Did you know what you place on your skin, ends up in your bloodstream? This is something I'm constantly reminding my girls when they attempt to draw on their skin. The movement of low-tox and body skin care products is starting to gain momentum as people are finding out about the harmful ingredients that make up their fav products. You're most likely aware of this for skin & body care products, but something that is often ignored is the fact that what you wear closest to your skin, can also impact your health, particularly your hormones. Did the penny just drop? Are you thinking about all the items that make up your wardrobe? Over the past couple of years, I've been much more conscious about the choices I make when purchasing clothes- opting for less, higher quality items, or those I will get the most wear from. But there'e something more important I'm looking at- the material it's made form. Today, I discuss an overlooked but incredibly important topic: the materials we surround ourselves with daily—our clothing, bedding, and even towels—and how they can impact hormone health. Plus, I share healthier, low-tox alternatives and practises that support your hormone health, fertility and so much more. ...

Did you know that Lindt & Sprüngli, the renowned Swiss chocolatier, is currently facing a class-action lawsuit in the United States concerning allegations of elevated levels of heavy metals lead and cadmium in its dark chocolate products. The lawsuit, initiated in February 2022 was spurred by a 2022 Consumer Reports investigation that tested 28 dark chocolate bars sold in the U.S., revealing that certain Lindt products (including 70% and 85% cacao bars) contained higher-than-acceptable levels of these heavy metals! So today, I'm going to dive into lead, the sources (including chocolate), impacts of exposure and what we can do to both prevent high lead exposure and detox our bodies daily, from inevitable sources.

When I first started out as a Naturopath I was working for another clinic and I was supporting women through the menopausal stage of life- with major flushes, mood swings and weight challenges. I saw it all. Personally my cycles are regular- they come & go with ease (something I've helped rebalance over the years). However as I approach my 38th birthday, I cant help but start to wonder...what will the years ahead look like for me?  Peri-menopause, journeying into menopause and what will be supportive to help me through the phase of life. Yep, all topics included in todays podcast episode with the inspiring Terry Tateossian.

I was shopping for a gift with my girls and we stumbled across a series of books- each one representing the individual zodiac signs. The books were aimed at children, so I thought it'd be nice to get one for each of us so the girls could understand a little about what being a cancer and Aquarius means. Truth is, I was also secretly excited to learn a little myself as my understanding of astrology is very basic.  The girls have loved learning their star sign symbols, what the constellations look like in the nights sky and yes, they've even fought over wanting each other's birth gemstones.  When it comes to the stars, it appears many of us are missing out on real nuggets of wisdom that could be guiding us to live an aligned, purposeful life. To help talk us through the fascinating topic of Vedic Astrology, I have with me the beautiful Zinzi Bianca.

I used to have insomnia. When I first moved to Adelaide (from Kangaroo Island), the fast paced and noisy big smoke put me in a state of frazzle. I'd tried every trick and herb in the book, but I still wouldn't go to sleep until I was utterly exhausted. When I started studying, I put this and many of my other symptoms down to 'adrenal stress' and then I was convinced I developed a state of 'adrenal fatigue'. Well that's what testing showed too. But the functional medicine community was missing parts of the puzzle when it came to stress and the adrenal glands and how this impacts your health.  & yes, this stress response I'm talking about governs the health of your energy, moods, skin, sleep, cycles, weight & more. We now know the 'adrenal stress' and 'adrenal fatigue' concept are actually a misrepresentation of what is really happening with your hormone production, in response to stress.  Want to know what piece of the puzzle you could be missing when it comes to your health?  Why you don't have adrenal fatigue but where your frustrating energy, sleep, cycle, cravings, weight gain, mood swings, anxiety symptoms could really be coming from? Today for episode 107 of the Back To The Paddock podcast, I'm joined by a friend and fellow women's health mentor, Steph Bartlett as we share personal stories of when cortisol goes crazy and delve into what this means for your health outcomes.   JOIN OUR FREE UPCOMING MASTERCLASS 'Are Imbalanced Cortisol Levels Impacting The Way You Look & Feel?' >> https://www.glowingmumma.com/cortisolmasterclass  PODCAST SHOWNOTES: https://www.glowingmumma.com/blog/episode107  SAY HI ON INSTA: @BackToThePaddock  & @KaseyWillson.Naturopath https://www.instagram.com/kaseywillson.naturopath/ 

