Roll With The Punches

'Everybody's different'.

Yeah, yeah... it's been said for years. But it's not entirely helpful, is it? How some people get up at 6am, smash a HIIT class, eat a high protein breakfast and end up looking like an athlete who has done just that. Yet the next person follows that exact same plan and ends up exhausted, frustrated and with more body fat then when they started.

It's called epigenetics, and the great news is that it's no longer a mystery. 

This episode is a rerelease of the very first conversation with Dr. Cam McDonald, CEO of Precision Health Alliance that we recorded back in episode 9 in 2020. But given that is close to 500 conversations ago and takes a lot of searching back through the catalogue to find (and I'm ALWAYS referring people to it) I thought I'd throw it back on for a rerun.

If you’re interested in improving your health, lifestyle, mental, social or emotional wellbeing then this episode is going to float your boat. Dr. Cam McDonald is the man when it comes to the research and the proven science behind why some of us can walk past a bakery and gain 10 pounds while others can get up and smash a 6am HIIT workout every day and end up with WORSE health for doing it (I know right!).

Hands up if you ever overthink and worry about sh*t that 'might' happen... Yeah, me too. 

Guess what... 94% of that rot never actually happens (that's a real stat btw).

Hands up if you ever spend as much time thinking and feeling excited and grateful for the good things that also 'might or might not' happen... Thought so. Sounds crazy doesn't it? But what's really crazy is that we do it with the negative stuff and not the positive. And what's crazy is the effect it has on our perception, behaviour and overall wellbeing. 

This is a short ep about the idea of how we wind ourselves up over circumstances and experiences that don't even exist yet and how we might perhaps tackle them instead.

If you haven't taken a look at the angelic face of today's guest on the cover art for this episode, go take a look. Because when we talk to guests about what it's like being in the middle of a war zone, it's quite often trained military personnel. Sure, Helen is trained, but for love, not war.

So, this year when trouble unfolded for our Ukranian friends, Helen (after pledging in her previous chat with me she wouldn't be embarking on another crisis for a while and instead taking some time for herself) packed her backpack and plonked herself right there in the thick of it. 

Bombs, guns, conflict, terror, uncertainty and trauma. 

I don't know about you, but I've never thought too deeply about the reality of what that might be like... because, let's be honest, it kind of just feels like that's just stuff for the movies and TV. 

Enjoy!

ADHD, hey! Used to be a thing the odd rowdy kid at school got labeled with. Is it that we are seeing an increase in cases now, or have we simply improved our means for diagnosis? I don't know, but it appears that 5-10% of the population falls into this category either way.

Third time's certainly a podcasting charm with Karen Hurd. On her third and equally brilliant appearance on the show, nutritional healer and biochemist, Karen is sharing some pretty valuable insights around harnessing the potential and brilliance of the ADHD brain and understanding just how big the levers are that we can pull via nutritional healing alone.

In this chat you'll hear a blow-by-blow description (Hurd style) of how the neurotypical and ADHD brain's function and fire messages, and what's actually happening from a technical and biological perspective. You'll hear how quickly, simply and effectively (I say simply, but let's not mistake that for easily) the resolution can take place and those who have battled with the chaos can unlock a level of output that is beyond their wildest dreams. 

She sure made me take notice.

The title will become apparent at the end of this conversation... if you're on my socials, you're already well aware of what it pertains to. Sadly, this is a long chat, split in two halves, so that particular story is nestled into one of these two parts... Is it this one??  Amidst the hysteria of that story in this banter I fire a bunch of questions thoughts and ideas his way and see what gold he rolls out with... plenty, as you can imagine! From finding the balance between providing emotional and psychological safety amidst the practicality of building resilience to exploring our relationship with stuff, stuff culture and stuff obsession. Human potential, why do we waste it? And why is mediocrity a gift?

Oh yeah, and the story you're all waiting to hear in it's full glory... Harp reflecting on his massage table trauma... Enjoy!

I recently threw my hat in the ring and came out on top as the award-winning 'PHed Talk' speaker for the Precision Health Alliance Professional Medical Series (Pro Series) Gala Dinner. These are eight minute TED style talks designed to educate, inspire and engage individuals around PH360 epigenetic science. 

I've been a PH360 coach for two years now and it's fair to say that I'm a flag flying advocate of the science... approached with immense curiosity and intrigue from the get-go but carrying along my usual dollop of healthy skepticism, it seems Precision Health Alliance have won me over and provided a knowledge base that has undeniably evolved my ability to self-manage my own body and mind as well as enhance my ability to coach, lead and interact across the board, personally and professionally. 

So... This is the recording of that PHed Talk.

In a world where human cyborgs are fast becoming a thing, where our technological evolution is surpassing our biological evolution and the sheer pace of the lives we live is ever increasing, Jem Fuller is back on the show as we unpack ideas around how we might find a sense of 'okay-ness' amidst it all. 

From recognising how vastly insignificant yet simultaneously significant we are, to exploring our ego, our reality and our relationship with our reality, Jem brings some jems of wisdom our way with both lived experience and the work he has delved into since. Our good lad is an award-winning author, a speaker, a coach and a deep thinker. And as I eluded to, he's no stranger to the show as we first heard from him in ep337 on finding purpose.

Dean Yates is a journalist, about-to-be-published author, mental health consultant and a former patient of Ward 17, a Melbourne psych unit that treats veterans and first responders. Now residing in Tasmania, his book is set to release in 2023 and tell the tale of his experience with PTSD and moral injury as a result of his longstanding work as a foreign correspondent. Over the years Dean covered the 2002 Bali bombings and the Boxing Day tsunami of 2004, but it was 12 July 2007 that changed his life irrevocably – while violently taking the lives of two of his colleagues in Iraq. A circumstance which Dean personally (yet wrongly) felt he bared the responsibility for. 

Six years Dean has spent penning his story together with the resources he believes can and will make a difference for those who have, continue to and will in the future, walk in his shoes in the name of their career as first responders, military, conflict journalists and law enforcement alike.

'Don't be silly, it's just one drink.' Or is it?

There's a vast gap between sobriety and alcoholism, but where is the elusive line in the sand where our relationship with this widely accepted substance becomes problematic. Is it only when we wake up in the morning and can't function without alcohol? Is it only when our loved ones view us as an alcoholic? Surely it's only when we have to go to meetings, right? Or if we look more closely, is there a real 'grey area' in our drinking habits where numbing and self-destruction is the silent norm?

Did you know that alcohol is one of the few substances from which withdrawal can be fatal? I sure didn't know this until Sarah Rusbatch gave me the lowdown. Sarah is a Grey Area Drinking Coach (yep, it's a thing) and she's helping thousands of high functioning, seemingly 'got-it-together' women cut their destructive ties with the demon drink.

Sarah shares her own experience with booze and the slippery slope she found herself on before swapping out the spirits for soda and pulling her sh*t together to tap into the potential that alcohol was drowning out.
