In this episode, I’m talking about the “summer drift” and why so many women arrive in September feeling more exhausted, bloated and depleted than they expected.
This isn’t about avoiding ice cream, tracking every BBQ or being “good” all summer, but about staying anchored to a few simple things that help you feel well in your body.
I’m sharing my Summer 3: protein and fibre, protecting your sleep, and choosing one clear health goal instead of trying to fix everything at once. I’ll also be taking a short podcast break over the summer, but you can join my free d email series for weekly support, motivation and practical tips at keziahall.com/join.

What if the reason you’re not sticking to the healthy habits you know would help isn’t that you’re lazy, undisciplined or lacking willpower?
In this episode, I’m diving into the invisible mental load so many women carry: the remembering, planning, organising, anticipating and emotional holding that often goes completely unaccounted for. We’ll look at why this cognitive load can affect your energy, hormones, gut health, nervous system, brain health and ability to create sustainable habits in midlife.
Because sometimes the issue isn’t that you need to try harder. It’s that your brain is already carrying far too much.

Sleep is one of the most powerful tools for improving hormones, energy, cravings, body composition and brain health, yet it's often the first thing midlife women sacrifice.
In this episode, I unpack why sleep is far more than rest, how poor sleep affects fat loss, perimenopause, inflammation and decision-making, and why so many women think they're coping fine on far less sleep than they actually need. If you've been focusing on food, supplements or exercise while overlooking sleep, this episode might change how you think about your health entirely.

(Part 4 of a series called 'The Mistakes Women in Midlife Make with Their Health')
If you've been told that skipping breakfast is the key to weight loss, better health, or balancing your hormones, this episode might surprise you.
This week I am addressing mistake number 4 that women in midlife make. I'm unpacking why breakfast is one of the most strategic things many women in midlife can do for their energy, hormones, body composition, sleep, and cravings. We look at the science behind cortisol, blood sugar, muscle loss, and why intermittent fasting often doesn't work as well for women as it does for men.
Plus, I'll share simple ways to start eating breakfast again, even if you're never hungry in the morning.

(Part 3 of a series called 'The Mistakes Women in Midlife Make with Their Health')
So many midlife women come to me feeling frustrated, exhausted and convinced they’ve already “tried everything” to fix their hormones, bloating, fatigue or weight gain.
In this episode, I unpack why that feeling makes complete sense, but also why it often means you’ve been missing the right data, the right support and the right framework, not that your body is broken.
We dive into root causes, women’s health, nervous system regulation, why random supplements often don’t work, and how to stop throwing spaghetti at the wall with your health.

(Part 2 of a series called 'The Mistakes Women in Midlife Make with Their Health')
One of the biggest mistakes I see women in midlife making is being chronically under recovered.
So many women are trying to fix their hormones, lose weight, improve their gut health and get more energy while simultaneously under sleeping, under nourishing and constantly pushing harder. I unpack why recovery is not laziness or “doing nothing”, but one of the most strategic things you can focus on if you actually want your body to respond and heal.
We dive into sleep, nourishment, stress, protein, recovery and why you cannot out supplement or out diet a body that never feels safe enough to recover.
If you feel like you’re “doing everything right” but still not getting the results you want, this episode is for you.

(Part 1 of the Mistakes Women in Midlife Make With Their Health)
In this episode, I’m talking about one of the biggest mistakes I see women make when trying to heal their hormones, IBS, bloating and fatigue: trying to do everything at once.
I explain why more healthy habits does not automatically equal better results, and why strategy, prioritisation and understanding your root causes matters far more than perfection. I also share examples around PCOS, thyroid health and estrogen metabolism to show how focusing on the right 2-3 actions can completely change results.
If your health feels overwhelming, confusing or like a full-time job, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I talk about the hidden injustices in women’s health and why so many of us end up stuck in burnout, bloating, hormone chaos, and survival mode.
Why this is not a personal failure or lack of willpower, but often a very logical response to the systems and environments our bodies have been shaped by. We explore how shifting from blame to curiosity, data, and strategy can completely change your health trajectory. And I explain why getting support for your body is not indulgent, but one of the most powerful and radical things you can do.
Enjoy! xx

Weight gain in your 40s isn’t random, and it’s not a lack of willpower.
In this episode, I break down what’s actually happening with your hormones, appetite, and fat storage in midlife, and why the strategies that used to work suddenly stop. I also share the simple shifts that help you feel full, reduce cravings, and start working with your body again. If you’ve been blaming yourself, this will change how you see everything.

Why are you bloated even when you’re eating really healthy food?
In this episode, I unpack why bloating is often about far more than just the last thing you ate, and why so many women get stuck in a loop of overthinking every meal when the real issue may be a deeper gut imbalance.
I talk about IBS as a label rather than a root cause, the research linking IBS with SIBO, and why foods like fibre, vegetables and other “healthy” choices can sometimes make symptoms worse when the terrain of the gut is already out of balance.

In this mini episode, I talk about what to do when your body feels like it’s gone backwards, even when you’ve been doing everything “right.”
I share honestly about my own recent hormone flare up, why it felt disappointing, and what it reminded me about how healing actually works. I walk you through how to separate fact from emotion, why progress is never linear, and how to stop a single setback from spiralling into “this isn’t working.”
If you feel stuck, frustrated, or like your body is against you, this will help you steady yourself and refocus on what actually matters.

Protein is having a moment online, but most of the advice feels either extreme or confusing. So in this episode, I talk about what actually matters for your body in midlife.
We’re looking at why muscle mass naturally declines, how that impacts your energy, metabolism and long-term health, and what the research in women actually shows about protein and healthy ageing.
I also share how I approach this with my clients, what’s realistic to aim for, and why this is about feeling better now, not just in 20 years time.

If your mind never quite switches off and your body feels stuck in constant “go mode”, this short episode explores why nervous system overwhelm might be the missing piece in your health puzzle.
I share why supplements and “doing everything right” often aren’t enough if your body is stuck in survival mode - and what actually helps restore calm, energy and clarity.

In this episode, I’m diving into one of my favourite evidence-based “superfoods”: broccoli sprouts and the powerful compound they contain, sulforaphane.
We explore what sulforaphane actually is (and why you should care!), how it activates your body’s own antioxidant and detoxification pathways, and why that matters for women in midlife. This is something I use with clients all the time in my private clinic, and it can really make a difference in oestrogen metabolism, heavy periods, PMS, brain fog and metabolic stress.

Intermittent fasting is often promoted as a simple solution for weight loss, but most of the research behind it has been done in men. In this episode, I break down one of the few women-specific trials on time-restricted eating:
Flexible time-restricted eating and aerobic exercise in middle-aged women (Nature Communications, 2025).
You can read the paper here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-65678-z
This study looked at middle-aged women with overweight or obesity and found that an 8-hour eating window reduced fat mass, with the greatest improvements seen when time-restricted eating was combined with exercise.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why skipping breakfast often backfires for stressed or cycling women
- Why cortisol, sleep, and total intake matter more than fasting longer
- Why I prefer time-restricted eating over strict 16-hour fasts
- How a 10–12 hour overnight fast may support fat metabolism
- A more sustainable, physiology-first approach to weight loss
If you want a more sustainable, physiology-first approach to weight loss as a woman, this episode will help you rethink timing, stress, and structure.

Have you ever quietly wondered if Ozempic or Mounjaro would just make this whole weight thing easier? In this short episode, I explore why weight feels especially hard for women in midlife and what these medications are actually doing beneath the surface. We talk hormones, stress, insulin, and why willpower is rarely the real issue. If you feel stuck despite doing “all the right things,” there is a reason.

Omega-3s are not a wellness trend. They are a foundational nutrient for your brain, hormones, mood, and inflammation.
In this episode, I explain why omega-3s deserve far more attention than they get and how EPA and DHA support brain function, mental health, hormonal transitions, and inflammation. I share why women’s needs change across life stages, why intake does not always equal status, and why perimenopause is a key window to pay attention.
If you want clarity on what actually helps you feel better and where to focus first, this episode cuts through the noise and gets straight to what matters.

In this episode, I share how I have been supporting my hormones over the past year as I reflect on being in early perimenopause (??!!).
I talk through the mistakes I made, the tests that gave me the most useful insight, and the simple food, lifestyle and nervous system actions that made a real difference to my hormones, energy and cycle. I also share a short reflection on the year as a whole and what it has taught me about slowing down and listening to my body.
This is an honest, practical episode for women in early perimenopause who want grounded guidance rather than overwhelm.

This episode is my end-of-year round-up of the 10 biggest lessons my clients have had to learn before their bodies could actually heal.
I’m sharing the patterns I’ve seen again and again across gut issues, hormones, fatigue and midlife, from why symptoms rarely come from one place, to why nervous system regulation is non negotiable, to why you can’t restrict your way into good digestion.
If you’ve been stuck in the loop of trying “all the things” but still feeling rubbish, this one will help you zoom out, spot what you’ve missed, and get really clear on what to focus on in 2026.

In this episode I’m diving into one small but powerful blood marker you’ve probably never been offered at the GP: homocysteine.
We look at:
- What homocysteine actually is and why it matters for your mood, memory and hormones
- How B6, B12 and folate can help lower homocysteine
- The Oxford VITACOG trial showing B-vitamins can slow brain shrinkage in people with mild cognitive impairment
- Follow-up research showing B-vitamins work best when omega-3 levels are good – why your brain needs both B-vitamins and omega-3s together
- Practical ways to support healthy homocysteine levels through food, supplements and testing

In this 10-minute bonus episode, I’m sharing a little observation that’s been bubbling away for a while…
Why is it that so many of us will spend easily on things like Ozempic or quick fixes - yet hesitate, delay, or feel guilty investing in the kind of deep, foundational health work that actually changes how we feel long-term?
This isn’t an anti-medication rant.
It’s a curiosity.
A cultural moment worth pausing on.
And a gentle reminder that your health isn’t a luxury - it’s the foundation of your whole life.
We explore:
- The psychology of quick fixes vs real healing
- Why women especially feel guilty investing in themselves
- How we’ve been conditioned to spend on outcomes, not root causes
- What actually changes energy, hormones, digestion and mood long-term
- A loving nudge to back yourself and your wellbeing

Think midlife is one long slide into tiredness, creaky joints and forgetting what word you meant to say? Think again.
In this episode I unpack a 30-year study that shows your 40s and 50s are actually a super-charged window where small habits make a massive difference to your future health.
We talk movement, alcohol, hormones, mental wellbeing and why it’s definitely not “too late” if your 20s involved tequila, Marlboro Lights and very little sleep.
If you’re in midlife and want to feel good now and protect your future wellbeing, this episode will give you hope, science and some gentle but powerful next steps.

In this episode, I’m giving you a holistic, practical, and non-extreme guide to fasting, tailored specifically for women at different stages of life. Fasting is often oversold to women, and while it can have benefits, it’s not always the best approach for everyone.

I’ll walk you through the best fasting strategies for women in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond, while also addressing the common mistakes and myths around fasting. If you’ve ever wondered whether fasting is right for you or how to do it in a way that supports your hormones and metabolism, this episode is for you.

Many women are unknowingly falling victim to these energy thieves, and today, I’ll be diving deep into what they are and how you can reclaim your vitality.

In this episode, I’m diving into the topic of energy—because let’s face it, when you have energy, life just feels easier and better all around.
I’ll be sharing some holistic ways to help you restore energy if you’re dealing with chronic fatigue, Long COVID, fibromyalgia, or other draining conditions. I’ve worked with a lot of clients facing these challenges, and I’ve seen firsthand how complex and personal the journey to better energy can be.
With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, for example, it’s what we call a “syndrome,” meaning it’s a bunch of symptoms we don’t fully understand yet—kind of like PCOS or IBS. These diagnoses are basically labels for groups of symptoms without a clear cause. And because research is still limited, we’re missing a solid understanding and real treatment options. So, every person’s experience with CFS, Long COVID, or fibromyalgia is different, with unique root causes and triggers.
For these kinds of issues, conventional medicine often doesn’t have a lot to offer beyond maybe a couple of medications or sometimes therapy for CFS. But these are multifactorial syndromes, meaning there’s usually a mix of different factors at play. The key is figuring out what those factors are for you—what’s really driving your symptoms and what’s going to make the biggest difference.
I’ll be sharing the patterns and common factors I see most often with clients, as well as some quick, actionable tips you can start using right away to boost your energy.

Is it perimenopause? Or is it actually something else that's going on? That's what I'm sharing today in this mini episode. This episode aims to get you thinking, questioning, and being honest and also to provide you with a new idea.
We are seeing so much more chat about menopause and perimenopause, which is brilliant. I am here for so much more education. We are talking about it. There's awareness, it's happening, it's changing in workplaces, it is so needed. It's a really important transition, a lot of things can go wrong and lots of women can really struggle with this.
But I've also noticed when I'm talking to a woman who is thinking of working with me, whether it's late thirties or forties, the label that they're slapping on everything is perimenopause.
I'm not actually here to say that that is necessarily wrong. I just want to provide a different narrative of what could be going on or a different way of seeing it.
When it comes to your hormones, you actually have so much more control and you have so much more influence than you realise.

In this episode, we're talking about endometriosis, adenomyosis, and fibroids, as well as what an integrative healing approach is.
My job here as a nutritionist and coach (and here on the podcast) is to help you feel better. I want you to feel better. I don't mind how you get there as long as you get there but I've found through my experience and through helping hundreds of clients at this point, that a holistic approach is really powerful. It doesn't negate the other things like medicine and surgery, but actually, when you can treat the whole body, the whole person, and look at your diagnosis from that holistic lens, it can really work in helping you feel better.
Over the years, I have had so many clients with either Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, Fibroids or issues with the womb and often they're left feeling really despondent and hopeless like there's nothing they can do. Even if they have surgery, then they will probably have surgery again and again.
Often these are people in their 20s or 30s and they look at it like they have a life ahead that is full of constant surgeries to remove this kind of rogue tissue so I wanted to do a podcast episode on this.
I want to talk a bit about these conditions, summarise them and give you a high-level picture.

Did you know you can actually prepare for a better, easier menopause? That there are (at least) 5 things you can start doing right now to set you up for success?
With all of the increased awareness and education that is going on around menopause, (which I love!), there's also something missing in that conversation.
I am not at the point of menopause yet, I can set myself up for success as I head into that era of my life. So, whether you listen to this in your mid 30s, or 40s, wherever you are, if you actually are in the throes of perimenopause, all of these things apply.
I think whilst we talk about it and share openly about how menopause can affect us, we also need to be really careful that we're not just normalising suffering. So in this podcast I am sharing with your the 5 things you can do to help making this transition easier.

In this bonus episode, I’m talking all about calories and if we should pay any attention to calories at all.
We see calories noted on everything so should we just ignore it completely and think calories are complete BS or are they actually something we want to pay attention to?
Should we track them and create a calorie deficit to reduce body fat? Are we eating too many calories?

In this episode, I’m giving you the ultimate guide to weight loss and breaking down the 5 key areas you need to focus on to make fat loss inevitable.
With so much conflicting information out there, I’ve created this episode to bring together all my thoughts and strategies in one place. Whether you're just starting your journey or have tried everything, this guide will help you gain clarity on what shifting your body composition truly requires—and how to make that decision with confidence.
Change always involves effort, and when it comes to weight loss, mindset is just as important as external habit changes for most people. The path to weight loss depends on your personal history, what you’ve tried before, and how much weight you’d like to release.
Whether your goal is to lose 10 pounds or 10 stone, the approach will vary, but these core components are essential no matter what.
This episode is your ULTIMATE holistic guide to weight loss—one that considers both body and mind!

How do you become your most radiant energised self this summer? Where do you get that summer glow from? And I can tell you it's not from a five-day juice cleanse.
In this podcast episode, I'm going to share with you some of the summer glow basics.
This time of year can feel really hectic. Summer is often filled with a lot of busyness like weddings and holidays. It can also be really busy for some people as well, especially if you are a parent and are navigating school holidays and time off and work. All this busyness often means that it’s also a time when people are most likely to crash diet, do a juice cleanse or suddenly start going to the gym every day of the week to shape up for their bikini.
There is often an attitude of ‘sack it, what's the point? I'm just going to eat ice cream. I'll start again in September or I'll start again when the kids go back or I can't look after my health right now’
If that's going on in the back of your brain, I just want to call a bit of BS to that because this isn't about being on or off something. You don't need to do a juice cleanse in order to go into a bikini. If you need a new size bikini just buy one or just don't wear a bikini. Do whatever you want. It’s your body.
Remember that confidence is a practice. Confidence doesn't come from body size. Confidence comes from beliefs. It comes from something that we internally practice. It doesn't come from the label on your jeans or the label on your bikini. It comes from within you.
So, there can be a lot going on in the summer and so in this episode, I want cut through the crap and share with you some of the things to focus on, some of the things that I will be focusing on and give you a couple of essential reminders.

