This week, the wonderfully talented Dr Ann Shippy from Austin, Texas joins me on the show to discuss environmental toxin illness, specifically mould / mold.

This method stems from my engineering background and my own failed experience as a patient of traditional medicine. I treat patients suffering from any combination ...

When I first had Dan Palmer on the show, the feedback was a resounding “More Please!”. Why? Because often when big decisions come up in life, we don't know how to navigate them from a place of empowerment. We are so often consumed by the uncertainty of the outcomes, driven by fear and even when we decide, we can be preoccupied with “Is this the right decision?”. Dan Palmer literally wrote the thesis on holistic decision making and in this show, talks about Quality of Life Statements, fear in dec...

Kate Johnston, Naturopath and nutritionist, takes us on a journey looking into supplementation. We look at sourcing, quality, packaging, additives and then also at the act of taking them in general: do we need them, how long to take them, how to feel empowered if you think you're being prescribed too many, what nutrients are best obtained by food, what situations require us to get added nutrients from supplements when the food isn't able to provide a therapeutic dose. It's a great show on what t...

It all started when my SYD-LAX companion in June, Nigel and I were talking about the frustrating state of affairs in recycling tech (I know right?

What a privilege to be able to bring you this hopeful conversation with Professor Veena Sahajwalla this week on the show. She is the woman behind the technology turn...

On this week's show you get to meet the filmmaker who brought us the wonderful 2040 film this year - Damon Gameau's follow up film to “That Sugar Film” in 2014 and it didn't disappoint. As Damon said “Once you clock the vastness of the climate crisis issue, what other issue is there?” He simply made the film he had to make as a human and a dad wanting his little girl's 2040 to be different to the bleak picture we're seeing now. We talk about his journey into accidental activism through story tel...

Dr Elson Haas, one of the founders of the Integrative Medicine movement is my guest on today's podcast. What a treat! Something that has increased in need, while our environment and food has become more and more polluted is detoxification. Our biology was not designed for this morning world and the ol' “We don't need to detox, that's what our liver is for” just doesn't fly. One form of detoxification that has become popular over the past few decades is juice fasting so I wanted to look into this...

One of my favourite things to do for the show is to research people who are thought leaders and boy have I found one in Steve Nygren, co creator of “Serenbe”. Imagine a land plan that could provide for 20% more housing while saving 70% of the land for agriculture and recreation. Sounds impossible, right? In 2004, the Nygrens began development of Serenbe the community to demonstrate that it was absolutely possible and I talk to Steve about how it came to be that he could imagine this place and th...

Alzheimer's disease: It's something you dread that your future might reveal, and sadly the statistics are showing it to be more and more likely. 10 million cases of dementia are diagnosed worldwide each year, around 70% of those being an Alzheimer's diagnosis. This is all compounded by the fact that there's been very little progress in the past decades when it comes to treatment, much less reversal, so it's costing families and public health departments much heartache and money with the frustrat...

This week there are no questions and there is no guest - I'm chatting to you guys directly about my experience of starting to do Dr Joe Dispenza's work. When I came through the worst of mold illness (google “The whole mold story Low tox life” to hear all about that!) I realised I was catastrophising at the smallest things, always thinking the worst would happen and that was so unlike my pre-mold self that I knew I had some mental work to do to upgrade my mind. Enter Dr Joe who I'd read in the pa...