Know someone with a lisp? Or perhaps you've questioned if your child's language or speech development is on par with their age? Maybe you feel completely clueless as to what to expect, as this is your first time around as a parent? I'll admit, I've found myself wondering at times if my daughters word pronunciations need following up with. Then I realise their actual age and have a giggle at my over analysing nature. But on the other hand, if small challenges in language and speech development are ignored, this could lead to more therapy needed later in life. It's a tricky one. So that's why we turn to experts, like Speech Pathologist Chloe Cocks.

The presents are unwrapped, Christmas feast (and leftovers) have been devoured and the year is coming to an end.     It's that strange time between Christmas and New Year where you lose track of what day it is and you're given a chance to take a breather, before the new year approaches.      I find it a nice time to look back on the year, reflect on the highs and lows to gain clarity on what didn't serve me & manifest more of what I do want to feel and experience in the new year.     & to round off the year, I have shared a personal update in the last episode for 2023.     I share…  

When trying for a baby, and supporting yourself through pregnancy and post partum, it can be so effective to draw wisdom and support from multiple modalities and practises.  Today we are diving into the world of traditional Chinese Medicine. This is not an area of expertise for me, but I have certainly felt the benefits personally and in shared clients with TCM practitioners, for supporting a journey into and throughout motherhood.  I have with me today my very first international guest, Los Angelas based fertility expert Dr Beck Hoen, to explore this modality with us.

Breastfeeding experiences for one Mumma can be completely different from another. It can also be an emotional roller coaster, especially when mixed with broken Mumma sleep.  There can be frustration, pain, exhaustion, overwhelm, heartbreak, but also an abundance of love & oxytoxin experienced throughout a mothers breastfeeding journey. Geez, some days you may experience all of the above! When it comes to nursing, like all areas of motherhood there are different techniques, challenges... and even more opinions.  Gaining support from a qualified International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) is something I will always recommend, but I have to admit I also personally adore listening to the experience of other Mums. I take what resonates and go with my gut. Common breastfeeding challenges amongst Mums include supply issues (over and under) and many will experience some degree of mastitis. So when guidelines change, as they have recently with the way the Academy Of Breastfeeding view and treat mastitis, I like to explore the why behind it. Hence inviting one of my fav lactation consultants back for a chat- Hannah Willsmore. Hannah joins me for episode 98 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast. .............................................................................................................

I often find myself wondering about what the future world looks like for our little loves. I'm sure I'm not alone. If we took a night's worth of mainstream media, the wondering soon turns to worry with words like Climate Change and extreme weather events being thrown around. But as always, by limiting the mainstream media as your #1 source of information, you're missing some important truths. Instinctively, I've know for years that there was more to the climate agenda than what we're being lead to believe and over the years the facts are backing this up. So let's get curious and keep an open mind as we delve into this discussion with fellow regenerative farming enthusiast, Cyndi O'Meara.  Cyndi is a Nutritionist, best-selling author, international speaker and founder of Changing Habits and The Nutrition Academy but also has much to say when it comes to the health of our planet.

