Did you know what you place on your skin, ends up in your bloodstream? This is something I’m constantly reminding my girls when they attempt to draw on their skin.

The movement of low-tox and body skin care products is starting to gain momentum as people are finding out about the harmful ingredients that make up their fav products.

You're most likely aware of this for skin & body care products, but something that is often ignored is the fact that what you wear closest to your skin, can also impact your health, particularly your hormones.

Did the penny just drop? Are you thinking about all the items that make up your wardrobe?

Over the past couple of years, I’ve been much more conscious about the choices I make when purchasing clothes- opting for less, higher quality items, or those I will get the most wear from. But there'e something more important I'm looking at- the material it's made form.

Today, I discuss an overlooked but incredibly important topic: the materials we surround ourselves with daily—our clothing, bedding, and even towels—and how they can impact hormone health.

Plus, I share healthier, low-tox alternatives and practises that support your hormone health, fertility and so much more.

Hormone Reset Program

For those following along on socials, you’ll know that I’ve recently caught the running bug. But for those who are part of my Hormone Reset program might be surprised by my recent choice of movement styles. This is because I actually warn off running, unless done properly. It can mess with your hormones, lead to injuries and worsen exhaustion.

So why am I doing this? What can go wrong with running? & most importantly, how can you support your hormone health while exercising?

All this plus more is covered in today's chat with exercise physiologist Chloe Walker.

Did you know that Lindt & Sprüngli, the renowned Swiss chocolatier, is currently facing a class-action lawsuit in the United States concerning allegations of elevated levels of heavy metals lead and cadmium in its dark chocolate products. The lawsuit, initiated in February 2022 was spurred by a 2022 Consumer Reports investigation that tested 28 dark chocolate bars sold in the U.S., revealing that certain Lindt products (including 70% and 85% cacao bars) contained higher-than-acceptable levels of these heavy metals!

So today, I’m going to dive into lead, the sources (including chocolate), impacts of exposure and what we can do to both prevent high lead exposure and detox our bodies daily, from inevitable sources. Yes, I chat about what chocolate I’ll be reaching for instead.

When I first started out as a Naturopath I was working for another clinic and I was supporting women through the menopausal stage of life- with major flushes, mood swings and weight challenges. I saw it all.

Personally my cycles are regular- they come & go with ease (something I’ve helped rebalance over the years). However as I approach my 38th birthday, I cant help but start to wonder...what will the years ahead look like for me?

Peri-menopause, journeying into menopause and what will be supportive to help me through the phase of life.

Yep, all topics included in todays podcast episode with the inspiring Terry Tateossian.

Terry Tateossian is fitness & lifestyle coach, a personal trainer, nutritionist, hormone specialist, emotional eating coach, and podcast host of the How Good Can It Get Podcast. Terry's passion & experience of helping women regain confidence, ignite wellbeing and find their true purpose has been propelling her forward for the past 25 years.

She helps to redefine the aging experience for women over 35+ through her wellness coaching, retreats, events & curated experiences at The House Of Rose.

I was shopping for a gift with my girls and we stumbled across a series of books- each one representing the individual zodiac signs. The books were aimed at children, so I thought it'd be nice to get one for each of us so the girls could understand a little about what being a cancer and Aquarius means. Truth is, I was also secretly excited to learn a little myself as my understanding of astrology is very basic.

The girls have loved learning their star sign symbols, what the constellations look like in the nights sky and yes, they've even fought over wanting each other's birth gemstones.

When it comes to the stars, it appears many of us are missing out on real nuggets of wisdom that could be guiding us to live an aligned, purposeful life.

Have you ever found yourself reaching for that chocolate bar after a long, stressful day? Do you sometimes eat not because you’re hungry, but because you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, angry, or even bored? If you’re a busy women juggling work, family, and everything in between, these scenarios might sound all too familiar. Emotional eating is more than just a moment of weakness; it’s a coping mechanism that many of us develop to handle big emotions and even lack of self worth.

If you're curious to explore the reasons behind emotional eating, how it affects our physical and mental health, and, most importantly, strategies to manage it effectively, you're in the right place.

I used to have insomnia.

When I first moved to Adelaide (from Kangaroo Island), the fast paced and noisy big smoke put me in a state of frazzle. I'd tried every trick and herb in the book, but I still wouldn't go to sleep until I was utterly exhausted.

When I started studying, I put this and many of my other symptoms down to 'adrenal stress' and then I was convinced I developed a state of 'adrenal fatigue'. Well that's what testing showed too.

But the functional medicine community was missing parts of the puzzle when it came to stress and the adrenal glands and how this impacts your health.

& yes, this stress response I'm talking about governs the health of your energy, moods, skin, sleep, cycles, weight & more.

We now know the 'adrenal stress' and 'adrenal fatigue' concept are actually a misrepresentation of what is really happening with your hormone production, in response to stress.

Want to know what piece of the puzzle you could be missing when it comes to your health?

Why you don't have adrenal fatigue but where your frustrating energy, sleep, cycle, cravings, weight gain, mood swings, anxiety symptoms could really be coming from?

Today for episode 107 of the Back To The Paddock podcast, I'm joined by a friend and fellow women's health mentor, Steph Bartlett as we share personal stories of when cortisol goes crazy and delve into what this means for your health outcomes.

Know someone with a lisp?

Or perhaps you've questioned if your child's language or speech development is on par with their age?

Maybe you feel completely clueless as to what to expect, as this is your first time around as a parent?

I'll admit, I've found myself wondering at times if my daughters word pronunciations need following up with. Then I realise their actual age and have a giggle at my over analysing nature.

But on the other hand, if small challenges in language and speech development are ignored, this could lead to more therapy needed later in life. It's a tricky one.

So that's why we turn to experts, like Speech Pathologist Chloe Cocks.

When trying for a baby, and supporting yourself through pregnancy and post partum, it can be so effective to draw wisdom and support from multiple modalities and practises.

Today we are diving into the world of traditional Chinese Medicine. This is not an area of expertise for me, but I have certainly felt the benefits personally and in shared clients with TCM practitioners, for supporting a journey into and throughout motherhood.

I have with me today my very first international guest, Los Angelas based fertility expert Dr Beck Hoen, to explore this modality with us.

Breastfeeding experiences for one Mumma can be completely different from another. It can also be an emotional roller coaster, especially when mixed with broken Mumma sleep.

There can be frustration, pain, exhaustion, overwhelm, heartbreak, but also an abundance of love & oxytoxin experienced throughout a mothers breastfeeding journey. Geez, some days you may experience all of the above!

When it comes to nursing, like all areas of motherhood there are different techniques, challenges... and even more opinions.

Gaining support from a qualified International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) is something I will always recommend, but I have to admit I also personally adore listening to the experience of other Mums. I take what resonates and go with my gut.

Common breastfeeding challenges amongst Mums include supply issues (over and under) and many will experience some degree of mastitis. So when guidelines change, as they have recently with the way the Academy Of Breastfeeding view and treat mastitis, I like to explore the why behind it.

Hence inviting one of my fav lactation consultants back for a chat- Hannah Willsmore. Hannah joins me for episode 98 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast.

I often find myself wondering about what the future world looks like for our little loves. I'm sure I'm not alone.

If we took a night's worth of mainstream media, the wondering soon turns to worry with words like Climate Change and extreme weather events being thrown around. But as always, by limiting the mainstream media as your #1 source of information, you're missing some important truths.

Instinctively, I've know for years that there was more to the climate agenda than what we're being lead to believe and over the years the facts are backing this up. So let's get curious and keep an open mind as we delve into this discussion with fellow regenerative farming enthusiast, Cyndi O'Meara.

Cyndi is a Nutritionist, best-selling author, international speaker and founder of Changing Habits and The Nutrition Academy but also has much to say when it comes to the health of our planet.

Here's some thongs you'll learn:

The ancient apocalypse
Natural weather patterns and the difference between climate warming v’s climate change.
What’s actually happening in Antarctica. This will blow your mind!
Why cows are actually part of the solution to healing our planet. Including chats around the methane myth, regenerative farming & carbon capture, water retention and cleaning water ways.
Why plant based meat alternatives are something you want to keep on the shelf.
How lab grown meat is produced and the issues this presents.
The truth and conflict of interest behind 'The Inconvenient Truth' doco
Why carbon exchange and sales is not the solution
The impacts of geo-engineering
Wind and solar vs gas and oil, for the health of our planet
Cyndi's experience with an electric car. It'll shock you!

Ever had moments of parenting that leave you feeling overwhelmed?

What about frustrated, irritated, angry or just scratching your head with confusion?

Yep, I'm right there with you!

Parenting is full of moments that pull on my heart strings and fill me with so much love. Watching my little ones learn, grow and develop is so precious.

BUT I'd be lying if I said it was all smooth sailing. There are certainly challenging times, that test my patience levels and other times that leave me feeling helpless.

How can navigate that that better next time? I ask myself.

I know that you'll be nodding along with me, perhaps throwing your hands in the air with agreement. So who better to sit down for an inspiring chat than the Holistic Family Psychologist herself, Ashleigh Warner- also know for her supportive parenting guidance @raisinghumanskind on instagram.

Today you'll learn how to navigate your childs "meltdowns", "misbehaving" and guiding you through respectful communication and parenting.

When it comes to taking health into my own hands, preventative health is what I strive for.

