Hi! I am a psychologist (& past gut sufferer) interviewing top experts in gut health and wellbeing, and I'm so excited to be connecting you with the expertise that could help you. For nearly 10 years I lived with constant gut pain. I saw expert after expert. Nothing took the pain away. Desperate, I went looking for answers online and found a TSUMANI of contradictory gut health information, leaving me feeling utterly overwhelmed. Eventually, with support, I opened my eyes to a multidimensional approach to my gut health. This changed everything; the pain went away and I found my solution! I hope that you can too.

    Most People Have No Idea What a Healthy Gut Feels Like – with Dr Jason Hawrelak

    How often should you actually be pooing? It's the question most of us quietly wonder but rarely ask out loud. And it turns out that's only the beginning — because there's something equally as important called transit time, and you can test it for free at home! I’m learning that normal gut health, poor gut health and optimal gut health are three very different things, and most of us have no real sense of which one we're living in. Luckily today we have brought in the big guns, the doctor of the gut microbiome! Dr Jason Hawrelak is a naturopathic physician, nutritionist and research scientist with a PhD specifically in the gastrointestinal microbiota, IBS and the clinical use of pre- and probiotics. The gut microbiome literally was his doctorate! He's written 20 textbook chapters and over 30 research publications, and has been in clinical practice for more than 26 years. In other words, if anyone can answer my burning poo-related questions, it's him. What we cover today: How often should we actually poo? What is optimal gut health — and what should it feel like? How do you know if your gut is off? What is transit time, and why does it matter? What are the biggest disruptors to our gut health? How do emulsifiers and additives impact our gut? Is gluten bad for us? Are seed oils bad for us? What other health issues, such as reflux and immune conditions, link to our gut health?

    Don’t Be Fooled: Know Your Farmer, Know the Ecosystem on Your Plate - Your Gut Will Thank You - with Nick Holliday

    Less than a year ago, I didn't even know what "organic" really meant — let alone anything about regenerative farming. Today, passionate farmer Nick Holliday from Belvedere Farm joins me to share what regenerative agriculture and agroecology (that is: farming with nature, not against it) actually look like in practice, which labels to look for when buying good quality produce, and how to connect with your local farmer. Nick has a gift for making it all click, and this episode is seriously eye-opening — because the health of the animals and the land they're raised on doesn't just end up on our plates. It ends up in our guts. Do you live in Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast? Get your ethical, local pasture raised pork, grass fed and finished beef and pasture raised eggs from Nick directly at Belvedere Farm: https://www.belvederefarm.com.au/ Want to find good quality local produce for delivery near you? Google ‘Community Supported Agriculture near me” to find local suggestions of farmers engaging in regenerative, ethical and organic practices.  The Sustainable Table are also compiling a list of regenerative farms around Australia. While the list is incomplete at this stage, it is another great place to start in searching for your local farmer: https://www.sustainabletable.org.au/
