The commencement of menstruation can be more life changing than is expected. The transition from a carefree active life in play and sport, to a period each month of mopping up embarrassing fluids and being paranoid that everyone notices, as well as dealing with cramps, mood swings and energy fluctuations, can be quite daunting. My special guest tod…

Right now, the maximum human lifespan is 122 years. Experts base that lifespan on the longest-lived person with a verifiable date of birth. However, the average lifespans are very much different, with Australia’s being a bit over 83 years. And this statistic doesn’t even account for years of debilitating illness that may have been prevalent leading…

Frailty and disability are all too often associated with ageing. The biggest effects seem to be felt from 50 onwards, even though many have a lifespan into their 80s and 90s. Does that mean 40 or 50 years of accelerated weakness, dependency and disability? Some fitness experts say no; it doesn’t need to be so. This half of life can be the most rewa…

How do we know what we want out of life? What motivates us to get anything done at all? What does it mean to seek ‘good times’? How can we avoid boredom, which saps motivation? This will be a deep dive into the mind to unpick our reasons for doing or not doing. My special guest today is Christin Schnepf, an adventurous sociologist, human behaviour …

Autoimmune thyroid diseases are the most prevalent organ-specific autoimmune diseases affecting about 5% of the population. They include Graves’ Disease and Hashimoto Thyroiditis, among others, and reflect the loss of immunological tolerance. My special guest today is Dr Kevin Smith, a board-certified functional medicine practitioner who has been i…

There can be a wide spectrum of differences from person to person in how stress and magnesium deficiency are expressed. Someone may experience cramps or headaches, while another sleep problems and restless legs. Someone else may develop diabetes, heart disease or heart arrhythmias, hypothyroidism, or digestion and gut problems. How is the body tryi…

We tend to forget the body is biology, and not a metal machine with fixed components like your car. If something goes out of alignment - or out of 'tune' - we can experience a lot of pain from that stress, wear and tear, which also causes magnesium depletion, further weakening the electrical-nervous system and metabolism. My special guest today is …

Rather than masking ongoing pain with medications and no end in sight, why not look at what is causing the issue and fix it? My special guest today is Dr William Moyal, a chiropractor and Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP) based in Florida, with over 39 years of clinical experience. He has developed a 3-step system in non-surgical treat…

Women tend to outlive their men folk, so they may at some stage be faced with a scenario of living without a partner – or without the ‘team’ they had been used to. How can women stay independent and resilient in their golden years, and in the face of big changes? My special guest today is Allison McCune-Davis, a Traditional Naturopath and working m…

Therapists commonly look for possible causes of pain, inflammation and disease in terms of injury, toxic exposures or bacterial infection. However, another major contributor is the toxicity of unresolved emotions that stay buried and unhealed, triggering physical symptoms and ill health. How do we cleanse from unresolved emotional issues to free us…

Chronic fatigue and inflammation are common symptoms of many diseases. It doesn’t matter what age you are at, if you get sick, you feel very tired. Of course, as we age we get a bit slower too. So what exactly is happening to the production of energy by our cells in a diseased state? What can we do to support energy production to help our immune sy…

There is a lot of talk lately about ‘biohacking’ yourself in order to heal from physical or emotional pain. What’s the difference really? Both types hurt. In one sense physical pain from injury is often easier to recover from than emotional pain from grief, fear, loneliness and isolation. These mindsets present the greatest stress and danger to our…

The modern urban lifestyle seems to be getting evermore stressful with mounting financial pressures and environmental exposures. More people are becoming magnesium deficient, which then causes a cascade of other symptoms and premature ageing. How can we afford to get off that treadmill and back to a more enriching and enjoyable life? My special gue…

Even though women have to deal with hormonal pimples and menstruation each month, after the body finishes its spring cleaning event, the system gets a revitalising boost of health and radiance as hormones rebalance. However, when perimenopause or menopause commences, those cycles of cleansing and renewal can go way out of wack, causing extreme fati…

Have you wondered why some people get caught up in a cycle of addiction and self-sabotage? These behaviours are often linked to childhood traumas that have not been resolved or healed. It’s emotional baggage that gets carried forward as negative self-talk to pollute future life experience and relationships. My special guest today is Richard Tierney…

Mental health issues are escalating at an alarming rate. Last century psychiatry involved a lot of talk therapy and introspective analysis: Now it’s more about labelling (diagnosing) from a list of symptoms in the psychiatric DSM, which are linked to a list of psychotropic drugs, potentially leading to unhealthy dependencies. Most of these diagnosi…

