The Dental Diet with Dr Steven Lin May 25, 2018

Show notes

According to Dr Steven Lin we're facing a health crisis with issues such as Type 2 Diabetes, Sleep Apnoea, Obesity and Behavioural Disorders now at epidemic levels. Worse still, these issues are affecting the population younger and younger as time progresses. As a dentist, Dr Steven Lin is seeing these issues in practice and witnessing the relationships between dental health and systemic health and/or disease. It has prompted him to re-examine the underlying causative factors and resulted in him writing a book; "The Dental Diet" to raise awareness of the issues of the lost nutrients in modern day diets.

The Exposome with Vanessa Hitch May 08, 2018

Show notes

Why do some people become unwell from a given exposure whilst others carry on seemingly unaffected? This is where understanding an individual's "exposome" comes into play. The exposome is the lifetime accumulation of toxic burden, spanning from conception to present day and takes into account your genetic and epigenetic makeup as well as your detoxification capabilities which handle this load. Vanessa Hitch is a naturopath and has become an exposome detective uncovering the many sources of endocrine disruption and toxic burden in her patients. In today's podcast, Vanessa discusses how she's identifying a client's toxic exposures, what the most common ones are and how she's minimising them. Vanessa will be teaching practitioners in greater-depth on this crucial topic in a forthcoming education event with The Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS).
