The Healthification Podcast

Let’s get straight to it and admit that you have food weakness’s. I do too. This will be an Eating Game Changer! It means giving up on the self-deceiving approach of expecting to one day miraculously wake up more disciplined, more motivated and less emotionally attached to food. I never woke up insanely disciplined and if you’ve struggled with your health, your ... READ MORE The post Stop Supermar...

Around 8 weeks into my 3 months Covid lockdown in Noosa, mum suggested I jump on the scale. I knew I was feeling lean however I was shocked to see I was 4 kilo’s lighter than the fit and healthy weight I’d been when I hot tailed it out of Sydney. I’d certainly been working hard, however mostly sitting on ... READ MORE The post 3 Hidden Factors To Effortless Weight Loss While Eating Delicious Vegan...

I’ve been a huge fan of Mic The Vegan for years now. Via his super popular YouTube channel (Mic The Vegan), Mike debunks harmful myths about a vegan lifestyle to help propel us towards a happy, healthy vegan world!

As mum and I record this we have a week left together in coronavirus lockdown here in stunning Noosa. It’s been almost 11 weeks since I first hurriedly packed a bag and hot-footed it out of my tiny flat in Sydney to stay with my parents – just before gyms, borders and life as we knew it closed. That might sound a little ... READ MORE The post Mum’s Back and We’re Spilling The Beans On Our Vegan an...

You may know my guest today as a result of his New York Times best selling books How Not To Die and How Not To Diet. Or perhaps you’re familiar with the amazing online resource NutritionFacts.org? Yet before Dr Michael Greger started NutritionFacts.org and switched to working on chronic disease, he had a career as Public Health Director at the Humane Society US in Washington, DC specialising ...

Todays conversation with TheGutHealthMD Dr. Will Bulsiewicz is one I’ve been excited about for a long time.

We’re chatting about delicious, abundant plant based diversity. Restriction free eating that is science backed, sustainable, and transforms your heal...

To my activist friends I want to share a consideration up front. I’m super aware that as animals rights activists we can often draw a clear line in the sand. We can get pretty black or white. I can get very black or white. Animal exploitation is bad. Unnecessary. Cruel, immoral and utterly unacceptable. That is, and always will be my line in the ... READ MORE The post Artifishal, Director Josh Bon...

Todays conversation with Keynote Speaker and Life Coach TJ Loeffler is a little diversion away from my usual focus on animal rights and veganism however it’s absolutely aligned with creating a healthy body and mind. TJ is Founder & Lead Coach at Loeffler International where he and his team guide clients through personal awakening and professional transitions both via a signature 6 week boot camp a...

Recent studies have found commercially grown food has 25% less vitamins, minerals and nutrients than 30 years ago. The main reason? Soil depletion. Modern intensive agriculture methods prioritize fast growing, pesticide resistant crops – a short term focus that yields huge, unnatural mono crops while stripping increasing amounts of nutrients from the soil. As our soil health diminishes, so too ......

Have you noticed the people that tend to get overwhelmed most easily are generally not the people with the most happening? That may sound harsh, as could this: I’ve come to believe overwhelm is lazy thinking. Somewhat scattered thinking. Of course I let myself get there from time to time too – however the good news for us both if YOU can ... READ MORE The post 9 Overwhelm Overcoming Tactics To Sta...

I came across the work of Dr Sailesh Rao just a couple of weeks ago at the recommendation of Dr Michael Klaper. I’m certainly grateful for that recommendation. Since you’re tuning in to this podcast I’m guessing you’ve made the connection that you can be fit, strong and healthy living a vegan lifestyle. You likely value the life of an animal over your taste and convenience and the longer you’ve .....

Today’s podcast is inspired (and I use that term loosely!) by a client who regularly struggles with Monday-i-tis. Each Monday as he would drag himself into the gym he’d announce “It’s a blue Monday” which I don’t know exactly the meaning of however I’m pretty sure it doesn’t mean he’s focusing of any of the 3 key questions I’m going to frame todays show around. Side-note: To be truthful ... READ M...

In today’s Monday Motivation show I’m focusing on Motion creating Emotion and I’m absolutely hoping to help Bulletproof Your Motivation To Exercise.  It’s all about the movement today. So let’s check in. Are you moving? Are you getting your exercising action on? I am because it keeps me sane. I must say I’m missing the gym though. Missing heavy weights to throw around. Although, on a positive ......

I have my favourite repeat guest back on the show today!

There’s nothing more terrifying than the thought of losing your memory and your mental health. Or of someone you love dealing which such a debilitating and heart breaking diagnosis as Alzheimer’s or any other form of dementia. It’s something that perhaps as bullet-proof and gleefully ignorant youngsters we joke about. In the way that we might laugh off our parents warnings about ... READ MORE The...

It’s somewhat amusing that as I plan this show on: Your Ideal Morning Routine During Covid-19, I’m sitting in the kitchen at 3:10am a good hour into my working day. Doesn’t sound quite so ideal does it? However I’m working out a new ideal for coronavirus quarantine that incorporates as much of my old routine as possible and I recommend you do too! If you didn’t quite have ...

Understanding your hormones, their functions, potential imbalances and subsequent health problems can seem like an overwhelming, confusing and complicated undertaking. I know in the health and fitness world, “hormonal imbalance” can be a bit of a throw away comment as to why someone might not be losing weight. Yet hormone related conditions stretch well beyond weight gain. Infertility, menopausal...

What are the climate change deniers looking to gain? I ask myself this daily, as daily I seem to negotiate conversations with lovely, compassion and intelligent individuals who either don’t believe in climate change or don’t believe humans have any impact on climate change. Then there are those who believe whatever happens it’s likely beyond our control here in Australia so ... READ MORE The post...
