    #154: The Biggest Myths Women Are Taught About Pain, Exercise, and Injury - Physio Nouran Khaled Explains

    In this episode of The Kate Hamilton Health Podcast, I sit down with Chartered Physiotherapist Nouran Khaled to discuss one of the biggest barriers holding women back from exercise: fear of pain, injury, and “doing it wrong.” If you’ve ever felt scared to lift weights, worried that exercise will make your back pain worse, or unsure how to start after time off, this conversation will change how you think about movement. Nouran explains why strong, well-taught movement is one of the most powerful tools we have for injury prevention, pain relief, and long-term independence - especially for busy women navigating work, family, stress, and aging. We also chat about: Why so many women feel fragile in their bodies How to rebuild confidence after injury or setbacks Why strength training matters more than ever as we get older How to train smart even when trends like Hyrox, marathons, and high-intensity workouts are everywhereEPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: 00:00: Introduction to the podcast and Nouran Khaled 01:50: Nouran’s mission to empower confident movement 02:40: Fear, injury myths, and why people avoid exercise 04:12: What really helps back pain 06:37: Understanding the hinge movement 12:43: Why strength training becomes more important as you age 14:42: Fitting exercise into a busy life 17:27: Mental health and movement 20:06: How to start small and stay consistent 25:10: Muscle soreness vs injury 33:27: Why commitment matters in physiotherapy 34:05: Breaking cycles with Nourish Her coaching 37:55: Self-care, burnout and balance 42:06: Impatience and progress 48:53: Hyrox marathons & fitness trends 56:11: Quick fire questions 57:57: Final thoughts & where to find Nouran Links & Resources: Connect with me on Instagram here Learn more about KHH coaching here Connect with Nour on Instagram here Visit the Belvedere Clinic website hereIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with friends who might benefit.

    #153: Kathryn Stewart on Missing Periods & Hypothalamic Amenorrhea: Food, Exercise, and Female Health

    In this episode of the Kate Hamilton Health Podcast, I am joined by registered dietitian and sports nutritionist Kathryn Stewart to discuss Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA) - a condition where periods stop due to under-fueling, over-exercising, and perceived stress on the body. Kathryn explains what HA actually is, why it’s becoming increasingly common, and why so many women are told their missing period is “normal” or nothing to worry about. Drawing on both clinical expertise and personal experience, she shares her own journey with HA, the lack of education and support she encountered, and how that shaped her work supporting women today. Together, we explore: Why period loss is a health signal, not something to ignore The role of energy availability, nutrition, and exercise in cycle health Common misconceptions around carbs, fats, fasting, and “healthy” habits Why HA affects more than fertility - including bone, heart, and mental health What restoring your period actually involves, and why it can feel harder before it feels betterEPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: 00:00: Introduction & why this conversation matters 02:13: Meet Kathryn Stewart & her mission 03:00: Kathryn personal experience with losing her period 05:10: What is Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA)? 06:36: How food, exercise & “invisible stress” affect the cycle 11:45: Hormones, misdiagnosis & why HA is often missed 24:08: Long-term health consequences of missing periods 27:06: Bone health, calcium & estrogen’s role 32:48: Kathryn’s clinic approach to period recovery 34:56: Breakfast, snacks & under-fueling patterns 35:28: Fueling exercise without giving up movement 37:26: Why fasting often backfires for hormonal health 39:30: Eating more: fear, bloating & the “speed bump” phase 42:59: Balancing carbs, fats & protein properly 45:38: Planning meals for busy schedules 49:13: Mindset, mental health & rebuilding trust with food 54:00: Individualised exercise adjustments 56:26: Quickfire questions 58:49: Final thoughts & where to find Kathryn Links & Resources: Connect with me on Instagram here Learn more about KHH coaching here Connect with Kathryn on Instagram here Visit Kathryn’s website hereIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with friends who might benefit.

    #152: Nathan Joseph on Mental Health, Fitness & What Real Wellness Actually Looks Like

    Mental health and fitness are often talked about separately - but in real life, they’re deeply connected. In this episode of the Kate Hamilton Health Podcast, I am joined by Nathan Joseph, online fitness coach, content creator, and founder of the Lazy Cooking Association, for an honest conversation about mental health, movement, and what sustainable wellness actually looks like away from perfection or extremes. Nathan shares his personal experience with mental health struggles, the role exercise played in supporting his recovery, and how his approach to training has shifted from aesthetics to long-term health. Together, we discuss consistency over perfection, navigating setbacks, and building routines that support both mental and physical wellbeing in real life. This is a grounded, open conversation for anyone who wants to take care of their health without pressure - and without the all-or-nothing mindset.

    If you’ve ever felt like your hormones are “off”, your digestion isn’t great, and stress is constantly bubbling under the surface - this episode will help you make sense of why. In this episode of the Kate Hamilton Health Podcast, I am joined by Orla O’Flaherty, a herbalist, naturopath, and somatic therapist specialising in women’s health. Together, we explore how chronic stress shows up in the body, why gut health plays such a key role in hormonal balance, and how working with the nervous system can support real, lasting change.

    #150: Matt Cooke on True Manifestation - Why Wanting Isn't Enough (and What Actually Works)

    In this episode, I am joined by Matt Cooke - international speaker, author of Beyond Wanting, and manifestation coach - for an honest conversation about what manifestation actually is (and what it isn’t). Rather than “wish it and wait,” Matt breaks down why true manifestation starts with who you’re being, not just what you want. Drawing on both science and spirituality, he shares how slowing down the nervous system, regulating the mind, and reconnecting with yourself can completely change how you create change in your life. Matt also opens up about his own journey - from a high-pressure corporate career to a more aligned, authentic way of living - including a deeply personal experience that reshaped his understanding of intuition, trust, and purpose. We cover: Why wanting something isn’t enough to create real change The role of the nervous system, energy, and mindset in manifestation How to quiet the mind and reconnect with intuition The balance between ambition, gratitude, and surrender Simple, practical tools you can try - without overwhelmEPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: 00:00: Introduction: what conscious creation really means 00:22: Meeting Matt Cook 02:37: From corporate life to conscious living 05:32: A personal turning point and deep intuition 08:31: Energy, frequency & awareness (without the fluff) 11:35: Ego, identity, and the role of the “I” 19:49: Manifestation: science, spirituality, and reality 32:33: Practical ways to slow the mind 33:31: Kinetic meditation & visualisation 36:26: Journaling, grounding, and everyday practices 38:10: Learning to trust yourself 46:59: Balancing gratitude with goals 51:22: Authenticity and sustainable manifestation 01:00:22: Final reflections Links & Resources: Connect with me on Instagram here Learn more about KHH coaching here Connect with Matt on Instagram hereIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with friends who might benefit.

    In this episode, I am joined by wellness expert and author Miriam Hussey for a conversation about reconnecting with yourself, creating more balance, and finding your inner light again. Miriam shares the core message behind her book Light Up and her mission to help people feel more connected, calm, and empowered in their everyday lives. We explore why so many of us live in “head mode,” constantly rushing, and how shifting into a more heart-centred, values-led way of living can transform both health and happiness. Miriam breaks down how the body, mind, and soul work together, and why true wellbeing depends on nurturing all three. You’ll hear practical, down-to-earth tools for slowing down, managing stress, supporting emotional health, and creating moments of calm in a busy world.