In this episode, I am going to be giving you a really big dose of clarity, a gentle kick up the butt now that we are halfway through the year.
I love reflecting on the six months that have gone past and the six months ahead, so I want to encourage you to take some time to think about what you want for the next six months as we dive into this episode.
So, what is the most important thing that you need to know and do in order to sort out your hormones, to create a happier and flatter belly, to improve your mood, to have more glowing radiant skin, to have more energy and to become that really well healthy radiant kick ass woman that feels like your life and your body and your health is a springboard for the rest of your life that you're not limited by?
Your body and health propel you towards the life you want to live. Whatever it is that you want to do, your body is the platform and springboard for all of those things.
Whether that's your career, parenting, in social justice, house renovations, traveling the world, retraining, starting a new career; all these things require you to be well.
We are in the age of information, so you can Google a symptom, how to get rid of it, how to deal with it, why you have it, what supplements might help, etc and you can get tons of information.
But we are not lacking in information, we actually have an abundance to the point of often where that feels overwhelming. What you need is clarity and structure in order to see massive progress and make massive results.

In this episode, we're diving into gut health and looking kind of at a couple of basics - Probiotics, prebiotics, postbiotics and synbiotics which is something that you might have seen on the internet.
I want to demystify this for you so that you know what that is, if it can help, and what is actually going to help your gut health because gut health is a foundation of hormonal health and healthy periods and healthy menopause and fertility.
Gut health is the foundation of mental health, of sleep, of glowing skin, it plays a role in body composition, energy production, your immune system and autoimmune conditions.

Welcome to episode 300!
Thank you so much for being here, whether you're new to the podcast or been listening for years, I appreciate you being here. I’m sending you so much love.
We're creating our own movement in this corner of the internet where we are becoming well women, where we are learning how to heal, thrive, energized, so that we can be radiant. That is available for you right here on the Gut Goddess Show with 300 episodes to help you.
So, let’s dive into this episode…
Today, I want to take things back to basics and look at eating. Eating 101 in a world where you are told probably five contradictory things every single day on Instagram about what you should or should not be eating so - what the heck do you eat?
As a Holistic Nutritionist and Coach, I'm going to be sharing with you the 5 different areas or structures that you want to be following and thinking about when it comes to food. You can fit in whether you're vegetarian, high-carb, low fat or plant-based.
Applying these principles will really help your hormones, your mental health, weight loss if that's necessary and desired, and also help with your gut health.
Let's dive in!

In this episode, we are looking at beliefs because as a Nutritionist and Coach, I've worked with loads of people over the years and I spend the majority of my time with clients looking at what actions they can take, what tweaks can we make, what habits can we shift, what foods can we add in, etc. - We create a personalised plan of action.
But taking the right kind of healing, wonderful actions that you need in order to be your most radiant, confident, energized, infused, calm, peaceful, happy self actually requires certain beliefs in order to take that action. This is a thing that people often miss.
They blame themselves because they just can't stop eating the sugar and bread or they can't seem to meditate and they just blame the fact that they're not taking the “right” actions.
Sometimes you're not taking the right actions because you don't know what they are (and if that's the case you need to book your Well Woman Audit).
Or sometimes you know what the right action is but you are still not able to do it which is where it goes deeper and we need to review your beliefs.

Let's talk about what could be going on in your body. I'm a big fan of understanding your root cause. That's why I do what I do as a Holistic Nutritionist and Coach.
The reason that I talk about figuring out your root cause and asking why is because I know in my own health journey (and in the countless women that I've helped) one of the biggest obstacles is for you making progress and being that well, radiant, energised version, woman of yourself is often that you don't actually understand what's going on and when you don't understand what's going on, you don't feel empowered.
You feel stuck and hopeless and think there is no point in doing anything. Not having clarity will keep you stuck. It will also keep you feeling demotivated and uninspired.
In this episode, we're going to be looking at what imbalances you have and the top five root causes I see with clients is because I want you to start thinking about what is at the root of your symptoms whether that’s low energy, anxiety, awful periods, sluggishness, skin issues, irregularities in your period, an autoimmune condition. What could be the root causes?
When you start to understand the root causes, you gain clarity. When you gain clarity, you gain motivation and feel inspired, and you feel really hopeful.
These are the feelings that help you create change and take consistent action.

What are the secrets to stopping bad eating habits once and for all? That's what we're looking at in this episode.
I don't want you to have this ‘food drama’ going on where it's good food, bad food, on a wagon, off a wagon, where you are spiraling into a pit and you're feeling really guilty about what you eat. This kind of food obsession/focus is very draining.
If you often think things like ‘I've been so good all week and I just ruined it by eating this’ or ‘why can't I stop eating sugar or bread’ this episode is for you.
I want you to enjoy your food, I want you to find pleasure in food, maybe even comfort in food. I personally do find comfort in food sometimes and that's okay!
I don't want your relationship with food to drain your energy. Your relationship with food can have joy and creativity if you want it to, but it also needs to be kind of neutral. - The food that you eat doesn't mean anything about who you are or have any say in your worth or your value as a person but so often that's what we tie this to.
“I've eaten bad food therefore I'm a bad person” - This kind of thinking needs to stop otherwise you're really going to struggle to make progress.
In this episode, I'm going to be sharing four secrets to stopping these bad eating habits or to stop spiraling into that ‘on and off / good and bad’ trajectory that so many of us are on.

We are talking about feeling old before your time feeling stuck in a rut and fed up and what the root cause is? What is really going on to need all those really important and valid feelings? What are some of your root causes?
In this episode, I'm going to give you some clarity so that you can feel really empowered to know what is really going on and take really specific, accurate and effective action.
I have conversations with women about their health and about how frustrated and burnt out they feel, how they're at a low point or they're just not feeling like the best version of themselves and it's often the sense of vagueness and the lack of clarity around what their root causes are that keep them stuck living with the same symptoms year upon year. Most of the people I talk to have been struggling with the symptoms they have for a while.
So, what is it that is keeping you stuck? What is it that keeps you in that place of dis-ease around your body, that place of not feeling comfortable, not feeling radiant, not feeling confident. That's what we're diving into in this episode and I'm really excited to talk about it. It's going to be great!

Why do slimming clubs and diets work and why do people keep going back to them?
We're going to be looking at what essential needs these slimming clubs, diets and programs are meeting so that you can kind of take some of the good out of what is essentially a deeply flawed, oppressive system and apply them so that you can create success in your health, in your eating, in your relationship with food and your body.
If you didn't know, I joined my first slimming club when I was age 11. So, I've got a good amount of experience of brainwashing, of the structure of these clubs and of how they work.
Plus, I've had so many clients coming to me who have been in that cycle of joining slimming clubs on and off every few years - so let’s dive into what you need to make peace with your plate, body and how to shift unwanted body fat.

Glow-up to me means that next version of radiance, of joy, of peace, of wellness, of being that well woman. I talk so much here about being a well woman and how the world needs us all, needs more well women in it and how that is possible for you. You can be well, radiant, confident and feeling really good - That is what I preach.
I'm going to let you in on the behind the scenes and more about this plan I've created for myself, why I'm really confident that it's going to work and the key part of this glow-up plan is and why I'm so confident that I'm going to get to where I want to be.

Today we are talking about the new era for women's hormones - for periods and for hormonal health because we are in a new era and enough is enough with all the shame with all the hiding. No more ‘let's not talk about the periods’ or ‘Oh my gosh, she dropped a tampon on the floor’ and ‘we're not talking about menopause’
We're not talking about any of this stuff as much as we should be and enough is enough.
Did you know that your period and having female hormones is the reason humanity has existed for thousands of generations? How has it become something that is disdained, embarrassing, humiliating and ignored?
That is an atrocity in my books. So, I am just putting this out as his prophetic call. There's a new era for women's hormones. We're in it now. I hope you can feel it, listening to this podcast episode because your hormones can be here to enrich your life, to enrich people’s lives around you, but mainly that your life can be great.
If you live with hormonal imbalance, it affects your whole life. I want you to live your one awesome, brilliant, beautiful, messy, imperfect, adventurous life and it's hard to do that if you're on a cycle of pain, anxiety, heaviness, loneliness, sluggishness.
It is hard because you’re stuck in this vicious cycle and it doesn't need to be this way. Your hormones when they're balanced are an asset to your humanity
As you can tell, I love talking about it so it's gonna be like a passionate rampage of call to action and call to arms so that you can have balanced hormones because I really do want that for you.

Maybe you don't need more therapy. Maybe you need to support your brain.
This might be a slightly provocative title, but I have some thoughts on this as someone who has done a fair amount of therapy and values it deeply.
I am not anti-therapy, I just wonder how often we are missing the practical nourishment of our brains?
We usually always jump to therapy, which is well researched but how nourished is our brain with sleep, vitamins, fats, minerals, and the fuel it needs.
Because I can tell you it's going to be really hard for you to create all these new thoughts and all these new habits and these beliefs and identities if your brain is poorly nourished and struggling and just surviving.
In order for you to deal with whatever symptom that you're in therapy for, whether it's anxiety, depression or trauma, one of the things that you're trying to do is create more safety in your body and the easiest and simplest ways of creating more safety is making sure that your organs and your body are well nourished.
So, whether you're struggling with your mental health or not, we really need to learn to support our brains and we need to learn to support our children's brains.
When you have more resilience in your brain, you have more resilience in your hormones, in your gut, in your skin, in your sleep, in everything.

The pressure to be thin, this is finding a healthy body size for you - That's what we're looking at in this episode.
We need to do a lot of untangling around this. For most of you listening to this, you'll have grown up heavily brainwashed by dieting culture, and the idea that thin is best, most beautiful, most worthy, it's the goal.
But this is actually about being well, finding a healthy body size, being healthy and well in our bodies, and that might look different for all of us. - You can be thin and incredibly unhealthy, you can be thin and incredibly healthy, you can have a larger body and be incredibly healthy, you can have a larger body and not be healthy for you.
So, how do we untangle? How do you know, if actually you do need to shift some body fat and are thinking ‘Maybe that would help my hormones and my joints to my back and my autoimmune issue’ versus ‘I've just been brainwashed into thinking thin is best’.
It can feel really murky and messy. This is quite a bit of a vulnerable episode for me because I still feel this now. I still feel this pressure to be thin especially as a Holistic Nutritionist - being in the nutrition and wellness space, if I'm not careful I can feel these different comparisons and little threads and whispers in my brain that I should be thinner. Which is total BS.
So, we can live in this murky place. Do I need to lose weight? Do I want to lose weight? Is that just dieting mentality? Is that actually true? Will this actually help me? It can all just all feel very overwhelming and a bit messy.
So, in this episode, we're addressing decades of dieting indoctrination and how you can find a healthy body size for you.
Also, if you want to know more about this, I'm doing 3 workshops starting at the end of April to help you kick-start feeling well. To kick-start your hormone balance and your healthy belly and get help you get rid of IBS and help you sort out your body composition.
One of the workshops is going to be diving into body composition a little bit more because I actually have a lot, I have a very unique approach to body composition.
I have a lot of tools, a lot of strategies, and a lot of practical actions that can help, but I do think this is an important area that doesn't get talked about and I want to start talking about it. I want you to be free and well in your body and that might mean for some of you shifting your body fat and for some of you that might mean accepting where you are at and I want to help you with both.
You can find out all about the workshops here.

Why do you have awful PMS? Why the low mood, sore boobs, insomnia? Why do you feel like crying all the time? Why do you get really anxious or depressed? What is with PMS? Is it a normal part of being a woman or is there stuff you can do about it?
Spoiler alert... There is definitely stuff you can do about it and I'm going to share the things that you can do because your periods and hormones are actually meant to be an incredible superpower. They're not meant to be this thing that limit you, hold you back, that you hate and make your life miserable.
You're not meant to be on this hormonal rollercoaster that you don't feel in control of. Your hormones are here to serve you, to add to your life and not take away.
I've worked with clients on their periods and hormones and I, myself have been on a rollercoaster with heavy, painful periods where I needed to be medicated for at least 3 days, just to make it through.
While it's normal to have fluctuating hormones, it's not normal to feel like you are being tossed around with every part of your cycle.

Why does waking up feel so hard? Why are the mornings difficult and you feel sluggish with brain fog? Why do you really need that coffee or cup of tea in the morning?
This is something that a lot of people have and a lot of clients I work with come to me and tell me that this is one of the many symptoms they have.
Some people feel like they need a coffee IV trip or have to have a cup of tea, but actually, whilst it's really common to feel like this, it's not normal. - Your body should have a natural alarm clock system within itself and if that's not working and helping you to feel awake and alert in the morning, there are things going awry
In this episode, I'm going to share three different areas and three different reasons why mornings feel so hard and why you feel like you have to reach for that coffee or you can't function without the tea or Redbull or whatever it is that you reach for.
There are simple things that you can do, and if you implement them in the next two weeks, you could probably have better energy in the morning. Some of this stuff isn't hard. It's just that you have never been taught what's going on and what's going on behind this symptom.

Are continuous blood glucose monitors (CGM) useful or just another fad? Should you sign up for Zoe or some other thing that you're being advertised online?
If you're anything like me, with constantly being advertised to about these things - but is it right for you? In this episode, we’re talking about whether it’s useful to you and going to help you to shift your hormones, belly or moods?
I'm going to share the reasons why I like and sometimes use Blood Glucose Monitors as well as some of the reasons I don't like them plus more about my recent experiment and what I do with my clients.

In this episode, we're talking about sex! Specifically low libido which comes up a lot with my clients.
Why do you have low libido and how you can increase your sex drive?
Sex is something I talk about with my clients, but I haven't talked about it here on the show until now! Sex is so good for you and orgasms are incredible for your health. The more orgasms you can have, the more intimacy, pleasure and connection you can have with another person and yourself the better.

I just have something I want to update you on and announce what is happening in March that I don't want you to miss out on. If you've been listening to the podcast for a long time, you need to get one of these booked in. I have created something called The Well Woman Audit, which is a free holistic health assessment, where we sit for half an hour on Zoom and we go through the holistic process and method that I have to assess what is going on with your health.
Why do you feel so awful, tired, bloated and comfortable, fed up? What do your symptoms mean? And what's going to help them to go away?
So, if you know, you need some support, but everything just feels really overwhelming and you're really struggling, book in for your Well Woman Audit.
I talk all the time on this podcast about getting some personalised support and this is a really great way of getting started, where you can just understand more of what's going on in your body and what you might need, what lab tests you might need, what you need to focus on and we're really going on. When you understand what is going on then you can actually do something about it. These are completely free and I've got eight spaces available in March.
If you have been wondering why you feel so rubbish, this is for you. I would love to chat to you, space is limited.
Go to keziahall.com/audit to book your free welcome and audit in.
Why do you wake up with a flatter tummy and end the day with what feels like a huge bloated belly? This is a problem so many of my clients have and they're confused as to why this is happening.
This also used to be me… I would wake up in the morning and look at my belly and think this is roughly how my belly looks/is meant to look and then at the end of the day, I would wonder what has happened to my insides. I would feel sore and would wear stretchy things because my jeans wouldn't fit anymore and I would just be so uncomfortable.
Why does this happen? What's going on? Why are you bloated in the evening?
We are going to dive into some of the reasons in this episode.
I also want to remind you, no matter where you are in your health, if you're feeling stuck, you're feeling overwhelmed, if you're in a lot of pain, you're having a really hard time with your health, things can change. It's like when you're in the depth of winter and it's so dark and you wonder if you will ever see the sun again and then the season changes and it happens quite quickly. It’s the same with your health.

How do you transform your health when you are short on time or energy or money or all of the above? How do you create the change you want to see, the change in your hormones and your belly and in your mind and in your energy? How do you create that if you feel like you're lacking in one of these resources? That is what we're looking at in this episode.
I'm going to share with you a two step process that is going to help you to move through these because I know from working with hundreds of people that if you feel like you're limited in time, in energy and money, you already struggle to make progress.
If you want to transform your health, if you want to create change, then know that you're going to have to overcome obstacles in order to do that. You won't create and totally transform your hormones and get rid of your IBS, for example, without overcoming and walking through resistance.
Resistance is one of the things that keeps people stuck the most. If they are really clear that they want things to change, but they're not willing to walk through the resistance or overcome the obstacles that get in the way. I don't mean that all of this stuff has to be so hard and awful, it doesn't actually need to be, but there does need to be an awareness for you to be conscious of the fact that if you're saying you want to create change and transformation in your health, there will be obstacles.
So, you have to, with full awareness and consciousness, plan for how you're going to overcome those obstacles and that's what I'm going to share with you in this podcast.
This episode is going to be really helpful - Because I work with hundreds of people and who are short on time, energy and money, I'm going to share the tools that I use with my clients and for myself.

In this bonus episode, I want to cover a really important topic: Why is it so hard to implement these healthy habits that you know about that you read about? Why do you struggle to actually do the things consistently that you know are good for you?
I share stuff on this podcast and you probably learn new things, new geeky information but there's also a lot of basic stuff, like the habits that we talked about in the previous episode that you maybe don't actually implement.
Why is it hard to do, why is it hard to go to sleep earlier, to stay hydrated, to have a better morning routine? This is what we're looking at today's episode because until you can understand what the obstacles are, what is really holding you back, having the information of the habits and the strategy is kind of pointless.
The only way you're going to see results is with the right personalised strategy and the ability to implement that strategy. This is where most people exhaust themselves. They spend so much time researching, Googling, learning and reading, getting strategies, getting formulas, figuring out, and yet they never spend any time understanding what is going to help them to implement that data and information which is pointless.
It will actually leave you potentially more burnt out and feeling like you're working really hard on your health, but you're not actually seeing any changes because you're just gathering data, you're not actually able to implement anything.
I'm sharing the big picture, the historical picture, the present picture of why it's hard to implement and what you can do, what you can do about that, what you actually need to create incredible shifts and incredible changes, what you actually need so you can become your most radiant, energised, happy, confident version of yourself because that is possible.
Just because you maybe haven't created it before, doesn't mean it's not possible now. You just probably weren't supporting yourself, you weren't understanding both the strategy and the behind the scenes of what's going on in your mindset and in your beliefs and the obstacles that are making it feel hard.
Because it is possible for you! Yes, change can feel difficult and we need support with that but that doesn't mean it's not an option. It is an option for you. I want you to be your most wonderful self. So, let's dive into this podcast. I hope you enjoy it and I'll see you on the other side.

