This conversation is important for anyone who is planning to have children in the future. Be empowered with tools for taking proactive steps towards ensuring that you have done everything that you could have, to give yourself the opportunity to become a parent with as little intervention as possible. The world is changing and women are delaying starting families, men's sperm counts are lower than ever before. Dr Picton talks us through strategies for reducing risk and taking the right steps at the right time.

It was such a joy to sit with my dear, old friend Nicola Varney and share insights and tips for more robust communication and conflict resolution. Nicola's experience in communication strategy, learning and development has spanned both the start up and corporate world. She brings with her to this conversation, her gentle sense of humour, her own vulnerability and real life examples from her day to day life; making this conversation so relatable and so applicable from the moment that you hear it. We both hope that you take this conversation to heart and that the next tricky moment that you have at work or at home, is navigated with more ease because of it.

After all, what defines us so uniquely as humans is our craft of language, best we use it for it's highest purpose; developing deeper and more meaningful connections to those around us.

Its difficult not to finish each other's sentences when you are talking about the work that you do together and the work that you love! Melinda and I have been partners for a decade now and our shared love of the microbiome and its impact on all of your organ systems is apparent in this rich conversation. We explore symbiosis, pre biotics, probiotics and rebiotics. We talk about the Gut - brain axis and how specialised epithelial cells of the gut produce most our seratonin. What you eat has an enormous impact on the microbiome that you are constantly building. We would love to hear from you and hope you enjoy this episode!

Dr David Nossel's passion for people and healing is palpable in this interview which explores the new burden of Autism and ADHD that we are facing. Functionally trained by world expert, Dr Kurt Woeller, David's wisdom and knowledge brings relief and healing to so many families who grapple with children who fall into this spectrum. We discuss what brought him to this work, genetics, detoxification, methylation and how we can best respond to each of these challenges. I hope you find our conversation enlightening and that it brings hope to families everywhere who need it.

Maria came to see me a few years ago complaining of pain, immobility and exhaustion. In a conversation we started just before 2020, something shifted for her. She took the first step on a journey which has led her to losing >35kg, making one good decision at a time. She shares with us her story of perseverance and triumph. We explore intermittent fasting, how to combat sugar cravings, the circadian rhythm of nature and of our cells and how you can start this journey too.

We hope you find it motivating and that it leads you to taking your own first steps, whatever they may be. Thank you Maria for your openness and warmth in sharing your story.

It feels appropriate to open this first episode in conversation with my parents. Their shining light in the world has lit so much of the magic that defines my human experience. In an increasingly confusing world of relationships, they offer simple tools and experience for fostering life long partnerships that are anchoring, safe and sacred.

We explore how commitment is a decision and how the right partner can call you to your highest self. The intimacy of sacred, life long partnership is an opportunity for self actualisation and awakening. In an era where we are thankfully shrugging the patriarchal constructs of age old institutions, this conversation shines light on the potential for beauty and transformation through authentic traditional partnership.

We know that people who are in committed, loving relationships, have better health outcomes and reduced all cause mortality. It is with gratitude and immense love, that I introduce my first podcast episode with Eleanor and Sidney Katzeff.

Eleanor is a mother, actress, writer, artist and well of wisdom. Sid is a father, mentor, Jeweller and now also an Imago therapist, his second career embodies his lifelong love of psychology. They both bring healing wherever they go.

You are in for a treat with this heart warming, funny, honest and practical conversation about lasting love.
