Are you exhausted, anxious or sleeping badly? Or maybe you have low energy, irritability, gut issues, period problems or poor thyroid function? 

I speak with women daily who are doing things like fasting and HIIT training, which may actually be impacting their metabolism and body function on a whole.

So, if you’ve ever skipped a meal, skipped breakfast and maybe had a coffee or 2 instead or restricted your calorie intake, this episode is for you.

Here’s what I cover:

• The “male bias” and how it impacts science and what we know about health and nutrition
• Intermittent fasting - is it good for the female metabolism?
• What you need to know about coffee - is it bad for you? Should you give it up?
• The problem with calorie restriction
• The number one skill you need to learn on your journey to help you kick all your health goals

There are a lot of people sharing videos online trying to normalise bloating, but the thing is, severe, and uncomfortable bloating is absolutely not normal. It’s a sign of a deeper issue, and you don’t have to put up with looking 6 months pregnant. It IS normal to have a slight expansion in your belly after eating, but only slight.

You might think that all bloating is the same, but there are actually different types of bloating, each with different causes.

In this episode, I’m sharing with you:

• The 3 types of bloating

• What’s at the root cause of each type

• How to fix your bloating

• When to consider doing a gut microbiome or SIBO test

In this episode, I’m sharing with you:

• The pitfalls of the extreme vegan and carnivore approaches when it comes to gut health

• The benefits of plant foods and animal foods for gut health

Many of the women I speak with are super confused about all the conflicting information out there when it comes to things like which foods to eat for fertility and pregnancy, the best prenatal vitamin to take, and which lab tasting is beneficial. And I want to help you get the answers you need to feel really empowered around your health, and to help you get the best outcomes in terms of supporting your fertility, pregnancy and a healthy baby.

So this week I’m introducing you to my newest team member, Andisha Butterfield, who is a Functional Nutritionist and Registered Nurse specialising in fertility and pregnancy.

Here’s what we cover in the episode:

• The nutrients and foods that are key for optimising fertility

• The main foods to avoid to prepare for conception

• Functional lab testing for fertility, including HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis), which is an awesome test for fertility and pregnancy that looks at our mineral status