Nourishing my body & mind with foods, & natures medicine, but also feed my soul with activities I love (even if my girls are right there with me).

Sure there’s times when we go down with acute symptoms, but I feel confident knowing we have a natural medicine wellness toolkit on hand to support us through it. Of course, if needed, medications & emergency health care are there for us.

I think it takes a level of curiosity to question the ‘norm’; patience & dedicated time to do the research to find the best options for your family and a level of confidence to live life aligned with your family values, no matter the opinion of others. Plus a whole lot of intuition to tap into and follow as you navigate your daily health choices.

What if I told you, I know someone who is in her 60s and is fully embracing this. So much so she has never been given or taken ANY medications throughout her life. She helps guide me back to using foods as medicine first, is a true inspiration with the businesses she had created & how she had set her family farm up to provide for themselves and others. Plus I love the way she lives intuitively.

Introducing a pioneer in the health space, Cyndi O’Meara. Cyndi is a Nutritionist, best-selling author, international speaker and founder of Changing Habits and The Nutrition Academy.

Today, I get to chat with Cyndi all about food, farming and intuitive living for episode 92 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast.

What We Cover: * The beginnings of creating Changing Habits. * How she has gone about sourcing these high quality foods, including interesting stories of their travelling adventures. * A typical day on Cyndi's plate and diets that she does follow. * The incredible fun fact about Cyndi that will blow your mind!

Daily routines, habits and practises that bring more joy into her day.
The dream and process of becoming a farmer and what the Changing Habits farm includes and involves.
What farming practises they use and why this matters.
What minerals different coloured "weeds" provide- this is fascinating!
Her biggest lessons as a parent and what she is conscious about teaching her grandchildren.

I was ironically pressing send on this post, explaining about how we'd lead a healthy lifestyle while on our most recent trip to far North Queensland. That's when it started to creep over me. The headache started pulsing behind my left eye, my body began to ache and my bed was calling me louder and louder. Despite the warmth under the blankets, my teeth were also chattering loudly. I was down and out.

It took me a couple of days of being bed bound before I mustered up the strength to clear my mind and work out a plan of attack with my herbs, nutrients, probiotics and oils on hand. Whether it's you or your little loves suffering with a sickness, when you're in the midst of it all, its no easy task trying to strategise a medicine routine.

So that's why I wanted to open up a conversation about important topics when it comes to children's health- croup, ear infections and avoiding antibiotics. So you can be equipped with your actions steps ready to go for when the next acute family health challenge comes knocking.

I thought it would be a helpful time to invite back, Childrens Health Naturopath Ashlee Yates to have the discussion with me.

Ashlee Yates is a degree qualified Children's Health Naturopath supporting children and families through upset tummies, coughs and colds, itchy skin, sleeping issues and everything in between.

As a result of her own experiences as a mum, her clinical focus has developed with a strong interest in the health of children and their families. She now works primarily with families navigating digestive concerns, sleeping issues, recurring illnesses, colic and reflux, eczema, and learning or behavioural concerns.

Ashlee believes that as a parent, you're doing the best that you can with the knowledge and resources that you have available to you at the time. With nutritional and herbal medicine, she is able to complement mainstream medicine.

Her goal is to share her knowledge as a Naturopath with evidence based herbal and nutritional medicine so it can be used safely and effectively in family healthcare.

So you know that folate is important for your pregnancy and baby health, but when it comes to looking at foods and supplements for your preconception and pregnancy, it might cause you some confusion.

There is more to it than grabbing a folic acid containing prenatal off the chemist shelf to cover your needs.

As new research emergences, the way we prescribe folate is also evolving. If you’re wondering what the difference is between the folate in your foods, the folic acid in supplements and the new buzz word, methyl folate, stick around, I’m going to break this down for you and explain the importance of getting the right folate for your fertility.

So you can avoid a deficiency, dangerous build up and the complications associated with this for you and baby.

Are you pooing properly?

I know, personal question. But as a Naturopath, toilet talk is a regular topic of discussion.

Issues with pooing can range from irregular frequency, straining on the loo, to incomplete bowel movements with the feeling that there's something inside shortly after your toilet stop.

This can lad to a cycle of abdominal bloating, discomfort, foul smelling gas and contributes to toxin build up and hormone imbalance, such as oestrogen dominance.

Time to get out the Bristol stool chart and tune into my chat today with Naturopath & Colon Hydrotherapist Kirsty King. We're going back to stool school ;)

Kirsty is a gut health obsessed naturopath and colon hydrotherapist on a mission to make the world a healthier and happier place. Kirsty recently opened Gut Recovery Centre where she works alongside other practitioners to help clients get to the bottom of their gut issues so they can take back control of their health and have positive poo experiences.

Are you curious about education options for your children? Or perhaps you're looking for gut health inspiration for you and your loved ones? This is an episode just for you.

As my daughters 5 year old birthday approaches, I can feel the pressure of our schooling decisions for her getting building up. We've always had a Steiner school as our preference for our daughter, however our move to the country wasn't quite close enough to pursue this choice. I'm now leaning towards homeschooling, but understand this is a massive commitment but also comes with a whole lot of beautiful bonuses. Amelia is excited by the thought of our days on the farm, learning through play and life skills and yes, amongst interaction with out-of-the-home activities and sports... but we're still working on hubby.

I just love hearing other Mumma's experiences and today I explore homeschooling from a Mumma of four and gut healing cookbook queen herself, Jo Whitton.

Jo Whitton lives in Far North Queensland where she runs her business, Quirky Cooking, from home and enjoys the country life. Due to food intolerances in her family (herself and her four children), Jo began researching ways to improve their health through diet from the time her kids were very young. In 2008 she began a blog, Quirky Cooking, to share what she was learning and the recipes she was developing for her family. In 2014, Jo’s son Isaac was diagnosed with severe OCD and anxiety, which resulted in a deep dive into gut health and food as medicine. Not only did Isaac’s mental health stabilise, but her whole family saw massive improvements in their health. Jo has since helped thousands of families to heal with food, sharing the principles she used to heal her own family.

Jo runs health seminars, cooking workshops, retreats and other events both in Australia and overseas, sharing how to transition to a healing, whole food diet in a doable and sustainable way. She also shares podcasts and videos and facilitates gut health programs to support people working through healing with food, regularly develops new recipes for her audience, and shares daily cooking videos from her kitchen on social media. Jo is the author of three best-selling cookbooks: “Quirky Cooking”, “Life-Changing Food” and “Simple Healing Food”.

In this episode we explore:

An introduction into Jo's family, their personal health challenges that lead them to embark their healing journey.
The GAPS diet and their incredible gut healing experience.
How and when they were able to reintroduce dairy into their diet, without reactions.
What a typical day of meals looked like on the intro and full GAPS phases and some tips for navigating this with a family.
What meals look like now they are not following the full GAPS diet and what foods are still potential triggers for them.
When and why Jo began educating her children from home.
What their days looked like while home schooling
The homeschooling approach Jo took.
How she found the balance between work life and mum life as a home schooling Mum.
Most rewarding moments educating your children from home.
How her children have transitioned into work after home schooling.

As Dr Natasha Cambell Mcbride states "In healthy gut flora, a digestive disorder cannot develop."

So have I got your attention?

If you're going around in circles with your health, feel like you've tried all the things for either small niggly symptoms or major signs of disturbed health and just stuck with where to from here, coming back to your gut health is likely where you need to turn.

Yes, your gut microbiome and gut integrity is at the core of your overall health and wellbeing.

When it comes to supporting all aspects of gut healing, the GAPS diet is one that deserves more air time. It does overwhelm most at the initial thought of it (me included), but if you're committed to allowing the healing to occur and supporting all areas of your health, particularly the way you function and feel mentally, this is a game changer.

Cue one of Australia's top 'GAPS Diet' practitioners, Elyse Comerford.

Elyse Comerford, founder of Well Belly Health Clinic, is an Integrative Nutritionist and Certified GAPS (Gut & Psychology/Physiology Syndrome) Practitioner, Keynote Speaker, Mentor, and most importantly, Mum to Dylan.

Elyse’s primary focus for the past decade has been in private practice, helping thousands of families overcome a whole host of health issues through the implementation of nourishing and healing principles, reducing toxic stress, and the GAPS protocol.

Elyse has developed online programs, seminars and retreats that have changed the lives of thousands. Elyse’s stress-less approach to health has been game changing for many, taking health from overwhelming to sustainable for every day busy families.

Elyse has worked closely with Quirky Cooking’s Jo Whitton for the past 7 years, creating programs, retreats, and collaborating on Jo’s latest cookbook, ‘Simple Healing Foods’. You can also hear Elyse speak on a number of podcasts including ‘A Quirky Journey’, ‘Low-Tox Life’ and ‘Primal Alternative Podcast’.

Elyse’s approach is based on taking the normal "guilt, blame, shame and deprivation” and completely turning it on its head, focussing instead on healing, nourishing, and listening to the body.

