(01:16) Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition, and I am delighted to welcome Dafna Chazin into the podcast. Dafna, how are you?

Dafna

(01:22)

Good. How are you?

Stu

(01:25)

Yeah. Very, very good. Thank you. As we mentioned before just off camera, very, very excited to talk about this subject today and pick your brains a little bit because it's a question that comes out almost daily with our audience as well and seems to be ramping up in terms of the prevalence of this particular topic. But first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

Dafna

(01:58)

Yeah. Absolutely. So my name is Dafna Chazin. I'm a registered dietician and I help women with PCOS balance their hormones, reverse their symptoms. And I've been in the field of nutrition for over a decade. I've worked in a lot of different settings, but recently in the past five years, I've landed in the women's health and hormone space, partly because I struggled with hormonal issues myself. I don't have PCOS, but I've struggled with many of the symptoms that women with PCOS experience, like acne and hair growth and painful periods, anxiety, digestive issues. You name it, I've had it. And over the years when I was really struggling, it was a time where my stress was really high. I was in the military actually. My diet wasn't so great, but I wasn't making the connection between what was happening with my hormones and my symptoms and the diet and nutrition. I always thought my nutrition and food only impacts my weight, and that's about it. And now we know that that is absolutely not true.

https://180nutrition.com.au/

(01:12) Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition, and I am delighted to welcome Martin Silva back to the podcast. Martin, mate, how are you?

Martin

(01:19)

I'm really good, thanks, my man. How are you?

Stu

(01:22)

Yeah, very good. Very good. It's been too long, so really, really keen to tap into some of your wisdom today. But first up, for any of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, haven't listened to any of... I think we've done two or three previous episodes, which have been packed full of the most amazing information on body transformation, health and wellness, all of that stuff. I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself please.

Martin

(01:48)

Sure, yeah. Thanks again for having me on, Stu. Really, really appreciate it. [inaudible 00:01:51] just set off here then. I'm sure I've been on this podcast more than Stu, this is like my fifth time or something. Awesome. Yeah, a little bit more about myself. As some of the audience might know, I'm huge... Health and fitness is my life essentially, so I live, breathe, and eat a healthy lifestyle, and I've built a career out of that as well. And I've been within the fitness industry for 15, 16 years now. It sounds crazy, but I still feel like I'm in my early twenties, but I'm actually coming up to 36 now. And I was a qualified personal trainer from the age of 20, and always played sports from a young age, and I've always been just so passionate about fitness.

(02:28) And now it's got to the point where I always say to people, something might start off as your passion, but then it becomes your purpose. Now it's literally, it's my purpose, and what I'm doing now, obviously with the transformation program and everything else... Because I was a personal trainer face-to-face for about 13 years, and then I built an online transformation program, actually just before COVID happened, about three years ago, and I'm having a much bigger impact this way as well. Because as we talked about before, and we'll talk about today, really helping people change their mindset, really upgrade the way they think, and just basically think at a better level, and change their relationship with food and alcohol, which we all know, the stuff outside of the gym... A lot of my clients love the gym part. You know what I mean? That's the fun part. But the stuff outside of the gym, some of them have had more struggles than others in terms of behavior change and everything else.

(03:19) But a bit more about myself. I moved over to Oz just like Stu did quite a few years ago. I haven't been here as long as Stu, but I've been here for six years now. So moved over to Oz, came over here for a year from Wales in the UK, and fast-forward six years, I'm still here, permanent resident now, and living in Sydney, living the dream. And Stu's living even more of the dream up there in Byron Bay, you know what I mean? So we can't complain, mate.

Sure. Yeah. I'm Damon. I'm a clinical psychologist. So I did my research at Monash University in Australia. It was a clinical trial where we saw people with insomnia and depression, and they'd been given antidepressants, and they weren't improving as much as they'd like to. So we gave them four sessions of CBTI or cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, and we found that it improved their sleep, but it also improved their mood and depression, their anxiety, their stress, and also their fatigue. So it had a huge impact.

Bela

(01:20)

I'm great. How are you?

Stu

(01:21)

Yeah, very well, thank you. Very well. Really pleased that we managed to connect and intrigued and enthusiastic about sharing your story and your knowledge today because you've got an interesting story and I know that our listeners are going to be aligned with what you have to tell us.

Bela

(02:09)

Absolutely. Hi everyone. I am actually from Brazil. I played tennis my whole life, so I'm a former tennis player. I went to college to actually study business management and I actually found out to be not my path. And then I went through a divorce, and like most of us, when we go through a big transition in our lives is when we have that wake up call. And for me was to actually follow what I really wanted to do, which was to study everything related to holistic health. So I invested my time and my energy in learning and developing better communication and habits when it comes to mindset, psychology, everything related to neuroscience, personal training, nutrition. So I could actually grasp a better idea of how can I impact the world in healing, transforming their lives and living their best lives.
