This Week In Wellness

The other day Brett was contacted by one of our listeners who was lamenting that they have listened to our show for years, they have attended The Wellness Summit and they are still struggling to breakthrough, to make the changes they wish to make. Why is that? What holds people back from making a change? What is the barrier that needs to be overcome so that people can break through? Laurence, Damian and Brett discuss all of this and more in another great episode of The Wellness Guys Show!

After 281 episodes the boys finally bite the bullet and talk about sex. Not an easy topic for 3 blokey blokes with a predominantly female audience (Laurence can barely get the word out in his intro) so the boys decided to get in a sexpert and the conversation goes well beyond just sex. This week the boys talk to Elise Carr from Stella Muse about all things wellness, empowerment, and of course sex. Be sure to tune in for what is a fantastic discussion about male and female roles, empowerment, relationships and life.

p.s. here is the article Elise mentions in the show

This week Damian is away, Laurence is about to head overseas and Brett has just been driving back and forth between Melbourne so the boys thought it would be a good time to talk about how they keep in shape when they are traveling. The conversation starts with some great insights into what prevents us from exercising in general but particularly while we are on holidays. It then morphs into some great tips from Laurence and Brett about how to keep on shape on the road and all the different ways you can incorporate your exercise into your trip rather than around your trip. So whether you travel a lot or not there are some great tips in here for everyone around staying in shape!

This week Brett and Damian interview Jo Lam about organic skin care.  Jo shares with us her wealth of information about the products that are available on the market and why she has chosen the products she has for her shop orli.com.au. She also shares with us her go to ingredients for skin care you can either make yourself or look for in a shop and which ingredients should be red flags when you are reading your labels. And it’s not just for the girls. Guys need to consider things like deodorants, toothpastes and shaving products as well. So everyone should tune in for this engaging and informative episode.

p.s. Jo has asked us to add the additional note for clarification

“One of the first points we spoke about was around regulation. I made the comment that cosmetics in Australia are not regulated by the TGA unless they claim to have therapeutic benefits. I should specify that this is true for most cosmetics but certain sunscreens, skin whiteners and anti-acne treatments do fall under the TGA regulation.

Skincare labels obviously have to comply with the ACCC standard for labelling but that gives us little or no assurance surrounding the toxicity or health impact of the individual ingredients on the label.

Cosmetic INGREDIENTS have to be listed under the National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS). The fact that cosmetic ingredients and industrial chemicals fall under the same umbrella speaks for itself, which is why I always stress the importance of doing your own independent research.

Obviously if a product is certified by the ACO, NASAA or any other organic certifier, it provides some assurance that it meets the standards of those independent bodies.”
