    #395 - The nuanced truth about intuitive eating vs structure with Peta Kelly

    A few weeks ago, I interviewed @petajean on the podcast.  I just love her and her perspective. We yapped for so bloody long that I split it into two, so this is part two of the episode. Something came up at the end of this podcast with Peta that I think a lot of women need to hear. Someone in my community had bought her book and left a comment saying, doesn't Peta believe in just eating intuitively? Isn't that what she teaches? Why would she join a structured programme? I love this question because it gets to the heart of something we get wrong about intuitive eating all the time. Intuitive eating is the goal. Genuinely. Once you understand your body, once you have built the foundation of knowing what you actually need, you should be eating in a way that feels natural and effortless. But you can not intuitively eat if you have no idea what your body needs.  And a lot of women who think they are eating intuitively are just undereating and calling it intuition. Peta joined our program because she wanted specific results. She wanted to get stronger. She wanted accountability. She wanted someone to see things she could not see herself. And she is honest enough to admit that there is nothing wrong with that. Structure is not the enemy of freedom. Done right, it is how you get there. She also said something I think about a lot, that it is okay to want to be leaner, stronger, more toned.  You are allowed to want that. You are allowed to work for it. It does not make you vain or disordered or not aligned with body positivity. It just has to come from love, not punishment. This is part 2, if you haven’t listened to part 1 go back and listen to it first.

    #394 - The counterintuitive truth about health obsession with Peta Kelly

    I came across Peta years ago when we were both in Isagenix.  We then crossed paths again when she started using Saturée skincare and I sent her some of our new Methlyne Blue serum to try.  She even did a block of coaching with Nyssa in our 16 week WinAtLife Accelerator program because she wanted a challenge.   I just love her and her perspective on things so I invited her to come onto the podcast for a chin wag! I've been sitting with something she said in this week's podcast and I can't get it out of my head. She talked about having all the gear. The sauna. The biomat. The oxygen machine that was still sitting in the box she never opened. The whole house water filter. Years of studying health science and metabolism. And she was more anxious, more controlled, and less free than she'd ever been. It wasn't until she spent time in Italy watching the nonnas just eat, no protocols, no biohacking, no stress about it, that she realised something had quietly gone wrong. The more you learn, the more you believe you need a perfect regime to be okay and before you know it, the obsession with optimising your health is actually the thing making you sick. Not in your body. In your head.  In how small your life has become. "you go from seeking health to become more free, to using health to be more controlled." I see this with some of the women who come to work with us. Doing everything right on paper. Eating well, supplementing, sleeping okay and still not feeling great When we dig in, what we find isn't a missing supplement. It's that they're running at 150% with no joy. No rest. No alignment. Relationships that drain them. A life they're not enjoying. Joy is pro-metabolic. Alignment is pro-metabolic. Your relationships, your creativity, whether you feel safe in your life, all of it affects your metabolism. Peta said something I want every woman listening to actually hear: What you believe about your body matters more than what you eat. We yapped for so long I split it into two episodes. This is part 1.

    #393 - You didn't fall into the perimenopause hole. You built up to it with Kitty Martone

    Most women think perimenopause just happened to them. It didn't. Your 30s were the set up. The skipped meals, the 12-hour days, the normalised stress, the sleep you pushed through. Your body was compensating the whole time. Perimenopause just removed the buffer. The good news is you didn't break anything. You depleted your resources. And you can absolutely build them back. I did a deep dive on this with my friend Kitty Martone @healthygutgirlofficial on episode 393 of the podcast. She is one of the sharpest minds on progesterone and hormonal health, and we got into exactly why the foundations have to come first before anything else will work. We also talked about her incredible new book, Balance Matters: Rethinking Estrogen, Reclaiming Progesterone, Restoring Hormonal Stability.

