The Heal My Health Podcast

I have given my birth prep 150% of my energy and I wanted to share everything that I’ve done and am continuing to do, to prepare my body, mind and support team for birth.

From birth education and research to building my birth team and working with a pelvic floor physiotherapist, all the way to hypnobirthing and calmbirth classes, I chat through the different ways I’ve prepared physically, mentally and emotionally for labour and birth.

This is a very personal episode about how I’m approaching my own birth preparation, what I’ve prioritised, what I’ve learned along the way and the things I’m hoping will help me feel calm, informed and supported when the big day arrives.

If you’re pregnant and wondering “Where do I even start with birth prep?”, this episode is a look inside my complete approach. 🤍

This episode shares my personal experience and preparation choices and is not intended as individual medical advice.

In this episode of I'm talking about one of the simplest foods you can add to your diet for big benefits - chia seeds.

Are they actually as nutritious as we’re led to believe?

Chia seeds have a really cool history as a staple food for ancient civilisations - so we talk about that and about what makes these tiny seeds so nutritionally impressive. We take a look at what the research actually says about their potential health benefits - including blood sugar regulation, cholesterol, heart health and digestive health.

I’ll also answer some of the common questions around chia: Do you need to soak them? How much should you eat? Is chia really one of the highest-fibre foods? And what are the easiest ways to add it to your diet?

A little dive into one tiny seed that packs a surprisingly big nutritional punch!

In this episode I'm joined by one of my oldest friends, Georgia Hare, for a chat that's been years in the making! 

We look back on the season of life where weekends revolved around partying, late nights and not giving much thought to our health or family, and reflect on what inspired us to make a change. We share the moments, people and experiences that shaped our health and how those small decisions led us to where we are today.

We chat about

• How our relationship with health has evolved over the years
• Georgia's fitness journey and what motivated her to start
• The habits and mindset shifts that made lasting change possible
• Our experiences with body dysmorphia and learning to see our bodies differently
• The mentors, friends and resources that influenced us along the way
• Why health isn't about perfection, but about creating a life that feels good to live

Enjoy !

Pelvic floor health is something many women don't think about until symptoms arise, yet it plays an important role throughout every stage of life. In todays episode I sit down with Pelvic Health Physiotherapist Danielle Ryan and explore what the pelvic floor is, the functions, and some of the most common causes and signs of pelvic floor dysfunction.

We also discuss the role of the pelvic floor during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery, including how pregnancy impacts these muscles, ways to prepare for labour, and whether every woman could benefit from seeing a pelvic floor physiotherapist during pregnancy.

Danielle also provides an inside look at what actually happens during a pelvic floor assessment, helping to demystify a process that many women feel unsure about. This episode is full of practical education and empowering insights into an often-overlooked area of women's health.

Breastfeeding is often described as natural, but that doesn't always mean it comes naturally.

On today's episode of The Heal My Health Podcast, we chat with Aimee Sing, a birth doula, lactation consultant, and Calmbirth educator who has dedicated her career to supporting women and families through pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and the postpartum period. Aimee is also the Vice President of Homebirth NSW and co-host of the Australian VBAC Stories podcast.

In this conversation, we focus exclusively on lactation and the early breastfeeding journey. We explore what to expect in those first days and weeks after birth, common challenges new mothers face, the social and emotional aspects of breastfeeding, and practical considerations for establishing a feeding rhythm that works for both mother and baby.

Todays episode we’re joined once again by Ellen Langlands - a mobility and strength coach and owner of Movere. Ellen is one of the most passionate people I know when it comes to health, movement, and living life fully. She brings an incredibly joyful energy that’s contagious to everyone around her, so I wanted to ask her - what’s her secret?

In this episode, Ellen shares her thoughts on cultivating a positive mindset and living with purpose. She also opens up about her deeply personal and inspiring journey of faith, which helped her heal from anorexia nervosa and step into the fulfilling life she now lives as a movement and mobility coach.

I just completed my first half marathon alongside my best friend, and we wanted to talk all about it! In today’s episode, we reflect on our running journey together over the last year - everything we’ve learned not only about running, but about ourselves, each other, and the power of community.

We share our experience of building a consistent running habit, increasing our endurance, and how the process has positively impacted so many areas of our lives beyond fitness. From the tears, panic attacks, and pain - to the breakthroughs, the lessons, and the love, this chat is all about growth, connection, and discovering what we’re truly capable of.

Ashwagandha is a well known adaptogen with a reputation as a natural support for stress and anxiety. In this episode I look at what the research says and if the hype is real.

I also cover important health considerations, including safety, side effects, long-term use, and who should be cautious or avoid it altogether. If you’ve ever wondered whether ashwagandha is worth adding to your routine this episode will give you a clear, evidence-based breakdown.

In this episode, I dive into retatrutide, one of the most talked-about new weight loss drugs currently in development.

I break down how it works as a triple agonist targeting GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors, and what that actually means for appetite, metabolism, and fat loss. I also go through the latest clinical trial results, including how much weight loss has been seen so far and how it compares to other treatments.

I cover the key health considerations, including potential side effects, unknowns around long-term use, and what we still need to learn about body composition changes. I also talk through practical considerations like how it’s typically dosed in studies and what people should be aware of if it ever becomes more widely available. 

If you’re curious about where the science of weight loss drugs is heading, this episode will give you a clear, evidence-based overview without the hype.