What are some of the habits that are actually going to move the needle when it comes to our health?
What are the strategic things to focus your precious time and energy on?
I'm going to be sharing with you the four things that actually make a big difference and can really help you see some big shifts without you needing to do 20, 30, or 50 things.
When it comes to your health, when it comes to transforming your hormones, your IBS, your weight, your energy, and getting rid of pain, you need to be strategic.
It is unrealistic for you to try and do 20 or 30 things. This is the thing that holds most people back and stops so many people making progress because they try to do tons of stuff without ever really solving the main issues or without really being strategic in where to focus first.
I don't want that for you. I am a holistic nutritionist. I'm super strategic. I like things to be efficient so that's what we're diving into in today's episode. I hope that you enjoy it.

Today, I'm going to share with you why nervous system regulation is crucial for your belly, your hormones and your mood and why for a lot of you actually this is maybe a missing piece more than like making dietary changes and going gluten-free.
Nervous system regulation has become very popular. I am seeing tons of reels about it on Instagram and I'm so glad about that.
Actually, understanding your nervous system and being equipped with the right tools in order to regulate and balance it will really help all the other healthy things you do to just work much better.
This is a really key foundation and I want to share with you A) Why this important B) Three really important things that you can do to help regulate your nervous system this week so you can feel better, improve your belly, and improve your hormones and feel happier.

In this episode, we are talking about no longer tolerating discomfort and pain in our health and our bodies. I'm sharing with you some of the big wins from 2023, some of my own and my clients BIG wins. How they made changes despite being told to live with it and that things are ‘never going to change’.
But despite being fobbed off they have seen change, seen healing and completely transformed the symptoms that would never go away.
So, I'm going to be sharing with you some of these big wins because we all need so much more hope. We settle for the IBS, the awful hormones, the anxiety, the antidepressants, the awful mood, the insomnia, the eczema, the acne, the painful periods and think that there's nothing we can do or there's nothing that can change but that's not always true.
So, let's just not settle for our own suffering. I don't want that for you. I don't want that for me. I don't want it for my clients. I don't want it for my kids. I don't want it for anyone in my community. I want you to be as well as you can be.

In this episode, we're talking about sugar and how sugar dims your light plus the how and the why of ditching sugar because I would call reducing and removing refined sugar a foundational basic step one and it's easy especially at this time of year (after Christmas) It is easy for this to kind of go dry and for us to lose sight of this so I'm going to share some of the geeky facts around this and inspire you and re-envision your thoughts around this basic area.
It's really simple, but the impact that it can have can be really profound. If you can have a healthy relationship with sugar, if you can, take the power back when it comes to your relationship with sugar or said another way in a more practical way: You can just remove refined sugars and refined carbohydrates or reducing them can have a profound impact on your mental health, hormonal health, belly and your joy and pleasure in the world.
This isn't about restriction and deprivation and removing food for the sake of being better, deprived and being miserable. This is actually about you feeling really good, feeling your happiest and most joyful and being the most resilient and energised version of yourself.
A lot of refined sugar and excess refined carbohydrate is going to dim your light and it's going to make you feel crap.
You might need to hit the reset button when it comes to your sugar intake or maybe you've never really addressed this area because it just feels so big and overwhelming.
I'm going to break it down into the how and the why.
Let’s dive in!

Today we are talking about why your health is a radical revolution and why potentially it's feeling hard to change your habits, to change your routines, to create healthy changes that actually last and it's not because you lack self-control, it's not because you're useless or a failure or have lack of discipline. It's probably something much deeper and more systemic than that and that is what we're going through in this week's podcast, so, get ready to feel inspired, motivated.
This also might trigger off some slight righteous rage which is all okay so you know you might need to feel some feelings after this but I really hope that this inspires you to have more compassion on yourself because I think when you are kind and compassionate on yourself. This is kind of what really makes me different as a holistic nutritionist.
This isn't about ‘do this plan and work harder’ it's really about understanding what's going on in your body in a really holistic sense and then having compassion because you have that understanding and that is what allows you to take a line to strategic and consistent action.
It’s why my clients see incredible results and I want to share that with you today.
I hope you're ready to be inspired.

What is going on when you've been told everything is fine?
What is happening when you've been told, all your results look ‘normal’, everything's fine, there's nothing you can do?
What can you do if you feel like you've been fobbed off or that you just are not fitting in the boxes in conventional medicine?
I'm going to share with you what could be really going on when you're struggling when you have symptoms when your are bloated, have skin issues, weird bowels, excess anxiety or struggling with your energy or unwanted weight gain.
What is going on even if you've been told everything is fine?
I've been told that everything looks 'normal' so many times in my life, when I was clearly suffering and while I was grateful I didn't have a major known disease - it was frustrating.
I eventually found out what was going on and that was why I retrained as a holistic nutritionist because I realised that there are answers out there.
If you are struggling, there will be a reason and your job is to find that way.

This Mini Episode is a heartfelt message to remind you how powerful you are and that there is so much you can do to feel better.
I chat to people and they and through no fault of their own (no shame in this at all) but they literally did not know that they do not have to have awful periods, that they could get rid of their IBS, that joint pain could be a thing of the past, or that they could stop with the constant constipation or the loose horrible bowels or that their gallbladder issues or endometriosis could be helped.
When I'm talking about these things, I'm never mean ‘my way is better than surgery or my way is better than conventional medicine’ - I mean that people don't realize the breadth of what tools are available for them in order to heal and feel better so that they can wake up and enjoy being in their body.

Where do you even begin?
Well in this week's podcast, I want to introduce to you the 3 F’s for Feeling Good - my unique, holistic & science-based methodology that will help you feel good - fast!

Chances are you’ve been told or believed that if you ate less food then things would be better.
Fewer calories mean less weight gain and generally make you a better person right?
WRONG!
And that is what we are diving into in today's episode - I want to myth bust the idea of eating less is best… because my clinical experience working with lots and lot of women has told me the opposite.
So, I am here to make a case for you to ditch the restriction, the portion control and eat MORE food!

This episode is something that doesn't get talked about often yet it will be impacting your hormones, belly, relationship with food, energy, sleep and health overall. It will be impacting how you treat your body, how you eat and how kind you are to yourself. And if you struggle with staying ‘motivated’ then its probably because you need to have a kinder more compassionate approach (I explain this more in the episode!)
Because when it comes to your body and your symptoms - CONTEXT is key.
Or said another way - the ecosystem you have come from, grown up in, and been a part of MATTERS. It impacts your hormones, your gut, your relationship with food, your weight and your health behaviours.
And THAT is what I am addressing in this week's podcast.

Did you know that your gut health massively impacts your hormones?
I didn't know this at all.
I mean in fact I didn't know much about my periods and hormones at all other than it was 'normal' for it to be miserable and awful...oh and that I should be ashamed and embarrassed (what a great foundation for women's health!).
But this week on the podcast I am sharing with you something that doesn't get talked about but is super important if you want better, pain-free periods, happier menopause, and to get off the hormonal rollercoaster you may be on.
(Also it means your belly improves too - a winner all round!)

We're talking about burnout today. What to do when you just feel exhausted, done, depleted, and just, frazzled for want of a better phrase.
So, we're going to look at what might be happening in your body in terms of what's going on in your brain and the hypothalamus and your pituitary and your adrenal axis. Sometimes known as ‘adrenal fatigue’
But we're going to look at more of what could be actually happening and then look at what you could do.
So, this episode is going to be really helpful even if you're just feeling slightly burnout or a bit fatigued or even if you're the other extreme where you are just totally done.

So, as a recovered binge and comfort eater, how do we move on and let go of bingeing and comfort eating? How can we fix this habit and behaviour? And also what is it telling us about our bodies and our lives? That is what we are looking at today in this week's episode.
How can you fix your binge and comfort eating? Because this is something I've worked on with a lot of clients and also work through myself and I am going to share some stuff in today's episode that I basically can guarantee you've not heard before or thought about when it comes to this area.
Most people's approach to bingeing and comfort eating is this, ‘just stop it’ mentality (Dealing with the habit)
Whereas in true holistic nutritionist style, I really want to look at the root cause. Why are you bingeing? Why are you comfort eating?
Because when you can figure out what the real problem is, you can actually solve it. And bingeing and comfort eating, they're just symptoms of a deeper root cause and that is what I'm going to share with you in today's episode.

Why does investing in your body and your health feel scarier than, let's say buying a new car or booking a holiday?
Why do you get the absolute panic when you hear about the cost of organic food or the cost of working with me or a yoga class or therapy, you're just thinking ‘Nope, too expensive’
Why do we get that really big emotional response? Or that just panic, that sheer money panic of “aha, I can't do it”?
Cause if you’re anything like me, you have felt that panic.
It's really important that we address your health and your wealth because when we look back at history and how women's bodies have been treated and how women's financial empowerment has been, women have had a very disempowered relationship with their bodies and with money in the past. And it's time that that changed.
We need to change that narrative moving forward. It might be that your relationship with money is getting in the way of your health.
It did for me for years. I would've made so much more progress if I had just dealt with my relationship with money sooner because it was getting in the way of me making progress in my health.

Today's episode is all about how you can fix your hormones, whether you're still getting your period or perimenopausal, menopausal, or postmenopausal.
I'm going to be sharing with you the foundations that you need in order to see some massive shifts and to balance your hormones.
These are the essential things that often don't get talked about, but are really important. If you want to see some changes in your hormones and feel like your hormones are really serving you and helping you, and you want to do that with more speed and more ease, I'm going to be diving into some of the practical actions you can take.
So, get a pen and some paper, take some notes, because even if you just apply one of these things that I share in today's episode, it's really going to help your hormones.

This week on the podcast, we are talking about how you hit the reset button when life happens.
We're talking a bit about alcohol, about body composition and weight.
Plus Jess is back! So, if you've been listening to the podcast for a while, you know that last year I did regular sessions with Jess with consultations and informal sessions on the podcast.
So, if you enjoyed last year's sessions with Jess, welcome. If you want to catch up, if you don't know what I'm talking about or if you're new to the podcast, then you can go back to the show notes and catch up on some of the previous episodes.
This week we're really talking about hitting the reset button because #lifehappened to Jess and some just big stuff happened so we had to stop and she wanted to restart again.
It's probably about 7/8 months since we recorded. And so our last recording, she'd made loads of progress with her hormone symptoms. The main reason we started the sessions together was because her hormones were just going crazy.
She's always had steady Eddie periods - 28 days on the button, no real drama then all of a sudden they just went a bit mental and she wasn't really sure why.
She knew she had thyroid disease but she wasn't sure if she had antibodies and Hashimotos, so we ran some tests.
She's anemic. Her body composition has been struggling with weight yo-yoing backwards and forwards and gaining weight and not losing it, low energy, brain fog, all these kinds of things.
When we last checked in with her, she was doing a lot better and a lot of her hormone stuff had disappeared and she was mainly wanting to focus on body composition. So, we are checking in today and we're going to talk about alcohol and body weight and resetting all that.
Catch up on sessions with Jess below:
- Session 1: Energy, Hypothyroidism & Awful Periods
- Session 2: Coffee, Hormones Testing, Experiments
- Session 3: Update, weight loss frustration, CGM and why she is so darn tired
- Session 4: Weight gain & your nervous system
- Session 5: How to support her thyroid, digestion & hormones

This week we are looking at holistic approaches to anxiety and depression, part two. So I am gonna be sharing with you the six other steps or actions or things that you can do to really help support your mental health, your joy, your wellbeing, your peace, your sense of calm, your motivation, and your brain.
Essentially, I'm giving you the rest of this holistic picture. So, if you haven't listened to part one, make sure you go and do that here where I address the first 4 things.
Today we're talking about food, supplements, detox support, feelings, nervous system, regulation, therapy, trauma work, all the juicy things because when it comes to your mental health, there is so much that you can do to support it. There's so much that you can do to help your brain, your mood, your motivation.
Having struggled with anxiety and mental health issues on and off for all my life really, this is something that is so close to home, but I also really have felt the benefit of this holistic approach in my mental health journey and I see it all the time with clients as well.
So, I'm sharing with you 10 different things that will help inside both part 1 & 2 and I really recommend you implement at least one of these things to support your mental wellbeing.

What are some holistic approaches that you can have towards anxiety and depression in your overall mental health? Mental health is something I talk about a lot with clients and sometimes we have never been told, or we just don't realise that there's actually so many things that we can do to really bolster and support our brain and our mental health.
This is going to be part one of a 2 part series, and today I'm sharing the first of four things that you can do to really support your brain so that there can be more joy, more balance, and that you can really think about cultivating your mental health because this is something a lot of us struggle with and it's really important to have this conversation.
And, it's really important that you know that you are empowered, that there are options, that there are choices when it comes to your mental health.

So, today's topic is SO important. When you understand and realise it and allow this idea (and revelation) to seep into your bones and your brain, everything will change.
In order for you to make fast progress and see big results in your hormones, your belly and your energy, you need to understand and lean into this truth.
And, it's the truth that nobody is coming to do this for you. Nobody is coming to work on your health for you or your hormones or your gut health or your energy.
The reason is that nobody is more powerful than you!
So this podcast is really a bit of a gentle and loving wake up call to help you understand that you are far more powerful than you've ever been told or more than you've ever realised.
So, if you are feeling like you need to be inspired, if you're feeling stuck and you're unable to make some of the practical steps that I talk about and you are thinking ‘yeah, I know some of the things, the practical stuff we've talked about Kezia, but I don't seem to be able to do it or apply it or be able to apply anything consistently.’
Then this is the podcast for you. Make sure you listen to it. It's going to be so, so powerful.

So, how can you do less things, be less overwhelmed and less stressed out about your health and still actually make progress?
We often think about doing less. We think ‘yes, I could be less overwhelmed, I could be less stressed, but the cost of that is that my stomach doesn't actually change, my belly doesn't change, my energy doesn't change. I actually don't see those practical, tangible results.’ But that is not the case.
So, how do you do less things and keep making progress, and how do you really accelerate your progress?
Let’s say you're sitting here at the start of the year and you're just feeling tired, frumpy, burned out. You're too tired and overwhelmed to figure out where to begin. You suspect you've maybe got gut issues or maybe thyroid issues. You suspect there's some stuff going on. Maybe you've had test results, maybe you haven't. Maybe you've been told everything's fine and you're like looking down the barrel of this year and looking back maybe at the previous years and thinking ‘oh my goodness, I’ve felt like this for ages and it's not changed. I've tried to shift this and I haven't gotten to where I want to be.’
If you're already tired and burned out and a bit fatigued and overwhelmed, the idea of working on your health can feel like another overwhelming, fatiguing, tiring thing.
So, you're just thinking that you are stuck in a vicious circle that will never change (which I have felt before and that's why I want to do this Podcast)
You feeling good doesn't actually require you to do a bazillion things. It does require you to do a couple of things though and that's what I want to talk about in this episode: How do we do less and still make progress.

This mini episode has two main focuses. Number one is I wanna personally invite you to come and join me in the shift retreat, which is in a luxury in-person retreat happening in Scotland just outside of Edinburgh in March.
Until the end of January, I'm doing a SHIFT sale, so there's a discount on the retreat itself, there's also a 10 month payment plan option and all sorts of good stuff.
If you know you really want things to change and you've been really struggling to make a change on your own, you've been really struggling to make changes that last, changes that actually create results and change your symptoms.
Like if you've been really struggling, feel alone, want a like-minded community, need a break to get out of your usual habits and routines so that you can break them and create new, healthier habits and routines.
If you feel like you have zero time to work on your health and just no space to even create the thing that you, you really, really want, I want to invite you to the SHIFT retreat.
It's going to be an incredibly powerful experience of gathering in person. Also, as part of the SHIFT sale, you can also get access to a one-to-one program.
Which will happen between now and the retreat itself. We will work in a shorter one-to-one program. We'll have our consultations and then we will wrap up the program with the in-person retreat.
The second part of this episode is all about ‘What happens if nothing changes?’ So, in terms of the symptoms, if you think about how you feel right now. What if that doesn't change this year?

In this week's podcast, I'm going to be sharing the key foundation, if you want to see some shifts and changes in your gut, your IBS, in your bowels, in your bloating, in your periods, in your perimenopause or menopause symptoms, in your skin, in your mental health, your anxiety, your mood, and your energy.
Yep. All of those things can benefit from what I share in this episode.
It's also the mistake I see people make the most. They don't have this foundation. They don't know this, and therefore they just get busy doing all their healthy eating stuff, see results, get really disappointed and end up just diving headfirst into a tub of ice cream because they haven't got the right foundation.
This is such an important episode for the start of the year. Whatever change you're wanting to create in your health, you have to make sure that this foundation is in place.
And it's really a practice. It's not a one and done thing. I'll share with you some of the practical applications of it.
So, this is a really pivotal podcast that I know if you implement, you'll suddenly find that you see more results and you’ll see them quickly and you’ll see them with more ease.
Who doesn't want that?