What We Cover: * An insight into Elyse's personal health journey and what lead her to do the work she does to support people through the GAPS diet. * What the GAPS diet is, how it began and how it is different to other gut healing diets (such as low FODMAP for SIBO). * The stages of a GAPS diet- difference between intro and full GAPS and when you know when you are ready to change from one stage to the next. * When you should consider following a GAPS diet. * When not to follow the GAPS diet and Elyse's thoughts around GAPS during pregnancy, breastfeeding, babies and young children. * The contributing factors for dark circles under eyes in children and her approach to supporting their health. * Why parasite cleansing is not supportive for your gut health. * How to overcome bowel movement changes during the GAPS diet- bth loose bowels and constipation. * What is going wrong with conventional baby food introductions and how to set babies up from the beginning for healthy gut health through foods. * Personally why and what healing Elyse notices when she follows GAPS intro. * Tips for kids birthday parties- how to navigate for a healthy gut in children.

I don't drink milk, but I'm thinking of getting a milking cow four our little farm. Crazy right?

But when I say I don't drink milk, that's the pasteurised version of cows milk. The raw enzyme rich fresh from our own cow will be something else. Oh and I'll be lining up for the cream too- delicious homemade butter on tap!

I also think it will be so wholesome for my girls to grow up taking care of, helping to milk and of course, benefiting nutritionally from having our own family milking cow. Something I too had snippets of growing up.

So when I shared our vison for our little farm on instagram, one of my patents said I just had to follow Mary-anne from Korinya Farm Gate. I jumped across to her page, took a quick scroll and instantly fell in love with what they've created from their homestead and the inspiring life they lead for their children.

Wether having a large scale farm or productive backyard is a dream for you, you'll love this down to earth chat between a Naturopath & passionate farmer and homesteading Mum.

Mary-anne Mickan, along with her husband Scott and four children are a family of full time farmers & homesteaders of Korinya Farm Gate.

Mary-anne is passionate about her family - their health and wholeness is always her priority. She adores milking their small dairy herd, growing food & cooking with nutrient dense ingredients. The use of essential oils, herbs, minerals and homeopathic remedies support her family and livestock on a daily basis.

Korinya farm gate is a family owned and operated business with a focus on family, sustainability, education and passion for the animals. Their passion lies in the holistic way - from paddock, to plate, for you.

In between milking, homeschooling and homesteading duties, I recorded a chat with Mary-anne to learn about this wholesome way of living and farming in a regenerative way.

Here is episode 84 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast.

If you're like most patients who come to me with their 'hormone health' blood work up they had with their GP, you have been told that your thyroid health was normal and often unfortunately dismissed. Something is often missing however- a test for thyroid antibody levels to check for autoimmunity activity.

If you have had your levels checked and they are 'in range', heightened above the 'normal', or your health care provider hasn't checked this off yet, you'll want to pull up a seat and listen in. There's likely more to the picture that you're missing.

Thyroid antibodies are often present prior to you experiencing symptoms, and are a result of an underlying inflammatory response in your body. This can lead to various symptoms of mood, energy and sleep disturbances, fertility challenges and pregnancy loss.

To open up this very topic, I have invited Naturopath, acupuncturist, Conception Queen and all round women's health expert, Miranda Myles for a podcast chat.

What We Cover: * The role of the thyroid in fertility and overall wellness. * The different types of thyroid imbalances that can cause issues. * The acceptable level of thyroid antibody activity and optimal reference ranges. * Whats happening in the body with raised thyroid antibodies. * The potential causes of autoimmunity of the thyroid.

Research backed effective therapies that can help reverse antibodies.

When it comes to baby making, the events of conception that occur within the body never cease to amaze me. There are many hormones at play to do their intricate dance, follicles to ripen and mature, sperm to show up fighting fit and ready to meet the healthy egg, follicular tubes to be clear, the presence of nurturing cervical mucus and a plump nutrient rich endometrium, ready for the implanted fertilised egg to flourish. It truely is magical.

Because of the intricacies involved, natural conception often doesn't happen as soon as first hoped. Fear can often get in the way and terms like "unexplained infertility" are quickly thrown around by healthcare providers.

While I understand there are times when it is needed to bring a baby into your world, what I encourage as a Naturopath is to ensure my patients gain holistic health care, so the multiple areas of fertility are addressed holistically before rushing into assisted reproductive procedures, such as IVF.

To help unpack this for you today, I have a detailed chat to share with you with Dr Cathy Peterson.

Dr Catherine Peterson is a GP with a special interest in restorative reproductive medicine (RRM). She uses RRM to manage many conditions including infertility (both male and female factors), pregnancies at risk of miscarriage, irregular periods, PCOS, abnormal menstrual bleeding, and PMS.

Restorative reproductive medicine looks for underlying causes and treats those causes to achieve reproductive health and hormonal balance. She uses her knowledge from her NaProTECHNOLOGY TM training, and multiple FEMM TM Medical Management training courses.

She can assist women wanting fertility education to avoid pregnancy and also offers obstetric shared care.

WHAT WE COVER * What is NaPro Techonology and restorative reproductive medicine and why should this be an avenue that you consider before other assisted fertility options such as IVF. * Common contributors for fertility challenges that are often overlooked and how are they impacting a healthy conception. * Symptoms of imbalanced prolactin hormone levels and why this is often missed on a regular blood test. * Medications assisting fertility and inflammatory based conditions such as endometriosis. * The types of cervical mucous a woman should be looking out for over her cycle and role of cervical mucous for a healthy conception. * How to detect ovulation through being in tune with your cervical mucous. * The optimal time and frequency of intercourse for a couple to be to increase chances of conception. * Causes of low cervical mucous. * The ovulation defect that contributes to endometriosis. * Type of testing recommended for men preconception, and tips around gaining an accurate semen analysis. * Ways you can support a pregnancy and prevent miscarriage through gaining insight into this one hormone level test and supplementing if required.

If you're anything like me, you focus on nourishing yourself with whole foods, drink filtered water, take supplements to optimise your nutrition and the way you look and feel on a daily basis. You make an effort to move, follow mindfulness practises and you're working towards making your home a safe zone from EMF's. If you're not there yet, that's ok. One step at a time (my support here might help you along the way).

But I have a question for you. Have you ever considered how light impacts your health? Not just for absorbing vitamin D or preventing yourself from burning in the summer sun.

Light exposure can either help or hinder your health depending on the source and the time of day. Yes, this can impact your sleep, moods, energy levels and so much more. It's time to open this can of worms so you can understand why the natural and synthetic lighting you're exposed to matters and how you can make healthy decisions for your hormones, fertility, pregnancy and baby health.

Let me introduce you to an expert in this field, Daniel Ebbett for episode 81.

Ever wondered why you feel, behave, look or perform differently throughout your cycle? Yep, the individual fluctuations of your humble hormones have a massive influence.

Instead of dreading, pushing through or masking these changes that occur for you, what would happen if you embraced them?

Cyclical living does just that. Allowing you to support your body and mind throughout the natural ebbs and flows of your menstrual cycle, cyclical living can even be tapped into in times of your life when you have an absent or irregular period. It’s all about honouring, nurturing and nourishing your body, so you can ultimately feel your best, for you & for your loved ones.

To delve into this topic, I introduce you to Mum, yogi & Integrative health practitioner, Oliva de Fluitter.

In This Episode We Cover:

Cyclical living and how it can benefit you.
If cyclical living is suitable for you.
How to move your body to support your health throughout the different phases of your cycle or seasons of your life, including pregnancy, breastfeeding & amenorrhea.

Did you know it is normal to lose 100 head hairs per day? Crazy to think.

But if you are noticing greater amounts of hair falling out when shampooing, or thinning of your once luscious locks when looking in the mirror, I can understand you'd be concerned about why this is happening.

Firstly, you’re not alone. Among the top symptom complaints women present to me with, hair loss is high on the list. No one wants to lose head hair. In this episode I will unravel the possible causes of your hair loss and where you can start through your diet, supplements, testing and lifestyle practises, to re-gain healthy hair growth once again.

Have you been told you have low iron? Or is this something you’ve been struggling with for months or years now?

Even if it’s not you personally, my guess is you know a sister, friend, mother or daughter who has at some point been ‘iron deficient’.

But there is more to the story. Like many areas when it comes to reading blood tests, it's worth digging a bit deeper to really understand your results.

You may not actually be deficient in the first place. Even if you have a true iron deficiency, chances are your treatment is not actually helping you.

I know, I can hear your thoughts. “But what do you mean Kasey?!” So to share more on this topic, I have invited the iron queen herself, Steph Lowe onto the podcast for a chat.

What's Included In This Episode: In today’s chat we cover:

The important factors to consider with diet and testing, in your preconception phase.
The importance of optimal iron in your body for women and in pregnancy, how this supports your growing baby.
How to check your iron levels through testing.
If you’re being told your levels are low, why you should take a second look at your blood test results .
The real markers and levels to look for to check for an iron deficiency.
The underlying causes to real iron deficiency in women.
What an iron infusion is, the dose of iron included and the health implications of this therapy.
Stephs steps to holistically prevent and overcome iron deficiency.
The important cofactors to support your body’s use of iron in your body.
Plus examples of foods and meals for healthy iron levels.

Do you feel the effects of overwhelm, stress or anxiety? Yep, we all do at times, but if this is starting to impact the way you feel on a daily basis, or contribute to debilitating attacks, asking for help is an important first step.

Currently, almost 1 in 7 women in Australia report experiencing an anxiety-related condition. With increased daily pressures, demands and expectations, I'm not surprised. Working predominantly with women over the years as a Naturopath, I've seen how this anxiety builds up and impacts lives.