When it comes to taking health into my own hands, preventative health is what I strive for. Nourishing my body & mind with foods, & natures medicine, but also feed my soul with activities I love (even if my girls are right there with me). Sure there's times when we go down with acute symptoms, but I feel confident knowing we have a natural medicine wellness toolkit on hand to support us through it. Of course, if needed, medications & emergency health care are there for us. I think it takes a level of curiosity to question the ‘norm'; patience & dedicated time to do the research to find the best options for your family and a level of confidence to live life aligned with your family values, no matter the opinion of others. Plus a whole lot of intuition to tap into and follow as you navigate your daily health choices.   What if I told you, I know someone who is in her 60s and is fully embracing this. So much so she  has never been given or taken ANY medications throughout her life. She helps guide me back to using foods as medicine first, is a true inspiration with the businesses she had created & how she had set her family farm up to provide for themselves and others. Plus I love the way she lives intuitively. Introducing a pioneer in the health space, Cyndi O'Meara. Cyndi is a Nutritionist, best-selling author, international speaker and founder of Changing Habits and The Nutrition Academy.  Today, I get to chat with Cyndi all about food, farming and intuitive living for episode 92 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast.  What We Cover: The beginnings of creating Changing Habits. How she has gone about sourcing these high quality foods, including interesting stories of their travelling adventures.  A typical day on Cyndi's plate and diets that she does follow. The incredible fun fact about Cyndi that will blow your mind! Daily routines, habits and practises that bring more joy into her day. The dream and process of becoming a farmer and what the Changing Habits farm includes and involves.  What farming practises they use and why this matters.  What minerals different coloured "weeds" provide- this is fascinating! Her biggest lessons as a parent and what she is conscious about teaching her grandchildren. Plus more!

  I was ironically pressing send on this post, explaining about how we'd lead a healthy lifestyle while on our most recent trip to far North Queensland. That's when it started to creep over me. The headache started pulsing behind my left eye, my body began to ache and my bed was calling me louder and louder. Despite the warmth under the blankets, my teeth were also chattering loudly. I was down and out. It took me a couple of days of being bed bound before I mustered up the strength to clear my mind and work out a plan of attack with my herbs, nutrients, probiotics and oils on hand. Whether it's you or your little loves suffering with a sickness, when you're in the midst of it all, its no easy task trying to strategise a medicine routine.  So that's why I wanted to open up a conversation about important topics when it comes to children's health- croup, ear infections and avoiding antibiotics. So you can be equipped with your actions steps ready to go for when the next acute family health challenge comes knocking.  I thought it would be a helpful time to invite back, Childrens Health Naturopath Ashlee Yates to have the discussion with me.  Ashlee Yates is a degree qualified Children's Health Naturopath supporting children and families through upset tummies, coughs and colds, itchy skin, sleeping issues and everything in between. As a result of her own experiences as a mum, her clinical focus has developed with a strong interest in the health of children and their families. She now works primarily with families navigating digestive concerns, sleeping issues, recurring illnesses, colic and reflux, eczema, and learning or behavioural concerns. Ashlee believes that as a parent, you're doing the best that you can with the knowledge and resources that you have available to you at the time. With nutritional and herbal medicine, she is able to complement mainstream medicine. Her goal is to share her knowledge as a Naturopath with evidence based herbal and nutritional medicine so it can be used safely and effectively in family healthcare.

In amongst friendship groups, I've certainly heard my fair share of complaining when it comes to the men in our lives. Yes, I'm guilty of this too.

So you know that folate is important for your pregnancy and baby health, but when it comes to looking at foods and supplements for your preconception and pregnancy, it might cause you some confusion. There is more to it than grabbing a folic acid containing prenatal off the chemist shelf to cover your needs.     As new research emergences, the way we prescribe folate is also evolving. If you're wondering what the difference is between the folate in your foods, the folic acid in supplements and the new buzz word, methyl folate, stick around, I'm going to break this down for you and explain the importance of getting the right folate for your fertility. So you can avoid a deficiency, dangerous build up and the complications associated with this for you and baby.  FURTHER LINKS: Path To Glowing Mumma Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum Program: https://www.glowingmumma.com/path-to-glowing-mumma-mummatobe-disc Podcast Shownotes: https://www.glowingmumma.com/blog/episode88 GlowingMumma.ThrivingBubba Instgram: https://www.instagram.com/glowingmumma.thrivingbubba/?hl=en  Kasey's Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/KaseyWillsonNaturopath/  

