Anxiety is extremely common (around 17% of Aussies deal with it), and it can impact every aspect of your life.
A lot of experts say that anxiety can’t be overcome, it can only be managed. And this definitely may be true for some people, but I’ve seen many of my clients be able to overcome it completely with a root cause approach.
In this episode, I cover:
• My top nutrition tips for anxiety
• The most important lifestyle strategies
• The key nutrients, supplements and foods to help relieve anxiety
• Functional lab testing and a root cause approach

In this episode, we’re chatting all about coffee.
I’m going to cover some of the benefits, and potential adverse effects of coffee, and give you some suggestions on how you can make coffee work for you, not against you.
I believe that in most cases, we can avoid having to give it up or take a break, so if you’re also a coffee lover, I’ll try my best to allow you to keep having coffee, but without any negative side effects.

When we think of gut health, for most people, it’s only digestive symptoms that come to mind.
Here’s the thing though: you don’t have to have gut symptoms to have a gut problem.
So yes, there are digestive symptoms that can be linked to leaky gut, like bloating, constipation or diarrhoea.
But because of leaky gut, seemingly random symptoms like fatigue and period pain, can be caused by what’s going on in our GI tract.
In this episode, I cover:
• the signs you may have leaky gut
• what leaky gut is, and how it actually causes symptoms
• how to overcome leaky gut

Are you exhausted, anxious or sleeping badly? Or maybe you have low energy, irritability, gut issues, period problems or poor thyroid function?
I speak with women daily who are doing things like fasting and HIIT training, which may actually be impacting their metabolism and body function on a whole.
So, if you’ve ever skipped a meal, skipped breakfast and maybe had a coffee or 2 instead or restricted your calorie intake, this episode is for you.
Here’s what I cover:
• The “male bias” and how it impacts science and what we know about health and nutrition
• Intermittent fasting - is it good for the female metabolism?
• What you need to know about coffee - is it bad for you? Should you give it up?
• The problem with calorie restriction
• The number one skill you need to learn on your journey to help you kick all your health goals
