What would your dream grocery store look like? 

Chances are, like many, you see a lot of injustice in the land of ‘food giants’ with corporate CEOs paid millions and large percentages of families skipping meals due to food insecurity: 

Is it hopeless? Will it all just get worse? 

It doesn’t have to. That’s why this podcast is here with you today. 

My guest, Jon Steinman, author of "A Grocery Story: T...

What if our lack of understanding about our inner mamma selves was what was holding us back from living more fulfilled lives. Loretta Breuning, PhD was frustrated as a professor and a mom, about how we were studying, teaching and applying learnings on motivation and happiness, and so she retired early from academia to study the mammalian brain and see if we might better optimise our natural wiring - what she found has seen her prod...

We think we’re so sure about what we know about science - did you know, though, that there are 48 catalogued forms of bias? There exists, and I was excited to learn this, a catalogue of bias that is constantly tweaked and updated. Which leads me to today’s show with Dr Lewis Ehrlich - one of our most popular guests over the years. When I saw Lewis had been accepted into a one-of-a-kind postgraduate program in Evidence-Based Me...

Gabriela Rosa realised she was onto something, when her clinic started producing healthy baby after healthy baby in partnership with their patients, when they’d ‘tried everything’ before finding her. That journey has led her to where she is now - in the final throes of her doctorate in Public Health at Harvard University in the USA - also now the epicentre of uncertainty for international students as well as the research fundi...

What’s your relationship with the meditative arts? Tried meditation but gave up because of being ‘too busy brained’? Think Tai Chi and Qi Gong is for the elderly only? Find it hard to keep a regular practice? Maybe it’s just overwhelming as to ‘what’ to exactly do and it’s a worry it’s ‘not working’?

On this week’s show I invited Jeff Patterson who has been practicing, studying and teaching in the meditative arts for over 3...

A treat on the podcast this week as we lift this epic class with @healthykidshappykids renowned paediatrician and author, Dr Elisa Song, out of our Low Tox Kids course vault for you.

With empowering knowledge and upgraded habits, we can keep medications for when they really do save the day - we’re lucky to have them, but the aim is to ensure a ‘genuine need’, not ‘quick repeat fix’ if there’s a broader piece to work on for a bet...

Cult thinking. Groupthink. Black and white thinking. “Loud, vocal thinkers’ and how extreme sound bites dominate the modern media landscape thanks to algorithms, painting a ‘majority picture’ when most people are not living out those extremes in day-to-day lives.

It’s quite a time to be alive, and also a time when it’s very easy to let the fear of something cloud our ability to judge the reality of a situation fully. Is “Apathei...

Can one podcast hour cover how eating carbs before bed likely puts you in progesterone deficiency and explain the many reasons that play into a female “turning out to be them/do what they do” in life? 

Yep. @drleahhectman and I start with ‘what happens from the moment you have the extra X chromosome and are defined as female, and go where the exploration took us: It’s quite a ride. 

You were never meant to be like ‘...

Do you use a sauna? A specific type of favourite sauna or temperature or frequency? Never tried it but sauna curious?

Dr Joy Hussain was a practising physician for many years before realising there was something very special about the sauna. She had Reynaud’s syndrome, which affects circulation, and noticed that using a sauna while living in Alaska improved her Reynaud’s. Moving to a warm climate next, she assumed that this woul...

One day your child is their “healthy normal” self, and the next day they’re radically changed, displaying neuropsychiatric symptoms that can scare and bewilder the child, their families and carers/teachers. The heartbreaking thing is it can take months if not years, to find a doctor who can identify and start treating the cause of this sudden change.

Enter Dr Nancy O’Hara. We look at PANS/PANDAS and the genetic, environmental a...

What does the UK’s best-known Dr, Rangan Chatterjee, want you to do?

What Matthew England, a “Scientia” Professor at UNSW (a renowned globally as the top expert because of his research and contributions to the subject) didn’t know would happen when he chose his field of study, Oceanography in the 80s, would be that he and his colleagues would quickly become climate scientists. In this week’s show, we discuss:

1. The ocean’s role as an absorber, filter and producer (think of our liver: Overloaded? St...

What is your understanding of “Intuition? Do you feel yours is fine tuned? 

Well, it turns out what we ‘think’ is our intuition is often instead our:

• Instinct - which comes from fear and keeping us ‘safe’
• Bias influenced by multiple layers of external conditioning 
• Suspicion - seeking the pleasure or assuredness of confirmed bias until we find it
• Thought - Rationalisation based on what we rationally know rather than wh...

Who doesn’t want a better quality of life for longer, right? 

This week, we’re talking about oxidative stress and the role of Glutathione: 

• How we get pushed, slowly, slowly out of homeostasis in our first 3 decades of life
• How the disease/medication cycle is inadequate and we need to focus on homeostasis recalibration to heal, not just manage disease. 
• How a dietary focus on cysteine is the most accessible a...

On this week’s show… Something like “being tough on immigration” can so easily become political capital, and, of course no one wants unfettered streams of people, unchecked, moving through one’s country’s borders. But what happens, when a hard-line policy ignores nuance, ignores affected industries and is also hard on human rights while implementing policy? Enter this week’s show guest, Brian Reisinger, author of Land Ric...

We don’t naturally think when we have recurrent sinusitis or cognitive decline: “Well I guess I should book with the dentist!” Right? Well, today’s guest Dr. Michelle Jorgensen who is a dentist, naturopath, author and speaker,. says, you might want to make that dentist appointment!

As she’s seen as both a dentist and a naturopath, oftentimes what’s happening in the body can originate from dental work that’s been done in the...
