Ep 125The Last Taboo: Transforming How We Die, Grieve, and Remember with Cara Walker
EWe spend so much time talking about health, longevity and optimisation — yet almost no time preparing for the one experience we are all guaranteed to face: death.In this deeply powerful and emotional episode, I sit down with Cara Walker — independent funeral director, celebrant and death doula — who is redefining how we approach death, dying and grief in modern culture.From her journey as an eco-fairy to founding a more human, personalised approach to funeral care, Cara shares what is missing from the current system — and why reclaiming ritual, touch, and connection is essential for true healing.We explore how death has been removed from the home and outsourced to systems, how this impacts the grieving process, and what it actually looks like to support someone through a conscious, dignified end-of-life experience.This conversation is not just about death. It’s about how we live, how we love, and how we prepare for what is inevitable.What We CoverWhy death is the last major taboo in modern Western cultureHow the funeral industry has shifted away from community-based careThe role of a death doula and what end-of-life support should look likeWhy removing touch, presence and ritual complicates griefThe physiological and emotional process of dyingHow to support loved ones during the final stages of lifeThe importance of normalising death conversations within familiesHow children process grief and why inclusion mattersThe difference between traditional funerals and personalised ritualsVoluntary assisted dying and curated end-of-life experiencesPractical ways to prepare for death before crisis hitsKey TakeawaysDeath is not just a medical event — it is a deeply human, relational and emotional processAvoiding death conversations often leads to increased trauma and confusion during griefTouch, presence and witnessing are critical components of healingSupporting someone through death requires unlearning many instinctive caregiving behavioursRitual and personalisation can significantly change how grief is experienced and processedPreparing for death is one of the most powerful acts of love we can offer our familiesAbout Cara WalkerCara Walker is an independent funeral director, celebrant and death doula based in Perth, Western Australia.With over 30 years as an eco-fairy and community figure, Cara transitioned into death care after witnessing the limitations and lack of compassion within the traditional funeral system.She is the founder of Walker Family Funerals, where she provides personalised, community-led funeral services and advocates for more natural, conscious approaches to death care — including education, home-based dying, and reform around end-of-life options.Resources & LinksWalker Family Funerals: https://walkerfamilyfunerals.com.auFree death care workshops (via Cara’s website)Petition for natural body composting in Western AustraliaFinal NoteThis episode may bring up emotion — and that’s the point.Death is not something to avoid.

Ep 123The Science, Stigma, and Seed-to-Patient Journey of Medicinal Cannabis with Matt Shales
EMedicinal cannabis is one of the fastest growing areas of modern medicine — yet it remains widely misunderstood.In this episode of The Revital Health Podcast, Jodi Duval speaks with Matt Shales, CEO and Co-Founder of MediCann Health, about the evolving medicinal cannabis industry in Australia and the science behind producing high-quality cannabis medicine.Together they explore how cultivation, genetics, extraction methods, and rigorous testing all influence the safety and effectiveness of cannabinoid therapies.The conversation moves beyond stigma and headlines to examine what truly defines a pharmaceutical-grade cannabis product and why quality control is critical for patient outcomes.They also discuss the rapid expansion of medicinal cannabis prescribing in Australia, the role of clinical research, and the future of cannabinoid medicine.In this episode we discuss:How medicinal cannabis is grown and why genetics matterThe importance of cultivation methods and environmental controlTerpenes, cannabinoids, and the “entourage effect”What defines a high-quality medicinal cannabis productThe challenges of regulation, stigma, and educationThe future of cannabis research and clinical trials in AustraliaThis episode offers a fascinating insight into how a complex plant is being transformed into a regulated therapeutic medicine.Connect with Matt ShalesWebsitewww.medicannhealth.com.auSocialsFacebook: Medicann HealthLinkedIn: Medicann HealthInstagram: @medicannhealth
Ep 122Cycle-Smart Training: How Women Can Train With Their Hormones, Not Against Them, with Chanae Brookes
EIn this episode of The Revital Health Podcast, Jodi Duval is joined by Chanae Brookes, for a cycle-aware conversation on female training, performance and recovery.Together they unpack what can shift across the follicular phase, ovulation and luteal phase, and how these hormonal and physiological changes may influence insulin sensitivity, inflammation, pain tolerance, perceived exertion, recovery demand and injury risk.They also explore what can happen when women overtrain, underfuel and live under chronic stress, including protective endocrine suppression patterns that may show up as cycle disruption, reduced ovulation signalling, impaired recovery, mood changes and downstream performance decline.The conversation covers practical takeaways for women who train, including cycle tracking as a readiness report, the value of biofeedback over rigid programs, and a grounded discussion about the oral contraceptive pill in sport. The episode closes with a timely discussion on creatine: potential benefits, why dosing needs to be individualised, and why lab markers and kidney function context matters when supplementation trends go mainstream.If you’re training hard and want to protect your hormones while still building performance, this episode will give you a smarter framework.Topics we coverTraining through the menstrual cycle: follicular, ovulation, lutealRecovery demand, perceived exertion and cycle-aware programmingOvulation, confidence and ligament considerationsOvertraining, under-eating and hormonal suppressionOral contraceptive pill considerations for athletesCreatine: benefits, dose context, and “test, don’t guess”Where to find ChanaeRevital Health (Global Telehealth).

Ep 121EMMETT Technique with Lindsay Hilder: The “Body Electrician” Approach to Release
EIn this episode, Jodi Duval is joined by Lindsay Hilder, body therapist with over 25 years of clinical experience and Co-Director of the EMMETT Technique International, to explore a unique, results-based approach to manual therapy used worldwide across humans and animals.The EMMETT Technique is a light-touch neuromuscular release method designed to work with the body’s own intelligence rather than force change. It is results-based rather than time-based, highly precise, and intentionally inclusive rather than exclusive, meaning it can stand alone or integrate seamlessly with other therapies.Lindsay shares the lineage of the technique from founder Ross Emmett, how EMMETT points are identified and applied, and why timing, precision, and practitioner presence matter just as much as technique.In this episode, we explore:What the EMMETT Technique is (and what it is not)Light-touch neuromuscular release and its effects on posture, pain, function and lymphaticsThe “body electrician” analogy and indirect access pointsWhy timing matters: sedating rather than irritating the nervous systemResults-based treatment versus fixed session lengthsThe 7As: attitude, atmosphere, environment and their impact on outcomesApplication across adults, babies and animalsPractitioner training pathways, including workshops, practitioner modules and professional levelsHealth autonomy and restoring agency to individuals and familiesAbout Lindsay:Lindsay Hilder brings both lineage knowledge and contemporary clinical insight to the ongoing evolution of the EMMETT Technique. Raised alongside the development of the method and now teaching internationally, her work focuses on inclusivity, integration, and practitioner-agnostic education.Learn more:Official website and practitioner directory: https://www.emmett-technique-hq.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmetttechniqueinternational/This episode is a grounded reminder that sometimes less force, greater precision, and better listening create the most meaningful change.
