    Jenny Smith | The Power of Choice in Labour | Episode 6 Part 2

    What if the way we experience childbirth pain is shaped as much by hormones, breathing, and emotional safety as it is by the physical process itself? Jenny Smith tells Yalda how breath, mindset, and feeling supported can transform the birth experience and help the body release its own natural pain relief. In Part 2 of this conversation, experienced midwife Jenny Smith shares powerful insights into how women can feel calmer and more in control during labour. The discussion explores the role of breathing techniques, visualisation, and sound in helping the body release endorphins, its own natural painkillers. Jenny also explains vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), why listening to the mother’s instincts matters, and how the concept of a “natural cesarean” can create a more connected birth experience through delayed cord clamping and immediate skin-to-skin contact.

She has transformed mainstream labour wards, raising awareness of how infrastructure shapes birth culture — coining the term “Maternity Architecture.”She has received awards for her work, lectured internationally, and is the author of Your Body, Your Baby, Your Birth and co-author of The Natural Caesarean: A Women-Centred Technique.

    Jenny Smith | The Power of Choice in Labour | Episode 6 Part 1

    What if feeling safe, calm, and heard was the most powerful tool you had in labour? Jenny Smith tells Yalda why listening to a mother’s instincts can completely change the birth experience. In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Yalda speaks with midwife Jenny Smith about instinct, calm, and choice in labour.

This conversation is a reminder that every birth is unique, and that informed, supported choice matters.

    Steve Burns | Addiction, Pain and Coping Strategies Ep.4 part 1

    Addiction isn’t the problem. Pain is. Steve Burns explains why healing starts with responsibility, not restraint. What if addiction isn’t about lack of willpower, but about trying to survive emotional pain? In Part 1 of this episode, Yalda sits down again with addiction specialist Steve Burns to unpack what addiction really is and why substances, food, work, or habits are often just coping strategies rather than the root problem. They explore why lasting change only happens when someone chooses it for themselves, how unresolved trauma or emotional imbalance drives addictive behaviours, and why commitment, especially self-commitment, matters more than motivation. This is a powerful conversation about responsibility, healing, and why the body and mind are always wired for recovery.

    Yalda Alaoui | Fatty Liver: A Case Study That Changed Everything Ep.3

    Around one in three adults worldwide now live with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, often without knowing it. In this podcast episode, Yalda explains how fatty liver disease is deeply connected to blood sugar dysregulation, chronic inflammation, cholesterol, and visceral fat, not just alcohol intake. Yalda shares a real client case study that proves this diagnosis doesn’t have to be permanent. Yalda walks through a real case from her private practice. A 34-year-old man with long-standing fatty liver disease was facing medication and injections. Instead, he chose lifestyle change, and the results were extraordinary.

    Matt Roberts | UK’s Top Personal Trainer on GLP-1s and Preserving Muscle Ep. 2 part 2

    Can GLP-1 weight-loss drugs support health — or are we overlooking the long-term cost to muscle, gut health, and longevity?
