Katie Brindle looks into one of the most common yet misunderstood health issues of modern life... gut health!

If you’re struggling with bloating, fatigue, cravings, constipation, diarrhoea, unexplained weight changes, or simply feeling “off,” Katie tells you why the root cause may go far beyond food. Katie's been a Chinese Medicine Practitioner for over 25 years, and she uses the wisdom of Chinese medicine, to share how stress, poor routines, overconsumption of wellness advice, and disconnection from natural rhythms could be silently damaging your digestion.

Katie also breaks down why the spleen is considered one of the most important organs in Chinese medicine, how stress diverts blood away from your digestive system, and why simple habits like eating at regular times, chewing properly, walking after meals, and avoiding iced drinks, can make a huge difference.

Katie Brindle and Victoria Woodhall look at one of the biggest drivers of poor health in modern life... inflammation.

They talk through everything from chronic stress and poor sleep to gut issues, hormone changes, and the pressures of 21st-century living, they also look at why so many of us feel tired, bloated, foggy, and run down, especially during midlife and menopause.

In this conversation, Katie and Victoria also look at the simple, practical ways to help lower inflammation naturally, including:

- Why stress management may matter more than supplements
- The surprising link between gut health, hormones and inflammation
- Foods that may help, from flaxseeds to high-polyphenol olive oil
- Why how you eat matters just as much as what you eat
- Simple habits to improve circulation, digestion and sleep

What if the key to better health isn't another supplement, cold plunge or productivity hack, but just learning how to prioritise what really matters?

In this episode of Own Your Health, Katie Brindle is joined by mindset coach and author Lily Silverton, creator of The Priorities Method and author of Prioritise This.

Katie and Lily look at why so many of us feel overwhelmed, stressed and stretched thin by modern life, and how small daily choices shape our wellbeing far more than we realise. They talk about how we navigate caring responsibilities, work pressures and burnout to dealing with rejection, comparison and social media.

Katie and Lily also discuss the rise of biohacking culture, why human connection remains one of the most powerful wellness tools available, and the simple habits that can really improve mental and physical health without costing a fortune.

You've cleaned up your diet, you're exercising regularly, and yet the belly fat still won't budge. Sound familiar? In this episode of Own Your Health, Katie Brindle looks at why the answer may have less to do with calories and more to do with what is happening inside your body. 

Katie draws on the principles of Chinese medicine, to explain how stress, emotions, digestion, and energy flow can all contribute to stubborn belly fat, particularly as we get older. She reveals the roles of the liver, spleen and lungs in storing and processing excess energy, why feelings such as frustration, overwhelm and resentment may be affecting your waistline, and how everyday habits like eating cold foods or rushing meals could be working against you. Katie also shares simple techniques, including breathing exercises, body tapping and Qigong-inspired movement, that may help support your body's natural ability to restore balance and release what it no longer needs. 

Katie Brindle is joined by transformational coach and author Poppy Delbridge for a conversation about subconscious beliefs, nervous system healing and the hidden emotional patterns shaping our lives.

In this episode, Katie and Poppy talk about why so much of our behaviour happens beneath conscious awareness, how limiting beliefs are formed, and why many women struggle with feelings of “not enoughness” despite external success.

Poppy explains her concept of “invisible mind patterns”, how the nervous system resists change, and shares practical tools including tapping, affirmations and emotional regulation techniques designed to help people move from fear into abundance.

Liz shares why, at 63, she feels stronger, fitter and happier than ever before, challenging the idea that ageing has to mean decline. Katie and Liz talk about the hidden ways modern living may be affecting our sleep, hormones, stress levels and long-term wellbeing, from artificial light and EMFs to our disconnection from nature and natural rhythms.

In this episode of Own Your Health, Katie Brindle looks at why hay fever is affecting more people than ever before, and why pollen might not actually be the real problem. Drawing on the principles of Chinese medicine, Katie explains how stress, inflammation, digestion, sleep, and modern lifestyle habits could all be contributing to worsening symptoms.

Katie shares practical techniques designed to help relieve hay fever symptoms fast, including breathing exercises, acupressure, body tapping, gua sha, sleep-supporting rituals, and simple changes to food and daily habits. She also explains the connection between the lungs, immune system, stress response, and inflammation — and why strengthening the body may be more important than simply avoiding pollen.

If you’re tired of sneezing, itchy eyes, blocked sinuses and relying on antihistamines every summer, Katie offers a completely different perspective on hay fever and what you can do about it naturally.

What has Chinese medicine ever done for you? In this episode of Own Your Health, Katie Brindle - Chinese medicine doctor, Yang Sheng practitioner and bestselling author with over 25 years of experience, busts the biggest myth about Traditional Chinese Medicine... that it's just acupuncture and herbs!

Discover how this 3,000 year old health system can transform the way you feel, look and live, using simple self-care techniques you can do at home for free. Katie breaks Chinese medicine down into three powerful pillars for modern life: improving circulation, learning to purge and nourish the body, and strengthening the five key organs (heart, lungs, liver, spleen and kidneys).

You'll learn why over 80% of modern illness is rooted in poor circulation, how cold showers, morning daylight walks, shaking and tapping can dramatically boost your energy, and why your liver holds far more than just toxins, including, according to Chinese medicine, the blueprint of your soul.