To help bring awareness to this condition, unravel the causes and talk through some practical ways to support your body and mind through this, I have invited clinical Nuritionist (BHSc)Malissa Fedele onto the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast.

What We Cover: > Malissa's personal experience with anxiety

> Exploring anxiety and how this could look and feel like for you.

Triggers, imbalances and nutritional deficiencies that may contribute to anxiety.

What foods and nutrients may help to support your mental health.

If I asked you what you thought about your period, what would you say?

Do you feel self conscious because of pre period puffiness? Are your breasts sore and tender too?

Do you dread the pain that you suffer with as your period arrives? Or is inconvenient a better description due to your heavy flow?

If you're suffering from stubborn cycle symptoms, it's likely your hormonal system needs a service. These symptoms described are just some that are contributed by a hormone imbalance, called oestrogen dominance.

As a Naturopath, I've seen all sorts of hormone imbalances, ranging from high to low sex, thyroid and adrenal hormones, impacting cycles, skin, weight, moods and more. But I'd have to say the most common imbalance I've come across in clinical practice, is heightened oestrogen levels.

There are multiple reasons your body can have high levels of oestrogen- from overproduction, poor detoxification due to sluggish liver and gut health, as well as the endocrine disrupting substances which mimic oestrogen actions in your body. It's no wonder as you're likley bombarded with these synthetic oestrogens on a daily basis through your food and environment. Yikes!

The heightened oestrogen levels lead to frustrating symptoms and can fuel debilitating conditions like endometriosis.

So if you're intrigued to learn more about these symptoms, causes and most importantly, what you can do about it... tune into my chat with Dr Andrea Huddleston in episode 71 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast.

We cover:

What oestrogen dominance is and the symptoms and conditions that are associated with this hormone imbalance.

At what point should you consider investigation for endometriosis

What endometriosis is, what symptoms are involved, and how this may impact your health and fertility.

What contributing factors are for endometriosis.

Why endometriosis is so prevalent.

Diagnostic tests and conventional treatment options for endometriosis.

The difference between excision and ablation surgery for endometriosis.

Importance of supporting the body holistically when it comes to preventing and treating endo.

If you’re thinking about conceiving, currently pregnant, in your fourth trimester or even months or years post birth, abdominal muscle separation is something that may impact you. I wanted to open up this conversation as I feel like this and other women’s health challenges post birth are not openly discussed and women are unfortunately confused and often suffering in silence.

To help inform you, today I welcome Kath Baquie to the podcast.

Kath is a mum of 3 young girls, a physiotherapist for women, and she has an online community, FitNest Mama which helps to provide pregnant and new mothers with the exercises, support & resources they need to move from the overwhelm, the physical aches & pains of pregnancy, the weakness felt after birth, and instead she helps to replace that with the comfort & confidence they need to get their bodies and minds strong again, so that they can get back to doing what they love with a bubba by their side (whether or not that’s running around with the kids at the park, or running the next marathon).

In this episode, you will learn:

What Diastasis Recti (also known as DRAM or abomdinal muscle separation is.

How you can detect it yourself if unable to see a women's health physiotherapist.

Ways to best support your core and pelvic floor muscles physically throughout pregnancy... even if you have a toddler at your feet.

Safe movement for a new Mum to safely do within her first 6 weeks post birth.

I was a new Mum, not getting a lot of sleep but very hesitant to try the 'cry-it-out' methods that were presented to me. My motherly instincts told me there was a kinder way for my baby who seemed to be comforted by my touch and yes, mums milk. A friend had texted me through a link to a baby sleep event- I think she felt somewhat sorry for my lack of sleep. I'd heard of the name, but not yet had the energy to pick up any of her work so it seemed like the right time.

I went along solo (well with bubs by my side), feeling somewhat wired after yet another rough 2-hourly-wakes throughout the night and a bit anxious about how I would keep my baby girl settled for the long car trip and event.

As I arrived at pram city, I took a seat up the front ready to get the answers when it came to my wakeful bubba. I absorbed every word the speaker had to say and so appreciated her 'keeping it real', but loved that she supported a gentle and holistic approach that resonated with how I felt motherhood should be- comforting to the baby.

Yes, I had been introduced to teachings of Pinky McKay and I couldn't wait to dig into the books that I had taken away with me that afternoon.

In episode 67 I had the privelge of chatting with Pinky and we cover the following:

Sleep

The benefits of carrying or rocking your baby to sleep.
Tips for transitioning a baby gently, to fall asleep without the need to feed to sleep.
How to wean with love.
What healthy foods could be triggering wakefulness in bubbas & toddlers.

Toilet Training

Toilet training tips for toddlers.
Guidance around teaching your little one about the function of their genitalia once they discover their private parts.

Behaviour

Helping little ones with the transition of becoming a sibling & ways to make them feel just as loved as ever.
How to reset a routine when your little one gets sick, has an injury or some change happens that manages to sway a routine.
How to reason and communicate with a defiant 3 or 4 year old to do things such as getting dressed.
How to navigate swearing and outburst in little ones.
Tips around overcoming boredom hunger requests.

Just like that, as I record this episode, four weeks has past since our empowering home birth of our Elke angel. If you missed the birth story, you can head back to the previous episode to listen in here. Yes, these weeks have included nightly broken sleep, feeding around the clock, loads of washing, plenty of nappies and I barely get a moment to go to the toilet alone.

But the oxytocin is flowing from all the snuggles, skin to skin and suckling and I am just soaking it up as I know how quickly time flies and I can see how much Elke girl has grown in this time already.

Once again, I have put it out to my @GlowingMumma.ThrivingBubba insta community to see what questions you had on our fourth trimester experience so far.

So here it is- an insight into our post birth journey.

As Elke lay milk drink in my arms, I chatted about:

A little on our Elke girl- how she's been with feeding and sleeping and what her personality is showing so far.

How we are slowly introducing Elke to the world.

My post birth journey- how I'm nourishing and nurturing my body for healing with foods, supplements and practises.

Some of my fav Mum and baby items that have helped me post birth.

Our first outing and what we did as a family.

My thoughts on our mode of care support post birth.

As I look through our birth photos, I feel an abundance of emotions bubble through me.

I feel proud for bringing our second baby into our world in an empowered homebirth, with no intervention or pain relief. I feel a level of relief that everything played out as we wished & manifested- particularly with having our 3.5 year old present.

I feel grateful of the wonderful support around me during & post birth. In awe of the way our baby entered our world and on the powerful date of 22 01 22 and of course a heart bursting with love for our little angel & how I am now a Mumma of two beautiful girls.

Yes, we had a baby GIRL, who we named Elke Anne (Anne being me & my Mums middle name).

After receiving many questions across on my @glowingMumma.thrivingbubba insta, here is the birth story of Elke Anne...

As the weeks of our third trimester fly by and we approach our guess date, we are getting so very excited to meet our sweet little second.

I know from tuning into other Mumma’s, friends, family and podcast guests that every experience as a Mumma of two is unique. I am preparing for challenging moments, days and weeks, know that my priorities will shift and another layer of perfectionism will be released, as I navigate a newborn while being a full time Mumma to my active and affectionate three year old.

It won’t be easy, morterhood isn’t. But it sure is rewarding and full of so many moments that lead to a heart exploding with love.

Today I wanted to share an update on the second half of our pregnancy journey and answer some questions I’ve had from my @glowingmumma.thrivingbubba insta community.

Here is episode 64- the final of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba season 3.

What comes to mind when you think of childbirth?

Often the precious placenta is left out of the picture and it's incredible benefits to Mum & Bub are forgotten.

As a pregnancy health Naturopath, one topic that I encourage expecting Mums to consider, is how to honour their placenta post birth.

While placenta encapsulation resonated for me and I feel really helped with my post birth recovery, I know Mum's who have had lotus births and others who have planted their placenta somewhere sacred.

With several options available, I wanted to get an expert in the field onto the podcast to chat all this placenta magic and just why this organ is so special to both Mum and baby.

Todays guest is Erin Black. On top of being a self proclaimed placenta nerd & women's health advocate, Erin is also a Mother to 3 wildlings residing on the coast in Adelaide, SA. She is a doula, childbirth educator, yoga nidra facilitator & space holder.

Erin has joined me for episode 63 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast.

What We Chat About: * How your placenta functions to nourish baby throughout pregnancy. * The process of birthing your placenta and what you need to know if you are opting for a natural birth. * The different ways of honouring your placenta post birth. * What is the history of placenta consumption and what the process involves. * The benefits for a new mum to consume their placenta. * Important advice for a new mum to navigate her fourth trimester. * Plus more!

When you enter a challenging moment or phase of your life, what helps you process this?

For some it's a verbal release, by chatting it over with friends, family or professionals, but for me, expressing how I feel in words is most healing.

While I wouldn't call my cathartic words an art form, other talented souls are naturally blessed with expressing their thoughts, feelings and experiences through touching words and poetry. One of those women is Renée Melizza.

Creator of dear_daring_xo on Instagram, Renée is a first-time mum who lives in South Australia with her husband and toddler.

Renée truly believes; The best things in life are free. Laughter and dance are medicine. Gratitude makes your heart full. Everything comes to light when you write. To be unapologetically you, in this one life and that motherhood has been the incredible new chapter she didn’t know she needed so much.

