Two Raw Sisters

Meet Beth, a busy mum and full-time worker who was drowning in chaos, skipping meals, and struggling to keep up. A trap most of us fall into (including us!)

But after discovering the Two Raw Sisters app, Beth flipped the script. No diets or food bags, just sustainable, practical changes that saved her time and cut her grocery bills in half, which in turn boosted her energy and made both work and personal life more productive and enjoyable.

If you're thinking ‘that’s literally me’ this episode is for you. Beth’s story shows how small changes can make a big difference.

Some days cooking feels effortless, and other days it feels completely impossible. That's not laziness, that’s your brain. In this episode, we sit down with Bianca from Neurospark to unpack why stress hijacks your kitchen, what decision fatigue actually does to your food choices, and how understanding your nervous system can make healthy habits feel so much easier.

We’re busting some of the biggest nutrition myths that keep circulating online and in wellness culture, and asking the question: why is there so much confusion when it comes to health?

Sara Widdowson is back for her second podcast residency on the Two Raw Sisters Podcast and today we unpack the marketing, fear, and diet culture behind some of the most common claims and what the science actually says.

We get into:
– Is coffee first thing in the morning actually bad for you?
– Do you really need protein powder to meet your protein needs?
– Are seed oils actually harmful?
– Is soy bad for hormone health?
– And are eggs really bad for cholesterol?

This is a grounded, no-nonsense conversation designed to bring you back to basics, help you feel more confident in your food choices, and take the stress out of eating well.

Food is getting more expensive but a lot of the time, we’re the ones unintentionally driving that cost up.

In this episode, we’re breaking down how to actually eat well without overspending, starting with one simple shift: cooking with what’s in season. We’re in autumn here in New Zealand, and it’s one of the easiest times of year to bring your grocery bill down while still eating nourishing, satisfying food.

We talk through the ingredients we’re loving right now and how to turn them into multiple meals across the week without overthinking it.

We also share our favourite autumn recipes, simple ingredient swaps, and practical tips like batch cooking, freezing, and stretching one veg across several meals.

If your food shop has been feeling heavier lately, this episode will help you reset how you think about cooking, shopping, and what “eating well” actually needs to cost.

This week we’re joined by our childhood idol, Dr Libby, nutritional biochemist and bestselling author, and we unpack why so many women are running on empty.

We get into her concept of Rushing Women’s Syndrome, and how constantly being “on” can affect your hormones, stress levels, weight, and even make your workouts work against you.

We also explore the role of magnesium, one of the most important (and commonly depleted) minerals in the body, and why it plays such a key role in sleep, stress and overall wellbeing.

If you feel tired but wired, constantly busy, or like your healthy habits aren’t quite working the way they should, this conversation is for you. It’s practical, eye-opening and one of our favourite guest episodes yet.

In this episode, we’re tackling the most common kitchen crises.

Ever tossed a batch of snack balls in the bin because they were too dry?
Had a meltdown because your pumpkin cooks slower than your broccoli?
Overnight oats too runny?
Dressing too thick?

Stop.

Before you write the recipe off or throw your food in the bin, listen to this episode. It’s not a boring cooking chat. It’s funny, relatable, and actually really damn helpful.

It will help you relax, ditch the rules, and embrace the art of being intelligently lazy.
