Gundi Rhoades is an author, vet, farmer, mother and nature lover.  She has written the revolutionary book The Food Solution.  Kim and Cyndi quiz her about how we can be part of the solution to look after health and planet health rather than being part of the problem.  We may only be 2 people but if everyone does the right thing by making sure we consume food grown in ecologically rich soils, nor sprayed with chemicals then collectively we can change the trajectory of human, animal and planet health.  Cyndi and Kim and such fun with Gundi, she is intelligent, funny, witty, serious and above all an inspiration.

It’s official, Kim and Cyndi have a new crush.  Dr Michelle Woolhouse’s interview was the most heart warming experience for our two chatters.  They talked about the medical model, how it needs to change one practitioner at a time, how 35% of Australian GP’s now call themselves integrative and that more and more were realizing the importance of wholistic health care and not reductionism.  Dr Woolhouse talks about what Evidence Based Medicine is, it is not just about the science but also the clinical judgement by the doctor and the patient values and preferences. The heart was a big topic, not just the physical but so much more.

Dr Ron Ehrlich is a veteran in the integrative and wholistic health space.  It was soon after graduation from Dentistry that he realized that the mouth was connected to the rest of the body and the mouth was the beginning of the gut and airways, this aha moment took him on the biggest education ride of his life and he has not stopped learning, 43 plus years later. He believes that the more he knows the more he doesn’t know.  He is innovative, unrelenting in his pursuit to help people and a visionary in his field and many other fields.   Kim and Cyndi learn about his journey and what he is doing now.  His love for humanity drives him to do more and he believes we need to start with the education of our corporates and teenagers.