This mini is inspired by a quote that I heard from writer Alex Elle, which said, ‘we've been conditioned and raised to abandon ourselves as an act of love and this is not a safe place to be.’
So, when it comes to your health, it's really important to realise that most of us have been raised, we've been conditioned, we've been given the message consciously and unconsciously, that the way we love people around us is to abandon who we are and what we need and our own bodies and our own preferences and just to not think about ourselves.
That's the ultimate act of love, of sacrifice, of mother-dom, of whatever is what we've been praised for.
I've seen it time and time again, when I look at my elders as it were, and I just see this pattern of burn out and go and burn out and go. We have actually been so deeply taught to abandon our health and to abandon how we feel.
We've been so conditioned and brainwashed into thinking that your energy doesn't matter. Your periods don't matter, the way you poop doesn't matter, your skin doesn't matter, the way you sleep doesn't matter and you can see how this is destroying women's health.
The best way that you mother, that you love other people, that you create an incredible relationship that you create social justice is by creating, connecting and being in a relationship with your body and knowing the tools and the practices (that will be unique to you) that actually help to steward and serve your body.

Welcome to today's podcast where I share the questions and the structure that I use to reflect on the lessons of the previous year and to plan my healthiest, most joyful, and fun year ahead.
So, I'm going to be sharing the questions that I've literally just been answering and how you can really set some intentions and set yourself up for success.
You can do this at any time of year, but now's a great time to do it. Every couple of months you can follow this process and check in because the way that you really transform your health and create some incredible stories (like the stories I share here about my clients who get rid of all their symptoms in a couple of month)
If you want to create your own version of that, it happens with some intention and by creating some sustainable and realistic shifts in your life.

This whole getting healthy and using food as medicine and this whole holistic approach can very easily become something that feels overwhelming. Like another thing to do on your to-do list and you can very easily feel like you don't have the head space. Where do you begin?
Eat meat, don't eat meat, eat gluten, don't eat gluten, eat this, don't eat this. Everything is very contradictory. So, where do you even begin if you're already tired, struggling, in pain, bloated, fatigued, burned out, having awful hormones and period or awful menopause, whatever it is.
So, let's cut some of the crap. This mini episode is about the three things that I would prioritize.
If you do nothing else for your health in the next six months, if you do these things, you will feel better. I repeat, you will feel better.
It might not mean everything in your life gets fixed overnight. Spoiler alerts… there's not really anything that does that. There is no magical one thing and every single health issue will go away. That's just not how it works.
That's why I work with my clients over four months because over four months it can change.
Listen to this mini episode where I share the three things that you can prioritize and implement these things on your own at home.

Today I want to give you some simple things to focus on. So, whether you are just wanting to get more energy or whether you are dealing with a really complex health history, where do you begin and what do you focus on?
I would argue that the place you want to begin is these two things. If you are already jumping to expensive supplements, but you haven't addressed these two things, it's a bit of a waste of time.
If you are, I don't know juicing celery to the high heavens every day, but you've not addressed these two things, or that celery juice isn't addressing these two things and helping with these two things, then it's a little bit pointless.
So, I really want to make sure that the effort and the time that you are putting in to your health and to your eating, whether that's a small amount of effort and focus, or whether it's a big priority of yours right now, whatever amount that you are putting in, you are getting a good result out.
It's a bit like, the fuel you put in the car or a machine, what you put in is what you’ll get out.
What I do as a Holistic Nutritionist is make sure that the effort, the time, the food that you put in, gives you big results coming out in terms of energy, health, all that sort of stuff.
And I have to say I've made mistakes with these before, especially one of them, which I'll share with you in this episode.

Today, I want to share with you my passion for detoxing, and I want share this because chances are that with the world that you have grown up in (I have grown up in anyway) is one where you've been brainwashed into dieting mentality and that “thin is best” culture and all of that toxic way of being and thinking.
It would be easy for me to just ditch the whole word ‘detox’ totally because it's linked with detox tea and laxatives and other weird things like that.
So, let's be honest, I am a geek. I love the body. I love science and the liver and your kidneys and your skin - The actual real practical science of detoxification is mind blowing.
This is something I'm going to talk about more because it's actually something I realised recently.
I do a lot of work with my clients around detoxification. It's a serious thing, not like from the point of view of ‘I’m on a detox so I can become a size four’ - No.
We want to look at it ‘I'm detoxing because I am supporting my body in a function it already does. I'm optimising. I'm supporting a system that my life relies on.’
So, let’s dive into this episode and talk about detoxing.

You are what you digest. That is the topic we're looking at today. So, before we dive into that, I just want to paint a little picture and see if this resonates with you.
If you listen to this podcast, you're obviously interested and mindful of your health and want to improve it and maintain it. You're aware that what you eat matters. You may have a couple of health issues going on and you may feel slightly unsatisfied at the kind of conventional root that you've been given or you want to add and supercharge the conventional approach with some holistic approaches and nutrition.
You know that what you eat is important. You have a bookshelf with some recipe books that are good. You may listen to other podcasts in the health space, and you feel like you've probably made some good changes to your diet.
You still feel tired. You still get bloated. You may still have hormonal issues. That change that you saw when you initially ditched gluten or sugar or whatever it is, was significant and amazing, but you've not really seen an overall full change.
But you still feel that kind of wading through treacle. That feeling which is all totally normal. This is a problem that I see a lot when I chat to clients about working with them. They come to me a little bit confused. They have seen improvement and they feel like they're eating relatively well, but they're still feeling a bit rubbish.
And the reason for this would be coming down to today's topic, which is ‘You are what you digest’

In this episode, I want to point out how often we take better care of our bathrooms or our cars or our iPhones than we do our body.
We often have a really logical response to the toilet being broken. You either have the knowledge and you fix it yourself, and you see that progress: The toilet was broken. Now it's fixed. Boom, great.
Or you will get help with figuring out what the root cause is. You don't just think, ‘Oh, maybe I'll put some bleach down the toilet’ - That's maybe the problem. No, you find out what the problem is.
But so often when it comes to our bodies and our health, we don't do that.
Which is when you realise it, you think that's very weird and really illogical. So many people that I work with are trying to fix their metaphorical bathroom when they don't have the skills.
They don't know what the problem is, and they've never had proper investigation work. Like they don't actually know what problem they're trying to solve.
And for some reason, (and we won't even go into all the potential reasons for why we have this really different response to our bodies.
If you are wanting to feel better in your body and you're struggling and you know there's a problem like bloating, gut issues, weird weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, awful hormonal symptoms, or skin issues.
These are all your “bathroom leaks” - There's a problem that's obvious. Maybe you have an autoimmune diagnosis, maybe you're getting stuff investigated just now, but you know there's a problem. You just don't know what's going on but so often people put effort into their diet, into their health and investing money or time, but they actually don't even know what the key problem or often key problems are.
So it's really time that we started to approach our bodies and our health, just like we would do our homes, just like you would do if your iPhone stopped working, you're not going to suddenly try and just fix your iPhone. You don't know how the iPhone works. You'll take it to someone, try and figure out what the problem was, and then get it fixed.
I think sometimes we get really overwhelmed by our bodies and albeit our bodies are far more complicated than an iPhone for sure, or a bathroom is more complex systems going on.
We often just get really overwhelmed and paralysed then don't take any action. Whereas if we can really apply this way of thinking and just realise that we need support to figure it out.
So I want to encourage you to think…
Am I treating my body as well as I treat other items in my home?
Am I treating my body with the same logic, the same strategy, and the same care?
Am I giving myself permission to feel better, to heal, to actually get support to know what the problem is?

I want to share some stories with you about two women, two different stories, two different continents and how this year they've gone from burnt out to thriving and feeling good.
I share these stories with you, because as we enter New Year, you might be listening to this in a slight like sugar, alcohol coma (which is fine by the way) but you might be thinking about the year ahead and thinking…
Oh, can I, do I get to feel better?
When do I get to feel better?
When will things change?
Maybe you wanted that for the current year, and it didn't happen.
So, I want to share these stories with you because there is hope, there is possibility if you are willing to do something different.
If you're willing to bet on yourself and invest in yourself and go for it, change is possible. You CAN go from burnt out to thriving.
You can create this totally new default relationship with food that is healthy and easy.
You can have energy.
You can have your brain turned back on and your body turned back on.
You can lose weight and you can enjoy your food.
You can do all the things that you want to do.

This episode is an invitation for you when it comes to thinking about food.
When it comes to food, every time that you eat something, think about it like you're giving your body some data - Like little data messages going into your body every time you eat something and depending on your food choices, on your unique body, what your body needs, what you need to support, what systems you need to bolster, maybe you need to boost your immune system.
Maybe you need to support your digestion and hormones. Maybe you need support for all of it like a lot of my clients. The food that you eat can really add to that.
It can give your body a message that's really supportive. It can add data, it can be a data input that's really going to help all your systems run more optimally and smoothly.
Or the data that you have, the food that you input can add extra strain and stress onto your body. So, it can be really helpful to think about what is the general input I'm giving? What is the general data message? Is it processed and adding burden onto my body? Or am I giving my body literal ingredients and data points that really help to reduce inflammation and create the kind of life that I want to live.
The reason we eat food is because your body needs certain vitamins and amino acids that it cannot create and cannot store itself. The food that you eat is so critical to your existence. So, it can be really helpful if you're struggling with your health to just really look at and become aware of your relationship to food.
Become aware of how much power it has and how powerful you are in that relationship because the food that you eat on a daily basis can either really drive the kind of life you want to live and really promote the kind of biology that you need to deal with.
Whatever health issues you have or the food that you can eat can add a whole other layer of burden and toxicity depending on what's going on and a really helpful way to look at that is to look at it like data.
What data's going into my body? What messages am I giving my body? How hard am I making things for my body? Or how much am I supporting my body with the food that I eat?

In this episode, we are going to be talking about some of the daily things that I do and that I get clients to do in order to help support their gut health, their digestion, to help prevent bloating, crazy toilet habits and all of that sort of stuff.
These are some quick and dirty digestion hacks and they're going to be 4 things that I do regularly and I feel like they can make a really big difference.
I really hope that this podcast really equips you to take action so that step by step you can create that healthy life that you want to live and that you CAN live.
So, after listening today, I encourage you to think about one thing (and it can be tiny) that you can implement.
These are four really actionable things but I also want to say that I have done a lot of deep work when it comes to my health and my clients and these 4 things wouldn't fundamentally shift the issues with IBS and things that I had. (The diarrhea, the depression, the anxiety, I had gut infections, I had parasites, I had heavy metal toxicity, I had lots of different thing so I needed to do much deeper work than these 4 things.
So, I want to put a caveat on this. If you've had horrendous digestive issues and we are talking about really bad bowels, really bad IBS, you feel like it's a big problem, then you probably need deeper work than this.
If you would like to book a call with me, we can chat about it further and I can give you some info and give you an outline of what your program might be in terms of working together.
But these things are really great things to do. The above doesn’t dismiss these factors at all.
If you are really struggling wherever you are at, whether you've got mild digestive issues, horrendous digestive issues or to that, even if you are actually looking on focusing on encouraging, encouraging, increasing your energy, all these things are a great idea as well.
Whatever your health goal is… If you're looking to balance your hormones, lose weight, improve your mental wellbeing etc, these 4 things can really help.
And why is that? Is because your gut health is foundational and fundamental for the rest of your body. It affects your immune system, your endocrine or your hormonal system, your skin, your mind.
So, it's really important. If you are thinking ‘No, Kezia, I don't really feel like I have that many digestive issues’ - These things WILL benefit your life.
If you support your gut health, you support the rest of your health

A quick thought for the day and a reminder to you.
What I've learnt after 6/7 years of working with clients and what I've realised is this, is that we have way more power and we can have way more impact than we can ever realise, and we currently realise, or ever been told.
Often, when it comes to our health, what we're taught growing up, what I was taught growing up is that you give your power and authority for your body and health to somebody else who's better trained and there is some wisdom in that but what we know now and what I know from just working with clients and from seeing their transformation but also what we can see in the data is that when you look at nutritional science, when you look at
- lifestyle changes
- whole person approaches and functional medicine
- someone's whole life
- the regular choices, the day-to-day things
- what you eat on a day-to-day basis
- how well you sleep
- how you deal with stress management
- community relationships
- the environment in which you live in
- toxin exposure (and there's even research coming in about EMFs and all those kinds of things)
Those things have a massive impact and those are all things that we have a choice over.

Let's talk about digestion. What I'm going to be looking at is giving you a good overview of what digestion is and also like the secrets to good digestion.
So what are the basics to having really optimal and also why that's even important.
Because it's a fundamental part of the practice that I do with clients because it makes a really big difference if their digestion is off.
Now, the first thing to note about digestion is this isn't only applicable to you if you have digestive issues. So, maybe you are listening to this if you have IBS or you look really bloated at the end of the day and you would kind of, you know, you might be thinking that you need to work on your digestion.
But even if, for example, you have an autoimmune issue, actually, then what we really need to work on is digestion.
Maybe you have skin issues, maybe it's acne, psoriasis, eczema, random rashes, or skin infections. Again, we need to really look at digestion and digestive function.
Whatever kind of issue you're facing, digestion is a really, really important part of our wellbeing as human beings, because the point of digestion is to take and extract nutrients and certain kind of compounds in order to use them in the body.
You need to support your digestion and it could be causing you problems even if you don't have digestive symptoms. So with all my clients, we'll always support the digestive process, even if the main reason they're coming to me is because they have really bad eczema, for example.
Then we'll still look at optimizing digestion. So, I just want to make that really, really clear from the get go. But what I really wanna look at in this episode is just getting super specific about ways that you can really optimize your digestion and looking at some of the basic functions of this thing called digestion that we need to make sure is working well and the practical things you can do.
I've got six different points to go through and so by the end of this podcast, you should have a really clear idea of what might be going wrong with your digestion, if you suspect that, and also ways that you can really support it.

I wanna share some thoughts for anybody that has made a human being in their body and And I just wanna remind you of a couple of things because as a holistic nutritionist, I see lots of patterns, work with lots of people, and I just have a couple of reflections offerings to give to you for you to reflect on specifically if you have ever made a human being in your body and been pregnant.
Pregnancy and the act of creating a human being who has never existed before in your body and consuming, growing, hosting, birthing, and then potentially sustaining if you are able to or choose to. Breastfeed is a massively depleting process and the more children you have, the more compounding depletions you can create and culturally, I see this all the time with my clients, is that having children, whilst it's something they maybe chose and brings them joy and is of really positive things in lots of ways, is actually a massive trigger and sometimes mediating factor for their health issues.
Creating, making, birthing and sustaining children is a massive, massive use of energy but we have this ‘bounce back’ culture, which is total BS and I think most of us don't realise how big a deal creating a new human body who has never existed before.
As much as we love our babies, they do act like parasites. They need calcium, they'll take it from your bones, they will take all your reserves physically in terms of your vitamins, nutrients, reserves. Then emotionally, whatever reserves you have left, they will take and then when they arrive, there's no recovery, it's sleep deprivation, it's feeding issues, etc. As they get older, then the challenges shift, but it's still challenging.
Now, this isn't to complain. Like I went into motherhood eyes as wide open as they could be. I knew it was gonna be one of the most challenging testing periods of my entire life, and it definitely has been.
But the thing we forget is sometimes, and this often means we go around wondering why we feel unwell, why we're tired, why our thyroid's gone, why we're bloated, why our gut health is awful, why we're depressed, why we're anxious and we fail to acknowledge the massive output that we have and often continually give to our children.
And if you have ever had children, it's really important wherever you're at now (I work on this with clients like seven years after they've had kids) is that you have periods of time where you intentionally replenish, where you nourish, where you replete those nutrients that have gone where you replete that sleep deprivation where you add back in and for each child that you have had.
So if you had four kids, how much chunks of time have you deliberately, intentionally had where you have replenished your sleep, replenished your nutrients, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, where you have gone in and done any work within your mind that might have come up with a traumatic birth or whatever. All that stuff that can come up. (Your psychology)
Have you done that intentional healing, replenishing time? Most people haven't and then it compounds and as they go on, they get sicker, more tired, more anxious, more depressed, their thyroid goes, the belly goes until they reach crisis point.
So, I just want to encourage you. First of all, making human is a massive deal. It's incredible. Hopefully it's something you chose to do, but we've gotta give ourselves some compassion of how depleting that is.
The next thing is, have you intentionally had long periods of time? I would argue as long as it took to grow, said humans.
So thinking about nine to 10 months of intentional impact on your whole system, your gut, your hormones, your detoxing, your nutrients, your vitamins, your minerals, your psychology, your sleep.
Have you done that? And you might immediately think, ‘Kezia, what planet are you on? I'm looking after a tiny child.’ Like doing this stuff is just a luxury and I would argue that: No, that's not a luxury. That is brainwashing that we have had as mothers, that we are to be Martyrs, left on the altar for our children.
And culturally, we're not given permission and sometimes we also just don't know how. So, that's what I help a lot of people with but I just want to encourage you to look after yourself, acknowledge the massive, massive contribution and creation that you have done.
So, I challenge you: Have you replenished? Have you replenished from having kids?

