My guest today is Danielle Ryan-Broida, who was previously on the podcast (EF#38) to discuss her recently finished book she co-authored with Tero Isokaupilla, founder of Four Sigmatic, which is being launched next week. We talk about the adaptogens in the book, including functional mushrooms from reishi to chaga, ashwaghanda, cacao, turmeric, schishandra, goji berry, acerola cherry and how these can support those with Endometriosis
So Danielle is a key player in the worldwide mushroom movement and is a Registered Herbalist, as well as a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, Instructor of Mycology, and National Educator at Four Sigmatic, Danielle is teaching the world about the importance of a life on functional mushrooms.
After travelling the world and gaining skills, knowledge and training, she completed her graduate studies at the Colorado School of Clinical Herbalism (CSCH). She then opened her private practice where she worked with hundreds of clients specializing in functional mushroom based treatment for individuals with autoimmune conditions and chronic illness. She was invited to become the Instructor of Mycology at CSCH, where she still teaches. Danielle brings her passion and expertise in herbal medicine, clinical practice, teaching, formulation, and her deep love for fungi to everything she does.

In this week's episode I talk about my personal healing journey so far since the birth of my son in optimising my fertility, the things I have done, tried and tested, what hasn't worked, what I worry about, and what I wished I had done differently, as well as the things that I have been struggling with.
This is a very personal episode, and it was very therapeutic doing it, but also I feel quite vulnerable publishing it, as we are still TTC - I hope you find this helpful.
Be patient, things come to those that wait x
My guest today is Maya Krikke, the sole Founder & Artisan Brewer of Myk’s Kefir (soon to be MYMY. Operating out of the Food Connect Shed in Brisbane, Australia, she is one of 37 small businesses seeking to change the food ecosystem. Commercially crafting audacious yet extraordinary probiotic drinks since 2015, her mission to make ethical and sustainable decisions for packaging, ingredient sourcing, and minimal food processing, has yielded potent, small-batch, artisan ferments of the most outrageous and exquisite flavours one could imagine (like the Gin lovers’ compliment, the organic Rhubarb & rose scented Geranium). Armed with a vision to better educate and communicate the science-based secrets of tibicos (water kefir) cultures, she wants to enable access to any family home with the desire to learn more and create their own unique flavour. The MYMY probiotic pouch is like an equivalent to the Betty Crocker of home fermenting. Her debut kids probiotic workshop last week demonstrated that even a 7 year old can become a Brew Master in a day.
In this episode we talk about:

My guest today is Kat Smith, a Biomedicine and Nutritional Therapist from Endoplan.
Kat Smith is a former secondary school teacher who left her career to retrain in biomedicine and nutritional therapy, after 7 years of undiagnosed suffering from Endometriosis, after which she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Endometriosis and has since had 4 surgeries. Now, having worked with hundreds of endo sufferers and seeing how many of us struggle with crippling overwhelm and serious food fear, she has developed the Endoplan method which provides reliable structure, strategy and support. Kat's passion is empowering women with the mindset and nervous system tools to confront their trauma, which she believes is the missing piece in endometriosis management. She specialises in using DNA testing and nutrigenomics to transform Endo lives.

My guest interview today is with Molly Nichols, a renowned fertility coach, healer, queen of guided visualisations and business mentor. Molly struggled to get pregnant for 7 years. In this interview she explains how a chance encounter changed her mindset, after which she became pregnant both through IVF and naturally, and is now mother to 4 beautiful, healthy children. She decided she needed to share her fertility work with the world and rightly so!
I specifically wanted to talk to Molly about how she uses visualisations and journaling to connect with our inner selves, to help nurture ourselves, find out what blocks or worries we might have, as these can be more powerful than any physical imbalance we may have.
I LOVED this interview, I always find speaking or listening to Molly is empowering and enlightening!
Here are a couple of great quotes:
“What is the conversation you have with yourself”
“What do I actually feel around the experience I am going through right now”
The topics discussed in this episode:
