    I Wasn't Sick, But I Wasn't Well Either | Sunday's Best Bits

    Tired but not unwell. Eating properly but never quite feeling it. Nothing a test would flag, but nothing that feels right either. If you've ever tried to explain that to someone and come up short, this one is for you. In this week's Sunday's Best Bits, Cassie steps out from behind the mic and shares the story that started it all. From long, salty childhood summers on the Cronulla coast to the Groupon deal that accidentally rewrote her entire career, this is the woman behind In With Cassie in her own words. She talks about the years spent circling healthcare without quite finding her place, the appointment that changed everything, and what it actually felt like to be in that in-between space where you're not sick, but you're not well either. She also opens up about motherhood, identity, and what a real morning looks like in her house. In this episode: Why coastal childhood summers shaped what Cassie values most now, space, slowness, and communityThe healthcare paths she tried first, and why nursing and psychology didn't fitThe Groupon naturopath appointment in her early twenties that changed her direction entirelyWhat "not sick but not well" actually feels like, and why it deserves attentionStudying at Endeavour College of Natural Health and later working alongside the practitioner who inspired herMotherhood as the most beautiful, stretching, identity-shifting experience of her lifeWhy she wanted the marriage more than the weddingCassie's real morning rhythm, from co-sleeping and 5.30am wake-ups to kitchen dance parties and banana oat pancakesThis is a shorter listen, pulled from a longer conversation.

    The Cost of Pushing Through | Sunday's Best Bits

    You're not hungry until you're ravenous. You're not tired until you're completely depleted. If that sounds familiar, your body has probably been sending you messages for a long time and you've been overriding them. In this week's Sunday's Best Bits, Cassie revisits her conversation with Melissa Lever from Body Intuition Collective. Melissa is a physiotherapist with 20 years of experience, a Pilates instructor, clinic owner and mum of three, and her work brings together physiotherapy and interoception, the sense that tells you what's actually happening inside your body. Listen to the full conversation This episode looks at what happens when women spend years putting their own signals last. Why hormonal transitions like puberty, pregnancy, postpartum and perimenopause make those signals harder to read. Why the push through that worked in your twenties and thirties stops working. And what it actually costs when you keep going anyway. Melissa also shares three simple questions you can ask yourself in under two minutes to start rebuilding that connection, no meditation practice required. In this episode: Why hormones and interoception are so closely linked, and what changes through perimenopause Why louder body signals don't mean your body is failing How motherhood shifts your awareness away from yourself and onto everyone else What happens when you teach your brain you'll only listen at the extreme Why eating in the first hour of waking is less about the meal and more about the message The real cost of pushing through a deadline, and whether you can rebuild trust afterwards Connect with Melissa Lever, Body Intuition Collective Cassie Davenport is a degree-qualified naturopath and nutritionist, co-creating achievable and sustainable solutions using evidence-based research combined with traditional herbal medicine.

    When the "Shoulds " Are Calling the Shots | Sunday's Best Bits

    Are you constantly consumed by all of "The Shoulds" ? In this week's Sunday's Best Bits, Cassie unpacks the running commentary most mothers don't even notice they're having with themselves, and the small language shift that changes it. Not a mindset overhaul. Just catching the word "should" as it leaves your mouth and swapping it for "could." She also shares four practical nervous system tools you can use in the middle of a morning that has already gone sideways, because before you can co-regulate with anyone else, whether that's your partner, your parents or your kids, you have to be regulated yourself. Links to the full episode featured here are in the show notes below. This is the reminder you might need before the week starts. In this episode: Why we're so good at listing everything that went wrong and so bad at naming one thing that went rightThe should to could reframe, and how to choose what feels kindest insteadThe best friend test: what you'd say to her if she called you about the cucumbers, and why you'd never say that to yourselfBox breathing, and why a longer exhale mattersThe five, four, three, two, one sensory grounding technique for the mornings that fall apartWhy standing with your back against a wall can help settle an overloaded systemMicro pauses, and how to map the moments in your day that consistently feel hardIf someone came to mind while you were listening, send it to her.