Hello and welcome to The Gut Goddess Show. I have an incredible episode for you today that is going to inspire and equip you to be as well as healthy, as energised as you can be.
This episode is going to help your gut microbiome, your relationship with food and help you balance your hormones and improve your energy, all while inspiring you, motivating you, and also letting you know you're not in this alone. I'm right here with you. I've got you.
So, before I dive into the five principles and foundations about how to eat and how to eat like a gut goddess, how to eat in a different way, I bet you can look at your bookshelf or your recipe shelf and look at all the different ways you've been told to eat, all the different diets, all the different formulas, all the different kinds of methods to eat but actually what I'm going to be doing today is sharing something a bit different. It's probably not stuff that you've heard before.
It's probably not an approach you have heard a lot about and what I'm going to be talking about is how to eat in a way that really heals your body.
I really approach food from a couple of different angles. I love eating and I love eating food. I think it's fun. I think it's a great way of building community and relationships. It's a great way to celebrate. It's a great way to comfort. It's a great way to have fun. Food is fun. I love eating food. I'm not going to be one of these people that just eats protein shakes for the rest of my life because I love a good bowl of meatballs or tomato soup or whatever it is.
So food is fun. It's a great way to build community love and connection, but it can also be really healing and I do believe it's part of our kind of spiritual act here in the world. It can be a way to really nourish and heal ourselves and our minds and our lives.
Eating is really one of those key foundations that can propel us into our dream health and our dream life and all the things that we've created on this earth to do or it's something that can take away from what we want. It can make our life. Eating in a way that's not helpful, can actually diminish our dreams, can mean we're less able, to have the energy to do all the things that we want to do.
So, that is how I approach food. I approach it with joy, with love, with celebration. I approach it with the knowledge that it's healing, that it's actually something I can do every day to heal and build myself up towards the dreams that I want to live.

You being well means you shine bright. You being well means you are no longer in victim and survival mode. You shift into thriving and you role model that for the next generation.

This week in the podcast, we are looking at the 10 things that I wish I had been told about my health and my body.
Things that I wish I had been told when I was growing up, or even just a decade ago as a young adult and I'm sharing them with you because something my clients say to me all the time is, why did no one tell me this? Why didn't I know this?
I have clients that are retired, and they're like, I didn't know this. I didn't know this about my hormones. I didn't know this about my body. I didn't know this about the food that I eat.
So, I want to save you that thought, and go through all the different things that I think we should all know about our bodies, about our health, and I think this is going to be a really inspiring episode for you.
It might also be a bit of a kick up the butt, but that I'm okay with that. We need a bit of both. We sometimes need a bit of encouragement in the right direction and some inspiration all at the same time.

If you have ever felt like your body and your health has been hard and difficult to work on, I just want to let you know that if you have a female body, then the female body being healthy and good, and well actually hasn't been something that has been valued, prioritised, or promoted in our Western culture for a really, really long time.
So, we inadvertently get trained and unconsciously told and have done since we were little, that how we feel doesn't matter, that our bodies as females aren't our own and that actually the safest thing to do is to potentially disconnect from our physicality because it's dangerous and it's not ours to own anyway. So there's nothing we can do about it.
If you then add into that the medical bias and the lack of data that we've had, the lack of investment in research into medical treatments and all of that stuff for specifically females, if you add into that the assumption that women are just small men medically speaking, you can then begin to build a picture and understand and then have so much compassion for yourself and for your body.
So many of the people that I work with find their relationship with their body and their health really hard, and then they can quickly jump to blaming themselves for that or their lack of self control or willpower or like some personal failing.
I just wanna gently remind you and offer you this other option of thought that is the system has actually been rigged against you for a really, really long time.
Systems, structures, thought patterns, paradigms have actually created an environment that probably has made it really hard for you in a female body to be well, to have a healthy relationship with your body, to be connected to your physicality, to know and understand.
Take your periods, for example, growing up, that was such a shameful thing. You used to hide that you wouldn't tell anyone about it, and therefore, what we shame we don't learn about.
So many women don't really even know about their own biology, their own cycle. Just using that as an example because it's been so gross and shameful and something to hide when actually it's something that the entire human race depends on. (But that's a whole other topic)
So, I hope this thought has been helpful. I hope that this gives you some permission to just be a bit more compassionate to yourself.
You've been doing the best job you can. You've been doing the best job with the tools that you've been given, and the reason that things have been hard is not necessarily a personal failing. It probably isn't. You've gotta look at the bigger context of everything that's been in our world and the structures that we have influencing us.
So, I hope that gives you hope, and I just encourage you to just be a bit kinder to yourself today.
And a really great way to counteract this is to actually really learn to celebrate yourself and the areas of progress that you make instead of thinking about everything you haven't done. Really think about what you have done and celebrate that.

So, you need to do this one thing if you want to see some lasting shifts in your body composition, in weight loss, or in any other area of your health.
If you want to see some big, easy, sustainable, and lasting shifts in your body composition or in your gut health or in your skin or in your hormonal health, this is something that you need to adopt and it will change everything for you.
It'll actually make the whole process feel easier and just stop you being stuck in this vicious cycle of on, off, on, off, and will actually help you to just see some sustainable results.
And I'm going to be sharing with you a little bit more about some of the key takeaways of my own recent weight loss process. I had twins last year and gained a lot of weight with them as you would, and have been gently, very gently working on my own body composition and weight loss.
And I want to share with you some of the bigger picture, the higher level strategies that I've been applying that have made that possible in the business of life.
Even the other day, I was thinking, ‘oh my goodness. Yeah, I'm totally at the weight I want to be now. Oh, that happened, awesome' and it didn't feel like a big deal. I'm going to share with you how you can apply those same things to make it easier and simpler for you, which sounds pretty good, right?

For many people, this has been a bit of a revelation, and it's just a really simple idea that how you feel every single day, how your body feels, how your mental health is, your motivation, the food habits you have, the way you honor your body with food, the way you move or don't move.
All of these things, that are just part of our day to day, are actually our lives. The way that you feel on a day to day basis is actually the very thing that is your life that makes up your whole life.
So, what I mean by this is so often people just keep putting off, dealing with their health or their food habits or whatever it is for some other point in their life - when they think everything, or will maybe be ready or sorted or something.
Whereas actually, we kind of put things off to the future without realizing that it sounds odd and very simple to say, but your life is right now in this moment, and for so many people I work with, they tolerate feeling awful for so long that when we suddenly work together and they make loads of progress, they suddenly realize, ‘Oh my goodness, I spent 10 years of my life tolerating all of these things and kept pushing it forward, pushing it forward, push to some time in the future when they have more money or when they have more time.
When the kids are older. When, then, when, then, when, then. Whereas your health and your body is your life.

This week on the podcast, I'm sharing with you the three things that I do that make eating healthy and my relationship with food and working on my health so much easier.
They take away the overwhelm, the sense of hardness and difficulty, and just make this whole journey so much lighter, easier, and more effortless.
Because one of the things that holds people back is the idea that thinking about improving their gut, their hormones, their skin, working on their specific diagnoses or health conditions just feels like another massive project or task on their to-do list, and they're already like tapped out.
So, I'm sharing the three things that I implement regularly that make working on my health and me becoming the healthiest version I can be so much easier.

The thought I have for you as part of this mini episode is that no one can do this for you, when it comes to your gut, your hormones, your relationship with your body, your relationship with food and your energy or whatever diagnosis you're looking at, or your skin or your gut microbiome or your IBS, no one can sort that but you.
Yes, you know, my whole job is supporting people through that, so you can get support, but this is something that you have to DECIDE.
And I know for me, for a long time, or when I first realized this, it wasn't a conscious thought I had, but there was this unconscious thought that hopefully there I would stumble across some magic, fix some one thing, one supplement, one medication, one thing that would just like fix everything for me.
And the reality is that's very rarely the case. I needed to take responsibility for my whole self. Only you can decide that this is worth it, that you feeling good and being well is worth it.

This week we are talking about why gut microbiome tests are game changers and why I get all of my clients to take scoops of their own poo, send them off to a lab so that we can get data.
This episode is a deep dive into why stool tests are one of my most common live tests that I run with clients and why that's a game changer.
Why getting this type of data can really accelerate your progress and mean that even if you've been struggling with stuff for maybe a decade (which a lot of my clients have) - when you gather the right types of data and know what they mean and what to do about them, you can see results within a couple of weeks or within a couple of months, despite having struggled for years.

In this mini episode, I’m sharing some thoughts on this thing that we call ‘body love’ and loving all aspects of your body.
After working with a lot of women, I have found that often going from frustration and hate and disappointment and trauma with your body, making that jump to body love, it's like way too big. It's like a bungee jump. Some people wanna do it. A lot of people are like, ‘No, thank you’.
If you know you have a toxic relationship with your body and you know there's dieting, there's harshness, there's unkindness…or another way of thinking about it is: Are you a bully to your body? Are you harsh, mean, critical? Always picking on the flaws, always pointing out the squidgy bits, the fat bits, whatever.
If that is the relationship you've had with your body and you want to shift it, it can be really helpful, instead of jumping from like A to B or doing this massive bungee jump to try and get to body positivity or body love to actually just aim for appreciation and maybe even just neutrality.
So, it could be that you're not necessarily saying that you start doing affirmations about how much you love the cellulite on your legs, but you might just really start to appreciate your heartbeat and the fact that it beats and you don't do anything about that. You don't make it happen. You don't force it to happen and it just beats, maybe you appreciate your lungs, expanding, contracting, expanding, contracting. Maybe you think about your toes and how they help balance your feet. Maybe you think about your skin and how awesome it is.
Yet maybe it has blemishes, maybe it has scars, but it contains you, it protects you. Maybe you want to think about your hair or your sight or your nose.
Really do a deep dive, just a scan of how you can appreciate your body a little bit more and then instead of jumping to, ‘I love my body’ thoughts, think about more neutralised thoughts like: I appreciate my body / I have a body /I'm learning to acknowledge my body / I'm learning to respect my body with the choices and food that I eat.
You don't have to go from, ‘I hate this' to ‘I love it, everything's fine, I love everything about it’
But a great middle ground while you shift your relationship with food is appreciating your body and I honestly guarantee as you appreciate your body more, the way you treat it will naturally improve, the choices you make will change because with appreciation over time comes building respect and with respect comes different choices.
When you're bingey and criticizing yourself, there's no respect going on for your body, for your temple, for your vessel but as you cultivate appreciation, you cultivate all the ways that your body gives to you. And yes, there's maybe stuff to work on and that's okay, but you can actually focus on all the ways that your body serves you. You can appreciate that and hopefully build some respect.
Respect for your body is actually incredible and that can take you so far and completely transform your relationship with food and relationship with your health.
You don't have to unconditionally love every aspect of your flesh, but we can appreciate it, we can respect it. And therefore when we respect and appreciate something, we honour it with our choices and actions.

This week on the podcast, we are looking at how history has set your brain up to fail when it comes to you having a well healthy, energised, balanced, awesome body relationship with food and wellbeing.
I really think that your awareness of this, awareness of history and your mindset and the psychology and some of the things that you may be consciously aware of in the day to day will really help you to have a more compassion towards your body and your health, which will then help you to make more progress and see results with more speed and ease.
So, often people that I work with beat themselves up and take their current situation, their current symptoms, health diagnosis, the current area of struggle that they find themselves in, and they just blame it on a personal failing, their lack of discipline, their lack of self-control, their sugar addiction, etc.
It can be really helpful sometimes to become aware of the context of your body and life and health choices because you will see the most and biggest and most easy to sustain results when it comes to your health, when it comes from a place of compassion.
If you try to bully and criticize and push your way into balanced hormones and a better body composition and improved gut health and no more IBS and a better improved mood and all these things. If you try and push that, you might see results for a short period of time, but you're not going to see that effortlessly healthy lifestyle that you probably want.
So, that is what we're diving into today. I am recording this on Halloween, which is fun, and it's going to be a bit of a Samhain/Halloween themed podcast because of some of the history that I'm sharing. I hope you enjoy!

As part of our, Your Body is a Temple Series, we are diving into sleep today because sleep, if you really take the approach that I'm gonna share with you today is one of your secret weapons to getting the results that you want in your hormones, in your body composition, in your gut health, in your belly, in your energy, in your mental health, in all those areas with more speed and ease.
And it actually has very little to do with food, but this is something you can focus on even if you feel like your relationship with food is rather fraught or you're maybe working on a really disordered approach to food.
This is something that you can focus on that's gonna give you results, which is awesome.
I'm going to be sharing some of my own journey with sleep. For those of you that don't know, last year, I had twins, and I had a two year old and so, you know, sleep, as with a lot of parents with young kids, is something that is a discussion that I have every day at my house.
So, I have learned so much about sleep since having kids because I have really focused on how I can optimise my sleep in order to support my brain health and my mental health, especially in that postpartum time. I've really focused on this since my son was born, so for the last four years, I have been on it, in terms of how I can hack my sleep, and I'm going to share some of those things with you today.

You might not think this has anything to do with your bloating, your hormones, your energy levels, or your belly, but learning how to feel your feelings is potentially the thing that is gonna unlock.
This week we are talking about something that is really important and this could be something that's potentially getting in the way and stopping you from seeing the results you wanna see.
It could be making your gut, or hormones worse, it could be draining your energy, it could be getting in the way of you sorting out your belly.
What are we talking about?
Feeling your feelings.
So, in this episode, I'm going to dive into why flowing through and expressing or processing your emotions and your feelings, especially the more uncomfortable ones, is really important in order for you to heal and repair your body.
I know that if you're anything like me, you might be a little bit cynical and be like, ‘what has this got to do with my below tank Kezia?’
But I assure you it has everything to do with it, and it could be the reason you're not seeing results.
I'm going to explain the actual biological process and also give you some tools/my two-step process in terms of helping you feel your feelings.
So, this is gonna be a juicy episode. Enjoy! I know this might be a little bit different. We're not talking about prebiotics and gut bacteria and the microbiome and fungi and viral things etc… but this actually really does make a difference and for about 80% of my clients, this plays a huge role.

If you are anything like me, you've been told that this specific thing that I'm gonna share about in this podcast is your job to do, your role to fulfil, your thing to manage.
I'm here to tell you, it's not. It's not your job. You don't have to do it.
If you are doing it, it's probably derailing your health results. It's probably getting in the way and keeping you stuck.
This is a message that I got and I literally just had to stop what I was doing and record this podcast cuz it felt like something that just needed to come through.
It's a little bit more to do with some of our brain conditioning and our mindset and some of the beliefs that we have and it's something that I have had a revelation of about my own brain and my own conditioning recently. It’s really powerful when you see the threads of this in your life and how it's then impacting your health.
You can suddenly have a lot more compassion on yourself for maybe not having made the progress you've wanted to have made and also just helps you to see and understand that this is why stuff can feel hard.
It can be the reason why I can feel afraid or anxious or get really stuck or constantly self sabotage or always get in my own way or when I look back the last several years and feel like I've made no progress in terms of my relationship with food, my relationship with my body.
This could be why and you might feel like it resonates with you like a 100% percent, 80%, maybe 60% or maybe even just 10%. I'm pretty sure if you listen to this podcast often, there's a part of this message that will resonate with you and will be an invitation for you to go deeper.

This week we are talking about how trauma and traumatic experiences can massively derail your physical health and what your bloating, autoimmune issues, diagnosis and skin issues have to do with traumatic experiences and of course what you can do about it.
I'm going to be sharing some of my own journey with this. So, it's going to be a bit more of a vulnerable podcast.
I'm going to be sharing some of what I've been going through for the last four years and what that's looked like and really just my experience with this both from myself and also with my clients.
Just so that you can be aware and know that you really are, one being and one body. How these traumatic experiences (which I'll explain more about what that means) really can impact you and potentially be the root cause of some of those annoying symptoms that just won't disappear.

So, what is the secret to big results? What is the secret behind my client's big transformation stories?
What allows people to see more results with more speed and more ease?
I'll tell you.. It is regulating your nervous system and learning how to do it and I know that doesn't sound sexy, but honestly, when you get this, everything changes and becomes easier and you just start to feel better.
Learning to regulate your nervous system is something that I do as a holistic nutritionist, but is really unique to my practice and is so foundational. What you eat matters, but if your nervous system is chronically stressed, if you are in a chronic, sympathetic nervous state, you won't see the results you want to see.
So, I'm talking about how we do that and what that looks like because when you get this, everything changes.
This is an area that for me has been big. It's been hard to do and I'm constantly working on it.
But honestly, when I changed this, everything changed.

