcast and I've been asked to talk about what this word means in the context of your own individual life and health journey. So, here it is! In This Episode I Cover: What a co-morbidity ...

What is your go-to after a hard day? Cookies? Chocolate? Ice-cream?... either way it is something sweet, right? Well, you're not alone. It is very much a human thing to move towards some type of substance that suppresses or eliminates our negative experience and whilst heroine is a little extreme for most people, sugar often serves the function enough for us to be able to completely check out of the uncomfortable feelings that we're trying to avoid feeling. Dare I say it... uncomfortable emotion...

If you're a bit unsure about whether or not Intermittent Fasting is the right move for you then jump on this episode and see if I touch on anything that resonates with you because you might be surprised to learn that I.F actually helps a lot more than just the size of your stomach. Remember, the systems of the body are all intricately linked and what we do with one affects the other which is why all 5 of these benefits that I go through in detail are all related to one another and a surprising n...

Human evolution has been a reallllllly long grind for us to get to the point where we are actually facilitating our own extinction by living the life of luxury, free of the stresses of nature that turn genes on and off. We've become so smart that we can now eliminate these stresses, which sounds like it would make life better but science is showing us that without the struggle, our genes just don't do what they should... you have to provoke them through the struggle of life and without the natur...

It is Eating Disorder Week so I thought it would be fitting to get food psychologist Steph Georgiou back on the show. She has done a heap of stuff since we last hung out on episode 14 and in this episode we go deep on how to reconnect with your food and the physical and mental stimulus that occurs when you're eating, experiences that we are almost totally oblivious to our food because we are on our phone, or at our desk, or doing whatever it is that is not focusing on what we are eating. In This...

Did you know that your postcode is more important than your genetic code? I can already see your eyes rolling back into your head thinking... is this guy legit or what? There are some shocking truths about the tribes that we identify with and move through life adjoined to. I guess the most empowering thing is that, these are social factors, so they're 100% in your control to change.

How long do you spend asleep each night? Is it ever... too long... HA! Said no one ever, right? The interesting thing about sleep is that having less actually ruins your life, virtually every area and that is why we need to use all the tools we can to repair the damage we have already made to our sleep and wake cycles that mother nature put together quite delicately for us, and we've responded by quite literally taking a dump on that 8 hour nonsense. In This Episode I Cover: The major diseases t...

We eat 2 to 6 times of every single day.. and when we go to the doctor out diet is never addressed and interestingly, the person across the desk from us actually knows nothing about it which we have been lead to believe doesn't matter because medical doctors would learn diet if it was important! That is unfortunately very, very wrong and that is just one of the elements of The System that we discuss on this episode that covers so many topics and it really is a banger that I know you'll love!

I get asked all the time..."What is the best diet for me?", or... should I eat this, or why shouldn't I eat this and these questions consume virtually every social outing that I attend, and well.. no one likes THAT guy at the party right? But I really do get asked a lot of questions about food and nutrition because most people, and maybe you too, are just super confused with diet and nutrition and have no idea how to find the perfect diet... for you! And so to stop ruining my social outings, I d...

The interesting thing about the body is that no matter how surface level our thoughts are about what is going on, or, what we want to change so it looks or feels better, you can virtually guarantee that it runs deep and that the cause is contributed to by an unknown number of factors and that solving it is often... tricky, even for practitioners. HOWEVER, one thing that many, many issues have in common is hormonal involvement, dysregulation or imbalance and if you can regulate those through diet...

If you're unable to keep up with the pace of your very own life then guess what... you are.. a human. Well done. I can completely relate to running myself in to the ground time and time again and just wanting some type of access to the very next level. In fact I had such a crack at doing so that I had a sleep deprived and stress created seizure that I was virtually revived from - so I get ya! This is a big part of why I do what I do.. energy levels and learning how to manage and optimise them ar...

It's almost Christmas and the new year is always an exciting and transformative time for your health and wellness because it is when we find a new found motivation to make some serious changes. One thing I really like to encourage is the usage of functional medicine to solve both simple and complex health conditions and particularly chronic issues as western medicine seems to lack in dealing with the real fundamental issues that cause poor health and so before 2020 arrives I wanted to illustrate...

What the hell is going on with this dietary Fat conversation? Today's guest certainly believes he has the right angle on it which is that all the nonsense that was called out as being wrong (all the botched fat research from back in the 50s and 60s) is actually NOT wrong and therefore concludes, as you'll hear that saturated fat is as bad as the low fat movement made it out to be - catastrophically bad! I didn't pipe up on this episode as much as I expected after hearing it back during editing, ...
