    Fiona Chin: Turning Biomarkers into Breakthroughs

    Welcome to The Enlightened Pharmacist. If you've ever wondered whether your healthy habits—like diet changes, exercise, or stress management—are truly making a difference, you're not alone. In this episode, I share how results from a NutriStat test from a case study of a client can help us 'look under the hood' and reveal our health 'blindspots'. Why? Because NutriStat offers a deep-dive into biomarkers, revealing what's really happening beneath the surface. With Fiona Chin, health expert and co-founder of Kidney Coach, we'll demystify how these results can guide real wellness—not just guesswork. What You'll Gain from Listening: 1   Actionable Insights: Learn how to interpret complex lab results and turn them into targeted, practical changes for your health. 2   Expert Guidance: Fiona shares her proven strategies for managing kidney health, detox pathways, and metabolic balance, backed by years of clinical experience. 3   Real-Life Application: Discover how to bridge the gap between clinical science and everyday decisions, making sense of biomarkers like fasting glucose, eGFR, heavy metals, and more.

In this episode, you'll hear: "DNA is like your body's instruction manual… For example, why some people thrive on a high-fat diet or why stress hits harder for some. I always remind clients: DNA is not your destiny—it's information. And when you use it wisely, it can empower real change."

  6. Ananda Mahony: Beyond Painkillers - Addressing Roots of Chronic Pain

    Ananda Mahony: Beyond Painkillers - Addressing Roots of Chronic Pain

    Today, I'm joined by someone whose work I've admired deeply—Ananda Mahony. Ananda is a Naturopath, Nutritionist, Pain Educator, and Lecturer at Torrens University, helping groups and individuals resolve chronic pain and complex health issues. She's studied human nutrition at a post-grad level, completed a Master's in the Science of Pain Management at the University of Sydney, and is a proud member of the Australian Pain Society. Now, if you're a health practitioner like me, you've probably felt this too—that heartbreaking moment when a patient tells you they can no longer garden, walk, or travel because pain rules their life. They've tried medications, seen multiple specialists, and they're still suffering. You feel powerless. You question what else can be done. We know the evidence for pain medications is limited. The side effects—depression, fatigue, opioid-induced hyperalgesia—often do more harm than good. And chronic pain isn't just physical. It lives in the nervous system, in trauma, in beliefs, in relationships, in the gut. That's why it's one of the hardest conditions to tackle alone. So how do we support people who are stuck in this pain loop? Enter the brave and brilliant Ananda Mahony—who brings clinical experience, academic insight, and deep compassion to the space of pain healing. In this episode, we go beyond the pills and protocols to explore the foundations of real relief—nervous system regulation, nutrition, sleep, attachment patterns, and the biopsychosocial lens of pain. You'll walk away with a new understanding of how pain develops, how it becomes wired in, and what we as practitioners—and humans—can do to gently unwind it. Let's dive in.

    Fiona Chin: Biohacking Autoimmune Disease & Optimizing Longevity

    Are you feeling frustrated, exhausted, and hopeless in your battle with autoimmune disease or chronic illness? Have you been told there's nothing more you can do—except take medication and wait for things to get worse? If you're struggling with a neurological autoimmune condition, kidney disease, or just want to optimize your longevity, this episode is for you. Today, I'm joined by the incredible Fiona Chin, a naturopath, biohacker, and longevity expert with over 20 years of experience helping people reclaim their health. Fiona is the co-founder of Kidney Coach and Kygenesis, where she empowers people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to take control of their health naturally. She also hosts The Kidney Coach Podcast, where she shares insights on functional medicine, biohacking, and healing chronic illness. In this conversation, Fiona will break down the science into simple, actionable steps, sharing how diet, lifestyle & injectable peptides  can be used to not only manage but potentially regulate autoimmune conditions and improve overall longevity.

    Kylie Van Luyn: Rewiring Your Mindset

    Are you running on empty, constantly prioritizing others over yourself, only to realize that when crisis hits, you have nothing left to give? Life can be challenging. We juggle, nurture, and push forward, often at the expense of our own well-being. But what happens when life throws a cyclone—literal or figurative—our way? When we're exhausted, overwhelmed, and spiraling into worst-case scenarios, how do we stop, reset, and truly care for ourselves from the inside out? That's where my guest, Kylie Van Luyn, comes in. She's a Master NLP Practitioner, Mindset Mentor, and a true expert in rewiring our thoughts for resilience and self-leadership. Kylie's expertise in mindset transformation, trauma recovery, and psychological safety is next level. She has this rare gift of cutting through the noise and helping people shift from survival mode to self-empowerment. Kylie helps women break free from self-sabotage, guilt-driven burnout, and unconscious conditioning—transforming their mindset, habits, and approach to self-care. I know this firsthand. During Cyclone Alfred, my mindset was unraveling. My worries about power outages, food waste, mold exposure, and my genetics hijacked my ability to stay present. I felt trapped in an exhausting mental loop—until I worked with Kylie. She helped me reframe my thoughts, process my emotions, and reconnect with what truly mattered. On today's episode, we're unpacking:
 1.     Why self-care is not what the wellness industry sells you
 2.     How crisis can be a catalyst for deep transformation
 3.     The mindset shifts that turn fear into empowerment
 4.     Practical NLP strategies to rewire your brain for resilience
 5.     The daily habits that create lasting self-leadership If you've ever felt guilt around prioritizing yourself or struggled with stress, fear, or burnout—this episode will shift your perspective and give you actionable tools to reclaim your well-being.
