There is a lot of talk lately about ‘biohacking’ yourself in order to heal from physical or emotional pain. What’s the difference really? Both types hurt. In one sense physical pain from injury is often easier to recover from than emotional pain from grief, fear, loneliness and isolation. These mindsets present the greatest stress and danger to our wellbeing because unresolved emotional pain eventually translates to physical diseas...
The modern urban lifestyle seems to be getting evermore stressful with mounting financial pressures and environmental exposures. More people are becoming magnesium deficient, which then causes a cascade of other symptoms and premature ageing. How can we afford to get off that treadmill and back to a more enriching and enjoyable life? My special guest today is Elizabeth Bruckner, author of The Home...
Even though women have to deal with hormonal pimples and menstruation each month, after the body finishes its spring cleaning event, the system gets a revitalising boost of health and radiance as hormones rebalance. However, when perimenopause or menopause commences, those cycles of cleansing and renewal can go way out of wack, causing extreme fatigue, sleep disorders, anxiety, brain fog, metabolic issu...
Have you wondered why some people get caught up in a cycle of addiction and self-sabotage? These behaviours are often linked to childhood traumas that have not been resolved or healed. It’s emotional baggage that gets carried forward as negative self-talk to pollute future life experience and relationships.
My special guest today is Richard Tierney, author of Trauma Re...
Mental health issues are escalating at an alarming rate. Last century psychiatry involved a lot of talk therapy and introspective analysis: Now it’s more about labelling (diagnosing) from a list of symptoms in the psychiatric DSM, which are linked to a list of psychotropic drugs, potentially leading to unhealthy dependencies. Most of these diagnosis labels have significant overlap, such as autism, ADHD, schizophrenia and depressio...
What are the effects of the increasing electrification of our work and home environment? Our earth’s own electromagnetic field protects life from the harsh solar space environment, but humans have now amassed a grand array of electro-pollution that adds a great strain to our life and health. From TVs, computers and mobile phones beaming out EMFs, to radio frequencies, radar and electrical leakage from p...
We may get to a stage where we realise our mistakes or the bad habits that need changing, but cognitive awareness isn’t often enough to make the right changes. This is because habits are part of the autonomic nervous system and drive our actions from a subconscious domain. How to re-write the program that went into autopilot is the challenge.

With neurodivergence, autism and Asperger Syndrome on the rise, there is much confusion about how to integrate these ‘diffabilities’ into a workable social model. Not fitting into our old neurotypical models of social behaviours and expectations can cause much trauma and emotional pain for those on the spectrum. Stress and anxiety can push them into alcohol and substance abuse, which means special gif...
Stresses, chemical exposures and nutritional deficiencies can cause excessive waste build up in our brain and central nervous system, which can lead to toxicity, brain fog, headaches and inflammation. If our brain super highways of electrical and neuronal activity get clogged with traffic jams it can get hard to think clearly, memory can fail and emotions can get out of control.

The Total Fertility Rate in Australia over the past 30 years has slowly dropped from 1.86 in 1993 to 1.5 in 2023. It’s a similar trend in other western countries. Putting aside lifestyle choices and economic pressures that cause families to have less children (or no children) intentionally, there is also a growing trend of inability to have children.

Humanity seems to be at a difficult crossroad at the moment, with many existential threats that can cause chronic anxiety, stress, and PTSD symptoms. These challenges at times can seem insurmountable and overwhelming, so how do we get ourselves back on track with strength and purpose?

The Breath of Life is a true miracle in Nature: From a pregnant woman’s breathing that supplies her unborn with access to life, to that child’s first breath of air at birth, the process of breathing determines how we live. But are you aware that certain breathing exercises and techniques can greatly improve your cardiovascular function, and extend your lifespan?

If you are suffering from chronic fatigue, brain fog, anxiety or excessive weight gain, irrespective of having a good diet and multiple nutritional supplements, it may be because of poor digestion. Food may be transiting your digestive system, but how much nutritional value is being absorbed into tissue cells on the interior of your body? That is the question.
Urinary incontinence is surprisingly common in women at various stages of life including pregnancy and in the later years over 40. Many suffer in silence due to embarrassment, or they are advised on strategies like pelvic floor muscle exercises and Kegels, which don’t always work to fix the problem.

Life’s challenges can seem at times overwhelming. The shock of a trauma, an accident or war experience can reset our nervous system and cause Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It can disrupt sleep and severely impact mental and physical health. Rather than suffering in silence, it’s best to seek help from those that have the knowledge and who have walked this path before with success.
The art of the challenge involves stretching our boundaries in order to grow, strengthen and improve. But first we have to get over fear and self-doubt. How can we get out of a rut to meet the challenge when the rut means we are feeling unmotivated, low in energy, and with brain fog?

Chronic pain and unrelenting inflammation are very debilitating symptoms causing excessive stress and even depression. Why are standard treatments like opioids, narcotics and other drugs failing to help people resolve their health problems? Are there natural alternatives that are more effective to treat these conditions without such dangerous side effects? Yes, it seems there are.
With the escalation in stress levels, inflammatory conditions and immune disorders we need good strategies to support the body so it can rebalance and heal. As we lose magnesium excessively under stress, and its deficiency can lead to inflammation and auto immune diseases, it makes sense to replenish with more magnesium to relax and calm the nervous system. Another powerful way to reduce stress to rese...
Autoimmune diseases incorporate more than eighty related disorders, that range from common to very rare, and affect around 5% of people. They include diseases such as thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, lupus erythematosus, vasculitis (which is inflammation of the blood vessels), and even cancer. My special guest today is Shruti Sethi, an holistic nutritionist and cancer coach, Energy Psychologist, Ayurveda and Yoga e...
You may have heard many refer to us humans as beings of light, but what does that really mean? We know the body runs on bio-electricity and is also affected by electro-magnetic fields. Is it possible to get a kind of short-circuit that impacts health, and how can we recover better?
My special guest today is Jason Yun, a seasoned nutrition and fitness coach with a specialty ...
