    Episode 104: Parasite Cleanses: Do You Actually Need One?

    Parasite cleanses are everywhere right now — all over TikTok, Instagram and the wellness space — with influencers claiming that everyone has parasites and should be cleansing them regularly. But how much of this is actually true? In this episode of the Pure Health Podcast, we’re joined by naturopath Em from Pure Health Nutrition to unpack the science behind parasites, when they’re actually a problem, and why DIY parasite cleanses can sometimes do more harm than good. We discuss what parasites really are, how common they are in Australia, and the symptoms someone might experience if they truly had one. Em also explains why parasite cleanses have become such a viral trend online, and what people are often actually seeing during these cleanses that they believe are “worms”. Most importantly, we dive into the potential risks of self-prescribing parasite cleanses, including gut irritation, microbiome disruption, liver stress, and masking the real cause of digestive symptoms. We also talk about the right way to approach parasite concerns, including proper testing, when treatment is actually necessary, and what evidence-based care looks like in clinic. If you’ve ever wondered whether you should be doing a parasite cleanse — or if you’ve been told “everyone has parasites” — this episode will help you separate fact from fiction. In this episode we cover: What parasites actually are How common parasites really are in Australia Symptoms of a true parasitic infection Why parasite cleanses are trending online The truth about what people see during cleanses Risks of DIY parasite cleanses Why testing matters before treatment When parasite treatment is actually necessary Red flags to watch for with online parasite cleanses 🔗 Let’s stay connectedFollow us behind the scenes on Instagram:@purehealthnutrition_@purehealthnutritionclinic

    Episode 104: 15 Biggest Lessons we have Learnt in 7 Years of Building Pure Health

    In this special birthday episode of The Pure Health Podcast, Kirsty and Nicole celebrate 7 years of Pure Health by sharing the most powerful lessons they’ve learnt building a business from the ground up from starting the clinic (when it felt wildly uncomfortable and “wrong”), to growing the podcast, and launching the Wellness Hub app. The girls reflect on the realities of business behind the scenes the risks, the doubt, the criticism, the financial sacrifices, and the constant discomfort of expansion and why success is rarely an overnight moment, but more often the result of slow, consistent effort over years. They also speak candidly about how reinvesting into a growing company can mean taking less pay personally, and why the mission has to be bigger than money if you want to last. A huge focus of the episode is team and culture how the thing they’re most proud of isn’t a product or a revenue milestone, but the team they’ve built and the workplace environment they’ve fought hard to protect. They explain why culture isn’t created through values written on a wall, but through the “battlefield” moments: hiring mistakes, hard conversations, learning to lead, and creating a space where people feel supported, valued, and part of something bigger than themselves. More than anything, this episode is a reminder that building something meaningful will test you but it will also shape you. If you’ve been sitting on an idea, waiting to feel ready, or questioning whether the discomfort means you’re doing the wrong thing… this episode will bring you back to truth: growth happens outside your comfort zone. 🎧 Listen now for an honest, motivating, and deeply relatable conversation about building a business and becoming the person who can hold what you’re creating.
