Reflecting our personal baby making journey, the tears certainly flow.

The highs of falling pregnant, the heartbreak of our miscarriage, the healing stage before trying again, the hope of a healthy conception, the waiting, the joy of pregnancy, the emotional roller coaster while bubs grows inside, the moving birthing experience and the magic mixed in with moments of struggle, being with my baby girls in the days, weeks and months beyond birth.

I'm so grateful for our journey as I've learnt so much along the way & it has refined by passion & speciality as a Naturopath for this precious (but taxing) stage of life - preconception, pregnancy, birth, baby & motherhood.

While we now feel complete with our two angels, I know you may be at a different stage on your motherhood journey.

I love it when others join me in my passion to guide, educate, inspire & empower other women & couples as they head into & throughout their journey as mum.

Like me, todays guest is also obsessed with learning & has a huge passion for Conscious Conception, pregnancy & birth empowerment, as well as conscious parenting.

Melissa Abrosini joins me for a chat on creating a conscious conception, blissful pregnancy & dream Birth.

In part one of our conversation, we explore:

• Melissa's personal path to conception- the challenges she experienced and what she did along the way to physically & emotionally prepare for a conscious conception.
• Once Melissa and hubby Nick had conceived, how she experienced pregnancy nausea and an important mindset shift she created to overcome this.
• The important factors to experience a blissful pregnancy, love your body and really enjoy being pregnant.
• What an empowered birth means to Melissa and what she feels is significant when creating your dream birth.
• Her personal transition to motherhood- what Melissa found most challenging and comforting.

Ever wondered why you feel, behave, look or perform differently throughout your cycle? Yep, the individual fluctuations of your humble hormones have a massive influence.

Instead of dreading, pushing through or masking these changes that occur for you, what would happen if you embraced them?

Cyclical living does just that. Allowing you to support your body and mind throughout the natural ebbs and flows of your menstrual cycle, cyclical living can even be tapped into in times of your life when you have an absent or irregular period. It's all about honouring, nurturing and nourishing your body, so you can ultimately feel your best, for you & for your loved ones.

To delve into this topic, I introduce you to Mum, yogi & Integrative health practitioner, Oliva de Fluitter.

In This Episode We Cover:

• Cyclical living and how it can benefit you.
• If cyclical living is suitable for you.
• How to move your body to support your health throughout the different phases of your cycle or seasons of your life, including pregnancy, breastfeeding & amenorrhea.
• Important foods that can nourish you according to cyclical living.
• When & why you have been given permission to stop & rest, so you can show up as the best version of you.
• How understanding your cyclical rhythm can benefit your parenting and work life.

Did you know it is normal to lose 100 head hairs per day? Crazy to think.

But if you are noticing greater amounts of hair falling out when shampooing, or thinning of your once luscious locks when looking in the mirror, I can understand you'd be concerned about why this is happening.

Firstly, you're not alone. Among the top symptom complaints women present to me with, hair loss is high on the list. No one wants to lose head hair. In this episode I will unravel the possible causes of your hair loss and where you can start through your diet, supplements, testing and lifestyle practises, to re-gain healthy hair growth once again.

Have you been told you have low iron? Or is this something you've been struggling with for months or years now?

Even if it's not you personally, my guess is you know a sister, friend, mother or daughter who has at some point been 'iron deficient'.

But there is more to the story. Like many areas when it comes to reading blood tests, it's worth digging a bit deeper to really understand your results.

You may not actually be deficient in the first place. Even if you have a true iron deficiency, chances are your treatment is not actually helping you.

I know, I can hear your thoughts. "But what do you mean Kasey?!" So to share more on this topic, I have invited the iron queen herself, Steph Lowe onto the podcast for a chat.

In today's chat we cover:

• The important factors to consider with diet and testing, in your preconception phase.
• The importance of optimal iron in your body for women and in pregnancy, how this supports your growing baby.
• How to check your iron levels through testing.
• If you're being told your levels are low, why you should take a second look at your blood test results .
• The real markers and levels to look for to check for an iron deficiency.
• The underlying causes to real iron deficiency in women.
• What an iron infusion is, the dose of iron included and the health implications of this therapy.
• Stephs steps to holistically prevent and overcome iron deficiency.
• The important cofactors to support your body's use of iron in your body.
• Plus examples of foods and meals for healthy iron levels.

Do you feel the effects of overwhelm, stress or anxiety? Yep, we all do at times, but if this is starting to impact the way you feel on a daily basis, or contribute to debilitating attacks, asking for help is an important first step.

Currently, almost 1 in 7 women in Australia report experiencing an anxiety-related condition. With increased daily pressures, demands and expectations, I'm not surprised. Working predominantly with women over the years as a Naturopath, I've seen how this anxiety builds up and impacts lives.