We are kicking off a new series and this series is going to be exciting!
I'm going to share both the science and the sacred practices that are going to transform your health and give you results with more speed and more ease.
It's all about your body being a temple and blending the science and this holistic approach to your body.
Your body is a temple. Well, is it, is it really? And what does that actually mean? What does that look like on a Monday morning?
This is something I do really naturally and I'm really good at, but I know from working with so many people that a lot of the time we might have this idea that our body is a temple, but really we have no practical grounding for that. We don't know how to ground that into daily practical action.
I could also call this series the how to sort out your nervous system series because essentially that is a little bit of what we're talking about, but I'm gonna be sharing some of my more personal and vulnerable stories and look at what I know to be true.
And that is that your body is a temple. It is divine. It's not just flesh and bone. There's mind, body, soul, and yes, the food that you eat matters, but the reason you make those food choices is:
- because of these soul connections.
- because of these beliefs.
- because of these thoughts about how valuable and how precious your life is.
- because you know your uniqueness and you can own that.
You know the role that you have here and you know that you're precious and that you're cared for and worthy. So, of course, you're going to eat in a way that aligns with that.
That is a really different approach to ‘I really shouldn't eat gluten’
You know? Do you feel how different the energy is? Kezia said ‘I shouldn't eat sugar’ versus ‘I am a temple. I have been filled with creative life and spirit and soul’ (whatever your beliefs or religious beliefs or non religious beliefs are, are all welcome here.).
‘I am this precious divine child of God, here uniquely on this earth at this time to be and do unique and glorious and beautiful and simple and small things.’
Of course, I'm gonna make food choices based on that. Of course, I'm going to eat in a way that supports that. It's a really different approach.
— — —
I have decided that I'll be running an in person luxury Scottish retreat at the end of this year in probably in November (I'm still ironing out the details)
It's going to be called ‘The SHIFT Retreat’
It will be a really small intimate, powerful group, with completely homemade organic food. It will be about the integration of this way of looking at a whole person approach of this science and the holistic approach and the sacred approach and the practices.
It's gonna be really exciting. I know a couple of you are interested already, so, if you're interested and want to get on the waitlist, you can do that at keziahall.com/wait

Why despite your best efforts and a healthy-ish life is stuff not working? Why are you not seeing results? Why are you feeling stuck?
Why are you unable to take consistent action? Why are your symptoms getting worse, not better, even though you're putting in the effort, the time, the energy? Even though you kind of have a healthy-ish kind of life?
What is going on?
We are going to talk about why stuff you've been doing isn't working, why you aren't making progress and what will work.
So a lot of the time people are really stuck. They're not making the progress they want to see and they're actually putting in the effort or on paper they look like they have a pretty healthy-ish life, yet they feel worse or they feel like they're making zero progress.
I'm going share with you the four reasons for why you're not making progress, why you aren't seeing results, why stuff isn't working, why you feel sick and what will work for you.
So, this is a really important one. I know that one of these four reasons is going to resonate with you, so, have a listen, figure out which one applies to you and just become aware of what actually could be one of your root causes.

Life feels busy and you feel tired and fatigued and fed up, but you want to see changes in your health and in your energy and your hormones and your belly and your skin.
But you're also feeling like you don't have time. You don't know how to fit this in and you already feel overwhelmed at just your day to day existence.
How on earth do I transform? How on earth do I work on my health if I'm already tired and exhausted?
I'm going to share with you my unique approach that I apply to all my clients and that I apply to my own life as someone who has a lot going on.
So, let's dive into the episode.

In this week's episode, I'm talking about how to deal with low motivation, feeling sluggish and tired and this tension that happens when you really want something and you really are clear on the goal that you have yet, you cannot seem to do anything to actually get there or maintain anything.
Then you just end up in this cyclical dieting loop knowing what you want but, but it's all very on and off.
Specifically with this client's story that I'm sharing with you today, we're looking at body fat, body recomposition and low motivation and we're also talking about man, Ooh, whoa. Let's dive in.

Today, we are talking about what happens when you actually do eat a really healthy whole food diet and you're trying to exercise, you're aware of mindfulness, you eat, when you keep a food diary, it kind of looks not perfect, but pretty good yet your symptoms are getting worse.
In this case study, this particular client's eczema was getting worse and worse.
She was getting more and more tired, she was still having gut issues, she had anxiety but she was eating probably healthier than most people around her.
So, what's the deal?
This is a common problem and this is really where a holistic approach shines because the food that you eat is super important
I'm a nutritionist and yes, if you work with me, we're going to implement nutritional science because food is so powerful, but it is not the only answer. Your body is a complex system.
It's an ecosystem with lots of stuff going on and the food that you eat is a massive input, but actually it's not just about what you eat.
- It's about what you digest.
- It's about your nervous system.
- It's about your sleep quality.
- It's about your nutrient status.
These things all play a role.
So, yes, food is super important, but you can still be struggling, your symptoms can be getting worse, you could be feeling terrible, but still eating whatever you think is a healthy diet and following healthy guidelines.
Or you might be eating healthy whole foods, but it's not healthy for you.
You might be eating a healthy whole food, plant-based diet, and it's making you sick.
You might be eating a whole food, Ketogenic diet and it might be making you sicker because this isn't about applying a formula or whatever formula is the most popular/most blogged about or Instagrammed about.
It isn't what's going to help you see results.
What is going to help you see results is figuring out how to eat in a way that serves you, your body, your biology, your life, your gut health, your hormones, your genetics, and that is something that you're not going to find on a Google search.
So, that's what we're diving into in this episode. I hope you're enjoying these stories. The reason I'm sharing these with you is because these are stories of hope.
There is often this assumption that in order to create change in your health/body and to feel good that you have to muster up loads of energy, self-control and self-discipline and that you have to change everything / It's this massive project / It's a complete overhaul / It's all or nothing. But all of that is total BS.
You don't need loads of self control.
You don't need to overhaul every single item in your life.
Sometimes with some clients, we do overhaul a lot, depending on where they're at. For example, I've had clients come to me that basically eat sugar and alcohol and carbs. That's their diet so for them it is a big overhaul.
We’ll introduce protein, deal with the sugar addiction, and address alcohol consumption.
But most of the people I work with, we're not totally overhauling their diet.
Whereas most of the time we actually make little tweaks here and there that can just make the world of difference,
When you are strategic and you know what the key problems are, you actually can do less stuff, take less action yet, see more results than you've seen in the past year, 2 years, 3 years or 10 years, because the action you are taking is really articulate and it's actually solving the right problem.

Today, on the podcast, we are talking poop and bowel incontinence, constant daily reflux and embarrassing wind.
This is part two of my case study series and I'm talking about a specific client who had a whole lot of stuff going on but on paper actually had a really healthy lifestyle, ate really well and had drawers full of supplements. They felt embarrassed and really limited and came to me after trying a million different things and working with a lot of different people and having already done a lot of tests.
During our 3-4 month program together, she saw incredible progress. She was hoping things would improve, but she didn't expect stuff to just resolve itself completely.
I'm going to dive into why that is, what was different about her approach, what she did and about the strategy I applied so that you can do the same in your own life.
Like why was it that she made progress and, and also why wasn't this really healthy lifestyle that she was living?
I’ll look at why this healthy lifestyle wasn’t helping and why she wasn’t making progress? Because I know from talking with lots of you and my clients that you aren't sitting there eating donuts all day, or putting 10 spoonfuls of sugar in your tea or deep frying everything - You probably eat a whole food-ish diet and you probably know people that eat more unhealthily than you do yet, you are the one who feels like you're having symptoms than them and struggling with your health.
I remember feeling like that years ago and wondering why I was the one that felt awful when I had so many friends that eat utter crap all the time and they're doing fine yet, there I was trying to be healthy but I was the one who felt worse. It's a very frustrating place to be and this was the same for this client.
So, let’s dive in.

In today's episode, we are going to be looking at how you deal with chronic pain, anxiety, awful periods, bad sleep, even when everything is “normal” and even when you've done all the tests and no one can figure out what's wrong with you.
We are diving into the beginning of a new series over the next month or so where I dive into one of my client case studies. I'm going to be sharing what we did, what actions they took, what actually helped them, so that you can gain some real, actionable, tangible information from what we did with them, because some of what applied to them may apply to you.
You will hear more about what a holistic process looks like so that you can have hope and you can actually see that there is something else available for you.
Even just in the last few weeks, I have had two conversations with new clients where they ended our first session together and they said ‘oh my goodness. I have so much more hope now and I just feel like I'm not going to be stuck feeling awful’ - So often we are so used to tolerating feeling rubbish.
For example, if you've got low energy and IBS issues and you have that on a day-to-day basis, that becomes your normal. So, it's almost like we can't even imagine that changing and we don't even want to sometimes because it's too disappointing because we think that the change might not happen.
So, I want to share these stories in this series with you because they're all really different people, at really different stages of their lives - ages, genders and health issues and they all realised that they don't want to keep feeling like this and that they do have more power than they realise.
They came and worked with me and I've seen phenomenal shifts. All of these people also were hesitant about working with me from a cost perspective and all of them have said that it was totally worth the investment in terms of money and time.
I know that I personally love to hear real life stories and it's also easy for you to listen to this podcast and think that it isn’t going to work for you but if you can actually hear some totally different real people with real s**t going on in their lives and actually how they, without being perfect, without needing to do all the things they saw change and transformation.
I know that this will give you hope! I also want to gently shake up your perspective on this. Things CAN change. This is your one precious, beautiful, glorious life and you deserve to feel good!
Today I'l be talking about a client who was in chronic pain, had lots of anxiety, poor sleep, awful periods, lots of stress and just a lot going on.
She deserves to feel good, you know? And she knew that she didn't always know that, but she became aware that this was her one life - She didn't want to be anxious, in pain and saying no to everything, not doing anything and having zero confidence.
I want to just give a gentle Kezia-like shake, kick up the bum in a highly empathetic, understanding fashion.
I really get how hard this is and I really hope that you feel my heart. There's never any judgment here.

Today, I have a real treat in store for you - We have session 5 with Jess. These sessions have all been recorded for the podcast so make sure you go and check those out too.
In this session, we talked about how to reduce inflammation, how to support her thyroid, what her CGM, her continuous blood glucose monitor results may mean, how we can support her digestion and how we can get her some more quick wins.
She's also sharing some of the progress that she's seen in her own hormones and other good stuff. So, this is a really juicy one.
I really want to share this with you again, to demystify this holistic approach and to really show you the value of what I do or what other nutritionists and nutritional therapists do, because I guess that this whole process can feel a bit foreign. I want to show you how quickly you can see results and why the support in that direction makes a big difference.
Also, you're going to learn some great, actionable, practical things that you can take away about supporting your thyroid, digestion and insulin management. With Jess, I give her action points so you can totally steal those and see how they can help support you and your health.

Welcome to this week's episode where I am talking about my latest gut microbiome test results and walking you through why I ran this test, what the test is, what it means, what my results are and what I'm doing about it.
I talk about the gut microbiome all the time on the podcast because it's so foundational. This episode is a deep dive into your gut microbiome and a practical approach to what you can actually do about it.
I'm spilling all the beans of what practical steps you can take and how we can gather information and be really empowered about our gut health because the better your gut microbiome is, the better your immune system, hormone balance, your skin, sleep, mental health, mood and cognitive function and performance will be. I could go on and on with this list.
In the last 30 years, the research on the gut microbiome has been really in-depth so we know so much more than we used to, but we actually don't know how to apply it because this is new (ish) in terms of what we know about the body.
So, I want to share with you all the information about my gut microbiome and the stool test that I ran recently (lucky you) and what it means.
There's some good stuff and there's some ugly stuff going on which is why I ran this test in the first place - You might think, okay, this is the nutritionist talking, she runs the Gut Goddess Show, her gut microbiome must be amazing It's not but it's better than it used to be.
I can tell you that the gut microbiome is like a garden. It requires tending to. When you have the right information, it's actually really simple. - At the end of this episode, I'll share my action plan with you.
The reason I am sharing this is because I know that if you can improve your gut microbiome, everyone benefits. You benefit, your systems benefit, from a preventative perspective your longevity benefits. Other people benefit because it affects your mood. It affects your brain. It affects your mental health.
You feeling better. You optimising and improving the things that you can influence and impact is obviously an incredible benefit to you. It's also a gift and an active service to those around you.
Most of the time, people would never want to invest in private tests like this because there's not tests available in the NHS, in the UK or are always done privately (So, you need to pay for them) Most people would never invest because they think it’s unnecessary, or it feels selfish to improve their health, or it feels uncomfortable.
But when you actually realise that you, the state of your brain, health, body, systems, hormones really obviously affects you, but it also affects everyone around you, investing your money and your time into your health actually becomes the least selfish thing you can do.
It's actually a really wise investment.
So, if you do one thing to work on your health in the next year, work on your gut microbiome and your insulin management. Those are actually two key foundational things for you to feel good now, in terms of impacting your mental health, your hormones, your skin, your sleep, but also from a preventative perspective, because yes, I want you to feel good now, but I also want to feel really good when you're 80.
I want you to be like that granny, who's gardening and doing yoga in her garden. Someone who is a really well, older person.
If you want to know more about this and you want to dive deep into your gut health, but you're not ready to work with me one-on-one, you can still sign up for my summer workshops and you'll get access to my gut health workshop and hormone workshop.
If you sign up for the bundle you’ll get all of the workshops for £33. I will be reselling these later on as a program / course at a much higher price.
As of recording this, there's still the Energised workshop to run, and I'm also doing one on body composition. You can sign up for these workshops here.
If you feel like you don't know what's going on with your health and you have been trying, have tried different things and you've made an effort but you're not seeing any results or think things are getting worse, chances are you need some personalised support. As of recording this, I still have two spaces left for my summer retreat.
This is an incredible opportunity for you to work with me privately one-on-one in July and August.
They're completely bespoke, private, personalised one-to-one sessions at a fraction of the cost of my usual programs where we can really kickstart your progress.
We’ll dive in deep. I do all the data gathering and research. We figure out what's going on. What's your symptoms mean.
These are only available. I'm only running these in July and August of 2022.
I would love to work with you if you're on the fence, if you have been struggling, if your symptoms are getting worse, if you're trying hard and not getting anywhere, if you know that you want to finish up this year, feeling better, having made actual, tangible progress and seeing shifts in your hormones and gut and digestion and all of these kinds of things.
Sign up for the Summer Retreat here.

In this week’s episode, we are talking about what a truly holistic approach is.
Sometimes we can think of holistic approach as an approach that means less results, maybe less effective or related to using crystals and woo kinds of things.
I want to point out that a holistic approach is really one of the most logical and strategic approaches to have.
Listen to the episode to hear me go through a case study with one of my clients to give you an example of what a holistic approach looks like and that if you want to see incredible results in your body, your belly, your hormones, your energy, in your thyroid and in your skin, you need to a) yes, address your body and look at the systems and gather all that data and b) you also need to look at the context upon which your body has lived and lives.
You have to look at both. This is often part of the problem of why people don't see results or don't sustain results. They're only fixated on one problem. For example, if you have skin issues, you may look at what you can do to support your skin instead of having that holistic approach of looking at what your immune system is doing, your gut health, how much sleep you are getting, do you live in a toxic house? What's your relationship with work? We look at things as a whole - that is a holistic approach.
When you apply this approach, incredible results happen - that's the experience with me and my clients anyway.
So, if you would like to learn more about what a holistic approach looks like, listen to the case study and don’t forget to book in your free clarity call.

In this episode, we are talking about why, when it comes to your health, your body and eating habits, things may have felt really hard. You might wonder why it is so difficult to feel good and to change your relationship with food and be well.
I’ll be talking about the system that we live in and how it has been set up against usd and how it's been set up to make it really hard for us to feel good.
I'm going to be sharing the 5 different aspects of the system that we live in that may have made your health difficult to manage so that you can stop beating yourself up, blaming yourself, thinking you should be further than you are, and just start owning where you're at and have some compassion for that.
Also seeing the wider context of your health can be so permission-giving and can just really help you to understand what's been going on.
So, this is going to be a really juicy episode. It's something that I don't hear anybody else talking about in the health space.
I don’t see this highlighted enough, and it is so impactful to know and understand. It will explain so much about why you are, where you are.
Make sure you have a listen. It's going to be so helpful and it feels really impactful and powerful, even just recording it.
Enjoy!

In this week's podcast, we are talking about what your hormonal symptoms mean. What does the heavy bleeding, the lack of period, the sore boobs, the painful cramping, not sleeping, the PMS, what potentially do they all mean?
These are all really common symptoms, but I would argue that they’re not exactly normal. They are your body telling you something. I want to share this with you because your body is incredibly intelligent and it is always communicating with you and our job is to figure it out and listen.
But most of us haven't been taught that especially when it comes to female hormones and periods, because for the last multiple centuries, we have been shamed about all the things for having a period… And just to point out your period is basically the only reason humanity exists. So, I feel like we should know a little bit more about it.

Today we have session 4 with Jess. This podcast is a live session where we talk about the importance of supporting your nervous system, detoxification, weight gain and why that might be the case, what it has to do with inflammation and a whole lot of other stuff.
This session is a check-in with Jess who has just gotten her continuous blood glucose monitor. Jess is someone who has hypothyroidism. We started working together because she was having awful periods - She would suddenly go from really normal periods to awful ones with really bad fatigue and some weight gain even though nothing else had changed in her life.
These live session episodes are different because they can give you a little peek into what it actually means to heal your body and apply nutritional science and lifestyle medicine to your body. I think sometimes it can feel a bit like we don’t know what it means to do this and if we ever feel a bit unsure about something, we tend to not want to go and do it.
If you think holistic nutrition is all just about crystals and chanting, it's not at all, but maybe that idea puts you off working on your health holistically and you miss out on this whole healing modality/
I'm guessing you're listening to this podcast because you want to feel better because there's some area of your life, maybe it's a diagnosis, maybe you've just got symptoms where you are being told that everything is fine in your health but you don't feel fine. You probably want to feel better and I know that you can - There is always room for improvement.
I'm confident that you can feel better than you do right now.
I really hope that this podcast equips you and helps you in feeling better because that's the big goal, right?
When you feel better, everything changes - your relationships change, your earning potential changes. It impacts your family, how you parent, or if you can get pregnant, it impacts so many things, which is why I'm so passionate about health.
Your body really is the foundation of your life and I know that there's some really fun and awesome things that you're put on this earth to do, but you're going to really struggle to do them if you are not feeling great in your body, mind and health.

