Are you ready to be empowered and elevate your health and wellness? Join your host, Brooke Archer, a qualified clinical nutritionist and naturopath, as she and her guests discuss a variety of juicy health topics to help you evolve your health and live your best, happiest, and healthiest life.
In this short episode I chat about the influence the diet culture has on us and our ability to listen to our hunger cues. When we are looking to regulate our eating and improve our overall health, what we put into our body in the way of fuel is extremely important. If we're not hearing it's cues on what we need how is it supposed to help us function?
The diet culture has significantly messed with this innate biological function, and while we've been jumping from one diet to another, our poor body's have been trying to survive. The diet backlash is real and we've set ourselves up for one failure after another.
Listen for some simple steps you can take to start relearning to listen to her and how you might actual improve your metabolism by ditching the diet culture.

In this episode I'm sharing with parents what to keep an eye on when it comes to your child's gut health. Kids can't always tell you how they are feeling or describe easily what is troubling them. Often they don't know any different. So keeping an eye on these symptoms can be the sign that you might want to investigate more.
If some of the signs I mention in this episode tick the boxes with your child's symptoms, then contact me and let's work on it together. You can book a free 15 minute discovery call here. You can also check out all my services and offers at brookearcher.com.au
In this latest episode I'm talking about probiotics. There are so many strong messages out there about when you should take probiotics and how you should take them. Yet the majority are from marketing companies not always with your best interest at heart. Let me cut through all that and bust some myths about probiotics with the latest research and product know how.
Probiotics are an incredible tool for our health, yet they're being misused. Learn when to take them for your needs for them to be the most effective.

In todays episode I'm excited to chat with clinical nutritionist and metabolic balance coach Tessa Rickard all about Hashimoto's disease (or Hashimoto's thyroiditis).

Today I wanted to take a look at what might be stopping you from losing the weight that you want to or that would improve your health.
These are the things that no matter how many salads you eat or hours you attend the gym, mean that you just can’t lose the weight. Why is that?
Well, let's talk about those 5 things that can be inhibiting you, or your body more specifically, from releasing that weight, and what you can do about them.
Meal planning…you either loathe it or love it!
In this episode I’m going to go through why you need to start meal planning, how you can do it to suit your needs, and some tips for you to make them stick. More than that, I’m going to take you behind the scenes of how I meal plan for my clients and the considerations that I put into it.
You really have nothing to lose by meal planning! In a 2017 study, it was shown that individuals who plan their meals are more likely to have better dietary quality, adherence to nutritional guidelines or goals, and increased food variety. All round better health basically.
Let me help you identify how to meal plan to improve your health, your household relationships, save money, how to reduce your impact on the environment, and to save your mental sanity. Seriously!
As I mentioned in the episode, here is the link to my FREE meal plan template that you can use digitally or print out and stick on the fridge.

In this episode I'm sharing the basics on Leaky Gut Syndrome. What it actually means, the effects that it can have on your body, and importantly what you can do to reduce your symptoms. The gut effects the whole body, making sure that is working optimally, and absorbing all the good stuff that keeps you healthy is important.
If you have or suspect you have a leaky gut or altered intestinal permeability then work with a qualified practitioner who can assist with testing, reducing inflammation, dietary advice, and supplementation if required. This can be a big and sometimes longer process, that you’ll likely need assistance with, because while you might intend to do good, you can in fact cause more harm and symptoms if you're not careful. Coming soon...my FREE Leaky Gut Meal Plan - keep an eye out for that on my socials.
In this episode I’m excited to be talking to you about an area of the body that I really think is pivotal to ALL other body systems and functions…it is of course the gut. But I’m not just talking here about the stomach when I refer to the gut. I’m talking about a community of microorganisms that ensure you digest the food that you eat, regulate your immune health, help synthesise essential vitamins, are involved in regulating our gene expression, and used in the production of neurotransmitters, plus more...the gut microbiome.
The gut microbiome is an incredible system that we can take for granted. Here I share information all about it, and how you can take better care of yours to prevent some of the health conditions that can result when you are imbalanced.