Are you pooing properly? I know, personal question. But as a Naturopath, toilet talk is a regular topic of discussion. Issues with pooing can range from irregular frequency, straining on the loo, to incomplete bowel movements with the feeling that there's something inside shortly after your toilet stop. This can lad to a cycle of abdominal bloating, discomfort, foul smelling gas and contributes to toxin build up and hormone imbalance, such as oestrogen dominance. Time to get out the Bristol stool chart and tune into my chat today with Naturopath & Colon Hydrotherapist Kirsty King.  We're going back to stool school ;) Kirsty is a gut health obsessed naturopath and colon hydrotherapist on a mission to make the world a healthier and happier place. Kirsty recently opened Gut Recovery Centre where she works alongside other practitioners to help clients get to the bottom of their gut issues so they can take back control of their health and have positive poo experiences.

Are you curious about education options for your children? Or perhaps you're looking for gut health inspiration for you and your loved ones? This is an episode just for you. As my daughters 5 year old birthday approaches, I can feel the pressure of our schooling decisions for her getting building up. We've always had a Steiner school as our preference for our daughter, however our move to the country wasn't quite close enough to pursue this choice. I'm now leaning towards homeschooling, but understand this is a massive commitment but also comes with a whole lot of beautiful bonuses. Amelia is excited by the thought of our days on the farm, learning through play and life skills and yes, amongst interaction with out-of-the-home activities and sports... but we're still working on hubby. I just love hearing other Mumma's experiences and today I explore homeschooling from a Mumma of four and gut healing cookbook queen herself, Jo Whitton. Jo Whitton lives in Far North Queensland where she runs her business, Quirky Cooking, from home and enjoys the country life. Due to food intolerances in her family (herself and her four children), Jo began researching ways to improve their health through diet from the time her kids were very young. In 2008 she began a blog,  Quirky Cooking, to share what she was learning and the recipes she was developing for her family. In 2014, Jo's son Isaac was diagnosed with severe OCD and anxiety, which resulted in a deep dive into gut health and food as medicine. Not only did Isaac's mental health stabilise, but her whole family saw massive improvements in their health. Jo has since helped thousands of families to heal with food, sharing the principles she used to heal her own family.   Jo runs health seminars, cooking workshops, retreats and other events both in Australia and overseas, sharing how to transition to a healing, whole food diet in a doable and sustainable way. She also shares podcasts and videos and facilitates gut health programs to support people working through healing with food, regularly develops new recipes for her audience, and shares daily  cooking videos from her kitchen on social media. Jo is the author of three best-selling cookbooks: “Quirky Cooking”, “Life-Changing Food” and “Simple Healing Food”.   In this episode we explore: An introduction into Jo's family, their personal health challenges that lead them to embark their healing journey. The GAPS diet and their incredible gut healing experience. How and when they were able to reintroduce dairy into their diet, without reactions. What a typical day of meals looked like on the intro and full GAPS phases and some tips for navigating this with a family.  What meals look like now they are not following the full GAPS diet and what foods are still potential triggers for them.   When and why Jo began educating her children from home. What their days looked like while home schooling The homeschooling approach Jo took. How she found the balance between work life and mum life as a home schooling Mum. Most rewarding moments educating your children from home. How her children have transitioned into work after home schooling. Plus more!

