The Natural Health Podcast

In this episode of The Natural Health Podcast, Mihaela explores the powerful themes of holistic health and the transformative energy of Scorpio season. She dives into the importance of detoxification and elimination during this time, with a focus on both physical and emotional wellness. Mihaela emphasizes how Scorpio’s energy supports the removal of what no longer serves us, and how you can align with it for optimal health.

She also shares valuable dietary recommendations, including the role of beetroot in enhancing sexual health due to its high nitrate content, which supports nitric oxide production. Additionally, Mihaela sheds light on a surprising health risk: mouthwash. Specifically, antiseptic mouthwash can negatively impact sexual function by disrupting the bacteria in your mouth that aids in the conversion of nitrates to nitric oxide.

As Scorpio season invites us to shed old patterns, Mihaela encourages listeners to identify and eliminate three things from their lives—whether they be unhealthy foods, habits, or toxic influences—to fully embrace this transformative period.

In this episode of The Natural Health Podcast, Mihaela explores the beauty, balance, and health implications of Libra season through the lens of medical astrology. Libra, ruled by Venus and an air sign, is all about harmony, balance, and grace. However, with this focus on balance, individuals may experience physical imbalances such as kidney issues, fluid retention, diabetes, and hormonal imbalances.

Discover how Libra's ruling influence on the kidneys, adrenals, and skin impacts health, and how to nurture your body during this time. Additionally, the episode features fascinating research on the bond between dogs and their owners, shedding light on how pets can significantly boost mental health by releasing oxytocin and reducing stress.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Andrew Timos, an experienced osteopath and strength coach, to discuss the importance of training smart, not hard, and the concept of true muscle hypertrophy. Dr. Timos explains how applying the right training stimulus at the right time can maximise results and minimise injury. He also challenges the common misconception that gym training is just about building muscle and losing fat. Instead, he stresses the need to focus on improving strength, speed, power, and overall quality of life.

Dr. Timos highlights the critical role of muscle strength in longevity and healthy ageing, pointing out that maintaining muscle mass becomes increasingly important as we age. He discusses how training heavy and fast is crucial to preserving muscle fibres, particularly type 2 fibres, which are essential for movement and force production.

The episode also delves into periodisation in training, the importance of rest and deload weeks, and why proper positioning during exercises is key to preventing injury. Dr. Timos dispels myths like knee valgus being safe and shares insights from his work with elite athletes, explaining how strength training can improve their performance.

Key Takeaways:
Train Smart, Not Hard: Applying the correct stimulus at the right time maximises results and reduces injury risk.
More Than Muscle & Fat: Training isn’t just for building muscle and losing fat—it’s about improving overall strength, speed, power, and quality of life.
True Muscle Hypertrophy: Real hypertrophy involves both myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic growth, taking 10-20 weeks to develop.
Strength and Longevity: Muscle strength is a key indicator of healthy ageing; maintaining it is crucial as we grow older.
Heavy & Fast Training: To counter the decline in type 2 muscle fibres, it’s essential to lift heavy and fast, especially with free weights.
Periodisation: Structured training phases, with a focus on strength followed by conditioning, are key to success.
Rest & Recovery: Deload weeks allow the body to adapt, recover, and avoid injury.
Knee Valgus: This inward knee collapse increases the risk of injury and should be avoided through proper positioning.
Elite Athletes & Strength Training: Strength training is critical for elite athletes, improving their performance and running economy
