The word ‘overwhelm’ might be one that’s all too familiar these days!

When you think of overwhelm, you’re probably thinking of everything you’ve got on your plate right now - stress, busy schedules, chores, work, and more. But did you know that a lot of overwhelm can actually come from within?

Just ask Dr. Libby Weaver, an internationally acclaimed nutritional biochemist, author and speaker, with 14 years of study and 20 years of practice behind her. Needless to say, I am honoured (and maybe a little awestruck) to have her on the show!

Dr. Libby has combined all that beautiful experience to create her 3 pillar approach to women’s health - the biochemical, the nutritional and the emotional. Using this approach, her mission is to educate and inspire, enhancing people’s health and happiness, and igniting a ripple effect that transforms the world.

Today, we discuss how these pillars can contribute to overwhelm, but also empower us to overcome it. Dr. Libby takes us through the belief systems, behaviours and biochemistry of stress, and how we can reframe our thinking and teach our bodies to overcome overwhelm and ripple that positive effect out into the world.

As Dr. Libby says, changing your thought patterns is a lifelong journey but one of the most rewarding things you can commit yourself to. Today, she’s here to help you start that incredible journey.

Do you have an upset tummy? Do you find that you are hypersensitive or hyper-reactive to everything that you put in your mouth? Do you experience bloating, loose stools, constipation or diarrhea, or gas urgency?

Well, girl, you are in the right place. It’s time to turn up the volume and let's chat about all things gut and hormones.

In my clinical experience, bowel and gut issues very often go hand in hand with hormonal imbalances or reproductive health conditions. We have extremely beautiful and complex female hormonal systems and everything is intricately linked and a lot of things that go on with our hormones reside in our gut as well.

The amazing thing is that there's a lot that you can do to heal the state of your gut and your hormones holistically to bring things back into homeostasis and to relieve you of those frustrating ongoing symptoms so that you can ultimately one day have those iron guts that you completely deserve.

The pill is the pioneer of hormonal contraception and it plays a massive role in our history. Back in the ’60s when it was first released, it was seen as a mascot for female empowerment and liberation during the women’s rights movement. Women finally had power over their own reproductive systems and bodies.

In 2021, 80% of Australian women and 200 million women worldwide are on some sort of hormonal contraceptive, however, many women don’t actually know how the pill works or the effects that it has on our amazing womanly bodies.

Your female reproductive system is not only for reproduction. Our female hormones have so many other functions within our bodies. 

So today, I want to help educate you on the oral contraceptive pill as well as other forms of hormonal contraception. I'll share with you a brief history of the pill and how it’s shaped us as a society. How your body functions before, what happens within your body during, and what happens when you transition off the pill; the aftermath. As well as what foods to include in your diet to support your female system, gut health, liver and mind during the different phases.

Whether you’re thinking about going on hormonal contraception, currently taking it or in the process of transitioning off hormonal contraception, I want to provide you with the right information so that you can feel empowered to make the best choice for you and your body because, at the end of the day, it’s YOUR choice.

*This episode comes with a sensitivity warning* 

Today’s topic is a very important one, but one that isn’t talked about enough in our society. It’s a topic that is often considered taboo, despite many women have experienced it. It’s something that can leave those women feeling lost and alone, and loved ones struggling with what to say or how to support them. 

In today’s episode, we welcome the beautiful Kathryn Halcyon to the show as we talk about navigating pregnancy loss and healing. Kathryn’s practice as a relationship and sex therapist is grounded in warmth and comfort that activates the heart and nourishes the soul, and she demonstrates this beautifully as she walks us through this episode. 

Pregnancy loss can come in many forms, and all of them can have a significant, traumatic impact on a woman and her partner and not everyone experiences the same story.

You’ve likely heard the phrase before that “it takes a village”, and this is true too when it comes to navigating and healing from pregnancy loss. Kathryn and I discuss the importance of connections in building a compassionate society, how to reach out and offer support to someone who has experienced pregnancy loss, as well as the courage behind breaking down those barriers. We also go through the nutritional, physical, and mental journey and recovery that follows a loss, and the holistic resources that can be accessed. 

