It’s that time of year - New Year’s Resolutions are a thing and the data seems to suggest that the most common resolution, the world over, is weight loss. My initial thought was that I want to put an episode together that means you aren’t looking for the same thing next year because it is usually the same people that make the same resolutions and get the same disappointing and disappearing results with their weight. After you listen to this episode you’ll be 7 steps closer to sustainable weight ...

Despite not having a single shred of Christmas anything in my apartment this is in fact the Christmas episode. Last year’s Christmas episode was about how to optimise gut health and not feel like a walrus, episode 56 - check it out. After the year we have had I decided this episode needed to be more about managing our emotions and how we feel about the experiences that we are going to have over the coming weeks and in this episode, you get to set yourself for doing what makes you happy instead o...

Although it feels like last Christmas was about 5 years ago we are in fact gearing up for another one. With the lockdowns leading to excessive consumption of unideal food, loads more Uber Eats and a forced sedentary lifestyle, I wanted to get someone onto this episode to talk about how to make Christmas a littler healthier than usual. No, we aren’t just making it a Kale Smoothie Krissie… but there are a few things you can do that will reduce the toxic load on your body that flavour wise, you won...

Is the world happening for you or is it happening to you? It’s a deep question and one that may take some time to answer but whilst you’re dwelling on that today’s episode might be worth a listen as we talk about the relationship between stress and disease and how emotional trauma that you have experienced in your life is essentially the software that is running your life. The great thing is that we go beyond awareness and provide so real tools as to how one can begin dissecting the horrors of t...

Do you think of eczema as “just” a skin rash and that it isn’t that bad? It’s a common viewpoint given the skin doesn’t do what many deem a crucial function each day in the way your bicep might or your knee might, or even your brain might. However, the skin is the body's largest organ and it does in fact serve a crucial function, in fact many, and it is intrinsically connected to everything of which it houses… the gut, the kidney, the intestines, the lungs… It is all connected and today’s episod...

Does everyone have trauma? What constitutes trauma? It’s a complex topic and arguably one that pulls on the heart strings of all of us given that we’ve mostly been either victim to someone else's or tragically experienced our own and the impact runs deep. However, it’s often something we mistakenly think happens in a world of its own without being connected to our body or the lifestyle we choose to live, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The trauma we experiences has significant impac...

Is there a proper way to move? Walk, run, jump, sit? Ergonomics would suggest that there is a perfect position to be in at all times and that if we all did that we’d be totally safe. However, injuries happen every single day to all types of humans: athletes, children, elderly… the lot! So if there is a perfect way to move why aren’t we all doing it? Well that is exactly what today’s guest dives into as well as how you as individual can find balance with your body to avoid or prevent injury whils...

Do you ever wonder, ‘Exactly what is this inflammation that all these health experts keep talking about? Where is it? What does it look like?’... The unfortunate reality is that for the most part the inflammation we should be most concerned about is low grade, chronic inflammation. Low grade makes it sound not so bad but think of it as the difference between a pipe that bursts that causes you to have to mop up and replace some washers, versus, a pipe that leaks at just a trickle inside the wall ...

The problem with conventional medicine and nutrition is that it treats the individual as a machine, like a car taken to the mechanics which as you’re likely aware is not the case. Simply take the placebo effect… which the very vast majority of clinical trials that use a placebo control, show it is in fact mindset and belief that creates the desired outcome. Treating humans like machines would be fine if we were not conscious, emotional and spiritual beings. On today’s episode we go beyond diet a...

Mental illness is a very grey topic and a vague area because as much as we do know about it, our most predominant medical structure that exists, in the western world at least, is fixated on the physical reality of things and because we have a seeming lack of knowledge in relation to the physicality of what happens in our brain, or wherever our thoughts and feelings happen it result we can find ourselves “lost in the woods” if the very small number of support options we are presented fail. Today’...

Which type of emotions come up for you when you hear “meat” or “cows”... Many people have an emotional response for a list of reasons. Unfortunately there seems to be this romantic delusion of how life and death happens in nature, often by city based dwellers, or those entirely removed from the process of how food is obtained, processed and created, or simply how nature behaves when left to its own devices. In this episode with Diana Rogers we go deep on the topics that surround meat, death and ...

Are you savage to yourself? Or, are you nurturing? Which one of these has been effective… either or none? A surprisingly unique approach to binge eating is going deep into your reptilian brain and speaking like our core evolutionary driver should be spoken to: directly and savagely. As discussed in today’s episode, with a psychologist that has been deep in this exact challenge before, the self love movement doesn’t quite capture everyone in their quest to curb a detrimental relationship with hig...

Nutrient or toxin… which one do you choose? Seems simply right? When you’re a cancer patient in the mainstream system you don’t get a choice, you’re very quickly knees deep in toxic therapy, and hey, sometimes toxic lives require toxic treatment, but often, increased toxic load doesn’t produce highly favourable outcomes. Not to mention that types of foods that we put into our body and not in fact really nutrition and thus they add to the toxic load… what a rabbit hole right? Well you are in the ...

Have you mastered keeping yourself perfectly on task with your fitness? If not then congratulations.. you're a normal human. Holding 2 truths at the same time sounds tough, and you'd be right, but as you'll learn in this episode, it's a key variable of emotional maturity and getting yourself to the gym, saying no to the entire jar of cookies and eating nutrient-dense food! At the core of this is, really knowing yourself which begins first with getting to know who you are and how you perform best...

An awesome episode featuring the super famous Keto diet...so famous in fact it was the number 1 searched google term last year, like what?! I'm wrapped to know everyone is taking their awareness of food and nutrition to the next level. Although you gotta be careful as there are a number of ways that the Keto name, title and branding is leveraged to give you good news about bad food. If you’re wondering how to make change so that you shift the 3pm slump, improve your cognitive function and stay p...

Protein is essential to life. There is no doubt about it. That is one thing that all health professionals from any walk of medicine agree upon: every human needs protein. This episode of the show goes well beyond that because knowing that bit is not enough to actually earn the disease interrupting and preventative effects of ideal protein intake which is very likely to be much more than you are consuming right now. Not only that but we go into the debate of the source of your protein and why dif...

2 biologists have an open and honest conversation about the current state of the world, especially in Victoria Australia and the USA and of course this effects many other countries too.

Intermittent Fasting is arguably so powerful because of Autophagy. Yes there are massive hormone benefits in the context of insulin resistance and dipping into a ketogenic state to burn body fat but on a broader scale, the disease prevention and longevity benefits are powerful and Autophagy is the MVP in this space. If you’ve ever moved house then this episode will resonate with you, not only because I’ve just moved house but because moving house is a superb way to understand how this natural me...

Do you think that our ancestors ever put braces on to sort out their teeth? A better question might be did they even have out of place teeth? Or, did they brush their teeth twice per day to keep them clean? These oral hygiene practices are very new in the context of human evolution but the better question is, why are we now doing this? And is this change for better or worse? This episode with famous Beverly Hills & Hollywood dentist Dr. Kourosh Maddahi dives deep on how the modern diets, lif...

If you have ever had a history of dieting or you have found other protocols, programs or groups that take a diet culture approach to Intermittent Fasting, LCHF or Keto (or anything really) then you will really ...

1 in every 2 people will have to face cancer in some form. Our world has become so devastatingly toxic that these numbers are this high - crazy right? The good news is that there are people like Nathan Crane, today’s guest, out in the world showing you how to heal and reverse your dis-ease using a plethora of different methods and his award winning documentary and books for his work in the space of natural, holistic and integrative approaches to cancer are what I believe to be proof that he is o...

Cancer is a super complex disease and there are a myriad of angles in which we can come at it. However, most people surrender to the complexities and outsource the understanding of what is happening to their own body and I think that doing that means we also begin to outsource our responsibility. This is why I love the team at Truly Heal Academy because they educate you about your cancer and disease state in a way that informs you and provides you back the reins to your health journey, something...

Have you ever been a pin cushion? If you’ve had an acupuncture session before you’ll know what I am talking about, it’s the good kind of pin cushion experience. However, many have touted acupuncture as a bit of a “woo-woo” type of practice and written it off simply because it is an Chinese method/arm of medicine. However, what if I told you that reducing chronic pain, facilitating severe injury recovery and women’s health issues were all things that acupuncture can effectively deal with….AND it’...

Medicinal and therapeutic marijuana has been slowly growing over the last decade and there have been countless debates about how these plants should or shouldn’t be used or classified. As back alley access to these types of medicines became available (which I’ve had to access for loved ones) the pressure on the government to change the rules and allow legitimate access to these has increased and so today’s conversation brings some light and awareness to a fairly vague and unclear topic talking w...

Leaky Gut… or alternatively known as Intestinal Permeability Syndrome is so ridiculously common yet some doctors don’t even believe it exists. This crazy world right! Basically one of the major causes of this issue is, you guessed it, the western diet that is full of refined sugars and carbs that are not necessarily the right foods to be putting on our delicate gut lining. Fortunately, there are many health professional and food medicine experts like today’s guest that understand how to repair t...

As you can hear in this podcast, I'm really passionate and admittedly I may even have a bit of a chip on my shoulder about mainstream cancer therapy. My lovely guest Marcus, through his many years of experience with this complex disease, has become much wiser than I am yet to be about the way he talks about this in context of alternative and integrative therapies that actually work and in fact have years of evidence. Even better is that Marcus filmed a documentary that is not only filled with na...
