Can our thoughts and mindset be that powerful in overcoming pain? Short answer - you betcha! 

In today’s episode of Chloe’s Clinic, we’re joined by the wonderful Amber Hillenbrand. Amber is a Chiropractor and founder of Project Health Collective in Cairns. As someone who has personally suffered from chronic illness, pain, and fatigue, Amber is so passionate about helping others in their recovery from chronic pain conditions.

When you think of a Chiropractor, you usually think of bones, thrown-out necks, and back pain but Amber does things differently. When treating her clients, she looks at not only their Musculoskeletal system but also their Nervous System collectively to pinpoint the pain culprit and to help with a more holistic approach to recovery.

Today, Amber will be delving deep into holistic ways to manage pain and provide us with some mind-blowing scientific facts about how we experience pain, why, and how the power of mindset can play a massive role.

Pain is a protective mechanism that our body is using to try to protect us. Once you understand the physiology behind the pain you’re experiencing, it can really be empowering.

Preconception care is sustainable and long-term health practices that will support you in the lead-up to conception, throughout pregnancy, and beyond in the postpartum phase. It is also your first ultimate act of being an outstanding and prepared Mama.

I'm so passionate about the topic of preconception care.

So very often I work with women who want to overcome their own health issues before the conception of their baby, whether it be gut issues, mental health issues, weight loss, thyroid issues, hormonal imbalances or reproductive health conditions. They’re looking for an individualised, practical and holistic approach to improving their mind, body and spirit.

It’s overwhelming with the amount of information that's out there and it’s important to be able to decipher between what’s important and the bullsh*t. So in today's episode, I'm going to reveal to you the three steps which I have determined are absolutely essential on your journey of preconception care for whatever stage of the journey you’re currently in.

I'm really excited for this juicy episode about the emotional side of eating and your relationship with food as a woman.

I haven’t always had a great relationship with food. In my early 20’s, I didn't know how to eat properly for my female system because like many other women, it’s simply not something we were taught. 

I thought that eating less equaled becoming thinner and that being thinner equaled being more liked, wanted and accepted. I had a degree of body dysmorphia with totally unrealistic expectations of my body and absolutely no comprehension of how important it was to care for it, nourish it and that food is fuel and medicine. 

Does this story sound familiar?

Today, I want to talk to you about your relationship with food. I'm going to delve into the diet mentality and nutrients in food, the 101 basics, eating for the female system and your metabolism.

This may be the very start of refining and relearning your relationship with food or you may already be somewhere along that journey. Either way, it deserves work and attention for optimal health, vitality and resilience long term.

In today’s episode, the wonderful Fran Dargaville joins me as we chat all about women’s gut issues, how you can improve your gut health, dietary and lifestyle changes, symptoms and much more.

Fran Dargaville is a Functional Nutritionist specialising in Gut Health. She aims to empower people to take control of their health with real food nutrition and lifestyle shifts. She believes you’re not stuck with your symptoms - they are simply messages from the body that something is out of balance. 

It’s time to bust the myth that gut issues are limited to your digestive system only. It’s just not true. It impacts your overall health from your hormones, your skin, your energy levels, your reproductive system and even your mental health. 

The symptoms that you’ve been normalising aren't actually normal and they’re most definitely not in your head.

That’s why it is so damn important to get to the root cause of your gut health issues and start to feel healthier and more resilient long term because you deserve to feel f*cking fabulous.

In the first-ever episode of Chloe’s Clinic, I gave you a behind-the-scenes look into my personal life and I shared with you really vulnerable things about my fertility journey up to that point.

Well, it’s time that I welcome you to my story - part two where I’ll be bringing you updates on my fertility journey, past experiences and all that’s happening in the life of Chloe.

Content warning; I’m going to get really f*cking vulnerable and honest in this episode, more than ever before because once we liberate ourselves, we begin to liberate all women.

I want every woman listening to this episode to know that I am not perfect and that you are not alone. I want to set a tone of vulnerability and openness as a demonstration to the world like “Hey, we can talk about our sh*t, it's 2021!”. And if I can do it, then so can you.

I only hope that my learnings, growth, honesty, vulnerability and my rocky-imperfect journey inspires and liberates you.

