Joining us today is Jade Walker, a Naturopath who specialises in Women's Reproductive issues, gut issues and chronic immune disorders issues. 

Today we'll be discussing How to manage Endometriosis and IVF.

About Jade Walker
As a degree-qualified Naturopath who’s worked amongst many health professionals, Jade has been able to help many people recover and live lives they didn’t think were possible.

Personally, she experienced a long-term battle with terrible period pain, gut issues and wavering moods before finally realising she had SIBO and endometriosis. She went on for years (in fact 18 years ’til diagnosed endo), not getting answers. Multiple visits to the ED, doctors and even a laparoscopy, and every time she was told everything’s “normal”. 

It wasn’t until studying a bachelor of health science in Naturopathy that Jades eyes opened to the possibilities of 1) what her condition could be and 2) what can actually be done to heal. 

So after researching, healing herself, and helping hundreds of clients, Jade now dedicates her life’s purpose to help other women be able to experience a better quality of life. 

P.S. my second laparoscopy with an advanced trained excision surgeon did indeed confirm I had endometriosis.

Dr O'Hara walks us through her assessment and treatment strategies of these complex conditions and reminds us that children with neurodevelopmental conditions are like gifts wrapped in many layers of wrapping paper and how it's our job as practitioners to unwrap these layers to reveal the gift inside.

Are you the kind of practitioner that loves to support clients all the time, even if it means you risk burning out? What if I told you there is a better way to get great results without burnout!

Today's episode welcomes practitioner mentor Hayley Stathis, who is chatting to us about how we can help multiple clients at once using a hybrid practice approach.

About Hayley:

I'm Hayley, Online Business & Marketing Coach for Health & Wellness Practitioners

I help you package up your expertise into a brand and online business you love, easily attracting an abundance of clients (without burning out!)

Trust me, I know all about burnout from my previous 14-year Marketing career (that saw me drag my adrenals back to study Nutrition & Naturopathic Medicine!) 

When I opened my own Clinic, I became obsessed with systems to work smarter, not harder and I created & launched online courses, group coaching programs & high-value transformations for my clients.

Now, I coach other savvy practitioners to have what I have 😉

Today we welcome back Jess Wilson, who's a functional nutritionist who feels that we all need a little more joy in our life.

 In this episode, Jess talks about the joy hormone oxytocin, the impact of gut health on our mood, and shares some ideas on how to help our clients feel more joy.

About Jess Wilson:

Hi, I’m Jess, and this is me.

I believe the reason I was put on this planet is to inspire people to live a big, healthy, joyful life. Ever since I was little, I’ve been great at two things: doing hard stuff, and inspiring others. What I didn’t realise is that these two things would eventually become my destiny.

When my children were born I was faced with the hardest challenge of my life. They were sick – very sick – and at the hands of the medical system, I found myself in a four-year-long fight for their health that would very nearly break them (and me).

In the darkest of hours, with a fire of determination burning in my belly and my ever-present there’s-always-a-way attitude, I turned to the healing power of food to help us, and our world started to turn around.

I learned that the human body is capable of incredible things. I learned that taking responsibility for your health was the most powerful choice you could ever make. I learned that we are not invincible. That we do break. But that we can fix ourselves too.  I learned that leading with love and following your heart meant learning to love yourself, too.

And that on the other side of the struggle is a big, healthy, joyful life. Now, I get to inspire others. I’m on a mission to take my story global and to lift people up.

I’m a Functional Nutritionist, Gut Health and Hormone Practitioner and All-Round Wellness Coach. I’m also a busy mum, an ocean lover and a runner… who loves to live a vibrant life (usually flying by the seat of my pants.)

My job is to help you put yourself back together, to see you happy and healthy again, And to teach you that this one big happy life we have is worth living, in the healthiest way.

Let’s work together. I want to see you win.

Today we're joined by Natasha Sidoti, a naturopath who blends distinctive listening skills and body language cues with modern science to achieve a more telling patient case.

Natasha observes the pattern of languaging and phrasing from a client resulting in some vast clues to what is going on with your patient.

About Natasha:

After realising her cc debt was predominantly from health food stores, Tash decided to return for Uni once more and complete her Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy, leaving behind her original career path in Human Resources, Not for Profit work and Office Management.

Her adolescent years were spent in New Zealand, with a step-father who opened her eyes to organic farming and what it means to feel well from the inside out. 

Now, Tash has a busy clinical practice in the Northern Beaches of Sydney and also loves speaking with health practitioners across Australia, providing technical support, training and GI-MAP guidance. The best of both worlds!

Over the years, Tash has become increasingly curious about the correlation between client language patterns, gut microbiome markers and digestive clinical symptoms. 

This parallel linguistic interest compliments the Naturopathic framework to 'treat the whole person', with equal respect to both the verbal descriptives and functional testing biomarkers. 

The more we truly listen to what is said, HOW it is phrased and what is UNsaid.... the more we can do for our patients. 

Tash appreciates the nuanced detail one can gain from our unique microbes as much as the detail that can be gaged from client communication patterns.

Combining these observations is where the magic can really happen and longer-term, sustainable improvements are possible.