Kathryn’s vision is for us to build a culture of care and for women to be their strongest and most well selves - but also to remind us that we can be strong and need support at the same time.

As women, we’re mothers, we’re businesswomen, we look after the household, we’re gatherers in the aisles of grocery stores - we’re juggling all of these things that have a routine in our lives, but when it comes to starting your day with a feminine morning routine, we tell ourselves that we just don’t have the time.

Uh-uh, girlfriend. That’s about to change.

Today, we will delve into what you can do and implement into your own morning following these important five steps - nutrition, ways to ground yourself, mental health rituals, movement and exercise and preparation. I also talk about why and how this is important because knowledge is power, baby!

Committing to a beautiful feminine morning routine will translate and cascade into each day ahead which is absolutely crucial for your health and wellbeing. 

We are not expected to be perfectly disciplined by any means but I’ve found that having a small amount of ritual and healthy routine can help immensely because it's the little things that have a big and phenomenal impact on your health when practiced consistently.

Your wonderful brain is a powerful tool that is constantly changing throughout your life, and when it comes to making habitual dietary and lifestyle changes, neuroplasticity plays a massive positive role in making these health improvements.

It is super-duper easy to follow the same old carved-out neural pathways that you have followed for most of your life. It is harder, however, to rewire your brain and create new neural pathways to learn new ways of doing things and to actually use your mind to control your body into carrying them out.

If you think that change is on the horizon and you’re committed to becoming your best self, then tune in because I’m going to take you through the 10 principles of neuroplasticity with a Chloe twist and how you can apply them on your health journey as a woman.

I’m so excited to bring you today’s episode with my lovely guest, Annalisa Siefken as we talk about powerful feminine rituals, harnessing the opportunities to turn daily bite-sized habits into self-care rituals, mindfulness, my own personal cacao ritual experience with Annalisa, what the difference is between feminine and masculine energy, how to tap into your flow state and how to nurture, restore and come into balance as a woman; mind, body and spirit.

Annalisa is an intuitively led, wellness-focused, and passionate woman on a mission to help individuals deeply connect to their divine essence. After years of connecting with individuals in her salons as a holistic hairstylist and the creative founder at BARE Movement, Annalisa noticed a huge rift in women creating space and time to sit in ritual to connect to themselves, their wants and needs and observed an increase in anxiety, overwhelm and more.

After years of committing to learning modalities, yoga teaching, breathwork, and sitting in sacred ceremony herself, she developed and created a sacred cacao and hair ceremony in her studio that has seen many individuals experience their own version and interpretation of awakening, connection and self-love.

Pregnancy and postpartum can be such a beautiful time in a woman’s life but with all of the information out there on what you can and can’t eat, what exercises you should and shouldn’t be doing, and even pressure on how you should be feeling during this stage in your life; it can be so overwhelming.

In today’s episode, I'm going to talk to you about health and nutrition during the pregnancy and postpartum period. I will go through different aspects of these huge hormonal recalibrations in your reproductive lifespan and we will of course talk about the importance of nutrition and the increased nutritional demands throughout this time.

When you lay the foundations to a healthy, balanced, and diverse diet for your female system, this will then translate into pregnancy and postpartum.

I only hope that this episode enlightens any new or expectant mothers to support themselves and in turn, help them be the best version of Mama they can be.

Put your hand up if you are an emotional woman (my hand is sky high!). Keep your hand up if in your life you’ve been labelled as difficult, disruptive, or crazy for expressing those emotions or moods. And sometimes, you might just believe them?

My gorgeous emotional woman, I see you.

The thing is, your moods are most probably a result of what is going on inside your body on a biochemical level and you are not crazy. I want you to know that your mood swings and fluctuations are a symptom and just like any other hormonal symptom, they can be addressed and treated.

Today, we’re chatting all about emotions and moods on a societal, spiritual and biochemical level. We will delve into what this looks like in real life, what nutrients in foods are supportive to your womanly system, and the signs to look out for and recognise when it comes to your moods because abnormal mood swings can actually and very usually be a sign of hormonal imbalance in women.
