I’m so happy to share with you my latest interview with Cliff Harvey. I have interviewed Cliff in the past but this conversation is next level! In this episode we discuss the hot topic of long COVID and how nutritional deficiencies can play a big part of recovery. But that’s not all we talk about! We touch on the role nutritional deficiencies play in vaccine adverse reactions, miscarriages, hormonal imbalances and more, plus we discuss the opportunity to really optimise a person’s full potential rather than just avoiding illness.

In this episode, I interview Kelly Burton, co-owner of Good Harvest farms, a small-scale organic farm based on the Sunshine Coast that feeds over 1300 families per week. Kelly grew up in the city totally disconnected from her food supply but all that changed when she became pregnant with her first child and her interest in where her food was coming from literally grew into the dream that is now their three organic farms. Kelly’s story is one of passion, growth, and ultimately re-connection, not only with the land but with her customers.

We start the year off with a great chat with Sharon Selby from Deliciously Allergy Free. We delve into Sharon’s own health journey and then the experience of navigating life with an allergy child and how the skills she learned not only reversed her sons' allergies and eczema but led to the creation of this incredible platform with courses and resources for families with allergies. Sharon truly understands that when it comes to improving health outcomes it’s what we do at home, and particularly in the kitchen, that gets the results.  Episode Links: Check out Sharon's website at @deliciouslyallergyfree.com Connect with Sharon via Facebook and Instagram Join the waitlist - Raising Kids With Allergies e-course Join The Allergy Free Club 

I’m super excited for you to listen to this episode with holistic clinical psychologist Didi Cragg. Over the course of my own health journey I've been blessed to work with some fantastic practitioners and Didi is one of them. Didi is super passionate about the gut and mental health connection after her own experiences led her to make the  link between food and mood and symptoms. I know you will love this one so sit back.

Get ready to be inspired. Man was I blown away while interviewing this week’s guest, Lisa Tamati. Her knowledge, energy, enthusiasm, and how she faces challenges head-on are awe-inspiring. Lisa has come from a world of being an extreme endurance athlete, pushing her body both mentally and physically which ultimately prepared her for her biggest challenge, her relentless fight to recover her mum’s health after she suffered a severe aneurysm and resulting brain damage.  I know this episode will leave you with so much hope and insights into the mindset required to tackle life's big challenges.

In this episode I interview Dr. Carrie Rigoni who is a Chiropractor who also specialises in the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is an area of personal fascination for me and it seems there is a huge gap in public awareness around its roles in recovering from a trauma or health crisis to supporting your stress resilience etc. So listen in to learn all about the vagus nerve and how to optimise it.

Today I bring on a dear friend of mine, Cyndi O’Meara, nutritionist, filmmaker and educator, to discuss a hot topic with global relevance - the climate change diet and the vegan diet. I wanted to hash it out with Cyndi, arm myself with more knowledge and make sure I was clearly seeing the whole argument. In typical Cyndi fashion she helps unpack a mass of information in a common sense way. I know you will enjoy this chat, you may feel challenged but you will certainly feel her passion and wisdom shine through.

Gosh, I’m excited for you to listen to this week's chat. In this episode I interview the most successful female surfer in history, Layne Beachley. What I appreciate most from our chat is how Layne reflects on what drove her to win, how she felt like she could never be enough, her lack of self worth and being driven by fear. She shares her evolution of self and how once retired from surfing she really had to dig deep to find where she could improve, to give back to society. Now Layne’s new passion is her Awake Academy which teaches people to detach from fear and learn to live a life they love.  Episode Link: Learn more about Awake Academy