    #392 - From Leukaemia to Stronger Than Ever: One Woman's Comeback at 42 with Katie

    Katie came on the podcast this week and said something I haven't stopped thinking about. "If you think investing in your health is expensive, get cancer. When you're lying in a hospital bed, you don't care about money. You would pay anything." She's 42. Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia in 2024. Medically induced coma. 10 weeks in hospital. Learned to walk and write her name again from scratch. The chemo put her into menopause at 39. Overnight. She came out the other side completely hormonally wrecked and like so many of you, found herself drowning in conflicting information about what to do with her body. What moved the needle wasn't restriction. Wasn't fasting. Wasn't the 1500 calories and six days of training she used to do. It was eating more. More carbs specifically. Lifting three days a week. And having someone help her drown out the noise. Today she's stronger than before cancer. Better body composition. Blood work improving every check.

    #389 - From Anaphylaxis to Antihistamine-Free: How Bethany Healed Her Body, Built a Lean Athletic Physique, and is now deadlifting double her body weight with Bethany Arbuckle

    Bethany was a nurse doing a PhD, competing in triathlons every fortnight, surviving on 4–6 antihistamines a day, and terrified to eat a sweet potato. She thought she was doing everything right. She wasn't. And honestly? It's not her fault. No one teaches women this stuff. Bethany is 36, lives on an acreage in Australia, and has been in our programme for just over 13 months.  In this episode she shares EVERYTHING and I mean everything. Here's what her life looked like before:  👉Three episodes of anaphylaxis in a single week at age 30 👉Eliminated nuts, eggs, dairy, gluten, soy basically anything she could think of  👉Low-carb dieting + excessive exercise (triathlon racing every fortnight — insane) 👉Weighing herself daily and letting a 0.2kg increase wreck her entire mood 👉Deep, genuine fear of food even normal things like sweet potato  👉4–6 antihistamines every single day just to avoid a reaction And here's where she is now: ✅ZERO antihistamines for the last 3 months ✅Eating 2,000+ calories a day with 260g of carbs ✅Deadlifting 115kg for 7 reps (double her body weight, she started at 60kg 👀) ✅Going for 120kg by end of the month ✅Reintroduced foods she hadn't eaten in over 5 years including dairy ice cream ✅No fear of food. No spiralling over the scales. No more self-destruction disguised as discipline. ✅And the mindset shifts? Just as powerful as the physical ones. She talked about how she learned that weight is just data, not a verdict on who she is. How she went from bottling up that brutal inner critic to actually saying it out loud and working through it. How she cut her work hours back (something she never would have had the confidence to do before). And how last week for the first time in as long as she can remember she had a full week of just... peace. If you've been grinding yourself into the ground thinking MORE is the answer, this episode is for you.

    #388 - Why the Sun Isn't Your Enemy: The Truth About Light, Skin Cancer, and Your Circadian Biology with Zaid K Dahhaj

    The sun has been demonised for decades. Slip, slop, slap. Cover up. Wear SPF. Avoid UV at all costs. And yet… skin cancers are still rising. People who've never been in the sun are getting them on the bottoms of their feet, on their backs, in places that see zero sunlight.  My own family who've avoided the sun their whole lives have all had skin cancers removed. My brother, who never got sun, had stage four sarcoma. And when we got him eating properly, supplementing, changing his lifestyle and yes, getting daily sunlight his body responded brilliantly to chemo. His oncologist said he'd never seen anything like it. So what's actually going on? I brought Zaid Dahhaj onto the podcast this week to take a deep dive. He is a circadian biology educator to talk more about the sun. We get into: — Why melanin is NOT a sign of skin damage (and why calling it that has some seriously problematic roots)  — The real reason people are developing cancer in sun-deprived areas of their body — What your morning light actually does to your hormones, neurotransmitters, and anti-cancer defences  — Why SPF is blocking the ONE wavelength your body uses to make vitamin D3  — How to sunbathe progressively without burning (think: progressive overload, but for your skin)  — What to do at night to maximise repair and melatonin production  — Whether vitamin D supplements are actually cutting it — And what to do if you live in the UK, Ireland, or anywhere you're not getting much sun This is one of those episodes that makes you want to go outside immediately after listening.
