There are a couple of things that I do every day that make a BIG difference to my energy, well being and sense of JOY. They are all pretty simple, not particularly time-consuming but I really notice the difference and decline when I get out of the habit.
So this week on the podcast I am sharing with you my morning routines (pre-baby of course!!), how I sleep, what I make sure I eat and a few other secret weapons that help my body to be strong and resilient. All of them are actionable and easy for you to implement so I highly recommend taking on board ONE THING to help you feel your best.

This is something I see A LOT in women. They feel crap. Exhausted, depressed, cold and just not quite right. They get some blood test done at the Dr's and it all comes back 'normal'. They think it is maybe in their heads, or they get told it is because they're getting older, have kids or are actually depressed.
But for so many women it can be that their third is not working optimally and the test most commonly done does not provide a thorough picture of thyroid function at all.
So in this episode, I equip you to be your own thyroid NINJA! So that you or friends or family members of your don't have to suffer the average 8-9 years of suffering before they get the diagnosis they need (!!!!).

I would guess that you've sat in a Dr's office and had a come across one of those lovely height-weight charts that tells you whether you're at a normal weight, underweight or very obese. Nice.
And then there is BMI, hip to waist ratio, weight, dress sizes and many more other ways to you can attach a number to your health.
But should you pay attention to your weight, your BMI or whatever? Does it matter? Is it the best indicator of your health? That is what we are talking about on this week's podcast.

Over the past few weeks, I have had lots of people telling me they are pregnant! A lot of them being previous clients where this was a 'goal' we were heading for and it made me realise two important things:
1. I love it when I get emails from clients who say they are up the duff! (I am such an elegant writer aren't I?!)
2. I am actually super passionate about preconception care - despite the fact that is not really a 'thing' in our culture.
So this week on the podcast I am sharing with you my five pillars of preconception care BUT even if you're done having babies are never planning on having them, you could also call this podcast
The 5 pillars of strong and healthy women!
because what we are talking about here in optimising fertility and being fertile is the sign of a healthy woman - whether or not she wants to produce little sproglets. Fertility is just a sign of health - so these are great foundations for every woman who wants to feel GOOD.
Join the Beat the Bloat 5-Day Challenge
In this episode I talk more about:
- Why you shouldn't feel guilty if you've NEVER done any of these things
- Why what you put on your skin matters
- Why its time to change your cleaning products
- Creating healthy 'defaults' before getting pregnant
- Why I believe 3-9 months of intentional preconception care can help couples avoid a LOT of fertility stress and intervention
- Why I dislike Pregnacare supplements and think folic acid is a waste of time for most women
- The technology I used to track and regulate my period
- The main nutrients to get tested before conception
It's a jam-packed episode! Make sure you share it with any friends who you think it will help

Have you found yourself stuck in certain habits or behaviours around your health that you KNOW are unhelpful or even destructive....but you just keep doing them?
Literally like a hamster on a wheel. Of trying something new, failing to keep up with it (because it's super restrictive or you're just being plain MEAN to yourself!) and then you end up at square one, feeling like you are a failure.
This sort of cycle can be super toxic and lead to a really disordered approach to food and your body. Well, this was the case for me. I never ended up with a full-blown eating disorder (thank goodness) but my mind was obsessed with food, tracking it, tracking my weight, my points/syns etc. I was exhausted thinking about food all the time.
And the reality I experience and that I see in SO many of my one to one clients is that this vicious cycle, this disorder eating pattern is often driven by our core beliefs. So this week we have core beliefs expert Megan to help us SHIFT our beliefs so that we can start to make changes that ACTUALLY last.
Megan is a Business Mindset Strategist and she came on the show to help us look at how these things called core beliefs can impact our behaviour. She shares with us how we can shift can begin to shift our beliefs so that we can actually create that beautiful healthy life we truly WANT.
