On today's show we have the absolute legend Sugar Freedom Coach: Danielle Daem whom coaches women to go from sugar addiction to sugar freedom and th...

The latest dietary trend to you hit the shelves over the last couple of years has been The Keto Diet. Now, I am asked on a very regular basis, what the hell the my own thoughts on this, so I decided to wrap a few general thoughts that I do have, up in a podcast. In Today's Episode I Cover: What the Keto diet actually is The evolutionary function of burning fat for fuel Some not-so-glamorous tr...

Many people have an experience that provides for them some type of information that there is a missing part of the equation or their dimension that can only be explained by using the word, spirituality. That same experience happened a few times for Dr. Nasrin Parsian whom features on this episode and it then sent her down the research rabbit-hole looking at spirituality in the context of chronic d...

I get asked this question all the time and not only do I get asked about it, I also get ferociously informed of the opinions of other health and nutrition professionals out there in the social media world.. this is exactly why I thought it was about time I cleared up a few of the basic fundamentals when it comes to what Organic really means and how you can choose to interact with it, should you wi...

Food addiction kind of sounds like of a bit a ridiculous term but you don't have to look far to realise most people have some kind of problem with regulating their food consumption. Sadly addicts of all nature are usually unable to emotionally cope and the reality of our world is that parents nor schools really know either which results it is the blind leading the blind.. the big curve ball th...

This episode is a bit of a role reversal scenario. Last year I was lucky enough to be connected with Danny via by a mutual friend - we initially caught up for a coffee and passionately raved on about fat loss and I spilled my guts on my thoughts of the conventional medical systems neglect of diet and nutrition and that then became this podcast episode a few weeks later. It was awesome to be able t...

You know that touchy, feely, emotional stuff that men were never taught to deal with or express? It affects all areas of our relationships with other men and other women and it particularly influences the sexual domain and often there are some pretty negative places in that domain that you can find yourself in as a result of not learning how to express your feelings, desires or needs. Sex is a nor...

2 litres? 8 Glasses? A gallon? 30mls per kg?... There really are so many different opinions about how much water we should be consuming and it really is confusing. Confusing enough that the data continually seems to show that most people are in fact in a less than ideal level of hydration most of the time. Get a drink in ya whilst ya listen to this episode! In Today's Episode I Cover: Uses of...

Every single day we get up ready to face the stresses of the day - they're impossible to avoid, yet we are continually told that stress is a huge problem. What problem is it causing and what do we do about it? The magic question really, given that virtually no one has the desire to pack up and move to the Himalayas and sing kumbaya. This is why a good chat with stress expert and good friend Mi...

Isn't it interesting that coffee and alcohol are legal yet weed and cocaine are not... arguable substances that induce similar states in many cases. I digress. Coffee as a stimulant has been used for quite a long time in history and like everything humans get their hands on they just have to abuse it to the point that it is not useful.. or that it is now dangerous.. in some cases. Either way,...

Do you ever spend time each year detoxing? Or do you feel that your daily diet is healthy enough to not have to? Or maybe you simply don't believe we need to detox because we have a liver...?! In today's show Naturopath, Nutritional Therapist and Nutri-Advanced Metabolic Detox practitioner Melissa Smith introduces us to the part of the equation that we regularly forget or ignore. If you ar...

I'm not sure if you've thought much about your genetics before but if you have any health issues then it is time to start! You see I've learned a lot about your genetics and talked a lot about it to many people but what I've learned is most people have the completely wrong idea about their genetics and it is super empowering to out that your DNA is not your destiny! In Today's...

Ever thought before or during a binge on the worst food ever that you were not making the decision to do so.. OR that the rational to eat the terrible food was 1 million times more convincing than any argument not to? Well... guess what... the marketing is scientifically designed to manipulate a part of the brain that you don't have conscious control over... which is simply just shit news, BUT...

Here in Australia is starting to get cold.. well not all of Australia, but the lower southern parts certainly are and with it comes the ills and ails of too many people sharing their inside's with one another on public transport and passing on Colds and Flu's all over town, as well as a range of viruses and so I thought this episode today would be a perfect precursor to help out before the...

"I've had too many late nights! Right. I need to go to bed early tomorrow night".... sound familiar? I think most people say that probably once per week...which is, in a bigger way than you might expect, likely a major contributor to all types of disease and illness, both mental and physical. On today's show we welcome Kate Keeghan whom knows all too well about the impact sleep qua...

Free info for a 5 star rating? Life changing knowledge for a short written review? hey? hey? Pretty good deal I'd say. I'd be super grateful if you'd help me grow this podcast organically shooting up the charts but I absolutely need you to take a few moments to tell us what you really think in the review! ANYWAY... I honestly love cold showers, it fires me up for the day but it really...

If you've listened to any of the shows so far then you know that I am very passionate about the science behind ancient techniques and methods and utilsiing our modern technology to explain the long history and use of certain foods as medicine and other naturally occurring substances that appear in the likes of Traditional Chinese Medicine,...

People LOVE good news about their bad habits.. no matter what it is that you can't possible imagine separating yourself from you'll likely be able to find a scientific fact about the benefits of that particularly thing somewhere in the literature but the issue is that science truth about 1 thing variable necessarily take into account ALL the variables and taking into account all the variab...

You would assume that after however many years of human history that women would, with profound understanding, be familiar with each minute detail of their menstrual cycle. However, whilst that may have previously been the case, the modern world which is absolutely loaded with toxic diets, hormone filled meat, stress for days and synthetic hormonal manipulation with the aim of preventing natural p...

It is a SIGN...from... well whomever you believe is sending you the sign but it is no coincidence that WORLD HEALTH DAY and WORLD TRANSFORMATION DAY, both land on April the 7th! Which is exactly why I, firstly, involved myself in a public fitness activity for the day to raise money for sick kids and, secondly.. thought it would be a great idea to record this episode about how these 10 Tips can hel...

Think and you will be! Profound right? The mind is the most under-utilised part of the body in this modern society. Many ancient cultures had a profound understanding and connection with the mind and used it as a tool to govern their body, their lives, and their destiny. Getting Dr. Philip Alexander on the podcast, a doctor from the hospital that I work within was great to cut get some credible in...

It is the age old tale of weight loss - not seeing results fast enough. There are a few factors that play into this and the big one is that people expect to move mountains right off the bat despite not even owning a bulldozer, secondly, there are a bunch of things that are simply forgotten about by anyone that is not a nutrition or fitness expert and I'm going to give you 4 of the big ones in...

That little annoying voice.. the devil on the shoulder that is always reminding us of our flaws and our problems and holding us back because it keeps feeding us this narrative that leads us down the wrong path. Well.. It's time to give that guy the boot! In today's show with Shaun Resnik we cover: Mental and Physical Health Connection How To Engage With Your Scary, Negative Thoughts The to...

Pass the honey, hunny... I need another hit of the sweet stuff!.. Oh hey there.. thanks for dropping into another episode of the podcast where we discuss the basics of sugar addiction and why on earth, no matter how much willpower you use you don't seem to be able to stop! Guess what.. me too. Despite my healthy lifestyle I too sometimes get stuck in these cycles but alas, there are methods to...

This week is a super-serious week in the health and wellness space as it is International Eating Disorder Awareness Week and I find these types of events really useful to have more open conversations about some otherwise difficult subjects which is why I invited Stephanie Georgiou onto the show whom you may already know from Instagram as @Melbrunchqueen but she is also a qualified psychologist wit...