Sentimental, goofy and down to earth, Renée has always loved writing, but discovered her love for writing poetry during those middle-of-the-night feeds, which is how ‘dear darling, a book about gratitude’, was born.

Renée writes honest and empowering poetry and musings on motherhood, in the hope that other mothers feel supported and less alone in the crazy, beautiful chaos. Nostalgic at heart, Renée also writes words to her little darling. She feels there is so much power in words and keepsakes.

Renee joins me for an honest motherhood chat in episode 62 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast.

In this episode we explore... >> Renée's personal transition into motherhood and the challenges she experienced throughout pregnancy and mum life so far.

Chatting work / mum life and tips that have helped her work towards this 'balance'.

Lessons from motherhood.

Word of motherhood through poetry - Renée shares two of her touching poems with us.

What Renée's new book 'Dear Darling, A book About Gratitude' is all about & how you can pick up a copy.

While I was pregnant and approached birth, my only fear that I had was that my breastfeeding journey wouldn't go to 'plan'. I felt well educated and informed in all other areas, but felt like there were so many factors out of my control that could impact me nursing my daughter.

I'd heard many experiences of Mum's having challenges that impacted either their supply or baby's attachment and felt sad that more support wasn't available sooner to these women.

I'm now so passionate about empowering expecting Mumma's both through the podcast, one-on-one work and online support, to be prepared before thrown into the sleep deprived new Mumma life.

To help share her knowledge and holistic breastfeeding support, I have invited Kerrie Adams on for a podcast chat.

Kerrie is an IBCLC, Registered Midwife and Nurse living and working in private practice in the Gold Coast, Australia as a holistic lactation consultant. She is also a mama of two young boys raising them wild and unschooling them for now. Kerrie also has a yoga background and believes in holistic and natural health. She is a women's lifestyle and birth advocate and believes women have the innate power to do anything they desire if they just know how to ignite the fire within. Kerrie is also an entrepreneur working in the online space helping other mama's to become financially free females which she feels is the key to the healthful future of our beautiful planet. This is episode 61 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast.

What we explore... >> Considerations to make if you are having difficulty with your breastfeeding journey, due to pain when baby is attaching and/or nipple bleeding?

The controversial topic of tongue ties - the types, consequences if left untreated, detection and holistic treatment options.

Suggestions for you if you are told your baby is losing weight and not getting enough milk in the first days post birth.

How to detect if a baby isn’t getting adequate breastmilk and guidance for mums in this situation.

Recommendations to help your energy and allow you to thrive through your breastfeeding journey.

How you can avoid being left feeling unheard throughout your new Mum and breastfeeding journey.

Plus more words of wisdom & comfort throughout!

Do you ever feel triggered and catch yourself in reactive mode? Yep, I've been there too, more than once.

One of my biggest parenting challenges currently is being well into my third trimester and struggling to build up the energy to 'deal with' end of the day tantrums, like navigating teeth and bed. My daughter is one to drag out the process by demanding more food from the fridge... and it takes mustering up a swagger of patience and persistence to get through it at the end of the day.

So if you're dealing with anything like me, you'll want to tune into my informative but comforting chat with psychologist Tammy Viterbo.

Tammy is a Mum of 2 with a BA in Psychology and a Masters in social work. Through her company, Happy Fambam, she aims to help parents understand the social, cognitive and emotional development of their children and enhance the parent-child relationship.

Tammy’s parenting philosophy centers around respectful, mindful and conscious parenting practices.

Listen into my chat with Tammy in episode 60 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast.

What we cover: >> Helpful guidance to help parents deal with tantrums, respectfully.

How to navigate ‘naughty’ behaviour.

Tips you have around creating loving boundaries with little ones.

The role our language and behaviour plays when communicating with and spending time with our children and how can we use this to build healthy self confidence in our children for years to come.

What is the compassion corner.

Importance and consequences of our behaviours and actions on the health and happiness of our children.

When I was getting ready for my first trip interstate without my nine month old daughter, I had been preparing with expressing my milk for weeks, but I also needed to purchase a back up formula just in case hubby ran out of my Mums' milk in the time I was gone.

I remember walking down the formula isle, picking up each of the brands and just feeling icky with the choices on the market. While one of them was organic, it also contained maltodextrin and soy. Another was free from that, but contained canola oil. None of them were up to my standards, and I ended up feeling so sad that there weren't more options on the market... that I had access to at the time anyway.

I am so grateful that I was able to breastfeed my daughter without needing formula, for over two years. While breastmilk is always going to be my first choice to feed my babies and something I support other Mumma's to feed their little ones by overcoming common challenges that can impact their breastfeeding journey, I realise your wishes of breastfeeding may not always go to plan.

Picking out the best formula to nourish your bubba can be an art form. That's what I thought until I met Elke and discovered her range of goats milk formula.

Elke Pascoe is the CEO and Founder of The LittleOak Company. She is passionate about children’s health and giving every child the opportunity to grow and thrive. She started LittleOak to provide mums and dads with significantly better nutrition for their babies and children than traditionally has been available.

Elke is driven every day to ensure that every child is nourished with good, wholesome nutrition to grow big and strong and, more importantly, realise her own childhood dream to ensure no child goes to bed hungry.

Listen into my chat with Elke in episode 59 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast.

What we cover: >> We take a dive into the formula world and important factors to consider when picking out a formula for you baby.

Why goats milk and a background on the goats that supply the milk for LittleOak formula.

What the production process involves in making LittleOat formula and how this differs to others on the market.

Why they decided not to mimic the whey:caesin ratio of breastmilk in the LittleOak formula.

The why behind some of the additional ingredients within their products.

Ever since miss 3 had two big accidents in the one week, I’ve noticed myself second guessing my parenting style & reverting to old behaviours.

Like when she was having so much fun running around with her new little friend the other day and I called out “be careful” instead of letting the free (somewhat risky) play unfold.

But I noticed right away & reassured myself that next time I’d approach that differently. I guess that’s all part of parenting consciously.

To open up this fascinating conversation, I invited my friend Gwen onto the podcast.

Gwen, originally from Canada came to Australia to do her Masters in teaching in 2010. A teacher for eight years she started in Special Education and then spent five years teaching Preschool (kindie) in Darwin. During this time, she became a leader within her school as well as within Early Childhood Education and Care sector in the Northern Territory.

As a teacher she was passionate about children‘s social and emotional growth and development as well as empowering and mentoring other teachers and educators.

Motherhood cracked her open in ways she never believed possible. Since becoming a mum, she has been on a deep journey of self love, reparenting herself, spiritual awakening and learning that to be the best parent you need to be there for yourself first.

Gwen now has started her own business, Connecting Kids Consciously supporting children’s social, emotional and spiritual development as well as offers 1:1 mindset and confidence coaching programs for mums.

This is episode 58 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast.

What We Cover: >> Gwen's experience travelling to and raising children in Australia, away from family in Canada.

The importance and how to release perfectionism as a Mumma, including a tool that can help you bring awareness and support you through this.

What is parenting consciously and why is this important for your little ones.

Examples of dealing with anger or other emotions for that come up as a parent.

The importance of you tuning into your gut feelings as a Mumma.

Why speaking your truth as a parent is powerful.

The type of schooling Gwen (a teacher) is choosing for now, for her children.

Part of my calling for a home birth and working one on one with a midwife through both of my pregnancies had been from listening into birth stories from friends, family and patients over the years. I tuned in and noted how these women were feeling both immediately after birth, but also months into their motherhood journey. I decided I wanted something more- to really feel heard, supported, nurtured and comfortable within my birthing and fourth trimester environment. While birth trauma is something I was fortunate enough to navigate around, I know this is not the case for 1 in 3 women. Yes, that stat is way too high. Wether its your first birth, or more, to help you and your loved ones change the story around birth and your fourth trimester experience, I invited along a calm, caring and knowledgable soul onto the podcast. Her name is Kirstie Maddocks. Kirstie is a Midwife, Doula, Life Coach and mama of two. She runs Kirstie Maddocks Motherhood Mentor, where she supports women in a variety of ways as they enter into the sacred journey of motherhood. She holds space for new mothers in her Nurturing & Mindful Mothers Groups, supports mothers throughout pregnancy and in the fourth trimester through her postnatal doula support and provides coaching and guidance for women who have experienced birthing trauma. Kirstie is passionate about providing a holistic, nurturing and evidence based approach to empower and create space for mothers to unravel and explore their new journey into motherhood with a focus on matrescence. In episode 57 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast, Kirstie and I open up the conversation around birth trauma and how we can change the story for many women going forward. What We Cover: We explore: >> Kirstie's why to becoming a midwife & doula.

Where the system has let down women through pregnancy and birth.

Opening up the birth trauma conversation.

Suggestions for where women can go who feel as though they have been impacted by birth trauma.

Recently I've been having deep conversations with like minded friends and Mumma's on how we can become more self sufficient in the short term, but how we can really create community and sustainability long term. I think the state of the world right now has been a major catalyst for looking within and asking what kind of future we truly want for ourselves, our family and the people we share this with. To get this conversation started I wanted to introduce you to someone I met years ago. He's funny, he's entertaining but most importantly he knows where his values lie and he will do what it takes to make his dreams of regenerating the land while providing for and supporting the health of his family and community, a reality. Rory Bland is a father, foodie, content creator and follower of dopamine. Over the years he’s pursued his interests in many different fields, but has landed back where his heart is... in creating content - mainly around food and conscious living, in his own quirky and humorous way. He’s on a mission to acquire 1000 acres in QLD to turn into a syntropic food forest and regenerative farm, to rebuild the soil on our precious earth. I chat all things health, self sufficiency, sustainability and and healing the land, with Rory I episode 56 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast.