What are the effects of the increasing electrification of our work and home environment? Our earth’s own electromagnetic field protects life from the harsh solar space environment, but humans have now amassed a grand array of electro-pollution that adds a great strain to our life and health. From TVs, computers and mobile phones beaming out EMFs, t…

We may get to a stage where we realise our mistakes or the bad habits that need changing, but cognitive awareness isn’t often enough to make the right changes. This is because habits are part of the autonomic nervous system and drive our actions from a subconscious domain. How to re-write the program that went into autopilot is the challenge. My sp…

With neurodivergence, autism and Asperger Syndrome on the rise, there is much confusion about how to integrate these ‘diffabilities’ into a workable social model. Not fitting into our old neurotypical models of social behaviours and expectations can cause much trauma and emotional pain for those on the spectrum. Stress and anxiety can push them int…

Stresses, chemical exposures and nutritional deficiencies can cause excessive waste build up in our brain and central nervous system, which can lead to toxicity, brain fog, headaches and inflammation. If our brain super highways of electrical and neuronal activity get clogged with traffic jams it can get hard to think clearly, memory can fail and e…

The Total Fertility Rate in Australia over the past 30 years has slowly dropped from 1.86 in 1993 to 1.5 in 2023. It’s a similar trend in other western countries. Putting aside lifestyle choices and economic pressures that cause families to have less children (or no children) intentionally, there is also a growing trend of inability to have childre…

Humanity seems to be at a difficult crossroad at the moment, with many existential threats that can cause chronic anxiety, stress, and PTSD symptoms. These challenges at times can seem insurmountable and overwhelming, so how do we get ourselves back on track with strength and purpose? My special guest today is Sophia Elan, a former corporate lawyer…

The Breath of Life is a true miracle in Nature: From a pregnant woman’s breathing that supplies her unborn with access to life, to that child’s first breath of air at birth, the process of breathing determines how we live. But are you aware that certain breathing exercises and techniques can greatly improve your cardiovascular function, and extend …

If you are suffering from chronic fatigue, brain fog, anxiety or excessive weight gain, irrespective of having a good diet and multiple nutritional supplements, it may be because of poor digestion. Food may be transiting your digestive system, but how much nutritional value is being absorbed into tissue cells on the interior of your body? That is t…

Urinary incontinence is surprisingly common in women at various stages of life including pregnancy and in the later years over 40. Many suffer in silence due to embarrassment, or they are advised on strategies like pelvic floor muscle exercises and Kegels, which don’t always work to fix the problem. My special guest today is Dr. Nigel Brayer, DC, P…

Life’s challenges can seem at times overwhelming. The shock of a trauma, an accident or war experience can reset our nervous system and cause Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It can disrupt sleep and severely impact mental and physical health. Rather than suffering in silence, it’s best to seek help from those that have the knowledge and who have wa…

The art of the challenge involves stretching our boundaries in order to grow, strengthen and improve. But first we have to get over fear and self-doubt. How can we get out of a rut to meet the challenge when the rut means we are feeling unmotivated, low in energy, and with brain fog? My special guest today is Victor Vizcaino, a transformational coa…

Chronic pain and unrelenting inflammation are very debilitating symptoms causing excessive stress and even depression. Why are standard treatments like opioids, narcotics and other drugs failing to help people resolve their health problems? Are there natural alternatives that are more effective to treat these conditions without such dangerous side …

With the escalation in stress levels, inflammatory conditions and immune disorders we need good strategies to support the body so it can rebalance and heal. As we lose magnesium excessively under stress, and its deficiency can lead to inflammation and auto immune diseases, it makes sense to replenish with more magnesium to relax and calm the nervou…

Autoimmune diseases incorporate more than eighty related disorders, that range from common to very rare, and affect around 5% of people. They include diseases such as thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, lupus erythematosus, vasculitis (which is inflammation of the blood vessels), and even cancer. My special guest today is Shruti Sethi, an …

You may have heard many refer to us humans as beings of light, but what does that really mean? We know the body runs on bio-electricity and is also affected by electro-magnetic fields. Is it possible to get a kind of short-circuit that impacts health, and how can we recover better? My special guest today is Jason Yun, a seasoned nutrition and fitne…

Usually people adopt a vegan diet to treat digestive issues which relate to other cascading health problems. Initially it can produce fantastic results with energy, health and wellness, as the workload to digest food is lifted and the body uses the opportunity to detox. However, with prolonged use of this therapy, you can overshoot the mark with un…

