Do you need to take probiotics for good gut health ? Short answer no! We don't have to be taking supplements for our microbiomes to thrive. In this episode, I talk through my top tips for everyday living that you can use to love and nourish your gut . Things like pre and probiotics, stress management, decreasing toxic exposure and more. If you love this episode make sure you listen to the last ep on your gut and your mood. Any questions send me a message on instagram- hope you find this helpful!
This episode I dive deep into the gut brain connection and the synergistic relationship our brain and our gut have, which influences the way we feel. I look into how what is going on in our gut scientifically is proven to influence the messages our brain receives and in turn our mood and behaviours. The second half of the episode has a look at how we can use food as a tool to help modulate our mood and some key food groups we should be consuming for our mental health !
Sit down with Brooke and Sarah as we talk about Hypothalamic Amenorrhea ( HA) AKA missing periods. In this episode, we cover the most common reasons why this may happen, including wellness culture, under eating and over exercising. We also share a bit about our own past experiences, how we got our healthy cycles back and ways you can support and nourish your body if you are trying to get yours back.
Please be aware that we touch on some elements of eating disorders / restrictive eating, so if this may be a trigger for you we suggest skipping to another episode. We are also both here if you ever need to chat xx
Contrary to what diet culture tells us- Fat does not make you fat! Fats are crucial for hormone production, energy, hair and skin health plus more! It all comes down to the types you are consuming. Sit down with Sarah and Brooke as they talk about why fat became demonised, the types of fats that are good for us and the ones that could be contributing to inflammation in the body (sorry oat milk!).
This week on the podcast, we decided to talk about something that is just as influential to our health as the food we eat... STRESS! Join us as we get real and have an open and honest chat about the impact of stress on our biology, the pursuit of perfectionism, recovering from being a people pleaser and all the weird feels in the universe at the moment ( just us ?).
Today on the podcast we chat all things plant based eating! As much as we love our veggies, it's important to be aware that plant based diets such as vegan or vegetarian, can create more of a challenge when trying to achieve adequate intake and absorption of key nutrients for health. In this episode we talk about what some of the most common nutrient deficiencies may be and the foods you can incorporate to maximise your health and prevent complications.
BLOATED ALL THE F*CKNG TIME? Whilst some bloating is normal after certain fibrous foods, too much can indicate you have TOO MUCH bad bacteria in your gut!
Join Brooke and Sarah on the podcast this week as we chat all things funky bacteria and how it relates to a not so funky condition called ‘SIBO'- the symptoms you should watch out for, treatment, protocols and more .
We hope you enjoy xx
Join Brooke and Sarah for another chat about all things hormones ! Following on from last week's chat about the oral contraceptive pill (OCP), we thought it was fitting to talk more about training and eating with your cycle. We go through the 4 phases of the menstrual cycle and how the change in our hormones influences our energy and food intake, as well as our own experiences with hormonal fluctuations through our cycle. We hope you enjoy !
On the first episode of The Inside Scoop, Sarah and Brooke sit down to chat about why we started the podcast, where our love for health and wellness comes from and chat about stress and overexercise on the body and our hormones and why balance is so important! Check out our first proper episode on the pill and let us know what topics you want to chat about next.

Sit down with Brooke and Sarah for our first episode on one of our favourite wellness topics- the Oral Contraceptive Pill ( OCP). So many women are prescribed the pill for many reasons but are never told the repercussions of what the pill actually does to their bodies. Did you know your bleed on the pill isn't actually your real period ? Did you know that by suppressing ovulation by taking the pill you are actually at risk of lower bone density ? We go through what the pill is, reasons you may be prescribed the pill, what effects it has on the body, alternative methods of contraception, and some things to be mindful when coming off of the pill.
We hope you love this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it! Let us know your thoughts and what topic you want to talk about next @theinsidescoop_pod