What We Explore... * Rory's health journey and how this has lead to inspiring others to also make health conscious choices, * How they welcomed their baby into the world and what his Dad role has been in his conscious parenting journey. * How the GAPS diet helped his health. * The shocking number of years of soil health (good enough to grow food in) we have left. * What impacts soil health, why soil regeneration is so important and what we can do to play our part to help. * How can we be prepared with our own food supply and simple steps to becoming more self sufficient and create long term sustainability. * Rory's big picture dream to create community, take care of the land and provide for his family at the same time.

something we must consider when aiming for balanced hormones and prepping our body preconception is gut health. Truly, it cant be ignored.

If you’re experiencing symptoms, perhaps bloating, gas, pains, food or histamine intolerance or any condition relating to inflammation in your body, this episode is for you. I invited a fellow Naturopath onto the podcast, for a fascinating digestive health chat.

Kirsten Greene has been a practicing Naturopath, Nutritionist and Western Medical Herbalist since 2008, and specialises in working with clients who have SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) and associated digestive issues.

Her primary focus is helping women heal their digestive issues so they can enjoy a loving relationship with their body and food. And for some, so that they may feel “normal”, sometimes for the first time in their lives.

Having been through SIBO and suffering digestion issues herself for years, Kirsten is super passionate in this area and can relate to what her clients are going through.

SIBO free to this day, Kirsten has gone from living with an extreme fear of food due to bloating, weight gain and discomfort, to having a healthy, functioning digestive system and sound relationship with all food.

This is what Kirsten wants for all others suffering with digestive issues too, food freedom.

What's Included: In this episode we explore…

What SIBO is & how the symptoms compare with other digestive issues such as Candida overgrowth.

Causes and contributing factors of SIBO.

Whatcomplications can occur if SIBO is left untreated.

How SIBO is connected to endometriosis.

Are you a baby Mumma, or soon-to be?

Learning what is safe and not safe when it comes to natural medicine can be overwhelming at times. Herbal teas are often a safe substitutes for stronger herbal medicine forms that may be contraindicated while pregnant and breastfeeding.

Today to help gain some clarity and practical tips for your herbal medicine journey as a Mumma, I've turned to the owner of one of my favourite herbal tea brands.

Back in my early blogging days I had a segment Called 'Monday Motivators'. Do you remember? I forgive you if you don't ;) The point of my story is that this is where I first met a fellow Naturopath and Nutritionist Kate Dalton. She had just finished her studies and was in the early days of founding her organic tea company, Mayde Tea.

I first tried the Mayde Tea Roobois Chai back when her doors first opened and I've been addicted to the range ever since. The Mayde Tea Nursing blend also played a nourishing role in my fourth trimester breast-feeding journey.

Now being a Mumma herself, I wanted to catch up on the years between our last chat and find out more about how Kate balances life as a Naturopath, Mumma and business owner and gain some herbal medicine tips along the way.

This is episode 52 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast with Naturopath Kate Dalton.

When I say mould, what comes to mind?

I used to think mouldy food in my lunchbox was all that I should be concerned about when it came to mould upsetting my health. If only that were the case.

Fast forward to a few years into my Naturopathy work and I discovered just how detrimental mould growth in your environment (think home, car and work), can be dangerous for many areas of health. I came across speakers like Dr Sandeep Gupta at trainings and remember lecturing my friends in Darwin on what I'd learnt, but feeling grateful that I didn't live in a humid 'mouldy' environment down her in SA. Oh how naive I was again.

Yes, mould is actually an issue for everyone to be aware of, no matter where your location and you're about to find out why.

When my fellow health conscious friend and Healthy Home Consultant Sammy Moffatt began studying building biology, I naturally wanted to know everything she was learning! (You can catch up on our air quality chat here).

With her latest module being all about mould, we caught up again for another super informative podcast chat about how you can ensure a mould free environment in your home.

What We Covered: > If all mould is bad for us.

How mould impacts your health and why one family member may be feeling the effects of mould more than another.

Why mould is becoming more of a problem in new buildings.

How a mould technician can help you find the source of the mould issue.

How to treat mould (this will surprise you!)

What can we do around the house if there is a concern.

If air purifiers are worth the investment.

How you can prevent mould becoming an issue in your environment in the first place.

Are you starting to think about baby number two? Or perhaps you’re already in the midst of juggling two or more little ones.

When it comes to hormone health, a huge part of regaining balance is to give your daily environment a thorough inspection. From the water you drink, products you place on your skin, quality of your living quarters and technology you expose yourself to, these practises can play a positive role or cause issues with your cycles, skin, moods, weight, energy and sooo much more.

I know it can be confusing. I remember back to my early studying days and I was dubbed a hippy when it came to what I was eating and placing on my skin... but I was still binge drinking most weekends.

Slowly but surely I cleaned up the areas of my life and I continue to make positive changes as I take on new information today.

Just this week I reached out to my friend Sammy Moffatt (remember her from the air quality episode), who is studying building biology to ask her for some hacks to help clean the air in our new caravan my hubby been busy building us.

I had noticed that toxin smell (some people refer to this as the 'new car' smell). I'm well aware of new building materials off gassing, so wanted to get that cleaned up before we begin our caravanning adventures. Yes, I'm also always learning and always improving.

So I invite you today to tune into a super fascinating chat I had with the Low Tox Life Queen herself, Alexx Stuart.

Alexx Stuart is the four times best selling author of “Low Tox Life” and the founder of the thriving online education hub by the same name, made up of several e-courses, a podcast (one of the highest ranked in the health category in Australia), recipes, articles and community action resources for an ever growing community of people wanting to be healthier and make our planet happier.

She’s an educator, change agent, author, columnist, speaker and consultant at the forefront of a movement that’s non-judgmental and tough on the system that got us here.

What You'll Learn: In our chat, Alexx shares...

Her personal health challenges and how this lead her to begin her low tox journey.

How mould exposure has impacted her health and what they have done to overcome this major life hurdle.

An example of how someone could be exposed to toxins in their home, over just a few short hours.

Simple realistic recommend swaps to start with (in our control), to create a low tox life.

What the real factors of the foods we purchase and consume which impact our health and the environment.

The most important places to concentrate our energy on to improve our health and that of the planet too.

Her favourite detox savvy foods and an easy-to-digest detoxing smoothie recipe that'll breathe life into you, to try at home.

Did you know how you take care of your body in the weeks post birth can impact your health for years to come? The way you eat, rest, sleep, bathe, move and dress are included.

With our Western society celebrating women leaving the house and bouncing back just days post birth, this traditional practise of honouring the new Mum has been lost and women are suffering.

Post partum depletion is real. Women are struggling with health issues in their weeks, months and even years after bringing their babies into the world. To help understand why this is happening, we need to revisit what these traditional cultures around the world are doing for Mums post birth. How they are they nourishing and nurturing the new Mum? And what do we need to do to support the modern Mumma of today?

Dr of Traditional Chinese Medicine Carla Brion and Women's Health Massage Therapist Nadia Parisi are two Mumma's on a mission to help bring this conversation back into homes and allow women to honour and truely heal throughout this vulnerable stage of life.

Together they co-founded The Golden Month to re-shape the postpartum care in their community, for women, our daughters & their daughters to come. Today they will help share their wisdom with you in episode 48 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast.

In this episode we explored...

How the transition and experience from pregnancy, birth to motherhood can impact a woman's short and long term health.

The healing role traditional healing practises have on a new Mum post birth.

Why cold foods, drinks & practises (yep even padsicles) are not recommended post birth from a traditional Chinese and Ayuvedic Medicine perspective.

What Chinese medicine herbs and foods are particularly healing for a new mum post birth.

Top (positive) tips for a new Mum.

If someone asked you what super nutrition is, what would you say?

There are so many opinions when it comes to 'the best diet' for health, but something that cant be ignored are the traditional foods that made up our ancestors diet.

After reading 'Nutrition & Physical Degeneration' by Weston A Price after my studies, ancestral food choices have been something that I have instinctively been lead by when choosing nutrition to support my health. This has been particularly important to me in my preconception, pregnancy and breastfeeding stages of life and continues to be an inspiration for fuelling my family today.

While this has helped me overcome health challenges such as a chronic candida overgrowth, I'm not alone when it comes to health transformations.

I'd first heard of Soulla Chamberlain through friends and I found her health story fascinating when they shared it with me. I just had to have her on the podcast to share this with you all.

Soulla is the founder of wholefoods brand “Star Anise Organic Wholefoods” and its retail home “Broth Bar & Larder” in Sydney. She is a real and traditional foods cooking instructor, a health coach, wellness blogger, lover of the sun and surf, and a mama of 2 teens.

She has been instrumental in helping pioneer a traditional wholefoods movement in Sydney and beyond over the past decade. Soulla is on a serious mission to bring nutrient-dense traditional wholefoods back to the modern table and more broadly to inspire and empower others to lead a less toxic, and a more nourishing and conscious, life.

