Periods, Poos & Pimples

We're replaying an old favourite with the super knowledgeable and lovely Joanne Kennedy - the SIBO, MTHFR & Histamine Intolerance expert.

Joanne gives us a complete download of her brain to help us understand methylation and why this is such an important aspect to consider in clients presenting with histamine intolerance.

Within the skin, we can see histamine intolerance present in the form of rosacea, peri oral dermatitis, hives, eczema and acne.

Now there's a lot of hype around methylation and we can be quick to blame our gene expression such as MTHFR gene mutations as the cause of impaired methylation; but throughout this podcast we quickly turn the spotlight away from one genetic SNP and highlight the burden environmental exposures and gastrointestinal infections can have on methylation.

Specifically, we delve into the impacts of SIBO on methylation and how this can impact histamine intolerance. 

In this episode, Jacinta & Joanne discuss:

If you're constantly cycling on and off the pill in the hope that the next time you get off your skin has sorted it's s*** out, then you need to listen to this

Unfortunately whilst you're on the pill, it's masking a HUGE underlying driver of acne being hyper-sebum secretion. But there's a lot more to acne than just a hormonal imbalance and many systems of weakness that you can focus on whilst you're on the pill to reduce the likelihood that your acne will come back with a vengeance once you're off the pill.

But don't stress, we asked our Post-Pill expert at Orenda Phoebe Ackland to come onto the podcast to share the exact strategy she uses with her clients so they can break the viscous cycle of going on and off the ocp.

In this episode, Phoebe will discuss:

Cervical mucus, basal body tracking, LH Test strips & cycle tracking apps - there's a bunch of different ways you can either predict and/or confirm ovulation as well as detect your fertile window phase

Unlike what they teach us in high school, you can't fall pregnant every single day of the month and the pill isn't the only tool to prevent you from falling pregnant (if that's your goal)

Understanding natural cycle tracking methods can be one of the most empowering tools to help you identify your fertile window for both conception and contraception!

Lately at Orenda we have so many new clients that are asking us what kind of skin care brand they should be using for their condition

And we are often spending heaps of time educating our clients on the importance of having their skin care reviewed by a qualified professional so we can make sure that’s not a factor impacting our clients results

So I thought, let's get Lia from Skin Education International back on the podcast to give us the facts about exactly what we should be looking for in our skincare, the importance of quality home prescriptions and the signs to look out for if a product is NOT for you. 

In this episode, Lia also covers details on:


For skin therapists or clients looking for a range of topical skincare products for even the most sensitive skin, Lia is a stockist of the range Prologic, which you can learn more about here and you can also find her over on instagram at @skin_education_international

If you ever feel like you’ve been medically gaslighted before for the systemic adverse reactions that occur once you’ve withdrawn from Topical Steroids, then this is for you.  

In this episode, we speak with one of Jacinta’s clients Jordan Hendey all about his journey from Topical Steroid Addiction, to being hospitalised for blood infections, to then moving to Thailand to receive treatment for TSW. 

Unfortunately in this space, so many individuals are suffering with severe symptoms that are impacting their quality of life and they’re just being told “it’s your eczema flaring, go back on the steroids”. 

When the reality is, TSW is nothing like eczema and steroids aren’t the long term solution.

In this episode we are going by Nurse/Midwife, Personal Trainer & Birth Preparation Body worker Gabrielle Brennan. Gabrielle is dedicated to providing bodywork techniques to help soften the pelvic space to encourage optimal fetal positioning for spontaneous labour!

The overall goal of Gabrielle’s work is to empower women to take control of their labour and troubleshoot the problems that may arise as to why labour may not start or progress by addressing the cause.

Ever wondered how you're supposed to actually teach your children healthy habits with food without instilling fear of their plate or creating restriction?
