The number one mistake I see most people make is not consuming enough protein.While nothing beats food-based protein from animal sources like meat, seafood and eggs, I realise that many of us are busy, and adding in a protein powder can be a quick and easy way to make sure you’re meeting your daily protein needs.The question is, which protein powder is best? This is without a doubt the number one question I get asked as a nutritionist. In this episode, I’m sharing with you:• Why protein is important• How much protein you should be aiming for• The different types of protein powder, and whether to go for a whey protein or a plant-based protein powder• The difference between WPI and WPC• Which ingredients to avoid in protein powders• What to do if you don’t tolerate whey or plant-based protein powdersSubscribe & ReviewI’d absolutely love for you to subscribe to my podcast so you don’t miss an episode!

I know what it’s like to feel tired all the time, and I know just how challenging and frustrating it can be. It really impacts every single aspect of your life. I found it hard to focus at work, I didn't really feel like socialising or doing anything that might wear me out too much, and I really just felt like I was just hanging on - I wasn’t loving life, I was just existing.And coming out the other side, it feels so good to have energy; to be able to train hard in the gym, to go out for cocktails with my friends and not be completely wiped afterwards, and to be able to travel and just feel good. And if you’re struggling with low energy, I really want you to feel better too!In this episode, we’re going to cover the top root causes of low energy, so you can figure out what’s causing your fatigue and take the first step to getting your energy back.Subscribe & ReviewI’d absolutely love for you to subscribe to my podcast so you don’t miss an episode!

Fatigue, constipation, weight gain, and thinning hair and eyebrows are only some of the common signs and symptoms that your thyroid gland isn’t working as it should. You could also be experiencing feeling cold when everyone around you is throwing off their jumpers. Confusingly, when the thyroid is overactive (instead of the more common underactive thyroid) can cause symptoms of anxiety, diarrhoea, and weight loss. This is a really important conversation, because there are so many of us struggling with the effects of poor thyroid function. With the thyroid in particular, there are huge challenges when it comes to getting the right guidance for healing. Conventional medicine unfortunately usually only looks at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to thyroid testing. Today I have an awesome guest for you, Thyroid Expert Michael Rutherford.Michael is incredibly knowledgeable, and he is actually a mentor of mine within the functional nutrition space.Join us as we dive into all things thyroid: ● What the thyroid is and why it’s important● The main signs and symptoms of thyroid dysfunction● Lab testing for the thyroid● Key factors at the root cause of thyroid dysfunction● How to support the thyroid naturallySubscribe & ReviewI’d absolutely love for you to subscribe to my podcast so you don’t miss an episode!

Are you feeling the painful effects of heartburn or reflux, or even something called ‘silent reflux’, causing milder but frustrating symptoms of pain, sore throat, burning, or postnasal drip. Maybe you’ve even been taking medication to stop the burning in your stomach?Whether you have reflux or silent reflux, it’s really important to identify what’s going on, and get to the root cause of the issue, because that constant spillage of stomach contents and acid into your oesophagus and beyond can cause serious damage. In most cases, the key root cause is a lack of stomach acid. I’ve mentioned it many times on the podcast before, but STOMACH ACID IS SO IMPORTANT!Come and listen in while I chat all about:• Heartburn, Reflux, Indigestion, GERD/GORD & LPR - what’s the difference and what’s at the root cause• Why we need stomach acid • What happens when your stomach acid is low• The causes of low stomach acid (and therefore the painful reflux)• My functional approach to overcoming reflux.Subscribe & ReviewI’d absolutely love for you to subscribe to my podcast so you don’t miss an episode!

Are you sick and tired of not having an answer to your fatigue, bloating, heartburn and reflux, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhoea, or other gut-related symptoms like acne or eczema?Gut testing may be the answer you are looking for.This is something I use in my practice with most of my clients, because as you probably know by now, most of the people I work with are experiencing gut symptoms. Now, why would you want to consider gut testing? It’s a really helpful tool for identifying what’s going on in your gut and getting to the root cause of your symptoms.

Are you experiencing decreased muscle mass, dry skin, hair and nails, fatigue, weakness, anxiety or even liver problems? These are some of the common signs that you may not be getting enough protein in your diet. The reason I was inspired to record this podcast, is that so many women just aren’t consuming enough protein.When we don’t get enough protein, we’re not getting fuel to build muscles (this is really important for the metabolism), and our blood sugar is often dysregulated, which can lead to low energy, energy crashes and anxiety. And as you will see, there are many other problems that can arise as well. Here’s what I cover in the episode:• Why protein is so important• The food sources of protein• Animal vs. plant-based proteins • How much protein you actually needSubscribe & ReviewI’d absolutely love for you to subscribe to my podcast so you don’t miss an episode!

Acne and other skin issues, like eczema, can be painful and soul-destroying. Sometimes, no matter what you do, the pain and inflammation just will not go away.  We’ve been lead to believe over the years that skin issues are purely external and happen in isolation. For example, if you have acne, all you can do is cleanse your face properly, apply topical treatment or take potentially harmful oral medications.But if you’ve been around here for a while, I’m guessing you understand that this isn’t the case.Acne and other skin issues are a symptom of a deeper issue. Now that could be an imbalance of the skin microbiome, as we chat about in this episode, or it could be due to poor gut health, food sensitivities or hormonal imbalances, to name a few.I do have another episode on skin health, so If you want to learn about my take on getting to the root cause of acne, eczema and other skin issues, head to Episode 39 of the podcast. So, in this episode, I’m speaking with Yug Varma, PhD, who is the co-founder & CEO of Phyla. Yug has 10+ years of microbiome research experience including an extensive background in bio-organic chemistry, microbiology, and synthetic biology. We talk about:• The causes of acne• The skin microbiome and the importance of keeping it in balance• The similarity between the gut and skin microbiome• How to restore the balance without harsh productsSubscribe & ReviewI’d absolutely love for you to subscribe to my podcast so you don’t miss an episode!

As with so many areas of our health, we've been led to believe our hormones are working in isolation from the rest of our body.

Our gut impacts our hormones and our hormones impact our gut.So instead of looking at hormonal symptoms like PMS, menstrual cramps, or hormonal acne in isolation, let’s look at the gut-hormone connection and what’s at the root of your hormonal symptoms.
