It’s arguably a controversial conversation these days, being direct, intense and strong with people. These days our culture encourages us towards comfort in every possible moment of our existence and the instant something is uncomfortable we’re conditioned to seek comfort instantly. Coupling this fear of discomfort and pain with a society that dwells on the past and you have the ultimate cocktail...

We all love the concept of detoxing, right? I’m sure you've thought about it before - getting all the bullshit out of your body that you’ve consumed and inhaled over the years makes for a logical idea but, how much crap is really in there and how do we get it out? Shockingly or maybe not shockingly, it isn’t just the beers and pizza that have caused damage to our body but some far less obvious...

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...

How has the sugar consumption been going for you this year? If you’re like most people.. Or me, then you know it’s been going through the ROOF.

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 th...

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...

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...

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...

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 choo...

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 in...

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 h...

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 f...

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 our...

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 ow...

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 lov...

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...

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 c...

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...

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 co...
