This week Damian and Brett talk about pain. With the recent changes to the availability of Codeine a lot of people have been asking questions about what to do about their pain? How safe is Codeine? Why was it removed from over the counter? What does this mean for other drugs? What other choices are available to manage pain? And what is pain anyway. Damian lets out his inner geek this week and answers all of these questions and more!

This week Damian has just returned from a massive “natural foods” expo in the States and chats to Brett about what he found there. What ensues is a serious conversation about what is being passed off as “natural” in our foods and the ways that the real ingredients are being hidden from us as a less serious conversation about some of the more unusual food products Damian found. So tune in as always for a great combination of information, entertainment and humour from The Wellness Guys.

This week Damian and Brett have the privilege of interviewing Dr Terry Wahls about her amazing journey healing her body from crippling MS and what she has learnt from the process. Terry had gone on to create the Wahls Protocol, a way for everyone to help nourish their mitochondria and heal their bodies. She talks about the importance of essential amino acids, leafy vegetables, sulphur rich vegetables and highly pigmented vegetables and explains how vegans and vegetarians can utilise her protocol as well.

Tery will be visiting Australia in a couple of weeks for the Bioceuticals Symposium in Melbourne.

This week with Damian travelling across to America to find out all of the latest food trends Brett is once again joined by Marcus Pearce. The boys reminisce about their childhood diets, when they were strictest about food, how that worked for them and what their lifestyle looks like now in a rollicking conversation. So tune in to find out all the boys dirty secrets, both then and now and also the old nickname Marcus Pearce owns up to that Brett wants to bring back.

Brett is always experimenting with new and interesting ideas. Barefoot running, Paleo, intermittent fasting, fermented foods, the list goes on. Brett’s latest challenges are a 30 day cold shower challenge inspired by the one and only Wim Hof and the Cross Fit games. Brett has been inspired by the amazing anecdotal stories around the benefits of taking cold showers and ice baths to look a bit closer into the research, to develop his own hypothesis, and to trial it on himself. Damo probes him on what his research found and what results he has seen. The boys also discuss the Cross Fit Games and the balance between being competitive but not getting too carried away with comparisons when it comes to your health and wellness goals.

This week Brett is fresh off of The Wellness Basecamp in Brisbane, so Damo decided that it was a good idea to welcome on Marcus Pearce as well to chat about the experience. The Wellness Basecamp was full of love and community. Not only between the speakers but the exhibitors and the attendees as well. The boys chat about the importance of community and make a very special announcement about The Wellness Basecamp in Adelaide!

This week the boys have a fascinating chat with Mark Sharman and Carmen Alvarado from Sven’s Island about Kanuka honey. The Aotea Kanuka tree is a tree from an island off of NZ and may have even more amazing properties than it’s cousin (the Manuka tree). Both the honey from the local bees and the oil extracted from the leaves have some extraordinary anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Mark’s father in law Sven has been cultivating and extolling the virtues of this amazing plant for years and now it is available in Australia thanks to the Healthy Life stores. The boys can’t wait to get their hands on this new product!