This week I am talking about the three fears that all my clients have.
This is something I've seen time and time again, and I know that talking about this will help you to know that it's normal to have fear. That when you want to improve your health or ditch certain symptoms you are saying you want CHANGE and change often comes with its friend FEAR. And I see these fears getting in the way of people making progress so I want to normalize them.
As these are things that each of my clients experienced, so I want you to know to what to expect. SO that when you freak out, get scared or think it's not going to work - you can say 'ahhh yep this is fear coming up and I was expecting it - its right on time! I must be on the way to transformation!'
So the three fears - that you maybe didn't realize were bubbling away under the surface are:
- The idea that it’s not going to work or nothing will change
- It will be SO HARD to do
- The investment of money, energy and time won’t pay off
When we can acknowledge these fears, and expect them to be there, we can have a lot more compassion and keep making progress. A key takeaway here is that if you want to create change, expect it to feel uncomfortable and scary at times.
Getting personalised support will make your life easier and help you push past these fears. Plus when you know what the problems are, when you have a strategy that targets those problems and you have the support to help you implement that strategy consistently, you will see incredible results.

This week, I am sharing five reasons why and how I feel better now after having three kids, less sleep and a whole lot of other life stuff going on.
How and why is it that I feel better now than I did a decade ago? Even in the past year with newborn twins and a toddler and less sleep I feel like my energy is good. I feel good. I'm not burnt out. Not everything is perfect of course, but why is my energy more stable? Why are my hormones normal?
Why has all this stuff plagued me before when I had more sleep and less kids gone away?
I wanted to talk more about this because I also see these play out with my clients all the time and I want to share them with you so that you, in a month's time or in five years' time, feel better than you do now.
I know that you can feel better than you do right now so I want to share these principles with you so you can start to apply them and start seeing some change.

In this week's podcast episode, we are talking about your body being your smartest, wisest, most strategic solid investments, and why we aren't taught this.
We'll look at our values and a really important mindset shift that we need to make if we want to start seeing consistent and speedy results - This is a big thing that I find gets in the way of a lot of people and it’s something that we're not necessarily conscious of.
It can be such a game changer. When I realised this and could put it into words, I thought, oh my goodness, this is insane. It is also so illogical and weird and it explains why so many people are struggling, why so many people are tired, burnt out, exhausted, in pain, uncomfortable, not sleeping well, bloated, having awful periods, skin problems, feeling horrible and feeling like there's no hope.
I'm going to share more about what it is, how we can shift this, where it comes from, and just kind of give you a bit of a pep talk - Let's shift this narrative. Let's shift this value. Because when you do, I promise you that you will see results.
This isn't fluffy stuff. This is fundamental. We're talking about our values and our mindset and our psychology and how some of us feeling rubbish right now is probably inevitable based on this mindset and set of societal systems.
So, it's a really juicy episode. I really recommend you listen all the way to the end.

This week’s episode is a live session with my client, Jess. We have been doing live sessions here on the podcast. So, this is our 3rd session after a bit of a break.
Jess is someone who has energy issues and has been struggling with an awful period diagnosis, hypothyroid, and has a whole bunch of other stuff going on.
Some of the things we about:
- Continuous blood glucose monitoring
- Weight and why she's having a bit of a struggle
- Estrogen and metabolism and check in with her hormones.
And, we look at some of the key reasons why I think last year, her hormones and energy really started to tank and a whole lot of other juicy goodness.
This episode is a really great insight into what it looks like to work with me. Also, FYI, Jess is my sister so there is some banter but it really is a good insight into what this holistic approach looks like and what that actually means.
I think people tend to think the holistic approach is like a whole lot of crystals and meditating, or they think it's just too much and too extreme. These sessions with Jess really helped me to see what it looks like for you and whilst obviously your body is going to be different to hers, some of the struggles that she has, her energy, her hormones etc, come up time and time again with women that I work with.
So, I know that you're going to get some really useful, actionable tips and advice from this, as well as seeing why the process I take my clients through is so transformational and unique.
My approach is very data oriented, scientifically driven. It's very holistic, very empathetic, nonjudgmental - It's realistic. It’s simple and it is incredibly effective.
We talk about the progress she's seen just from a couple of really simple things and experiments that she has run. So, through this episode, I want to show you that transformation is possible. I hope you enjoy it!

In this week's episode, we are looking at why your periods are awful, why your hormones are driving you crazy and what you can do about it.
We’ll look at what's going on, how you can alleviate some of the symptoms and what the two key things are that everybody can do to support their sex hormones and create more balance and balance out their hormones, whether you're perimenopausal, whether you're PCOS, you've not had a period, whether your periods are heavy, whether they're irregular.
These are some of the key foundations that will help - wherever you sit on that spectrum. I’ll explain how your periods can be zero drama and really serve you.
Cos a lot of women feel like their periods are an inconvenience, are shameful or embarrassing but that doesn't need to be the case.
You might be listening or reading this and be thinking, I hate my periods or maybe you're struggling with fertility issues. But these things will really help whether your perimenopause, menopause, whether you're trying to get your period back or whether your period is miserable.
I honestly love periods, but it hasn't always been this way. I used to hate my period because they were really heavy and really painful or my cycle was really short or it just disappeared for a while and I’d go months without it. Then it would come back.
It was irregular for the first decade of my life. (I got my periods really early) So, I didn't know when it was coming. It just arrived and I literally just had to go and lie in a dark room. Turn the lights off until somebody could go get me some drugs. They would take half an hour to kick in and then I could function again as a human.
Now. They are incredible - simple, no pain, no drama and regular.
I've been pregnant for 18 months of the last couple of years and I really missed cycling. I missed my periods because I think when you can make them really healthy and really heal them, then they can become such an incredible way to live your life.
I honestly think that but they need to be balanced first.
In this episode, I'm going to share three different clients I've worked with in the last 18 months to show you different pictures and what their key reasons were and how we improved their symptoms.
- Rachel: Heavy Painful Periods
- Dani: No periods and a complex health situation
- Sarah: Heavy awful periods

This week we're talking about why you are exhausted - Three reasons why you are tired, fatigued, knackered, whatever word that you want to use. I'll share more about how energy is actually made in the body and why it is that you feel exhausted and therefore what you can do about it.
This isn't just some fluffy ‘Ooh, drink a coffee’ We are looking at what the system of energy production is and what can go wrong with it. When you know this, there's so much that you can do about your energy levels.
If you had more energy, maybe you would start growing some vegetables, maybe you'd get that second dog that you want, maybe you would go back and retrain for a totally different career, maybe you would start advocating for certain things, maybe you'd volunteer, maybe you would do up your house.
Energy is such a foundational thing in our lives, yet for some reason, most of us are willing to accept crap energy.
We think of energy as like this outward thing like ‘I hope I get energy’ but energy is a system in your body, in your biology that you create. When you know the system, you can create energy. - It's not a limitless amount of energy, but you can really optimise the creation.
There is a reason why you are tired, and there's something you can do about it.
What is energy? How do we make it? To get more energy we need to understand the system of energy. Energy is cultivated, it's created and it is the result of a very finely honed system within the body.
To put it simply, we create energy in most of the cells in our bodies, apart from our red blood cells. You are made up of billions of cells and within each of these cells is something called mitochondria. Mitochondria is like your power plant - where you create energy.
When we're talking about energy within the body, we're talking about something called ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) There is a whole set of reactions that take place all the time to produce this thing that is energy.
In order to make ATP, it actually costs us ATP - The process of making energy means that you need to spend some energy.
So, if you are exhausted, it means one or both of the following:
- You are struggling to make optimal ATP - I say optimal ATP because if you are alive you are obviously making ATP.
- You are wasting or overspending the energy you produce so you struggling to create more ATP.
I find with clients, it's probably a mix of both but for some people it is more one than the other, depending on their health, history and symptoms.
Maybe you have brilliant ATP - Production is optimal, but you are spending left, right and centre. It's a bit like money. You're really struggling to make the currency, so you're not even necessarily wasting it, but you've just not got it.
So, energy is a bit like money - I think about it like a currency. - It's something that we make.
It's not a limitless resource and that your body just has tons of it. It costs you to run it.
It costs energy to make money just like it often costs you money to get to work.
If you're exhausted all the time, it's kind of like the equivalent of you being in debt. (I call it energetic debt) You don't have enough to pay for what you're doing. You don't have enough energy to pay for what you're doing.
Now, this is metaphorical. It's not necessarily the exact biochemistry, but it's a really helpful way of thinking about it.
What we need to do is manage our energy, just like we have to manage our money. You need to manage your energy because it isn't limitless.
We need to prioritise where our energy goes. This is a part of the conversation but for some of us, there's also some real, biology wonkiness happening that we need to address as well.
Reason 1: Struggling to produce energy So, if we think about that part, your cell is making ATP that can be affected by mycotoxins or mould, things like heavy metals inflammation, certain medications etc, fertility issues, fibromyalgia, cognitive decline, etc.
Mitochondrial dysfunction can look like lots of different things. What we really need to do is look at the actual energy production cycle.
Reason 2: Overspending: Now, another reason why you could be exhausted is because you are overspending.
One of the ways that I see people overspending is by what I call the mental load. They are carrying too many things, juggling too many things - There is too much stuff going on in their brain.
It doesn't necessarily mean doing everything. It’s about having too much going on in your head all at once.
This is especially the case with women, because women tend to do most of the unseen, unpaid, let's be honest, unappreciated work in our society still. Fortunately it's changing, but it's generally the case.
This can be huge - and that doesn't just mean you doing the stuff. Maybe you're in a partnership and your partner is really proactive but you're still the delegator. You are managing your household potentially and if that is a massive load to carry.
Another way to look at this is that you really struggle to switch your brain off. You might be thinking that you aren’t doing too much, but you are struggling to switch your brain off in the evening.
Ask yourself ‘what is my mental load? Am I carrying everything? Where can I get help? Where can I offload things?’
Being able to switch into a parasympathetic state, which can be really hard if you're somebody that just struggles to switch off and you're always prepared to be on the go and then just fall asleep.
That is not healthy for your biology, for your energy production, for your brain. It will lead to burnout or you will just slowly get more exhausted.
So, being able to switch off is really important.
Reason 3: Inflammation Leaks: When I say inflammation leaks, I’m talking about food intolerances, mould, heavy metals, high sugar diets, or just a bad diet for your body, poor sleep quality, chronic stress or too much/too little fat for your body's ideal nutrient depletions.
There might be:
- Auto-immune conditions going on. Immune system dysregulation happens when there's poor digestion.
- Skin issues because of poor detox pathways.
- Drinking too much alcohol
- Taking a lot of medications that just have known side effects - that doesn't mean you have to change that - It's just knowing and being aware that that's maybe a plug or a hole in your bucket.
- Being chronically stressed.
- Poor sleep.
- Being slightly underweight.
These are all going to drain your energy and if you want to have more energy, you need to plug those things so that your cup can overflow with more energy.

In today's episode, we are looking at this one thing that is radical and revolutionary, and probably makes you uncomfortable, but is really integral for you seeing results in your body, your belly, your mind, your skin, and your hormones.
I want to tell you why and I'm going to give you a bit of a history lesson and I'm really hoping that this episode is eye opening and revelatory for you. It has definitely felt that way for me, as I've leaned into this in the past years and realised that this is why I've maybe ended up in the pickle that my health..
It doesn’t get talked about much on the internet - I feel like no one ever talks about it, but it plays such a massive role in your health and feeling good, in your hormones and your belly.
You don't have to agree with everything that I'm saying by any means, but I want to give it to you as an offering, because I really think if you soak this in it could really help you really help you see incredible results.
It might make you feel a little bit uncomfortable but from just being aware of this and taking a little bit of action on it is really going to serve you and you will see results.
I don't really see this talked about much, but it really makes a difference and plays a role in your health, in the speed of your recovery and the progress that you make.
This is something that I have struggled with. I found it uncomfortable to do, and I see my clients struggle with it a lot with the practice of getting support and allowing support in your life.
I see it impacting client's biomarkers because the idea of getting support and the practice of allowing yourself to have support can really feel uncomfortable. I really want to argue for the idea that it's really radical and revolutionary for most women.
So, as you know, I'm a holistic nutritionist - I am not a historian, but I want to go through what I know of history so far.
Women historically have been ‘the support’. - Not just women, other marginalised people too.
They have been the support of family, the support of the men in their lives, support of their children, support of their community etc.
You can see how, if you are expected to support everybody in your family and in your community and in your home and life there is this unconscious expectation that we are there to only support others.
We've been told this unconsciously time and time again - We know through research that the average female is doing about 20 hours per week of free labour in caregiving responsibilities and caring for other people that men simply do not always do or feel they have to do.
We unconsciously think that we don't need to be supported because we need to support everyone else instead. We might feel deserving of support but we often don’t take any action on this feeling and ask for that support.
This is often how we feel about our health and wellbeing. There is support out there - We just need to remember that it’s OK for us to ask for it.

In this episode, I'm going to be sharing with you 5 things that get in the way of figuring out what your root causes are.
Solving the right problems means that you can see more results, make more progress in your energy, your belly, your hormones, and your skin with more speed and more ease.
So, I completed my first 10k race at the weekend. It was a trail race, so there was a fair amount of incline (a thousand feet) - I was so pleased with my time and I feel so grateful. - My health isn't perfect by any means - I'm constantly working on it and I’m currently waiting on some lab results. I'm wearing my continuous blood glucose monitor, because I suspect I have a bit of reactive hyperglycemia and some blood sugar things.
So, everything's not perfect, but I'm really grateful for where it's at considering the last couple of years for various reasons. I just feel really glad that my body is and my brain are doing okay.
I really listen to my body, respect its symptoms and messages and I do what I'm talking about on today's podcast and figuring out root causes. I'm always checking in with it and asking ‘what are you telling me? How can I support you? How can I respect you? How can I honour your functioning and your systems even more? And this is what I want you to start doing too.
So, let’s dive into the 5 things that are stopping you from figuring out what your root causes are:
You didn't know you needed to figure out your root causes As a holistic nutritionist and in this holistic world, it's a really different framework. It's a really different way of thinking and approaching your health. Within conventional medicine, the idea of looking at why you have the symptom you have is not a top priority by any means.
So, let’s say you suffer from headaches regularly - You might take some medication that makes the headache go away, but that process isn't actually solving the problem - It's numbing it.
The root cause of your headaches is not the lack of paracetamol but the paracetamol helps and it could really help your quality of life but it's just the way, that pharmacological system work (which, by the way, isn't bad - I do take medications) but that is the framework that we live in.
Our conventional medical system is a very broad thing. - There's always positives and there's always negatives to lots of big systems, but sometimes when it comes to figuring out our root causes, we just didn't know that that's what we needed to do.
You don't know how to figure out what the causes are This is really common because it's a very new way of thinking. It's about us embodying a more powerful relationship with our body, our healthcare, our treatment, and our progress.
For example, our medical system here in the UK is very much hierarchical - We are used to doing what the doctor says and we don't really question it because we feel like we’re not really allowed. - We think that we don't need to think about why we feel the way we feel or why we have the symptoms that we have.
Being empowered around our health and our bodies and asking why is a new thing and we don't really know how to do it. - Where do we to begin? What does that actually look like? How do we figure out our root causes?
It’s the system you’re in It can be really helpful to know the systems that we are a part - knowing the systems doesn't mean you're judging them or you're criticizing them, or even that you dislike them.
It's just about understanding that when it comes to figuring out your root causes, the reason why you probably haven't done it is because it's not the system that you've been brought up in.
We are used to the conventional medical system. This isn't about throwing shade on that. It's about understanding how that system works and how you fit in with that.
When it comes to root causes and it comes to figuring out and solving the right problem within conventional medicine, it's a system that is set up to serve millions. It has to work well as a system administratively but its goal is not a personalised approach to medicine. It's very much like ‘Do you have XYZ?... Yes you do… Here's the treatment protocol’
You haven't got any help with doing it It can be really tricky when it's your body, your health, your energy etc know what to do and how to do it.
If there’s no support, where do you begin?
With some help you can look at the bigger picture.
If you have other practitioners in your life like doctors, etc to lean on but oftentimes you may need to go and find it yourself.
You are not gathering data (or the right data) If you are not gathering the right data, or maybe you just have no data.
Data points can be anything from results from medical tests like a sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy that have come back clear.
It's kind of like when you're doing like a jigsaw puzzle… you might have three pieces in a section and have joined them together but you’ve got all the other pieces jumbled up on the floor. - You've not got the full picture.
Just making sure you have the right data really can give you a fuller picture.
You can get way more information than what you have right now, so you either need to collect some data, or collect the right data, or just collect even more data.
If after this episode, you still feel like you don't know how to figure it out or feel overwhelmed or have tried and it's not worked, you can book a clarity call with me.
The best way I can serve you is to work with you, get labs done with you and start to see some incredible results. Let’s really get to know your body and implement a personalised protocol. Please note, these are no pressure calls - the goal is that you leave with clarity.
You can book one here - I'd love to chat with you soon.

In this episode, we are going to be talking about a key pattern that I see getting in the way of so many of my clients. If this particular specific pattern is stopping you from seeing the results you want, there is a really subtle shift of your mind and your expectations that will either help you get results in your belly, hormones, skin and energy with more speed and ease, or make you get in your own way and see no progress over time.
So, it's really important but it is actually quite an easy tweak to make. I think just being aware of it is really crucial. When you're aware of it you will think ‘Oh, this is that part of that. Okay, right… let's shift that really easy’ - I promise you, if you get this, you will see more results quicker, faster, and easier in your body because it's just more fun.
As a holistic nutritionist, I'm always looking at the patterns and the things that are getting in the way of my clients so that I can support people to where they want to get to so that they feel really good with more speed and ease and just makes their life easier - because we do often think that being healthy, is this really hard thing to do.
When I'm working with my clients and helping them see incredible results, one of the key parts of that is really about problem solving and figuring out what is really going on. What are some of the root causes and part of that problem solving is noticing patterns.
This pattern comes up with most of them, and it's a really simple shift to meek, but it can make a big difference because this particular, Pattern can really derail. I've seen it really derail clients progress if it's left unchecked.
I often asked clients to choose two key symptoms or key metrics that we track throughout the programme with me so that they can see and feel like they're making progress.
They're seeing those great results but then all of a sudden they hit this pattern where they think nothing is working for them. They're not aware of it being a pattern and they self sabotage which can be a massive setback because they have lost that momentum.
We have this very linear expectation of our progress and it's partly because our brain really likes that it feels safe and it likes to really grasp on to this linear idea of making progress but if suddenly feel like you are not making progress, you then don't make any. - If you allow this expectation to go unchecked, you will find yourself constantly in a vicious cycle of I'm making progress then not making progress because of those thoughts.

Today I'm talking about the two step process that I use to shift body fat in both my clients and in my own life right now - I'm looking to shift a little bit of my own body composition and create a bit more muscle and lose a little bit of fat.
I understand that talking about body fat and weight and shifting it can be emotionally triggering but I also feel quite strongly that being empowered around your body means being empowered with the knowledge of how to create the body composition that you want and figure out what works for you.
Yes, it's great to accept your body as it is because it's beautiful and worthy, whatever your size and whatever body composition you have, but you should also be empowered to know how your biology works, so that if you want to, you can shift your body composition to however you want it to be.

In this episode, we are talking about if a whole food organic, healthy ish diet is enough for you to see results. The answer to this will surprise you but I think it's really useful because either you'll be making this mistake or you will just not realise that there's so much else you can do to feel better.
I'm going to be sharing two different client stories focusing on what each individual needed, how they were different and to use them as examples to show you these different paths because sometimes we like to be black and white with food and health.
If you are wanting to see results in your belly and your hormones etc, it's not about this is right, and this is wrong for you - It's about that personalised approach. It's about what's going to work for YOU. It's about what is going on in your biology, in your body, your gut, your hormones, your brain, what is happening for you and having that personalised approach. That is how you see results.
If you are struggling, if you are bloated, if you are tired, there's so much that can be done for you to feel really good, even if you've been told everything's normal, but nothing can be done. There's so much room for you to feel better.

This week we're doing something a little bit different. We are talking about something that I get asked often when people are looking at working with me - ‘Why do I have the certain price point that I have?’ or ‘ Why am I so expensive?’
I wanted to talk about it on the podcast because the way I price is really strategic and I think this conversation and the five points that I share about why I price, the way I price, should really empower and help you in your own health and in your own life.
I talk about a lot of really geeky, biological, strategic things but also, it's really important that we look at how and why we make the decisions that we make and our behaviours and our psychology.
I really think this conversation will equip and empower you for your own income and life and health and the five different reasons I share with you should be really enlightening.

In this episode, we are talking about the key foundations and pillars to really heal and recover. I'm using these in the context of recovering from giving birth to my twins just over a year ago but what I share would also apply to healing and recovering from long COVID or another viral infection to recovering from burnout, chronic fatigue, a surgery or a series of surgeries that you've had or an in-depth medical treatment that you've had.
I share with these with you in the context of my own recovery, postpartum journey, but the majority of these things would apply to you if you are looking to recover, heal, get your energy, health, mental health and body back to where you want it to be.

Today we are talking about the four mistakes that people make that I really want you to avoid.
I'm going to be sharing how to avoid these mistakes and what to do instead. How my holistic approach and why the work that I do with clients is so different. So, you should leave this podcast with at least one thing that you know you can take action on.
Hopefully with the understanding of these four mistakes you can aim not to make them - it would be great if you can avoid them completely, because you'll make more progress if you do.
These are all mistakes I have made in the past and they really slow down your progress. They're frustrating and they just get in the way.

WHY CAN’T YOU SEEM TO SHIFT YOUR BODY FAT…EVEN IF YOU HAVE TRIED ALL THE THINGS?
Why is ‘eating less and exercising more’ a waste of time for most people?
What is really going on?
Well in the 3rd part of my ‘Why’ series we are looking at why your body might find it REALLY hard to let go of body fat. Why- no matter how hard you try or how little you eat - you can't get over that plateau. Or why you have gained weight ‘for no reason.
(FYI- there is nearly always a reason)
This is something I’ve worked with clients on a lot in the past year so in this week's podcast, I am sharing with you the 10+ REAL reasons you are not at the body fat percentage that feels really healthy and good for you. I share with you what could be going on in your biology, what is really happening and what you can do to really nourish, heal and love your body to its healthy body weight (whatever that means/is for you)

WHY OH WHY AM I BLOATED, STRUGGLING WITH MY BELLY, AND HAVE WEIRD/EMBARRASSING BOWEL HABITS…?
This was a question I asked myself MANY times. So many times and unfortunately I was told there was no reason for it and to just deal with it.
And while I am/was so grateful that I didnt have a serious diagnosis (every Dr was sure I had celiacs disease or chrons - but the test always came back negative) I was still in pain and struggling every day.
Was it in my head?
Was I being a wuss and over-dramatic?
Did everyone just struggle with this level of pain, embarrassment, and diarrhea and I just missed the memo?
Turns out there were MANY reasons why I struggled.
So this week on the podcast I am sharing with you 14 potential reasons for why you have IBS, are bloated and have weird bowels.

WHAT IS A HOLISTIC APPROACH?
What does that actually MEAN? Does it mean it's super weird? Does it mean the practitioner can do whatever the F*ck they want? Is it effective? Why do I call myself a 'holistic' nutritionist?
Some juicy Q's on the go this week! Si if you have wondered what on earth it means to be a holistic practitioner, how is it different from your Dr or dietician and if it's effective (or data-driven!) then this week's podcast is for you my love.
I take a deep dive and share the difference between conventional medicine (which I deeply appreciate) and a WHOLE-istic approach. (AKA the approach that honestly saved my life and is constantly transforming my client lives!)
So if you feel stuck, like you are beyond help or have tried everything and seem to be getting worse, not better then make sure you listen to this podcast - it's ESSENTIAL listening!

WANT TO KNOW ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL QUESTIONS YOU CAN ASK ABOUT YOUR HEALTH?
This isn’t often asked but can be a total gamechanger.
And it's this:
Why?
And that is why I am starting a new ‘why’ series and today we are kicking off by asking:
‘Why.... am I tired all the time?’
---
Do you just need more sleep something else happening?
Do you just need to slow down or are your cells making sufficient energy?
Are you wasting your energy and if so how?
We cover all this in the podcast so click above to listen not.

A lot of people I speak to are stuck in a bit of a trap. They want to be well, heal their body, and feel good. Maybe they want to shift their bloating, body fat percentage, or have more energy - yet they know they don't want to diet.
But is the other option just not to care about the food you eat, to eat whatever...even if you aren't feeling good?
Well on the podcast I want to share with you the THIRD option. It's radical, kind, imperfect and SUPER EFFECTIVE.

HOW TO SUPPORT YOUR BRAIN TO MAKE NOURISHING FOOD CHOICES
Here’s the deal - it’s REALLY hard to make nourishing food and lifestyle choices if your body is stuck in survival mode.
Cos do you know what your body loves when it’s in survival mode?
Sugar & refined carbs.
Caffeine.
Cortisol & adrenaline.
And creating MORE drama and stress.
Great for when you are running away from a tiger but not great for day-to-day life.
But how do you support your brain? How do you get out of survival mode?
That is what I am talking about today in my final Mini Mindset series.

As part of my Mindset Mini-series - today is #2 and I am talking about why it is SO important for you to focus on feeling good.
It might sound simple but if you can get this - your whole life - not just your belly and energy - will change.

CHRISTMAS CAN BE TRIGGERING AF.
Whether it’s your relationship with food, family, your body. Or feeling pressure to create all your ‘goals’ for 2022 or look after everyone around you. It is easy for your mind to feel frazzled at this time of year.
That is why I have done a FREE Mindset series on the Podcast and today is episode 1.
Cos what I know to be true from working with thousands of people on their belly, hormones, energy or skin is this:
Knowledge does not always lead to lasting change and sustained habits.
AKA - most of my clients know a TON about food and health. Their problem is not the knowledge - it's shifting their mindset.
So THAT is what we are talking about in today’s episode.

HOW DO YOU WORK ON YOUR BELLY, ENERGY HORMONES WHEN YOU ARE TOO BUSY CARING EVERYONE ELSE? WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU ARE TOO TIRED TO TO EVEN TRY TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH?
This is a question that comes up a lot with clients. People are coming to be exhausted, tired, DONE. They know they maybe need to tackle the diet and run some labs but they have no energy too!!
Vicious circle - no?
That is the position this week's case study client was in. She was burnt out looking after everyone around her but her energy had crashed. She knew a lot about what to eat and healthy eating but was just too tired to implement anything. She knew she needed support and that she wanted to do something sustainable and knew that editing didnt work (she'd tried in the past!)
But she wanted more energy. She wanted to lose some body fat without editing or harshness.
So that's what we did and in this week's podcast episode it's a LIVE recording with this client as we review her progress after her personalised program.
We talk about emotional eating, how our thoughts impact our habits and how to shift that final chunk of weight she would like to release.†
Its a good one!

WHY DO YOUR SYMPTOMS GET WORSE EVEN THOUGH YOU EAT A REALLY HEALTHY DIET AND HAVE SUPER HEALTHY LIFESTYLE PRACTICES??
Good question.
And one I see a lot with people who come to work with me. Often they are not just sitting in the dark all the time eating XYZ and drinking sugar water. Nope, they actually have some really healthy lifestyle practice….tey they feel like they are making zero progress OR that their symptoms are getting WORSE or have a new diagnosis they feel shocked by.
I mean talk about frustrating!
That is what we are looking at this week on the podcast. I am sharing with you a case study of one of my recent clients who on paper eas super healthy - yet her eczema was getting worse and her energy was LOW - just to mention a few things.

BINGE EATING, INSOMNIA, BLOATING, DECADES OF DIETING INDOCTRINATION, ELEVATED ANDROGEN HORMONES, AND ESTROGEN…
Where do you begin?
Seriously. How do you support someone into (holistic) health after decades of being brainwashed by dieting culture and inaccurate information from ‘professionals’?
How do you create a healthy relationship with food after years of binge eating?
How do you love your body into health AND have a balanced relationship with food and your body?
How do you STOP making your weight and the number on the scale mean SO MUCH?
Well, let me tell you - there is a way. It’s a bit radical, a bit geeky but something I’ve done for myself and for lots of my clients.
And in this week’s podcast, I share with you ONE of those cases - how we worked together to create true health, better sleep, a balanced relationship with food (and begin to heal metabolic disease!)

WHAT SHOULD YOU BE EATING TO SUPPORT CLIMATE CHANGE?
How can we support the planet with the food we eat? Do we need to all become plant-based or boycott butter?
This is something I personally have felt overwhelmed, sad and anxious about - until I created my own ‘plan of (sustainable) action. And it is something I’ve been doing with my clients too.
So in this week’s podcast, I am sharing with you my (unique and probably surprising) approach. I also give you the 4 things to focus on and how you can create your own sustainable action plan that will support your own health AND the planets.

IS LEAKY GUT A REAL THING?
If you google leaky gut then you will find a whole host of people telling you to eat or more often ALL the foods to not eat. You will read various ‘leaky gut’ protocols and differing (confusing) opinions of what to do.
But is it based on any science? Is it a thing? What does it mean?
Well that my wonderful online friend is what I am talking about in this week’s podcast episode.
This is something my clients ask me a lot about when we started working together and I get a lot of DM’s about it too.

DO YOU KEEP GETTING IN YOUR OWN WAY?
I mean I used to do this all the time and still do if I am not aware of myself. And often they are coming to work with me because they’ve spent YEARS stuck in the very frustrating cycle of:
- REALLY wanting a thing (weight loss, no bloating, better energy, healthier skin - whatever)
- BUT they know their behaviour is creating the opposite.
For example, you really want more energy, you really really do. But your habit is to binge on refined sugar, which means you have less energy.
And if we don’t realise it - MOST of us do this and then we blame ourselves for being stuck and not seeing results (??!!)
So if you really want to see some results in the next few months then you need to stop getting in your own way and I tell you how in this week’s podcast. Just click above to listen.

I should maybe preface this whole conversation by saying I NEVER smoked anything in my entire life. I used to work with drug addicts closely and have generally been a tee-total, ‘just say no to drugs’ kinda gal. Even marijuana (and I also HATE the smell of it - yuck!).
Until recently, when I started using CBD oil.
And after a few years of being very wary/disinterested, I finally wrestled with some of the research and gave it a try.
So If you want to know more about my experience with CBD oil, how it is different from smoking weed, what it might help, and if it is something you should run out and buy right now - then listen to this week's podcast. (And honestly, some of my results were quite surprising.)

Wouldn’t it be great if you could see results in your energy, belly, hormones and skin FASTER?

People tend to fall into two camps when it comes to their relationship with food and creating sustainable healthy habits. both ends of this spectrum can be unhelpful and even harmful but nearly every one of my clients falls into the 'trap' of this spectrum. And it stops them seeing changes that last - AKA it stops them feeling good every damn day.
So today I share with you these two relationships with food so that you can see where you fall and how you can create effortless healthy habits.

This is something I get asked about a lot and it's something that my clients come to me, having had done a lot. Yet in the past 3 years, I have ordered one of these tests ONCE for a client. One time, when each week I am ordering countless lab tests.
So why is that? Why do I think that for most people I work with these tests just aren't the most helpful things to spend your timer, energy, and money on.
Annnnddd what to do instead.

This is a topic I have been VERY resistant to talk about (cos hello I am no expert!) BUT it is also something I have been asked about a lot. An awful lot!
So think of this as a bit of Q&A - or more accurately said - question & response.
Yes, I share with you my personal decisions but more importantly the goal is to give you a framework to make your own empowered medical decisions. I don't care what you do or don't do but I do care about you showing up and making informed, empowered, decisions. Decisions that feel right for you and your body.
It's not my job to tell you what those decisions are - so I am sharing with you how I personally make medical decisions for myself (and my children).
I know this is a hot topic so be open, be kind, and know that unless you are a psychopath - we can all agree that the end goal is people being alive and well ;)

My guess is that you are squirming in your seat as you read this.
A parasite = GROSS
Buuuuutttt I have to say I see these come up in stool tests I run for clients more commonly than you would think.
And let me tell you - these creatures cause A LOT of havoc. I suspect them the most in folk when they seem to have cyclical digestive upset (not linked with their menstrual cycle), have ever been very sick aborad, had awful food poisoning or just can't seem to shake the horrid bowels, bloating and general belly discomfort (ohhh and don’t forget FATIGUE - parasite will make you hella tired!). And you seem to make no progress no matter how much kombucha you drink?

I am doing something a bit differently this week as I am talking about something on the podcast that will likely not affect you. Hyperemesis gravidarum severe sickness that occurs in less than 1% of pregnant women. But I didn't know it was a thing until I had it and in this episode, I get super honest and vulnerable about my own experience with it. The goal is to raise awareness and so that you know how to help someone you might know experiencing it.

It's actually really simple for why statistically people gain and lose the same 20lbs over and over again. WHy despite their best dieting efforts the weight does not shift. Or why people plateau.
There are 2 reasons and both are totally fixable. First is your biology and the second is your mindset. And today's episode is all about mindset - because if this is 'wonky' then fixing your biology won't actually matter.

Back in the day I was bloated, stuck on the loo, depressed, and struggling with terrible digestion. I had had all the investigations, biopsy's and tests and in the end, I was told I had IBS, to get less stressed and learn to live with it.
Errr no thanks. My life of being massively impacted by my incontinence, pain, and bloating. So that is how I ended up on this journey.
So now 10+ years later I reflect on why I think I had IBS. Or said in another way - what I suspect were my root causes at the time and how I overcame them.