In this podcast episode, you'll learn:

Soulla's powerful health transformation and the diet's that she has explored in the past and how they impacted her and her children’s health over the years.
Traditional foods that are the most nutrient dense for the preconception, pregnancy & breastfeeding stages of life.
Tips to encourage children & teens to make healthy food choices.

What foods and movement will serve you best?

What practises will help to nurture your body during the different seasons of your menstrual cycle?

Being a type A personality, I have a history of pushing through with work tasks and also the way I exercised, no matter what time of my cycle I was in. Over the past 15 years, a huge focus of mine has been eating healthy foods, but what I didn't understand until I delved into Ayuvedic and traditional Chinese Medicine readings was that I was ignoring the types of (healthy) foods that would truely nourish my body according to my monthly cycle. I was intrigued!

My latest podcast chat with Dr Bree is one to tune into as she'll explain the different seasons of a woman's cycle and how you can honour your body physically, emotionally and spiritually during these times.

Dr Bree is a Mumma to her little boy Ziggy and Doctor Of Traditional Chinese Medicine and has a strong interest in women's health, treating different hormonal conditions, fertility, pregnancy, post partum care and menopause. Bree studied in Adelaide at the Endeavour College of Natural Health and completed a small internship at the Guangzhou Hospital in China.

In this episode we explore:

Bree's fav natural cycle tracking method for contraception & conception.

How to nurture and nourish your body through the different seasons of your menstrual cycle & how this differs to pregnancy and breastfeeding (with no cycle).

How to prepare a smoothie if you desire one in winter & during your menstrual cycle.

How acupuncture can support fertility, pregnancy and post partum health.

Drinking clean, filtered water is of utmost importance for you and your baby’s health, during pregnancy and breastfeeding..

According to Nutritionist and Water Hydration Specialist Kate Waterson...

"Apart from all the essential bodily functions that water plays a role in, it is also needed for the following vital functions during pregnancy:

Forms the amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby. Supports the increase in blood plasma volume. Produces breast milk and is essential for good lactation.

Ensures the vitamins and minerals you are consuming (through food and possibly supplements) are transported into your cells so your body (and baby) can effectively utilise them.

Helps to keep your body temperature regulated.

To ensure that your kidneys, bowels and liver are working efficiently, it is important to stay hydrated so that your body can eliminate the toxins from your body and stay regular with bowel motions. Remember that your baby will be excreting toxins also and ensuring that these toxins are being sufficiently eliminated from your system is very important so as not to add increased strain on your baby’s liver and kidneys.

Staying hydrated may help to reduce brain fog and morning sickness. The normal signs of dehydration can be more pronounced when pregnant.

Morning sickness and fatigue, dizziness, brain fog and constipation are the most common symptoms.

Dehydration in the later stages of pregnancy (third trimester) can also cause contractions that can trigger pre-term labour."

Ok so we know how important water is, but aside from how much you should be drinking to nourish your body, what other factors are important to consider when choosing your water supply. Particularly in your child bearing stages of life.

In this episode I explore factors to consider when choosing the water source for you and your family's health.

Are you starting to think about introducing your baby to solid foods as the months pass post birth?

Or perhaps you’ve already embarked on this journey, but confused if you are nourishing your baby with adequate nutrition, or perhaps impacting their gut health.

When it was our turn to start thinking about solid good introductions, I had my thoughts on the topic and previous recommendations I had given for parent patients in clinic.

But I still continued to research and was continually shocked by the conventional recommendations of solid food introduction.

How could synthetic fortified foods be superior over home prepared foods cooked from whole foods?

Why wasn’t gut health of babies being considered?

What foods naturally contained the highest level & absorption of critical nutrients baby’s require for those health & development?

Tune in to learn the factors to consider when introducing solid foods to your baby, to support their gut, immune and overall long term health.

I'm often asked why we had a home birth first time around. Wasn't I scared something would go wrong?

Truth is, I was much more fearful about having to give birth in a hospital. I immersed myself in research over the years as a Naturopath and took note of patients who described their births as a (challenging) but an empowering and beautiful experience. I was confident we were making an informed decision that was right for us.

When it comes to pregnancy and birthing decisions, that is what I encourage patients and Path To Glowing Mumma members to do. Gather all of the information, take in both sides of any argument and make a decision with what resonates for you and your partner.

To help you explore the decisions and possible challenges you may be faced with in the lead-up to birth, and learn facts and stats that your current health care provider may not be sharing with you, I have invited Adelaide based Chiropractor, Doula & Childbirth educator, Amanda Chow for a chat on the podcast.

In todays podcast episode Amanda explores:

Supporting your body physicallyduring pregnancy and leading into birth

> An important chat around'big babies'

>Birthing tools and exercises to help your experience

In 2019 a review into chiropractic care for children was launched in Victoria. The Victorian health minister was already making assumptions about the outcome when she made the announcement. These assumptions were very obviously not positively geared towards chiropractic. Part of the review was an online survey. Both the public and health practitioners from all around Australia were invited to participate.

An overwhelming 21,824 submissions were received from members of the public who had accessed chiropractic spinal care for a child under 12 years. This is the largest number of submissions received to date through Engage.Vic, which is the Victorian Government's Online Consultation platform.

The public responses indicated very strong consumer satisfaction. Of all respondents, 99.7% reported a positive experience with the chiropractic care of their children. The overwhelming majority of parents reported that chiropractic care helped their child, with 98% indicating that their child improved after treatment.

This shows a patient satisfaction that many health professions would be envious of.

So what exactly do chiropractors do with babies that results in such a group of satisfied parents?

Today I’m speaking with Dr Catherine Kenyon, chiropractor of twelve years who is extremely passionate about helping families achieve optimal health and wellbeing through her holistic style of chiropractic. Catherine has such a craving for learning, in her first year out of university she began a three year course in paediatric chiropractic to expand her knowledge of this unique age group. At the same time she also studied attended weekend seminars in Applied Kinesiology. Once finishing both those extended courses, Catherine began her journey into another chiropractic technique – NET. These three qualifications give her a unique and very holistic approach to her patients health.

Catherine has a particular interest in helping families of young babies learn all they can about optimising development from birth; through her discussions on developmental milestones, to her tummy time workshops and everything in between.

In our chat, Catherine explores:

> How birth can be a trauma for babies and the role an adjustment can play post birth for their health and development.

> The impacts and contributing factors of flat head syndrome and ways you can prevent this in your little one.

> The brain development of babies & thoughts on creating sleep routines at an early age.

> What the normal major motor development stages of a baby are and how to make decisions to assist them.

Using carriers safely for both Mum and baby.

> The best way to keep babies safe while travelling in the car.

Last week I introduced one powerful practise for detoxing, particularly in the weeks, months and years leading up to a conscious conception. You can catch up here.

This week, I wanted to share more for you if you're ready to step it up when it comes to detoxing your body, reducing inflammation & therefore balancing hormones preconception... & yes, it involves coffee!

If you’re considering coffee enemas for the first time you’re probably screwing up your face or thinking you’ll never do that. But truth is, that was my first reaction too. I first learnt about the benefits of enemas while studying Naturopathy and it took me a good 5 years to actually go ahead and try one.

This topic was also something my friends had a giggle over and I remember it was a talking point on my hens day as, I was telling them how I'd be doing one the next day for reducing my hens hangover.

In my chat with Kirsty, you will learn:

How a coffee enema helps you to detox and increase your powerful antioxidant function.
When to consider a coffee enema.
How to easily perform a coffee enema.
The difference between a coffee and chamomile tea enema.

Are you seeking safe detoxification practises that will support your hormones, gut and fertility health?

I remember the first few times I recommended detox practises (other than diet and natural medicine supplements) to my patients... going back over ten years ago now.

I would get side ways looks and I could see their thoughts of me being some kind of witch doctor were running through their heads. I also used to write blog posts back in the ‘notes’ section of Facebook, yep that’s showing my age. My friends named me 'Naturo Nerd' for some of the so called whacky practises I would write about.

But credit to most of my patients, they gave my recommendations a go and I got to witness improvements in hormone, gut, skin and reproductive health as they persisted alongside my supportive dietary guidelines and natural medicine supplementation.

After releasing the revamped version of my Preconception Guide last week, called Path To Conscious Conception, I wanted to share with you one powerful detox practise that can support your health in the lead up to bringing a baby into your world.

Introducing... castor oil packs.

Do you want to know what steps you can take to educate and protect the children in your life from sexual abuse? Of course you do.

When it comes to childhood sexual abuse, we can no longer put our heads in the sand. I know it's a heavy topic, but one that requires awareness and education around what steps can be taken to both prevent and take action to protect children from sexual harm.

After recently waking up to the extent of paedophilia right here in Australia and having another eye opening conversation in episode 28, I wanted to do more.

I recently ordered a copy of the childhood picture book 'Only For Me' and invited author, Michelle Derrig to continue this conversation and help keep our children safe.

In episode 33, Michelle explores:

The most vulnerable ages for sexual abuse and the disturbing stats around child sexual abuse here in Australia.
What signs and indications to look out for as a parent to pick up if a child has been sexually abused.
What steps should to take if you suspect childhood sexual abuse has occurred.
Important steps to take, to educate children and keep them safe from sexual harm.

How long has it been since you've had your teeth checked? You may be surprised to learn that your oral health can impact the rest of your body, contributing to inflammation and impacting your fertility outcomes.

