The After 30 Podcast

Welcome to Season 3!!! We open up a bottle (or 2) of New Zealand Sauv Blanc, celebrate International Sauvignon Blanc Day and talk about Amping Up Your Wine Confidence with wine influencer Angela Aiello. Also known as “Super Wine Girl”, Angela has been changing the world of wine for the past 20 years by democratizing it and making it more accessible. We talk about how we're all feeling about incorporating pleasure into our lives, taking the snobbiness out of drinking wine, the 5 steps to knowing more about the wine in your glass, and how to drink wine with our food. We hope you enjoy the first of Season 3!!

"Women have rewritten every part of our lives, except how we marry. We’re still getting hitched in much the same way that generations before us have, albeit with the added modern pressures of having it be Instagram-perfect.” We chat with Michelle Bilodeau and Karen Cleveland, co-authors of The New Wedding Book: A Guide to Ditching All The Rules, which dropped 3 days ago in Canada. We talk about how you can drop the ball on your authenticity, budgeting, and priorities when you're planning for your big day and how "traditions" aren't really traditions. Michelle and Karen give us some tangible tips on keeping communication at the forefront, thinking about everyone to make events more inclusive and accessible, and sticking true to what's meaningful for your wedding. This ep is packed, we hope you love it!

Sometimes there are no words. This is one such time. We're going into a lockdown again in Ontario and bringing you a much needed pod to calm the nerves and slow down. We’ll let our minds wander with intention, we'll take you through the meditation with the hope of bringing you some peace and calm into your evening. It hasn't been easy for anyone, let's hold the space for each other. 

We hope you love it.

ROAD TRIP! Today we take you back to biology and down the digestive track with Nora de Bora, a Holistic Preconception Planning Coach. We find out why there's been so much hot research around gut health the last number of years, what happens as we get older and what we need to do to reverse any damage we did in our 20's, the effect of gut health on our hormones *and fertility* and we chat about tuning into your body and paying attention to the signals when you're not feeling too hot. Nora schools us on our foods journey from the esophagus, to the stomach, liver, small intestines, and large intestines and gives us tips for specific foods and vitamins for each of these crucial organs. Get your notebooks, this one is fibrous.  

Hope you love it!

At this point in our lives, we know we aught to reject many societal "shoulds".  What we “should” have, where we “should” be at in our careers, what we “should” look like, that we "should" be married with kids, with the suburb house - we don't subscribe to most of that crap. Instead, today we focus on the other, less talked about “shoulds” and "should nots". The ones that foster empowerment, self-love, fulfilment, and freedom. The actions, behaviours and practices that we "should" be in at this point in our lives that make us better people, friends, partners, professionals, and (maybe) parents. We break it down to money, self, body, work, and social situations. So so good. 

Hope you love it.

P.S. Another thing you "should" do is send your friends a cute-ass card to let them know you're thinking of them. Get 'em here. www.theafter30.com/thecards

Do you know if you ACTUALLY shouldn't eat carbs? Do you know if that Vitamin B supplement is better for you than that Probiotic? Did you know that taking a DNA health test is actually incredibly accessible?! A simple swab of the saliva from your cheek can be sent to a lab in Canada and come back with a 200 page report giving you insight into what parts of your DNA are weaker so you can renew and revitalize the DNA embedded in your cells to make improvements in your health and live longer. A process that was previously reserved for University biology labs, is now being made accessible by companies like dnaPower Inc. out of Vancouver, Canada. 

We chat with President and CEO of dnaPower Inc, Dr. Lois Nahirney, about what these tests are actually telling us, and how you can adjust your diet, vitamin intake, and even your fitness behaviour to match your genetic makeup and what you actually need more or less of. We chat about how the body works on a cellular level to understand that you have the power through the influences you put on and in your bodies to course correct for diseases, weight fluctuations, energy levels, and optimal health. We learn how vital this personalised information is as the food we consume is becoming less nutritious, the benefits of finding this information out early for your kids, and how Dr Lois herself (and countless other people they've worked with) have uncovered health issues through these DNA Health tests that doctors and specialists were not effectively diagnosing. 

Simply put, these tests can be a game changer for your health, happiness and can help you live longer. And you only take it once! We've taken ours and we'll be doing a follow-up episode in a few months where Dr. Lois will take us through our results on air! 

Grab your DNA test here with code "after30" and get $50 off on your totalPower or totalPower Connect Product. 

We hope you love it,

We switch things up a bit this week and talk with Ginette Biro, a Medium, Cosmic Channeler, Educator and Kinesiologist about her personal near death experience and account of going to the other side. She describes in vivid detail what she saw, how it happened, and the kinds of choices she was able to make about her life in the here and now. We discuss why being more comfortable talking about and contemplating death will help us live greater lives now, and how to find your purpose even if you haven't had a transcendent experienced. Interesting, triggering, and/or soothing this is a good one to listen to with curiosity and exploration.

Let us know what you think! 

P.S. Send your friends and loved ones a little reminder that you're thinking about them with our custom made After 30 cards here!

Our hair get's thinner, dryer and flatter as we get older - it's just SCIENCE. But we still wanna do everything we can to slow the process. Answer: scalp health. Our guest today is celebrity hair stylist and founder of Pomme Salon and Pommeshell, Nicole Pidherny, who makes it her mission to educate her clients about the "why" behind hair care and scalp health. We learn why the skin on our head it's the source of all good hair (looking at you thinning hair), we chat postpartum hair, green hair care, if supplements like biotin really work (spoiler), hair after chemotherapy, and we get into all the things you might be feeling right now a year into the pandemic (don't box dye). We also gush HARD over Nicole's genius hairbrush invention, The Pomme Brush, and we're sharing the love with you!
