Primal Alternative Podcast

Want to be healthy yourself and feed the family well but can’t be f*cked?

Shan Cooper from My Food Religion is the girl for you! She even has an ebook called Can’t Be F*cked (CBF)

Let’s face it – eating clean is bloody hard work, so much prep and we can often get overwhelmed with super foods, clever marketing and simply running out of motivation – quickly!

In this upbeat episode (with a few f bombs – so please use ear buds if you have little ears around you) you’ll get a tonne of new tips to add more nutrition to exisiting meals – even how to improve a Mac and cheese or rice dish – without getting it thrown back at you at dinner time.

We will also cover Shan’s approach to health and wellness – it’s not a religion or dogmatic in anyway – phew and how her journey started ten years ago as she was ‘sick of feeling shitty’ by being jacked up on processed carbs all day.

And with Christmas just around the corner Shan has some super helpful tips to help from completely derailing – you truly can have your rum ball and eat it my friend!

You can’t change what happens in life but you can build on how you recover from difficult tough times. Dr Brett Hill joins me on the show today to discuss the importance of resilience in turbulent times.

Brett believe that all of the focus has been on the virulence of the virus, and the stress if the financial and mental impacts and the vulnerability of the population but hardly anything on resilience and resistance.

Brett is offering listeners 1 month of group mentoring with him in my new group mentoring program Exercising Resilience (www.exercisingresilience.com).

Dr Brett Hill is host of some of Australia’s top-rated health podcasts, resilience mentor, functional nutrition coach, chiropractor, public speaker, and author of numerous books and e-books. He regularly appears on TV, radio and in print, and his media appearances, seminars, coaching and consulting have inspired thousands of people over the last decade to live a long, happy, healthy life full of energy and vitality.

A divorced and now remarried father of two with a string of entrepreneurial pursuits and life challenges along the way, Brett brings a unique perspective to health and mindset challenges with his communication skills and emotional vulnerability. He has been able to combine his decades of research into building human health and resilience (including study of Health Science, Nutrition and Counselling) with his own personal journey and lessons to help others rediscover their own innate resilience in a profound way.

Dr Brett has been able to share his journey with his three gorgeous children Tom, Charlotte and Timmy who have inspired Dr Brett to take his message to the world in order to create a healthier environment for his family to thrive in.

What does food actually do to your blood glucose when you constantly monitor it? My friend and Health Coach Tracy McBeath tracked her blood glucose to see how her low carb lifestyle was affecting her blood sugar. Then she had a bit of fun and tracked what happened when she went back to her ‘healthy whole food, low fat diet’ of old.

Fascinating insight into something we are all curious about but not keen to try!

When and how do you know if you should do GAPS and do you even need to do it at all?

Today I am joined by Elyse Comerford, an Integrative Nutritionist and Certified GAPS (Gut & Psychology/Physiology Syndrome) Practitioner, Holistic Health Coach, Exercise Scientist, Keynote Speaker, Mentor, and most importantly, Mum to Dylan!

Elyse says: my primary focus for the past few years has been in private practice, helping hundreds of families overcome a whole host of health issues through the implementation of nourishing and healing diary principles, reducing toxic stress, and the GAPS protocol. This has become my specialty, and has led me to work with families all over the world. It has been a culmination of my education and experience in Nutrition, but most importantly my experience in my own healing journey. It is this experience that has driven my passion to empower as many people as possible with the key to their own health. My approach is based on taking the normal “guilt, blame, shame and deprivation” approach and completely turning it on it’s head, focussing instead on healing, nourishing, and listening to the body.

In this episode we explore:

• if and when you should try GAPS