    The Problem with Peptides | Sunday's Best Bits

    Peptides are everywhere right now. Your feed, your group chat, your friend who swears by them. But almost nobody is explaining what they actually are, or how far the evidence has really come. In this Sunday Best Bits, Cassie is joined by Dan Sipple, the functional naturopath, for the conversation that cuts through the noise. What peptides actually are, why the research is younger than the marketing suggests, and the misconception Dan is seeing most in the metabolic space. It's a short one. Under ten minutes. But it might change how you read the next peptide post that lands in your feed. In this episode: What peptides actually are, in plain language, and why some are made by your own bodyWhy Australia's regulation of peptides sits differently to much of the worldWhere the human research is really up to, and why so much of the existing data traces back to Europe and Russia in the 1970s and 80sThe thymus, and the little-known role it plays in telling your immune system what to attack and what to leave aloneT regulatory cells, why they're often low in autoimmunity, and where peptides may fit in the futureDan's honest answer on whether peptides are being oversoldWhy peptides are better thought of as short and sharp rather than long-termThe risks that come with staying on them too longThe biggest misconception Dan is seeing right now in the metabolic space, and what he's observed when people come offThe full conversation with Dan Sipple on gut health, autoimmunity and peptides is available now.

    Why Period Pain Isn't Normal | Sunday's Best Bits

    Period pain is common but it does not make it normal. In this week's Sunday's Best Bits, Cassie unpacks the luteal phase, why the week before your period can feel like hell week, and what your body is actually trying to tell you. If you have ever written off the week before your period as just something you have to get through, this one is for you. In this week's Sunday's Best Bits, Cassie revisits the luteal phase from the hormones and cycle syncing episode. It is the phase most women feel the most and understand the least. The irritability, the broken sleep, the sugar cravings, the sense that everything is suddenly too much. None of that is weakness. It is neurobiology, and it is your body giving you feedback. Cassie walks through what is actually happening hormonally in the two halves of your luteal phase, why your capacity genuinely drops in the back half, and how to adjust your training instead of pushing through. She also explains why 10 days is the number to know if you are tracking your cycle for fertility, and what your cervical mucus is telling you at this point in the month. Then she busts the myth she says she bursts most often in clinic. Period pain may be common, but it is not normal, and there is usually a lot that can be done about it.    Listen to the full episode  In this episode: What is happening hormonally in your luteal phase, and why Cassie splits it into twoCervical mucus changes after ovulation and what they meanWhy your luteal phase should be at least 10 days, and what a longer one might be telling youWhy the last five to seven days before your period feel so much biggerHow to train through the luteal phase without pushing your body into injuryWhy walking is not failureThe difference between what is common and what is actually normalHell week, PMDD, and why you should not have to white knuckle through itPeriod pain is common, but it is not normal Work with Cassie: If you are in a tricky season with your hormones and you would like some support untangling what your body is throwing up as feedback, Cassie offers one on one consultations.

    The Problem with Bouncing Back | Sunday's Best Bits

    Somewhere along the way we decided that looking after ourselves is something we get to do once everything else is sorted. Once the baby sleeps. Once they start school. Once the ducks are finally in a row. In this week's Sunday's Best Bits, Cassie revisits her conversation with personal trainer, Pilates instructor and former Peaches Pilates owner Bec Chidiac, and it is one of the most honest discussions this season about why women wait, and what it costs us. Bec doesn't talk about strength training the way most of the internet does. There's no bouncing back, no snapping back, no getting your body back. Instead she talks about building a body that carries you through your day, walking a little taller, feeling stronger while lifting your kids and carrying the groceries up. And she's clear that starting doesn't have to mean walking into a gym. Sometimes the first step is booking in with a naturopath, getting your bloods done, and finding out where you're actually depleted before you ask your body to do anything more. In this episode Why strength training after birth is about rebuilding trust with your body, not regaining control over itWhat to do first if you're feeling disconnected, depleted or unsure whether your body is readyWhy feeling safe matters more than feeling motivatedThe belief Bec wants to dismantle: waiting to be out of a season before you start oneWhere the conditioning comes from, and why our mothers had no concept of "me time"The identity shift after children that nobody warns you aboutWhy comparing your present self to a past version is where the suffering startsSetting expectations for the season you're actually in, not the life you had before itListen to the full conversation here This is a highlight from Cassie's full conversation with Bec Chidiac, where they go much deeper into where to start with strength training, moving with your cycle rather than against it, the toddler years, and Bec's practice of catching glimmers in the middle of the chaos.

