Metabolism, Weight Gain and Hormone Disruptors, with Kristina von Oertzen
Friday Jun 14, 2024
Friday Jun 14, 2024
Hormone disruptors are pervasive chemicals that can make their way into our body via our everyday environment, food, water and what we put on our skin. Over time these chemicals can change our hormone balance and suppress metabolism, causing debilitating symptoms like excessive weight gain, diabetes and obesity. My special guest today is Kristina von Oertzen, a certified nutrition coach with over a decade of experience guiding midlife women through peri to postmenopausal changes so they can embrace menopause with confidence and positivity, making it a period of renewal rather than decline.

Friday May 31, 2024
Friday May 31, 2024
When exercise is done the right way you can leverage the benefits and get a big result from surprisingly little effort. The point is we need to move our body, our muscles, and our circulation to maintain good mobility and flexibility. The less exercise and the more sedentary we become, the stiffer, weaker and more prone to injury we become. Even if you are recovering from an injury or are in your senior years with aches and pains that don’t leave you alone, Pilates exercises can help you maintain fitness in a gentle, enjoyable and sustainable manner.
My special guest today is Kate Boyle, a Nutritionist and Pilates Instructor that focuses on effective lifestyle practices and strategic body movement to eliminate pain and build strength.

"Transdermal Magnesium - How it Works" (Interview with Dr Bijoy John)
Friday May 24, 2024
Friday May 24, 2024
Many people have trouble with magnesium tablets and powders because they are quite difficult to digest and absorb, and the gut wall is not well suited for high concentrations of magnesium to be absorbed to the interior, so the majority of ingested tablets and powders is wasted by the digestive system. It has been thought for a long time that the skin cannot absorb magnesium minerals, and that it can only go one way, which is out during perspiration. However recent studies have confirmed that the skin can absorb significant amounts of magnesium when magnesium chloride salt is dissolved in water. This happens when we go swimming in the ocean, soaking in mineral springs, or having a magnesium bath with magnesium chloride or magnesium sulphate (epsom salts). Dissolved magnesium chloride (magnesium oil) can also be absorbed into the epidermis when lipids (fats) are present. Without the lipids the pure magnesium oil can sit on the surface of the skin too long and cause irritation and itchiness, especially when people have thinner and more sensitive skin types. The higher the concentration the more resistance there is - unless you have enough lipids to facilitate the absorption. This short video explains the mechanism of action of transdermal magnesium.

HOW STRESS AFFECTS GUT HEALTH - with Lea Dombrowski
Friday May 17, 2024
Friday May 17, 2024
The symptoms of bloating and bulging belly with embarrassing gas and pain after meals, or reflux that burns your aesophagus, may be part of Irritable Bowel Disorder, SIBO, ulcerative colitis or even Crohn's disease. Collectively they form a growing trend in western societies, with much of the blame going to increasing stress levels. Stress affects the vagus nerve - the longest cranial nerve in the body, and the one directly controlling the digestive tract. Even if you have a great diet, it may be that stress is letting down your digestive capacity, and that can have disastrous repercussions, including sleep problems, fatigue and metabolic syndrome.
My special guest today is Lea Dombrowski, holistic health coach and nutritionist, specializing in gut health, hormone balance, fitness, and functional medicine. Through her own health journey of recovery she has worked out a natural holistic approach that helps heal and bring back peace to the gut.

Managing Body Shape, Muscle and Bone Health - Part 1 The Diet
Friday May 03, 2024
Friday May 03, 2024
Excessive weight gain can be a depressing challenge for many who grapple with hormone imbalance or other stresses that overload the body. It can become even harder for women after menopause to maintain a healthy weight and body shape. Obesity can also lead to other disease conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease, and therefore shorten our life span. It can feel like a revolving door of entrapment with yo yo dieting, which returns to the same predicament of excessive weight, even when a person is not actually over-eating.
My special guest today is Angela Beyer, a renowned personal trainer, nutritionist and health coach who works with high level athletes, businesses and those looking to turn their health around sustainably. After triumphing over her own personal health challenges she became passionate about sharing this knowledge with others, and founded ‘House of Shape’, which offers women the guidance they need to attain their fitness goals.https://www.instagram.com/healthcoachangela

What Causes Binge Eating Compulsions? With Jason Stanley
Friday Apr 19, 2024
Friday Apr 19, 2024
Obsessive-compulsive behaviours are rooted in a physical brain issue and therefore are not an archetypical psychological / mental health issue. That is a big difference! All the talk therapies and pharmacological therapies of every type have not been able to address the underlying brain issue, however there is a strategy that has been working to break such fixations in a ground breaking trial.
My special guest today is Jason Stanley, a social scientist who began research into the cause and cure of obesity with a medical anthropology field study in 1979. Since then he has published multiple articles, two books, and conducted multiple clinical trials. In early 2022 he began a 2+ year clinical trial based in neural plasticity healing the root cause of chronic emotional eating resulting in obesity. The success is a whopping 85% compared to the standard long term success of only 3% (97% FAILURE) for the weight loss industry.

Rituals have been used for millennia in every culture and walk of life to help manifest and power up goals. Traditionally many have learned to light a candle and pray to the highest spiritual power many call God, or the God-force. There are a multitude of different kinds of rituals in this toolbox. How do rituals help the brain focus, connect and turn our goals into reality?
My special guest today is Elissa Wilson, aka The Ritual Woman, a health coach who helps others remember who they are and connect with that spiritual essence of ‘I am’.

What is the Connection Between ADHD and Bipolar Disorder? - with Lynda Dyer
Sunday Mar 03, 2024
Sunday Mar 03, 2024
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and bipolar disorder share certain symptoms and traits, which means they’re often misdiagnosed for one another. They can also occur simultaneously. 8.4% of children and 2.5% of adults are estimated to have ADHD. Symptoms include inattention or difficulty focusing and concentrating, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Whereas, bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that range from depressive lows to manic highs. In this episode we will tease apart what may be causing these behaviours. My special guest today is Lynda Dyer, a Master Trainer and Coach of NLP and Matrix Therapies. She is also author of 13 books for self-development and empowerment, helping you to be the master of your life and destiny. https://lynda-dyer.com/
