    Episode 115: Is Your Acne Hormonal - or Is Something Else Driving It? Part 1

    Acne is often blamed on hormones — but what if there’s more going on beneath the surface? In Part 1 of our acne series, we break down acne as a chronic inflammatory skin condition and explore some of the key factors that may be driving breakouts from within. We discuss how hormonal fluctuations, androgen activity, blood-sugar regulation, stress, inflammation, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome can all influence the skin — and why simply looking at testosterone on a blood test may not tell the whole story. We dive into: How to recognise when acne may have a hormonal componentWhy you can experience androgen-driven acne even with “normal” testosteroneThe role of DHT, SHBG, insulin and IGF-1 in oil production and breakoutsWhy blood-sugar regulation matters for skin healthHow stress, nutrient status, inflammation and oxidative stress may contributeWhy finding the underlying drivers is so important when acne keeps returningPlus, we explain why treatment needs to consider the full symptom picture, rather than focusing on one hormone, one food or one skincare product. Coming up in Part 2: we’ll take a deeper look at the gut-skin connection, your skin microbiome and the role of diet — including how what you eat can help create the foundations for healthier skin.

    Episode 114: We’re Health Practitioners… So Why Do We Still Have Health Issues?

    If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I still dealing with this? I’ve done everything right” — this episode is for you. As health practitioners, we spend our days helping other people understand and support their bodies. But that doesn’t mean our own health is perfect. We still experience bloating, hormonal symptoms, gut issues, autoimmune concerns, stress and seasons where our bodies need more support. And that’s exactly what we wanted to talk about. In this episode, Kirsty, Nicole and Alex get vulnerable about the health concerns we’re still navigating ourselves — and why we no longer see health as something you eventually “fix”. We unpack the pressure to find the one diet, supplement, test or practitioner that will finally give you all the answers, why symptoms returning doesn’t mean you’re back at square one, and what a practitioner’s role in your health journey should actually look like. We also explore why supporting your health often requires more than nutrition alone — from psychology and somatic therapy to understanding the role stress and past experiences can play in physical symptoms. Because health isn’t a finish line where you finally become symptom-free forever. It’s learning to understand your body, recognising what it needs in different seasons, and building the tools and support network to meet those needs. If you feel like you’ve been doing “all the right things” and wondering why you’re not completely fixed yet, we hope this episode changes the way you think about your health journey.

    Episode 113: Is mould the cause of your unexplained health issues?

    Could mould be the missing piece in persistent fatigue, brain fog, sinus issues, skin flare ups or gut dysfunction? In this episode, we’re joined by Emily, our clinical Naturopath at Pure Health, to unpack the often confusing world of mould related illness. We explore what mould and mycotoxins actually are, where exposure can occur and why one person may become unwell while others in the same environment experience no symptoms at all. We also discuss: The signs that prompt us to investigate mould exposure Why your home or workplace history matters The wide range of symptoms associated with mould related illness VCS screening, urinary mycotoxin testing and environmental testing Our clinical approach, from reducing exposure and supporting elimination to rebuilding gut, immune and nervous system health Why binders and “detox” protocols aren’t appropriate for everyone Mould can be a significant contributor to chronic illness, but it isn’t the answer for every person or every symptom. There is no single test that tells the whole story, and successful treatment almost always begins with identifying and addressing the source of exposure. If you’ve ever wondered whether mould could be affecting your health or you’re struggling to improve despite doing “all the right things”, this episode will help you understand what to investigate and where to begin.

    Episode 112: Your Winter Health Reset – How to Stay Healthy & Motivated During Winter

    In this week's episode of The Pure Health Podcast, Kirsty and Nicole dive into why staying healthy during winter feels so much harder than it does in summer—and why the answer isn't simply to "find more motivation." As the weather gets colder, mornings get darker and routines begin to shift, many of us start to lose the healthy habits that once felt effortless. From skipping workouts and drinking less water to craving comfort foods and struggling to get out of bed, they explore why these changes are completely normal and why your routine should evolve with the seasons rather than stay the same all year round. The episode unpacks practical, evidence-based strategies to help you stay consistent throughout winter, including supporting your circadian rhythm, improving sleep, nourishing your body with seasonal foods, maintaining movement in a realistic way, and creating habits that work with your lifestyle instead of against it. If you've ever found yourself saying, "I'll get back into it when the weather warms up," this episode will help you reframe your approach to winter and give you the tools to finish the season feeling healthy, energised and consistent.

    Episode 111: From Self-Doubt to Self-Trust: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

    In this week's episode of The Pure Health Podcast, Kirsty and Nicole dive into imposter syndrome—why so many capable, high-achieving people struggle with self-doubt, and why those feelings don't simply disappear with success. Drawing on their own experiences as practitioners and business owners, Kirsty and Nicole share the moments they've questioned themselves, from seeing their first clients and hiring their first team members to launching a podcast, building a business, and stepping into completely new challenges. They explore why imposter syndrome is so common among intelligent, caring people, and how comparison, perfectionism, and the pressure to "know it all" can keep us feeling like we're never enough. The episode also unpacks practitioner-specific and business owner imposter syndrome, why confidence is built through action rather than waiting until you feel ready, and practical strategies to help you build self-trust, quiet self-doubt, and take the next step despite uncertainty. If you've ever felt like you're not experienced enough, worried you'll be "found out," or held yourself back because you didn't feel confident, this episode is a reminder that growth always begins outside your comfort zone.

Alex opens up about her personal health journey, navigating life as a mum of two, and how being diagnosed with ADHD completely changed the way she approaches health, routines, food, movement, and self-care. Together, we explore the pressure women often feel to “do it all,” the burnout that can come from chasing perfection, and why sustainable health habits need to work with your brain — not against it. From ADHD-friendly wellness hacks and low-capacity meal ideas to nervous system support, realistic routines, and letting go of wellness guilt, this episode is packed with relatable, practical advice for overwhelmed mums trying to prioritise their health without adding more stress to their plate. If you’ve ever struggled with consistency, felt mentally overloaded, or wondered how to stay healthy when life feels chaotic, this episode will remind you that wellness doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.

    Episode 107: The Hidden Hormone Imbalances Stopping You From Losing Weight - part 2

    In this week’s episode of The Pure Health Podcast, Part 2 of the Hidden Hormone Imbalances Stopping You From Losing Weight, we dive into three key hormones that can make or break your ability to lose weight: insulin, cortisol, and low testosterone. Kirsty and Nicole unpack how chronic stress and elevated cortisol keep your body in survival mode—driving cravings, disrupting blood sugar, and making fat loss feel impossible. We explore insulin resistance, why it keeps your body stuck in fat storage, and why so many people feel like nothing is working despite doing everything “right.” We also cover the often-overlooked role of low testosterone in women, and how it impacts muscle, metabolism, energy, and motivation. If you’re feeling stuck, inflamed, or frustrated with your progress, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on—and where to start.
