    #69 - Screen Time Isn’t the Problem: Cyber Trauma, AI, and Raising Kids Online | Dr Catherine Knibbs (PhD)

    Catherine Knibbs is a leading cyber trauma expert and online safety specialist who helps parents, schools, and organisations understand how the digital world is shaping behaviour, mental health, and family life. In this episode, we go deeper than the usual “screen time” debate and unpack what’s really happening to kids online. We talk about the risks and reality of AI and the release of ads on ChatGPT, why online exposure can create real-world trauma responses, and what practical boundaries actually help in modern households. Catherine shares clear guidelines for parents, why staying relevant matters more than being strict, how “phubbing” impacts children, and why gaming and digital habits are becoming such a big part of adult life too. We also cover Australia’s under-16 social media ban, what it could change, and what it won’t. If you’re a parent, educator, or just trying to be more intentional with technology at home, this conversation will give you a much smarter framework than simply counting hours.

    #66 - IBS Explained: What Actually Helps Your Gut | Kirsten Jackson

    I’m joined by Kirsten Jackson, an IBS dietitian who helps people make sense of their gut symptoms and build an approach that works. We cut through the noise around IBS and get clear on what it is, why it is often misunderstood, and what actually moves the needle. Kirsten shares her own IBS story, plus the practical foundations she focuses on with clients, including sleep, stress, exercise, caffeine, and bowel health basics. She also breaks down the Bristol stool chart in a way that makes sense, and talk about the rising conversation around bowel cancer and why awareness matters. If you have ever been told “it’s all in your head”, feel confused about trigger foods, or want a calmer gut without living on an overly restrictive diet, this episode will help.

    I’m joined by Jack Hallows for a raw, honest conversation covering the stuff most men avoid. Jack opens up about his experience with an eating disorder, how he first got into the fitness industry, and the lessons that shaped how he trains and coaches today. We also get practical, breaking down his approach to training volume and gut health, plus he shares the 10 exercises he’d pick if he could only do ten for the rest of his life. | To wrap it up, Jack gives us a quote, a book, and a habit that helps him get better every day.
