    She Refused To Let Endometriosis Define Her - Shannons Story

    This week on the Well Body Podcast, I’m joined by the beautiful Shannon - a woman in her mid-twenties openly sharing her journey with endometriosis, PCOS, womanhood, and learning how to reconnect with herself through it all. In this honest and heartfelt conversation, we dive into what it’s really like navigating chronic symptoms, hormonal health struggles, pain, body image, and the emotional weight that can come with living in a female body that feels misunderstood. But this episode isn’t just about diagnosis. It’s about resilience. It’s about rebuilding trust with yourself. It’s about learning that your condition does not have to become your identity. Alongside her health journey, Shannon also opens up about taking a leap into entrepreneurship, believing in herself again, and creating a life that supports her wellbeing instead of constantly working against it. Together, we talk about:  — Living with endometriosis & PCOS in your twenties  — Navigating symptoms, flare-ups & hormonal struggles  — The emotional side of women’s health that often gets overlooked  — Learning to work with your body instead of fighting it  — Lifestyle tools, mindset shifts & supportive habits  — Confidence, self-worth & becoming “her” again  — Taking brave steps toward the life you truly want This episode is a reminder that healing is rarely linear… but you are still allowed to dream, grow, build, and become the woman you want to be along the way. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, frustrated with your hormones, or like your diagnosis has taken over your life - this conversation is for you.

    THIS is the conversation every woman should hear about pelvic floor health.

    In this episode of the Well Body Podcast, Renee sits down with pelvic floor specialist, pre & postnatal personal trainer, and two-time New Zealand Fitness Awards Educator of the Year, Kirsten, for a deeply important conversation around women’s health. Together, they unpack the truth about pelvic floor health - what it actually is, why it matters far beyond pregnancy and postpartum, and how it connects to strength training, breath, core function, nervous system regulation, confidence, and overall wellbeing. This episode dives into: • Common myths around pelvic floor health • Why leaking is common - but not normal • The connection between the pelvic floor, breath, and core • Strength training and pelvic floor support • Pregnancy, postnatal recovery, and returning to exercise safely • Stress, pressure, bloating, and nervous system health • Practical tools every woman can start implementing today This is an empowering, educational conversation designed to help women feel more connected to their bodies and understand that pelvic floor dysfunction is not something they simply have to “put up with.” Because women deserve better education around their bodies - and this truly is a missing piece of the health conversation.

  5. Gut Resets vs Gut Support - Why Extremes Backfire (And What Actually Heals the Gut) - Episode 8

    Gut Resets vs Gut Support - Why Extremes Backfire (And What Actually Heals the Gut) - Episode 8

    Why extremes backfire (and how to rebuild gut health without cutting everything out) Many women feel like they need to completely “reset” their gut in order to feel better. Cut everything out. Start again. Follow strict rules. Avoid entire food groups. Take multiple supplements. But while short-term therapeutic protocols can sometimes be helpful when clinically appropriate and when working alongside a specialist, extreme restriction is often not the long-term solution for better gut health. In many cases, restriction can actually reduce microbial diversity, increase stress around food, and make digestion feel more sensitive over time. In this episode, we explore the difference between gut resets and gut support, why extreme approaches often backfire, and how to rebuild gut health in a sustainable, realistic way. Because gut health is not built through perfection. It is built through consistency. Through nourishment. Through diversity. Through supportive daily habits that work in real life. This episode helps you understand how to support your microbiome, digestion, hormones, and energy without feeling like you need to cut everything out. Welcome to the Well Body Gut Health Series -where we strip away the trends, the fear-mongering, and the supplement hype, and bring you back to what gut health actually means. In this series, we explore: • What your gut microbiome really is (and why it matters) • Gut health and hormones • Gut health and immune function • Gut health and energy • Gut health and weight management • Why tracking calories alone is not the full picture of health You’ll learn how modern life - stress, under-fuelling, ultra-processed foods, poor sleep, and chronic dieting - is quietly disrupting women’s digestive health… and what to do about it. This series is designed to help you feel less confused, less bloated, and more empowered - with practical, science-backed strategies you can actually implement. Because gut health isn’t about being “perfect.” It’s about building a resilient, well-nourished body from the inside out. Want to reset your gut without cutting everything out ??
