    SIBO, Methylation & Histamine Intolerance: The gut-skin connection with Joanne Kennedy

    We're replaying an old favourite with the super knowledgeable and lovely Joanne Kennedy - the SIBO, MTHFR & Histamine Intolerance expert. Joanne gives us a complete download of her brain to help us understand methylation and why this is such an important aspect to consider in clients presenting with histamine intolerance. Within the skin, we can see histamine intolerance present in the form of rosacea, peri oral dermatitis, hives, eczema and acne. Now there's a lot of hype around methylation and we can be quick to blame our gene expression such as MTHFR gene mutations as the cause of impaired methylation; but throughout this podcast we quickly turn the spotlight away from one genetic SNP and highlight the burden environmental exposures and gastrointestinal infections can have on methylation. Specifically, we delve into the impacts of SIBO on methylation and how this can impact histamine intolerance.  In this episode, Jacinta & Joanne discuss: What is methylation How much does MTHFR really impact methylation  How to identify red flags in a clients presentation for further investigation What markers to investigate to understand methylation status Causes of high & low homocysteine  Understanding SIBO and it's impact on methylation  Methylation connection with histamine intolerance The methylation, histamine, SIBO, skin and hormone connection   Treatment strategies for supporting methylation  Common errors made in supplementation for methylation  You can learn more about Joanne below:  Website: https://joannekennedy.com.au/ Instagram: @joannekennedynaturopath Music by Wavecont, ⁠https://www.wavecont.com/free-download/⁠Licensed under creative commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International ⁠https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/⁠Music promoted by ⁠https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/

    The steps you need to take to prevent post-pill Acne with Skin Specialising Naturopath Phoebe Ackland

    If you're constantly cycling on and off the pill in the hope that the next time you get off your skin has sorted it's s*** out, then you need to listen to this Unfortunately whilst you're on the pill, it's masking a HUGE underlying driver of acne being hyper-sebum secretion. But there's a lot more to acne than just a hormonal imbalance and many systems of weakness that you can focus on whilst you're on the pill to reduce the likelihood that your acne will come back with a vengeance once you're off the pill. But don't stress, we asked our Post-Pill expert at Orenda Phoebe Ackland to come onto the podcast to share the exact strategy she uses with her clients so they can break the viscous cycle of going on and off the ocp. In this episode, Phoebe will discuss: What post-pill acne is and why it occurs When you need to start the internal work before you come off the pill How the gut, liver, lymphatics and stress response plays a crucial part The importance of good quality skin care Signs to look out for that show you it may not be the best time for you to come off the pill (p.s any time is a good time, but if you want to avoid hectic breakouts once you come off - you have to choose wisely) The diet strategy you need to implement To book in a consultation with Phoebe, head to the link⁠⁠ here⁠⁠ *Disclaimer: The content provided in this podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

    Let's Feast with Paige - Part 1: Debunking & Diagnosing Hypothalamic Amenorrhea

    Having Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA) can be an extremely gruelling journey that can last quite a few years; trust us we’ve seen it in our clients and Paige has personally been through the journey herself. There’s unfortunately a lot of misconception as to what is the “right” approach to getting your period back and the truth is, there isn’t a blanket approach for everyone. In this episode, we debunk so many myths around HA and give you the facts based off the research, our own personal experiences and our experiences working with clients 1:1. In Part 1, we answer a lot of common questions including: What is the diagnostic criteria for HA? How does the diagnostic criteria differ to PCOS?  Can you trigger PCOS in the process of HA recovery?  What is physiologically happening with your hormone secretion and brain during HA? What does body fat percentage have to do with it? (We’ll debunk this?) How much weight do you need to put on to recover your period? How much calories do you need to eat to recover your period? How long will it take to get your period back?  This is just Part 1, in Part 2 we go through so much more in relation to exercise, long term dangers of low estrogen, the role of herbal medicine, HA & fertility, other factors to consider with recovery, medical interventions and so much more.
