Today I am joined by Elyse Comerford. Elyse is an Integrative Nutritionist and Certified GAPS Practitioner. Her approach is based on taking the normal "guilt, blame, shame and deprivation" approach and completely turning it on it's head, focussing instead on healing, nourishing, and listening to the body.

Today Elyse talks about blue zones, this is where people live the longest, and are healthiest. She shares strategies that we can implement here in our western world so we are not sacrificing our health in order to be healthy. This is an amazing episode and I hope you get a lot from it.

Today I am joined by Elke Pascoe the founder of the little oak company. The first palm oil free formula in the world.

Although Breast is best when it come to baby nutrition, obviously this isn't possible for all women and some women choose to formula feed their babies. So, today I wanted to chat to Elkie about the formula industry and to pick her brain about some of the most commonly asked questions I get as a nutritionist about formula. Being a nutritionist food quality for my family is so important to me. Little Oak is a company I personally use with both of my boys, and knowing the ethics and the ingredients of this company and formula has really helped me make the transition with ease when I could no longer breast feed. So I am excited to bring you this episode today and hopefully answer some of your questions.

Today I am joined by Chloe de Winter, founder of GoChlo Pilates. Chloe has passion for movement and after she completed her Masters of Physiotherapy Practice and Bachelor of Health Science in 2014, it became her mission to heal others through the power of movement.

Today Chloe shares with us how to best prepare your body for fertility, pregnancy and beyond. This episode is full of tips and tricks to help you deal with all the physical demands pregnancy and birth may have on your body.

Today on the show we are answering some of your questions about work life balance, returning to work after having a baby, challengers that have come up for us and so much more. This is an authentic and real conversation and I can't wait for you to listen.
