When it comes to success on a health journey we're going to come up against obstacles - and for me a lot of those were very painful and challenging. For the first time I'm sharing the full version of my journey from obesity, depression, social anxiety and terrible health habits - even the parts I'm not comfortable with.

Liana Werner-Gray of The Earth Diet was kind enough to be my guest host for this episode, and we delved deep into why bad things happen FOR us, not TO us. 

We covered:

- How deep the roots of bad health habits can run (and what to do about fixing them)

- What you need to do to really create change in your life

- Why bad things happen FOR us, not TO us - and how we can take advantage of them.

The ketogenic diet is buit on some very heavy, technical and potentially boring princples - it basically boils down to teaching your body how to burn fat for fuel (yay!) instead of sugar.

Side effects of ketosis include weight loss, normalisation of blood sugar levels and increased brain function.... somehow. I sat down with weight loss legend and master of turning complicated concepts into simple explanations, host of the Livin' La Vida Low Carb podcast and author of the new Ketogenic Cookbook Jimmy Moore, to talk about what exactly this diet is and does.

We cover:

- What it actually means to burn fat for fuel instead of sugar

- Who should try this diet (and how)

- Why it doesn't mean you have to eat boring food all day

We all know that we've got a thyroid, and we might have heard of things like hypothyroidism Hashimoto's thyroiditis, but it's a little-understood organ. What does it actually do, where does it live, what does it feel like if it doesn't work properly and what can we do to help it?

We covered:

- The best self-care strategies for your thryoid (and self-destruct habits to avoid)

- How the thyroid can be the missing link to your weight loss

- The impact of high-iodine 'healthy' foods such as milk and eggs on your overall feeling of well-being

The nutrition industry can be a very disempowering one, full of self-proclaimed experts debating each other, arguing over the merits of eating/eliminating various foods and trying to sell their programs, diet books and educational courses.

Nutrition is, fortunately, very simple and I've reached out to an Australian TV legend (whio is also a naturopath and nutritionist) called Janella Purcell - co-host of Good Chef, Bad Chef and author of Wholefood Kitchen - to teach us how to empower our lives through food.

We cover:

- Why the concept of 'celebrity nutrition experts' is a deeply flawed one

- The true key to lasting succes in the pursuit of any health goal

- A Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective on what the pressures of the modern world can do to our ability to achieve.

Intermittent fasting may sound like a new-age, trendy type of diet that I would usually shoot down as yet another fad diet, however this week's guest did a great job of convincing me that it's not - to the point where I've decided I need to try this myself, and I've already tried to sign him up to write a book about it!

We covered:
