    Episode 2: Kulturing Kuriosity with Cyndi O’Meara

    This week I am joined by the fearless Cyndi O’Meara who tells us about a time when she was in her 50’s and what she discovered about the ketogenic diet. What Cyndi shares comes from such an interesting angle, discussing the ancestral origins and benefits of the Ketogenic diet and how we would do well to keep these origins in mind when applying the diet in our current age. We discuss her quest for knowledge and how she seeks out and then consolidates the information to quench that thirst for knowledge. We discuss the idea of ketones being the fourth macronutrient and the controversial topic of xygenous ketones. Later we discuss the importance of staying curious and cultivating this in our children.

    Episode 3: Kulturing Kuriosity with Alexx Stuart

    In this episode I am joined by Alexx Stuart, founder of Low Tox Life. Alex and I have a wonderful conversation all about the areas in her health that she’s been curious about. We discuss how tonsillitis plagued her until she had a wonderful consult with a naturopath who really changed the course of how she investigated her health, the questions that she asked and taught her the importance of forming a great partnership with a practitioner. She also went on to talk about how she was told at the age of 28 that she was in early menopause and that there wasn’t much she could do about it! She also talks about the masses of information she had to gather and the team she had to have around her to work out what was going on with her severe health decline which in the end was an inflammatory response to mould which was really just providing this cascade of issues she had to address. She talks about some of the blessings that happened for her while learning about mould.  I also ask Alexx about where to from here, what is she curious about now and she discusses her new book, what she is learning about climate change and what we should be doing for our own bodies and health.