    The Problem With Rapid Weight Loss | Sunday's Best Bits

    Losing 15 kilos in eight weeks sounds impressive BUT what actually happens inside the body during rapid weight loss is a very different story, and it is the reason so many women find that dieting gets harder every single time they try. In this Sunday's Best Bits, Cassie unpacks why restriction so often backfires. She walks through the spring analogy, a way of understanding what happens when you cut calories, skip meals, ignore hunger and over train to burn off food. The spring can stay compressed for a while. It looks controlled, it looks disciplined, it even gets praised. But pressure builds underneath, and when it releases, it overshoots. Cassie then breaks down the numbers and talks about a woman who loses 15 kilos on an eight week challenge. What looks like a "win" on the scale involves a significant loss of lean muscle tissue, which lowers how much energy the body uses at rest and makes the weight far more likely to return. It is the same pattern behind the dramatic transformations we all watched on television and the regain that followed. The takeaway is not that goals are the problem. It is that the method has to match the life you actually want to live. Sustainable change is built on consistency, not intensity. In this episode: Why the effort, burnout, guilt, restart cycle is neurological as well as physicalThe spring analogy and why the rebound gets stronger every roundWhat people actually mean when they say a metabolism has slowed downWhat rapid weight loss costs in lean muscle, and why that matters long termRestriction as a predictor of future weight gainThe fighter jet analogy from James Clear's Atomic Habits, and why a few degrees changes where you landWant the full conversation? This mini is pulled from one of the most played episodes of In With Cassie, The Problem With Challenges. In the full episode Cassie covers what draws us to the six, eight and twelve week challenge in the first place, and then walks through the ten pillars of sustainable change, including protein and fibre targets, why strength training is non negotiable for ovulating women, sleep, stress and how to stay consistent rather than perfect.

    Herbal Medicine For Snotty Kids & Frazzled Mums

    If you have ever been handed a little brown bottle by a naturopath, shot it back with a mouthful of juice and wondered what on earth was actually in it, this episode is your answer. Cassie takes you behind the dispensary bench to unpack what herbal medicine really is, how plants create a physiological effect in the body, and why two women describing the exact same symptom will almost never walk out with the same formula. This is the conversation for anyone who has said "I tried echinacea and it didn't work," anyone parenting a child who seems to bring home every virus going around, and anyone running on an empty tank while their brain schedules a board meeting at 10:47pm. In this episode: What herbal medicine actually is and why plants have chemistryConstituents explained simply, using coffee, peppermint and ginger as everyday examplesWhy the botanical name matters, and the difference between genus and speciesWhy the plant part, the preparation and the dose all change the outcomeThe herbal orchestra: how constituents work synergistically rather than in isolationWhy naturopaths rarely prescribe a single herb in a single bottleThree women, one word (stressed), three completely different formulasVitality and what Cassie is really assessing beyond the presenting symptomWhy "boosting" a child's immune system is the wrong goal, and what to look for insteadRecovery, resilience and the difference between two children who are both "always sick"Does natural automatically mean safe? The honest answerThree immune and respiratory herbs Cassie loves working with for kidsThree nervous system herbs she loves for overwhelmed mums, and why they are not interchangeableImmune and respiratory support for children: Echinacea purpurea, Elderberry (Sambucus nigra), Pelargonium (Pelargonium sidoides) Nervous system support: Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata), Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis), American Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora) These are shared as general education only. They are not recommendations and they are not appropriate for everyone. Herbal medicine is not a shopping list. The species matters, the plant part matters, the constituents matter, the dose matters, the evidence matters, and most importantly the person taking it matters.
