If there's one person who knows how to get us excited about food, it's chef, mum, author and MasterChef alumna, Sarah Todd.

A new issue of Women’s Health hit the stands on Monday featuring the incredible Anna Heinrich in Seafolly, so we thought it would be a good time to revisit the chat we had with her earlier this year where she talks about how putting yourself through immense physical challenges can help you break out of your comfort zone. I hope you enjoy it.

---

For most of her life, Anna Heinrich has suffered from imposter syndrome. You wouldn’t know it from looking at her life from the outside, since she first entered the public sphere almost 10 years ago on the very first season of The Bachelor, where she met her now husband Tim Robards, with whom she shares a daughter, Elle, who is now almost 18 months old.

You also wouldn’t realise it either if you saw clips and photos of her running while on fire and generally beasting it through the challenges in this season of SAS.

But the former criminal lawyer, who recently gave up her career to become a full-time entrepreneur and work on her supplement brand Intu Wellness, says imposter syndrome has plagued her for as long as she can remember.

In this episode, she chats about how challenging herself physically and mentally, helped her to finally overcome it.

She also talks about the importance of sleep, exercise and nutrition in her wellness routine, and how surrounding herself by people who lift her up, has led to her living a life beyond what she originally thought was possible.

Since the start of 2020, more and more Aussies have been looking to natural therapies to help with conditions such as pain, anxiety and sleep issues, even though the number of high-quality clinical trials on these therapies’ efficacy remains limited.

So why the rise in interest?

One big factor: new online clinics have made it easier for people to connect with GPs who have a specialist interest in natural therapies to find out if they are eligible for treatment and if it is the right for them.

In this episode, we chat with Harry Baird, general manager of natural therapies clinic Atlus, to talk about the rise of natural therapies in treating certain conditions, finding medical experts to discuss eligibility and the future of this health treatment.

Now before we get deep into this topic, if you need any further information about anything we discuss in this episode, visit tga.gov.au and make sure you consult a health professional for advice.

Here’s a stat for you: up to 30 per cent of people in Australia have irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, according to Dietitians Australia.

Alcohol had long been a part of Danni Carr’s world, from her early days growing up in central Victoria to her career as a gigging musician. Over the years, drinking impacted so many areas of her life – until one day she decided to team up with her husband and friends to go sober together. And it changed everything. Now, Danni uses her lived experience to help others, both through her work as a sober coach and as the host of the podcast How I Quit Alcohol. In this episode, I chat to Danni about her sobriety journey and the confronting moment that sparked a change. Plus, she gives practical strategies for addressing our relationship with alcohol, becoming a more mindful drinker, and navigating the sober – or sober curious – life.

This month, we’re celebrating the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup 2022 coming to Sydney by highlighting a different player each week in September.

By the time Lauren Jackson retired due to injury in 2016 she was considered the greatest basketball player Australia had ever produced. She’s a four-time Olympic medallist, a three-time WNBA MVP and the only Australian player inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. But, it turns out, she’s not done yet. Early this year, Lauren, 41, signed with the semi-pro NBL1 Albury Wodonga Bandits, and in August she was named in the Opals squad for the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup – a full 12 years after her last appearance in the competition.

In this episode, WH editor-in-chief Lizza Gebilagin chats with the iconic athlete about how she grappled with her demons to pull off a fairy-tale comeback, just by taking it one step at a time.

At the age of 16, Canadian Kia Nurse was already playing basketball for the national team. By 20, she made her Olympic debut at Rio and became a global role model for women in the sport. But while her long-standing career has been one of accolades and triumph, it's also seen Kia navigate a number of setbacks, including an ACL tear that saw her side-lined for much of 2021's season. Never one to give up, though, Kia turned adversity into an opportunity for growth.

In this episode, the basketball star chats with our digital writer Jess Campbell on how her mental resolve helped her overcome injury, navigating the mental challenges of elite sport, and why she always makes time for family.
