High Vibe & Healthy: Gut Health | Functional Nutrition | Whole Foods

So many of us are living in a state of constant chronic stress, which impacts our gut health, hormones, energy levels and so much more. Many of us also have breathing issues; poor breathing can impact your energy levels and sleep quality, which can affect your health on a whole. In today’s episode, I’m speaking with Bella Stone, a Buteyko Breathing Practitioner, Nutritionist and Barre Instructor....

The number one mistake I see most people make is not consuming enough protein. While nothing beats food-based protein from animal sources like meat, seafood and eggs, I realise that many of us are busy, and adding in a protein powder can be a quick and easy way to make sure you’re meeting your daily protein needs. The question is, which protein powder is best? This is without a doubt the number on...

I have something a little bit different for you today. We’re going to be chatting all about nutrition for business owners. This is an interview I did recently with Bec Buchanan on her podcast, Straight Up Small Business, produced by Bambi Media. Now, while the episode is based on nutrition and health for business owners, if you are a busy human living a busy life this podcast is going to be super...

Gut healing isn’t just for people with digestive symptoms.  If you have non-specific symptoms like low energy or brain fog or difficulty losing weight, or hormonal imbalances or hormone-related conditions, like painful or heavy periods, irregular cycles, PCOS or endometriosis, or uncomfortable symptoms of perimenopause or menopause, then I highly recommend looking into supporting your gut. Th...

In the last episode, I spoke about the most common factors at the root cause of fatigue and I know there was a lot in there, so this week, I’m going to make it more simple and tangible for you and walk you step-by-step through the process of getting your energy back. In the episode, I cover: • The key nutrition and lifestyle factors for increased energy • The best functional lab testing options fo...

I know what it’s like to feel tired all the time, and I know just how challenging and frustrating it can be. It really impacts every single aspect of your life. I found it hard to focus at work, I didn't really feel like socialising or doing anything that might wear me out too much, and I really just felt like I was just hanging on - I wasn’t loving life, I was just existing. And coming out the ot...

In the health world there’s such a massive focus on supplements. I love supplements and always use them in my work with clients, BUT, when it comes to getting the key vitamins and minerals we need from our diet, we can quite easily get most if not all of what we need to be healthy from the food we eat. But just eating a generally healthy diet isn’t enough. You need to also focus specifically on ad...

How’s your sleep? Are you having trouble falling asleep, or maybe you find yourself lying awake at night? Or maybe you think you‘re sleeping well but you wake up feeling exhausted. Insomnia (sleep disturbance) covers a wide range of experiences and can cause endless misery and frustration. It can also be the cause of long-term health problems. It may be time to check in on how your sleep is workin...

Worried that antibiotics will damage your gut? Today’s episode came about because I often get panicked messages from clients who’ve had to go on antibiotics - and they’re freaking out about whether the antibiotics are going to completely derail their progress. In this episode, I’m sharing how to rebuild your microbiome after taking a course of antibiotics, and the other key things to focus on post...

Blood sugar regulation is a huge missing puzzle piece for so many people on their healing journeys. If you often feel exhausted or have big dips in energy throughout the day, get hangry, experience anxiety or have trouble sleeping – these are all signs your blood sugar could be out of whack. Recently, I experimented with using a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) to track my blood sugar levels in re...

Does the thought of travel make you think about gut issues like food poisoning, diarrhoea, gut pain and discomfort? Or even just poor sleep and jetlag? I’ve suffered my share of all of these things and had some really awful (and embarrassing) experiences over the years. Thankfully, I can say I am able to avoid them now. I’ve just had 3 amazing weeks in Greece on an idyllic island in the Aegean Sea...

IBS or IBD? Do you hear those terms and wonder what the difference is? Diarrhoea, fatigue, abdominal pain and cramping, unintended weight loss, and blood in your stool are some of the common signs and symptoms that you may have Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). With IBD in particular, patients usually receive very limited, if any, diet and lifestyle advice to manage their condition. In reality, yo...

Have you ever walked out of a doctor’s office feeling frustrated, defeated or completely unheard? I have people messaging me on instagram every single day sharing experiences just like this with me. I’ve heard it from my clients, and I’ve experienced it too. And that’s why I want to share with you how you can advocate for yourself with doctors. In this episode, I cover: • How to find the right doc...

Hey friends! You may have noticed I’ve been MIA from the podcast for a few weeks. And that’s because I got COVID. Which is what we’re going to be chatting about today. I want to share with you what my experience of having COVID was like, the supplements and lifestyle tools I used to support myself during and after having COVID. I’ll touch briefly on Long COVID. Join me as I chat all about: • Foods...

Fatigue, constipation, weight gain, and thinning hair and eyebrows are only some of the common signs and symptoms that your thyroid gland isn’t working as it should. You could also be experiencing feeling cold when everyone around you is throwing off their jumpers. Confusingly, when the thyroid is overactive (instead of the more common underactive thyroid) can cause symptoms of anxiety, diarrhoea,...

I recorded this podcast because quite honestly, I’ve been feeling pretty stressed, anxious and overwhelmed myself lately. And I know that you might be feeling the same. In this episode, I’m going to share with you the top ways you can support yourself emotionally and nutritionally to feel calmer and just to feel ok on the inside, even when all sorts of crazy stuff is going on in the world. Subscri...

Are you exhausted, anxious or sleeping badly? Or maybe you have low energy, irritability, gut issues, period problems or poor thyroid function?  I speak with women daily who are doing things like fasting and HIIT training, which may actually be impacting their metabolism and body function on a whole. So, if you’ve ever skipped a meal, skipped breakfast and maybe had a coffee or 2 instead or r...

Are you feeling the painful effects of heartburn or reflux, or even something called ‘silent reflux’, causing milder but frustrating symptoms of pain, sore throat, burning, or postnasal drip. Maybe you’ve even been taking medication to stop the burning in your stomach? Whether you have reflux or silent reflux, it’s really important to identify what’s going on, and get to the root cause of the issu...

Are you frustrated by insomnia, sugar cravings, teeth grinding and jaw pain, chronic skin issues, infertility or mood swings? These are just some of the symptoms that can be caused by parasites.  There’s an old saying “If you have a pulse, you have a parasite.” Eek! We are probably all affected by parasites to some extent, whether or not they are driving the symptoms you are experiencing.&nbs...

Are you sick and tired of not having an answer to your fatigue, bloating, heartburn and reflux, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhoea, or other gut-related symptoms like acne or eczema? Gut testing may be the answer you are looking for. This is something I use in my practice with most of my clients, because as you probably know by now, most of the people I work with are experiencing gut symptoms...
