    EP: 12. Rewiring your Mind with Rafa Tadielo

    Why do we keep falling back into the same habits… even when we know what to do? In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Life Coach and Hypnotherapist Rafa Tadielo to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface when it comes to behaviour change. We dive into how the subconscious mind shapes our daily choices, why willpower isn’t enough, and how deeply ingrained patterns can keep us stuck in cycles around food, health, and self-sabotage. Rafa shares practical insights into how hypnotherapy and mindset work can help rewire these patterns, allowing change to feel easier, more natural, and long-lasting. This episode is for you if you feel like: • You “know what to do” but can’t seem to stick to it • You’re constantly starting over • You want a deeper understanding of why change feels so hard • You’re ready to approach your health in a completely different way This is about changing the way your mind works with you, not against you.

    EP:11. Why Bloating is not about the Food!

    Bloating is one of the most common concerns I hear, and often, it leads to cutting out more and more foods with little relief. In this episode, we shift the focus away from “what to avoid” and instead explore why your body is reacting in the first place. You’ll learn how bloating is often a sign of poor digestion rather than a specific food intolerance. We cover common triggers, but more importantly, the root causes — including low stomach acid, gut imbalances, stress, hormones, and slowed digestion. I also touch on: • The gut–stress connection and why your nervous system matters • Hormonal influences on bloating (especially for women) • Common gut conditions like IBS and SIBO • The link between constipation and bloating • Simple, practical ways to start supporting your gut If you feel like you’re reacting to everything you eat, this episode will help you understand why — and what you can start doing about it. Bloating isn’t random. It’s a message from your body.

    EP:10. Tired all the Time? What your body is trying to tell you

    Tired all the time, even when you’re trying to do all the right things? In this episode, we go beyond the usual advice of “get more sleep” and dive into what’s really going on inside your body when your energy is low. We talk about the tiny powerhouses inside your cells (your mitochondria) and why they play such a crucial role in how energised, focused, and resilient you feel day to day. You’ll learn: Why fatigue isn’t always about sleep What’s really happening at a cellular level The signs your body is struggling to produce energy Simple, practical ways to support your energy naturally If you’ve been feeling flat, foggy, or like your body just isn’t bouncing back the way it used to, this episode will help you understand why — and what you can start doing about it.

    EP: 9. Making the Switch to a Wholefood Diet

    Thinking about eating healthier, but feeling overwhelmed by where to start? In this episode, Rachelle breaks down how to transition to a whole-food way of living in a way that feels simple, realistic, and sustainable, not restrictive or complicated. You’ll learn what “whole foods” really mean, why ultra-processed foods keep you stuck in cravings, and how small, consistent changes can completely shift your energy, metabolism, and relationship with food. Rachelle shares practical, everyday strategies, including how to assess what’s currently in your kitchen, simple swaps you can start making today, how to build a nourishing pantry without wasting money, and how to keep meals easy while still supporting your health goals. This episode is all about progress over perfection and meeting yourself where you’re at and building habits that actually last. If you’ve ever felt like healthy eating is “too hard” or “too expensive,” this is the reset you need.

    EP6: Clearing the Brain Fog

    Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why? Lost your words mid-sentence? Felt like your thoughts were moving through mud? In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most common (and frustrating) symptoms I see in clinic - Brain fog. Brain fog is a signal that something in the body is out of balance. Whether it’s blood sugar crashes, chronic stress, hormonal shifts in perimenopause, nutrient deficiencies, gut issues, infections, poor sleep, or histamine overload… your brain is often the first place you feel it. In this episode, you’ll learn: • What brain fog is (and why it’s not “just in your head”) • The 8 most common root causes • How blood sugar, stress, hormones, and gut health impact mental clarity • The connection between sleep and cognitive performance • Practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies you can start immediately • Evidence-informed supplements that may support focus and clarity If you’ve been feeling forgetful, scattered, low in focus, or just “not yourself,” this episode will help you understand why, and more importantly, what you can do about it. You don’t have to accept brain fog as part of being busy, ageing, or overwhelmed. There are answers, and there are solutions. If this resonates, share it with someone who needs it, and if you’d like deeper support, The Whole Health Revolution is here for you.

    EP5: Let's Talk about Sleep!!

    Sleep is one of the most powerful, and most overlooked foundations of good health.   In this episode of The Whole Health Revolution, Rachelle unpacka why sleep impacts everything from energy, mood, hormones, and metabolism to cravings, weight, and long-term health. We explore what’s really happening in the body when sleep is disrupted, including the role of stress hormones, blood sugar instability, and perimenopause-related changes.  I also talk through common (and often missed) sleep disruptors such as sleep apnoea, everyday habits that sabotage deep rest, and why waking at 2–3am is so common. You’ll learn practical, evidence-based strategies to support better sleep, including food choices, evening routines, lifestyle shifts, and supplements that can help calm the nervous system and support hormone balance. If sleep has been a struggle, or you wake feeling tired despite enough hours, this episode will help you understand why, and where to start making meaningful change.