As my teeth were being cleaned at my last dental check up, I was fascinated to hear my holistic dentist, Dr Vanessa Platt, chat about this topic. Once I rinsed, spat and could speak again, naturally I asked her to come onto the podcast to share this important info with you all.

The importance of oral health, particularly throughout preconception, pregnancy and breastfeeding stages of life.
What you should consider in your preconception stage of life when it comes to your teeth.
Foundational health practises to enhance oral health.
Simple hacks to protect your teeth from acidic foods and drinks (like lemon water and apple cider vinegar).
A natural remedy to soothe sensitive teeth and bleeding gums and a low-tox mouth wash recipe that won't disrupt your beneficial oral microbiome.
Recommendations for women who may have to have major dental work done such throughout pregnancy or breastfeeding, to protect your baby.
What are amalgam fillings and the potential issues this may causing if you have them in your teeth.
Recommendations of amalgam removal and alternative options.
What is a root canal and what your alternative options are.
How improper breathing could lead to ADHD and bedwetting in your little ones and steps for encouraging correct breathing again.

Are you sleeping, dining, driving, working and playing in a soup of electromagnetic radiation?

I know, it seems a bit far fetched, but in today's society most people, including babies (as well as bubba's still in the womb) and young children, are bombarded with EMF exposure regularly throughout the day.

To shed light on the very relevant topic in today's society, I invited Kristin Irwanto, co-founder of the radiation shielding business RadiaSmart, onto the podcast.

In this episode we explored...

The different types of EFM's are and how you may be exposed to them on a daily basis.

What the research is suggesting are the potential symptoms, conditions and dangers of EFM exposure, to your health.

In what situations you are most susceptible to the dangers of EMF exposure.

Steps to minimise your exposure to and protect yourself from EMF's inside and outside the home.

Success stories of customers who have minimised EMF exposure symptoms using RadiaSmart products.

Growing up on a farm, I loved calfing season. We'd check on the cows each day and admired nature unfolding from a distance, as the new borns calves who had entered the world. Something that fascinated me was how the Mumma cows instinctively consumed their placenta straight after birth.

This memory came back to me as it was my turn to prepare for birth and I was researching the benefits of placenta consumption.

At first, this may sound icky, but for me it seemed natural and resonated as something that would help to nurture me post birth. Instead of whizzing it up into a smoothie, I opted for a placenta encapsulation service from Rebecca at Blooming in Adelaide and found it help my post birth moods and milk production.

I know you've probably got some questions... and perhaps objections, so I've invited Rebecca onto the podcast to chat about the process, along with her wisdom as a lactation consultant and orofacial myologist.

In episode 30 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast, Rebecca explores...

> The process of placenta encapsulation and how it may benefit you as a new mum.

> Causes of pain when breastfeeding and signs to looks out for attachment issues.

> What a correct attachment should look at feel like while breastfeeding.

> Tongue & lip ties- what they are, how they may impact your baby and toddler and what are the signs to detect tongue or lip ties.

> Steps for tongue or lip tie treatment.

> Exercises to perform yourself on your baby, before you are able to access treatment of tongue or lip ties.

> How dummies and finger sucking can impact facial development and function.

> How orofacial myology may help your baby toddler or child with correct facial development.

> The causes of mouth breathing and why it's important to transition out of this habit.

> Navigating a biting breastfeeding baby or toddler.

Have you ever come across a wise soul who you could listen to for hours? Someone who is full of wisdom through their life experiences and training ...and you hang on every word they say.

I had one of those conversations recently with the inspiring Julie Bell.

Julie is a mother, doula, herbalist and activist – is the heart behind Blissful Herbs, which has become a household name across Australia for providing nurturing herbal teas, bath herbs, salves and tinctures for people who love natural living and the healing gifts of nature.

After training as a Registered Nurse and working for a decade and a half as a volunteer Christian humanitarian worker in Asia, Juliereturned to Australia. Having experienced 4 glorious homebirths along the way, Julie arrived fired up with a passion to serve birthing families and to support women in reclaiming their own birth-right and birth power. She completed her doula training in 2005 and since then has served hundreds of families in her capacity as birth and post-natal doula.

It is the passion of Julie’s life to support women in realizing their personal power and learning to wield it un-apologetically. It is the joy of Julie’s life to be allied with a remarkable cohort of creative and inspiring women & men who are a force of love and change in the world. Julie is the eternal student and constant journey-woman, always seeking, learning, discovering and expecting.

As a birth rights passionista, Julie has been at the fore-front of activism to retain and reclaim birthing rights and choices in Australia and globally. Julie’s life-long study of herbs and natural healing continued with completing the Advanced Diploma of Western Herbal Medicine in 2016.

Julie believes that birth wisdom and herb wisdom are ways by which people are able to re-connect with nature and their own innate wisdom, and that this knowledge is generous and abundant, free to all who with an open heart and mind, hungry to learn.

Over and over again, Julie has been privileged to watch in amazement the true work of the doula: the paradigm shift that occurs in an individual woman as she realises her own power and potential and walks into her future, strong and confident, rooted and grounded in the truth and wisdom she had carried within her, all along.

Into her 50s and beyond, Julie intends to continue to live radically, wage peace and make revolution. She has no plans to go quietly.

In my chat with Julie in episode 26 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba episode, we explored:

Why you should trust your body for your birthing journey.

The role doulas have in a birth setting and how you may have benefit from this support.

The role of your birthing companion and how this is respected and nurtured by having a doula present at your birth.

Are in in tune with your personal cycle? Do you know when you when you're nearing ovulation and menstruation?

If so, how do you track your cycle? Do you let an app decide when your fertile window is near, or when you are due for your monthly bleed?

The issue with period tracking apps is they are based on a text book 28 day cycle, with ovulation on day 14. This is not measuring your hormonal and temperature changes that control your personal cycle and fertility window. If you're relying on the info of an app for either contraception or conception guidance, this really isn't ideal.

To help get you started or take back control and really know the ins and outs of your cycle accurately, I invited my friend and fellow Naturopath onto the podcast to chat all things cycle awareness.

In this episode, you will learn:

How to track your cycle through basal body temperature charting

What apps and devices are needed and the optional devices we personally use and recommended

When cycle tracking through temperature charting isn't accurate

It's likely you've heard about your microbiome. You know, the good bugs that live on your skin, in your gut, lungs and yes, even in your vagina.

We're made up of 90% bacteria - they out number us by 10:1! Yep, there's more of them than cells in your body. So it makes sense that we take good care of them and create an environment where these healthy bugs want to hang out in.

Besides, these microbes are the ones needed in strength to provide us with immune health, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial functions. The beneficial bacteria on your skin also promote a balanced, healthy complexion.

In your gut, your microbes specifically allow you to digest your foods, absorb your nutrients and allow adequate detoxification from toxins and wastes. Yes, they help move your poo through your colon and promote a regular and complete toilet stop. They even play a role in the way you think, feel and sleep, through the influence they have on the production of your neurotransmitters, serotonin and melatonin.

The balance of your microbes can also impact your baby, unborn baby and/or your one-day-baby's health. The health of your future generation begins with your preconception wellbeing and continues with the maternal nourishment you provide throughout pregnancy- and a big factor is the health of your microbiome.

These are times when you particularly want to focus on good gut health, plus encourage a beautiful balance of bacteria throughout your body.

In this episode I share steps for you to improve your microbiome and I think some of them will shock you!

Can you resonate with any of these experiences?

It’s the few days before your period and your PMS is in full swing, with an irritable, snappy and sensitive, cry-at-the-drop-of-a-hat, snap-at-someone-for-saying-hello, whirl wind of crazy emotions.

Maybe it's because you haven't been sleeping well? You have tender breasts, you're cravings sweets, you feel puffy and start to dread the upcoming cramping and heavy flow you all to regularly suffer from.

This is a common story I hear as a Naturopath from women on their hormone balancing journey, either in a preconception phase, between or after babies. This is the story of Oestrogen dominance.

In this podcast episode, I delve into the ways you can avoid oestrogen overload (also known as oestrogen dominance) and work towards overcoming these symptoms and achieving healthy hormones and fertility.

Maybe for you it’s the chaos of juggling the mum: work balance or seeing multiple negative pregnancy tests, the anxiety of losing a pregnancy, being in the thick of broken Mumma sleep or your patience is wearing thin with a toddler who has dropped the day sleep, at your feet. On top of course all the other stressors our daily life brings.

So if you if you need a gentle reminder of ways to stay grounded amongst the chaos, this episode is for you.

For affecting so many couples, miscarriage is just not spoken about enough.

Society teaches us to be hush about early pregnancy, so an expecting mum you may go through the first trimester feeling confused about what is normal, suffering through morning sickness in silence and struggling with the ever-changing lifestyle adjustments a mum-to-be is advised to make.

There is often a constant worry and anxiety around the safety of baby, especially in the event of past complications and in the devastating event of a pregnancy loss, the mum and dad are often left to suffer alone. Instead, I believe this is a time we should be sharing our joyous news, our fears and losses with close loved ones we trust, as being strong and suffering alone does not serving anyone.

Here my aim is to open up the conversation about pregnancy loss, and if you’ve been asking “why us”, I will talk through some potential causes of miscarriage and some guidance of where to from here:
