The symptoms of bloating and bulging belly with embarrassing gas and pain after meals, or reflux that burns your aesophagus, may be part of Irritable Bowel Disorder, SIBO, ulcerative colitis or even Crohn's disease.  Collectively they form a growing trend in western societies, with much of the blame going to increasing stress levels. Stress affects the vagus nerve - the longest cranial nerve in th...

Excessive weight gain can be a depressing challenge for many who grapple with hormone imbalance or other stresses that overload the body.  It can become even harder for women after menopause to maintain a healthy weight and body shape. Obesity can also lead to other disease conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease, and therefore shorten our life span.  It can feel like a revolving door of en...

Obsessive-compulsive behaviours are rooted in a physical brain issue and therefore are not an archetypical psychological / mental health issue. That is a big difference! All the talk therapies and pharmacological therapies of every type have not been able to address the underlying brain issue, however there is a strategy that has been working to break such fixations in a ground breaking trial. My...

Rituals have been used for millennia in every culture and walk of life to help manifest and power up goals. Traditionally many have learned to light a candle and pray to the highest spiritual power many call God, or the God-force. There are a multitude of different kinds of rituals in this toolbox. How do rituals help the brain focus, connect and turn our goals into reality?  My special guest toda...

How do excessive estrogenic compounds and chemicals suppress magnesium? How is it related to excessive weight gain, hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue and metabolic syndrome.

Technology can be an angel or a demon, depending on whether it supports human personal growth, happiness and prosperity, or whether it is used for criminal activity or excessive overreach in government totalitarian control. For self-empowerment people need personal freedom, which means we need tools to be free within the environment we live in, and to connect safely with other like-minded people f...

Why are so many women suffering from energetic burnout?  Despite good nutrition and lifestyle practices, they may still suffer from stress overload due to a subconscious drive to ‘helicopter mother’ their family at the sacrifice of their own needs.  What is it that makes them feel responsible for the happiness of others?  Why do they put their own needs last, and can often suffer chronic fatigue a...

Toxins, heavy metals and endocrine disruptors are notorious for blocking the activity of our vital minerals such as magnesium.  These chemicals affect hormone balance, suppress metabolism, and can be stored in excessive fat, contributing to obesity. To make matters worse, the extra fat storage makes more estrogen, dampening down testosterone, and leads to a whole cascade of problems downstream, in...

Many office workers sit way too much during the day, sit again in transport to and from work, and sit again to watch TV after dinner. ‘Exercise Deficiency’ ages us prematurely and leads to metabolic issues, chronic fatigue, brain fog, obesity and degenerative diseases.

Why can't people move forward with their lives if an emotional issue creates a speed bump that hinders focus, confidence and progress? How does one detach from the revolving door of an obsessive thought? What happens when we can see the rationale of something intellectually, but the negative emotion attached to a memory doesn't follow suit?  What happens when such an emotional memory becomes a str...

According to the Australian CSIRO, at least 50% of Australians experience unpleasant gut symptoms from bloating and reflux to Inflammatory Bowel Disease, with 1 in 7 experiencing very distressing symptoms.

We have seen an exponential rise in recent years in the use of hemp products like Cannabidiol (CBD) as a natural health supplement to support the endocannabinoid system, most commonly for pain relief, but also as an adjunct to cancer treatment and immune system disorders (which are notorious for producing pain). This has opened the gate to a proliferation in suppliers of cannabis products with a v...