Flexibility and resilience of muscles and joints is a hallmark of youthfulness, but over time our ankles can become more restricted in movement, and therefore more prone to injury, arthritis, inflammation, neuropathy or venous ulcers. This condition not only causes pain, but impairs the ability to do exercise, which we need to maintain optimal bloo…

Whether it’s Ritalin for ADHD, antipsychotics for those with a schizophrenia diagnosis, or antidepressants for those suffering nervous exhaustion, there are inevitably some people that do not respond well to the standard psychiatric medicinal treatments, and who suffer greatly from their side effects. In fact, it is widely disputed these days wheth…

Have you heard a lot about meditation, tried it, but can’t get into it? Did you know that it can be adapted to suit individual needs and lifestyle? It can help us move into the slipstream of life, efficiently achieving our hopes and dreams to enjoy the game of life. It can help us harness the brain’s capacity to tap into knowledge, creativity, intu…

The invisible radiation spectrum in our environment can affect different people in different ways, depending on their sensitivity. If we can’t handle the level of exposures, we can develop chronic fatigue, headaches, metabolic syndrome, sleep disorder, anxiety, terrible mood swings, cancer and more. This is because those fields stress and depolaris…

50% of women who exercise experience menstrual disturbances. Stress has a major impact on fertility and regular periods. It’s not only psychological stress or sleep deprivation, but excessive exercise can also cause periods to stop. My special guest today is Allison Yamomoto, a mentor and health coach for the active woman. She was an NCAA cheerlead…

When people feel pain their first reaction tends to be to reach for a tablet, but NSAIDS like Nurafen and Voltaren can become addictive. What if chronic inflammation keeps tormenting you? How can you get out of that revolving door? My special guest today is Dr. Jess Harvey, a registered Osteopath, Health Coach and Director of Head 2 Toe Health serv…

We often marvel at the magical healing powers of the body against all odds. I’m sure many of you have heard stories of someone that was told to go home and get their affairs in order, yet they survived and thrived for years to come. Some people have discovered how to harness the power of Energy Medicine and Whole Person Healing – such as my special…

If you know you can, then you can. Napoleon Hill wrote, “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” That’s the key to unlock the door to freedom and empowerment, which enables more happiness and therefore better health. The problem is that most people don’t use this tool because they were never taught that they have the inn…

When bad news floods in via the TV everyday, it can become hard to find a bright side for many people. If the mind is on a cycle of worrying about things it can’t control, it causes excessive stress, which leads to ill health. Your thoughts create your reality via emotions. Understanding the strategy of changing negative thought patterns is the key…

If you are feeling as if it seems like there is no way out of circumstances, you may be surprised to find out there is always another way forward, but you had a blind eye to it. And why is that goal sometimes so elusive? The stress of holding a seemingly impassable position without release can severely impact health. My special guest today can help…

If our body can’t efficiently detox from metabolic wastes and environmental toxins, we can get an accumulation of clogged tubes and traffic jams in our internal rivers, which hinders electrical conductivity, oxygen delivery, and mitochondrial production of energy. This can open the doors to developing metabolic syndrome, diabetes and obesity. Howev…

Why do so many parents seem unable to cope with reigning in anti-social behaviours in teenagers? How do parents deal with abberant behaviours that get out of control? How do we help guide them towards becoming well balanced adults in the face of so many negative environmental influences? My special guest today is Dr Larry Waldman, a professional ps…

As our pets share our environment, they are often subject to the same kinds of stresses and health issues as humans. They can suffer from anxiety, emotional wounds, magnesium deficiency symptoms and other health challenges. As with humans, our canine friends can also enjoy better health via nutrition and diet, combined with massage therapy. My spec…

Why do some people become addicted to substances very easily, whilst others don’t? Why do some people need more nutritional support than others, given the same environmental conditions and diet? The answer could be in the DNA sequences and their epigenetic settings. My special guest today is Elwin Robinson, the Founder of Genetic Insights, a progra…

Social isolation and loneliness lead to depression, which harms both mental and physical health. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, in 2022, over 1 in 6 Australians were experiencing loneliness. This trend has been increasing since 2012. In line with this social isolation, we are also seeing an increasing crime rate. What …

Military service members who have returned from combat are at an elevated risk of suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of traumatic events they may have witnessed or experienced directly. According to a recent report by the Department of Veterans Affairs USA, of the 6 million Veterans who served in fiscal year 2021, abou…

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 v…

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…