To help bring awareness to this condition, unravel the causes and talk through some practical ways to support your body and mind through this, I have invited clinical Nuritionist (BHSc)Malissa Fedele onto the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast.

> Malissa's personal experience with anxiety

> Exploring anxiety and how this could look and feel like for you.

> Triggers, imbalances and nutritional deficiencies that may contribute to anxiety.

> What foods and nutrients may help to support your mental health.

> Why how you eat can impact the way you feel.

> Simple but powerful lifestyle practise to help you move through stress and anxiety (plus so much more)

If I asked you what you thought about your period, what would you say?

Do you feel self conscious because of pre period puffiness? Are your breasts sore and tender too?

Do you dread the pain that you suffer with as your period arrives? Or is inconvenient a better description due to your heavy flow?

If you're suffering from stubborn cycle symptoms, it's likely your hormonal system needs a service. These symptoms described are just some that are contributed by a hormone imbalance, called oestrogen dominance.

As a Naturopath, I've seen all sorts of hormone imbalances, ranging from high to low sex, thyroid and adrenal hormones, impacting cycles, skin, weight, moods and more. But I'd have to say the most common imbalance I've come across in clinical practice, is heightened oestrogen levels.

There are multiple reasons your body can have high levels of oestrogen- from overproduction, poor detoxification due to sluggish liver and gut health, as well as the endocrine disrupting substances which mimic oestrogen actions in your body. It's no wonder as you're likley bombarded with these synthetic oestrogens on a daily basis through your food and environment. Yikes!

The heightened oestrogen levels lead to frustrating symptoms and can fuel debilitating conditions like endometriosis.

So if you're intrigued to learn more about these symptoms, causes and most importantly, what you can do about it... tune into my chat with Dr Andrea Huddleston in episode 71 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast.

We cover:

What oestrogen dominance is and the symptoms and conditions that are associated with this hormone imbalance.

At what point should you consider investigation for endometriosis

What endometriosis is, what symptoms are involved, and how this may impact your health and fertility.

What contributing factors are for endometriosis.

Why endometriosis is so prevalent.

Diagnostic tests and conventional treatment options for endometriosis.

The difference between excision and ablation surgery for endometriosis.

Importance of supporting the body holistically when it comes to preventing and treating endo.

Top natural medicine tips if you suffer from endometriosis.

Ever feel like you're chasing your tail when it comes to your child's health?

As a Mum, you're trying your best to provide healthy meals for your little love, but the fussy eating, sleeping issues, behavioural challenges or reoccurring infections just keep on knocking.

Whats the cause? WHY is this happening?

Let me introduce you to a fellow Naturopath who might just have the answers you're looking for.

Ashlee Yates is a degree qualified Children's Health Naturopath supporting children and families through upset tummies, coughs and colds, itchy skin, sleeping issues and everything in between.

As a result of her own experiences as a mum, her clinical focus has developed with a strong interest in the health of children and their families. She now works primarily with families navigating digestive concerns, sleeping issues, recurring illnesses, colic and reflux, eczema, and learning or behavioural concerns.

Ashlee believes that as a parent, you're doing the best that you can with the knowledge and resources that you have available to you at the time. With nutritional and herbal medicine, she is able to complement mainstream medicine.

Her goal is to share her knowledge as a Naturopath with evidence based herbal and nutritional medicine so it can be used safely and effectively in family healthcare.

Ashlee joins me in episode 69 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast.

In todays episode we chat about:

Main health contributors of sleep issues in babies and children.

THRIVING BUBBA, THE HOLISTIC HEALTH GUIDE TO SUPPORT & PROTECT THE GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR BABY ROM NEWBORN & BEYOND: https://www.glowingmumma.com/thriving-bubba

If you're thinking about conceiving, currently pregnant, in your fourth trimester or even months or years post birth, abdominal muscle separation is something that may impact you. I wanted to open up this conversation as I feel like this and other women's health challenges post birth are not openly discussed and women are unfortunately confused and often suffering in silence.

To help inform you, today I welcome Kath Baquie to the podcast.

Kath is a mum of 3 young girls, a physiotherapist for women, and she has an online community, FitNest Mama which helps to provide pregnant and new mothers with the exercises, support & resources they need to move from the overwhelm, the physical aches & pains of pregnancy, the weakness felt after birth, and instead she helps to replace that with the comfort & confidence they need to get their bodies and minds strong again, so that they can get back to doing what they love with a bubba by their side (whether or not that's running around with the kids at the park, or running the next marathon).

In this episode, you will learn:

>> What Diastasis Recti (also known as DRAM or abomdinal muscle separation is.

>> How you can detect it yourself if unable to see a women's health physiotherapist.

>> Ways to best support your core and pelvic floor muscles physically throughout pregnancy... even if you have a toddler at your feet.

>> Safe movement for a new Mum to safely do within her first 6 weeks post birth.
