Ep 85: Constipation: Why & What to Do! (Part 1)

 

Pooping every day is a must if you want to feel energised, well, happy and slim! It really is...buuuttt so many people come to me struggling.

Struggling to have a normal daily bowel movement and that, my friend is what we're going to fix in this 2 part episode. This week I  will share with you the 3 BASIC steps to sort out your poop as well as WHY you're struggling in the first place.

Ep 84: Signs & Symptoms of Stress - When you DON'T Feel Stressed!

I cannot tell you the number of times that clients have said to me a consultation 'but Kezia I don't feel that stressed'.

This is often when I have gone away and done my research and done some detective work about what is going on with their health and for so many women (and men - I have male clients too...just not as many!) stress is a foundational piece.

But maybe you don't FEEL stressed. You don't feel that emotion or aren't reacting or in the corner crying and having an obvious outburst.

That doesn't mean you're not stressed...it might just mean that it's become your normal!

And this podcast is SUCH an essential one as I talk about why stress is NOT a feeling - its a biochemical response and that is what we need to be aware of.

Ep 83: What to do when you're STUCK & nothing is working!

Feeling frustrated that NOTHING is working is not fun. Feeling stuck and overwhelmed and like things are never going to change no matter what you do - is SO disheartening.

I've been there and clients come to me all the time saying these exact words. 

'Nothing seems to work. I am just stuck and can't seem to lose weight/beat the bloat/balance my hormones/ditch sugar/ feel energised'

So what do you do? Well in this episode I outline the 3 important questions to answer and how to go back to basics so that you can start to see some results.

 

I am opening doors to my small and intimate 4-month group coaching program Nourish!

Ep 82: Are You Low In...Good Bacteria??

Most of us have been taught that all bacteria are bad. We want to sterilised and sanitise everything. And while this has helped in SO many areas (thank goodness surgeons now wash and sterilise there hand in between patients!) it IS important that within our bodies we have bacterial diversity.

It impacts your weight, energy, mental health, skin and MORE. So this week we are asking - could you be low in beneficial bacteria? Is your gut microbiome diverse or very boring?

Ep 81: Mistakes & Misconceptions Around Food Intolerances (And why it could be impacting YOU!)

'I tried it and it didn't work.' 

This is a phrase that I hear often when it comes to my online nutrition practice, clients will tell me that they've tried ditching dairy/sugar/wheat/gluten/whatever and it's not helped their IBS/PCOS/weight/energy. And sometimes this is 100% the case - food intolerances aren't the be-all and end-all BUT they are often important.

And after further investigation, it turns out that the client hasn't approached food intolerances in the right way at all. And they've made mistakes when it comes to figuring out if they have a food intolerance or not. So that is what this episode is about. The common mistakes people make with food intolerances so you can avoid them and get your energy and belly back QUICKER.

Ep 78: 3 Ways to Support Your Body When Coming Off the Pill {AKA The Post Pill Detox}

 This is something I've been asked about a few times and something I have worked with clients on specifically too. Why? Because long term use of the pill can change our bodies and if you're coming off the pill to make a baby you want to make sure you rectify the potential consequences.

 

Annnnndddd for many women the main reason for going on the pill was nothing to do with babies but to deal with heavy, painful, crazy, awful periods. But the pill is not a treatment for things like PCOS or heavy periods (it suppresses symptoms though and therefore often very helpful)so coming off the pill requires thought and intention.

 

And that is what this episode is for - the 3 foundations for coming off the pill smoothly, happily and feeling GOOD!!
