For those of you who don't know much about homeopathy, this conversation gives you insight into the philosophy and scope of the Homeopath's work. Dr Lindi Mets asks, is it kind, is it gentle and is it necessary of every treatment that she prescribes for a patient. She talks passionately about lifestyle medicine, food intolerances, the connection between the gut and the skin, the supplement industry and the regulatory chasm that perpetuates a divide between allopathic and allied health professionals. Lindi and I both hope that this conversation ripples into the rooms of other health care professionals encouraging more dialogue, collaboration and transformation.

In this episode with specialist, Dr Alison Bentley we explored normal and disordered sleep, sleep apnoea, CPAP, the overlap between psychiatry and sleep as a specialty and how to teach your children to sleep without traumatising you or them! We talk about cannabis, alcohol and the controversial prescription hypnotics available. Dr Bentley is as knowledgable as she is easy to understand, sharing tools for improving your own sleep quality and debunking some of the myths around sleep that we have all been led to believe. You thought you needed 8 hours, but this is not true! I learned so much in this conversation and we both hope that it is helpful to you.

This episode gave me so much food for thought that lingered with me. It shifted some of my own perceptions around trauma and healing in a provocative and intelligent way. Dr Pakirri practices both allopathic and functional medicine. She has an interest in regenerative medicine and epigenetics and works at an energetic level too. She focuses on the neuro-cognitive aspects of disease looking at emotional and psychological trauma and how these both manifest in the body.

I hope you enjoy her passion for her work and her wisdom as much as I did.

You can book an appointment to see her on 082 505 2194. She practices from Bryanston West.

In this inspiring episode with Dr Ela Manga, we explore the power of breath as a tool for healing. Dr Ela is an integrative medicine doctor, but breath is her craft. This in-built intelligence is accessible to everyone and is the great connector of all humans. Using breath as a vehicle, Dr Ela shares how we can change our physiology and overcome disease. She describes different kinds of breath, her own frame work for addressing breath work and shares some of her own personal stories and experiences. I came away from this interview feeling so inspired and humbled by Dr Ela's light being.
