  1. Exercise and Menopause - With Dr. Wendy Sweet

    Exercise and Menopause - With Dr. Wendy Sweet

    There is a lot of information available about dealing with menopause - some of it confusing and some of it contentious. In this episode, we invited Menopause expert, Dr Wendy Sweet, back onto our show to talk more specifically about exercise and menopause - what happens to our bodies when we exercise during menopause and what type of exercise should we be aiming to sustain? Dr Wendy Sweet is the founder of "My Menopause Transformation," where she works with women globally to support them through the menopause transition. Wendy is a former registered nurse and was one of the early drivers of personalised training within the fitness industry.  She went on to do her Masters in Lifestyle Behaviour and a Ph.D. in nutrition and healthy aging. As part of her Menopause Transformation programme, Wendy has developed a range of personalised programmes for women going through perimenopause and menopause – acknowledging that every woman is different and will approach these years with different health states and different levels of knowledge about what their bodies are going through and the changes they can make to make life easier. https://www.mymenopausetransformation.com/  @MyMenopauseTransformation @my_menopause_transformation  Zestt Wellness: https://zesttwellness.com

  2. Moving for those with chronic pain

    Moving for those with chronic pain

    In this episode of Wellness for the Rest of Us we speak with DK Ciccone, a certified pilates instructor for chronic pain and rehabilitation. Since CK was 13 years old, she has battled with her own chronic pain with no root cause.  Just when she felt she would never find joy in movement, she discovered pilates. Pilates helped her manage her own pain and find a sense of freedom in her body that she hadn't felt in years. Her mission became finding ways to help others find the same joy and freedom trough improving strength and mobility. For CK, and like many others, chronic pain will always be part of her story, but how she manages it and lives with it now, can be an inspiration to others.

  4. Fancy living to 500?

    Fancy living to 500?

    In this Wellness for the Rest of Us podcast episode, we speak with longevity advocate, Marek Piotrowski.  Marek is currently on a quest, he is traveling around the world, with his son Alex to explore the frontiers of research and thinking around longevity and radical life extension. Longevity is on the brink of becoming one of the world's most rapidly expanding industries. Over the past eight years, it has steadily gained momentum, championed by a dedicated group of pioneers. Yet, the general public has mostly regarded it as wellness, peculiar, or science fiction. Today, longevity is transforming into a tangible reality. A growing number of start ups and major players are joining forces with esteemed scientists, and research labs, propelling the field forward. Marek and his son are touring the world for one year, searching for the best solutions that would ultimately help us live to 500 or longer... and their intent is to also have a whole lot of fun along the way.

    Questions you should ask your dentist - with Russel McLean

    Russel McLean is a retired holistic dentist.  He listened to our podcast with Dr Wendie Trubow (Everyday toxins in our lives) and reached out to discuss with us what he has seen in his many years working within the dentistry industry - first as a conventional dentist, then as a holistic dentist. Russel is highly thought of in the health sector within Dunedin and we have met many of his ex-patients who could not speak highly enough of him.  In this podcast episode we discuss the history of amalgam fillings and mecury toxicity (about half of amalgam fillings are liquid mercury, a liquid metal known to be highly toxic to nerve and brain tissue) and what you should be looking out for.  We also discuss options for good oral healthcare - understanding, this is not only important for the health of our mouth, but also the health of our heart, respiratory system and brain.

    Metabolic Health & Continuous Glucose Monitoring with Dr. Paul Kolodzik

    How is your metabolic health, are you worried about diabetes? Are you in the pre-diabetic camp?  Are you too scared to find out? In our podcast with Dr. Paul Kolodzik we explore the early warning signs of pre-diabetes and discuss that there are many people out there suffering from metabolic issues who don't even know it.  The thing is, when we know about it, we can do something about it and that is where Continous Glucose Monitoring as a tool to manage metabolic health can make a huge difference to your overall health and lifespan. Paul spent twenty-five years in the ER , and now he's helping patients avoid the medical conditions that cause ER visits in the first place. Paul is an ER doc turned metabolic health specialist, Board Certified in both Emergency Medicine and Preventive Medicine. He has a thriving practice helping patients prevent and reverse disease: obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol, prediabetes, fatty liver disease, GERD, etc., etc., etc. His secret weapon is the continuous glucose monitor (CGM). CGMs – those devices that provide 24/7 blood glucose readings, are not just for diabetics anymore! Paul believes in CGMs for weight loss and better health so much that he wrote a book about it: The Continuous Glucose Monitor Revolution ... For Nondiabetics. In the book he covers a lot: CGMs, insulin resistance, low carb and keto, intermittent fasting, even the new FDA-approved weight loss medications like Ozempic. https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulkolodzik/  @MetabolicMD @metabolicmds