If you are ready to exit off hormonal contraception safely, thrive within your own natural cycle and make the transition as smooth as possible then this episode is for you!

Hormonal contraception (specifically the pill) was marketed as a women's empowerment tool in the ’60s giving women control over their own fertility. Now it's a normal part of our society with so many women using hormonal contraceptives because it’s the only way, right? Wrong. 

There are a plethora of consequences that can come from shutting down your essential female body system. Everything from mental health issues, gut issues, loss of libido, infertility, or more sinister diseases.

Not to mention the fact that not allowing a woman to naturally cycle takes away a core component of her femininity, it literally changes the biochemistry of a woman's brain function essentially putting her into a form of chemical menopause.

In today’s episode, I dive into what hormonal contraceptives are, how they work, natural alternatives, how you can safely step back into your natural cycle, and how for some women it is the absolute best choice for them at that particular time in their lives.

I only hope that today’s episode empowers you to make the right decision for you and your body.

Endometriosis is a common chronic inflammatory condition where the endometrial tissue which lines the inside of the uterus grows in other areas of the body and usually around the reproductive organs. This can cause debilitating and really severe pain for women. 

In Australia, more than 11% of women will experience Endometriosis at some point in their lives and often starting in their teenage years. Endometriosis exists on a scale and there are so many different degrees that are then influenced by different internal and external factors. 

In this episode, we will be talking about not only the reproductive system but the immune system, reducing inflammation, gut, bowel, and liver health, diagnosis and laparoscopies, symptoms and even silent Endometriosis where you are completely or mostly asymptomatic (yes, that’s a thing).

If you have Endometriosis or know someone who does, there is so much that can be done to set a positive trajectory in managing the condition naturally with the right level of expertise, support and accountability.

Some crazy Endo diet or some quick detox that will only temporarily make your symptoms subside isn’t going to cut it. It’s time to focus on a holistic way of eating and living for long term and sustainable management of Endometriosis. You can thrive with endometriosis!

Let’s talk all about PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and how to manage the condition and thrive naturally. 

PCOS is a complex and very common reproductive health condition amongst women of reproductive age. It is also very misunderstood, under-diagnosed, over-diagnosed and so confusing as it’s not just a reproductive health condition but a whole entire body condition which at the very roots is driven by immune and metabolic function.

PCOS can be responsible for irregular periods or no periods at all, difficulty getting pregnant due to not ovulating, weight gain, excessive hair growth, oily skin, or acne… and that’s just to name a few symptoms.

Many women with this health condition are seeking holistic, long-term, and sustainable solutions instead of a quick fix using medications and hormonal contraceptives. This episode was created for you.

In today’s episode, I’ll cover the 3 subtypes of PCOS, how to properly diagnose the condition, hormonal contraception and insulin resistance. 

If you suffer or live with PCOS or if you know someone else who does, I really hope this episode sheds new light on the condition and gives you a new perspective or a new path to look into and go down.

Welcome back to Chloe’s Clinic! We’re kicking off season two with a truly inspirational interview with the remarkable Natasha Melacinis who shares her story as a young breast cancer survivor. 

Breast cancer is the most common cancer found in Australian women and it represents around 28% of all cancers in women. One in every eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer by the age of 85 and it does not discriminate. Both women and men of all ages can be diagnosed with this horrible disease. 

Natasha is a 31-year-old former elite athlete, physiotherapist and Pilates instructor. In 2018, at the age of 29, Natasha was diagnosed with stage 3 triple-negative breast cancer. 

This was obviously a complete surprise and a hard-fought battle to overcome this horrible disease ensued. Fortunately, Natasha’s fighting spirit overcame this setback, and true to her style, Natasha has used the experience to gain knowledge in areas such as holistic health and organic-based living.

In this episode, I also share with you the signs and symptoms of breast cancer to look out for and how as women (and men) we need to have a level of body literacy to know what is and isn’t normal for our own individual bodies. We also discuss how many health professionals can normalise your symptoms so you *must always* be persistent in your journey for answers.

This is an episode that is both inspiring and informative and could potentially help you or a loved one so please be sure to share this episode.