As Dr Natasha Cambell Mcbride states "In healthy gut flora, a digestive disorder cannot develop." So have I got your attention?   If you're going around in circles with your health, feel like you've tried all the things for either small niggly symptoms or major signs of disturbed health and just stuck with where to from here, coming back to your gut health is likely where you need to turn. Yes, your gut microbiome and gut integrity is at the core of your overall health and wellbeing. When it comes to supporting all aspects of gut healing, the GAPS diet is one that deserves more air time. It does overwhelm most at the initial thought of it (me included), but if you're committed to allowing the healing to occur and supporting all areas of your health, particularly the way you function and feel mentally, this is a game changer. Cue one of Australia's top 'GAPS Diet' practitioners, Elyse Comerford. Elyse Comerford, founder of Well Belly Health Clinic, is an Integrative Nutritionist and Certified GAPS (Gut & Psychology/Physiology Syndrome) Practitioner, Keynote Speaker, Mentor, and most importantly, Mum to Dylan. Elyse's primary focus for the past decade has been in private practice, helping thousands of families overcome a whole host of health issues through the implementation of nourishing and healing principles, reducing toxic stress, and the GAPS protocol.  Elyse has developed online programs, seminars and retreats that have changed the lives of thousands. Elyse's stress-less approach to health has been game changing for many, taking health from overwhelming to sustainable for every day busy families.  Elyse has worked closely with Quirky Cooking's Jo Whitton for the past 7 years, creating programs, retreats, and collaborating on Jo's latest cookbook, ‘Simple Healing Foods'. You can also hear Elyse speak on a number of podcasts including ‘A Quirky Journey', ‘Low-Tox Life' and ‘Primal Alternative Podcast'.  Elyse's approach is based on taking the normal "guilt, blame, shame and deprivation” and completely turning it on its head, focussing instead on healing, nourishing, and listening to the body. What We Cover: An insight into Elyse's personal health journey and what lead her to do the work she does to support people through the GAPS diet. What the GAPS diet is, how it began and how it is different to other gut healing diets (such as low FODMAP for SIBO). The stages of a GAPS diet- difference between intro and full GAPS and when you know when you are ready to change from one stage to the next.  When you should consider following a GAPS diet. When not to follow the GAPS diet and Elyse's thoughts around GAPS during pregnancy, breastfeeding, babies and young children. The contributing factors for dark circles under eyes in children and her approach to supporting their health.  Why parasite cleansing is not supportive for your gut health. How to overcome bowel movement changes during the GAPS diet- bth loose bowels and constipation.  What is going wrong with conventional baby food introductions and how to set babies up from the beginning for healthy gut health through foods.  Personally why and what healing Elyse notices when she follows GAPS intro.  Tips for kids birthday parties- how to navigate for a healthy gut in children.  Plus more!

I don't drink milk, but I'm thinking of getting a milking cow for our little farm. Crazy right? But when I say I don't drink milk, that's the pasteurised version of cows milk. The raw, enzyme rich, fresh milk from our own cow will be something else. Oh and I'll be lining up for the cream too- delicious homemade butter on tap! I also think it will be so wholesome for my girls to grow up taking care of, helping to milk and of course, benefiting nutritionally from having our own family milking cow. Something I too had snippets of growing up.  So when I shared our vison for our little farm on instagram, one of my patents said I just had to follow Mary-anne from Korinya Farm Gate. I jumped across to her page, took a quick scroll and instantly fell in love with what they've created from their homestead and the inspiring life they lead for their children.  Whether having a large scale farm, productive backyard or some herb pots to handpick is a dream for you, you'll love this down to earth chat between a Naturopath & passionate farmer and homesteading Mum.  Mary-anne Mickan, along with her husband Scott and four children are a family of full time farmers & homesteaders of Korinya Farm Gate.   Mary-anne is passionate about her family - their health and wholeness is always her priority. She adores milking their small dairy herd, growing food & cooking with nutrient dense ingredients. The use of essential oils, herbs, minerals and homeopathic remedies support her family and livestock on a daily basis.  Korinya farm gate is a family owned and operated business with a focus on family, sustainability, education and passion for the animals. Their passion lies in the holistic way - from paddock, to plate, for you.  In between milking, homeschooling and homesteading duties, I recorded a chat with Mary-anne to learn about this wholesome way of living and farming in a regenerative way.    Here is episode 84 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast.

If you're like most patients who come to me with their 'hormone health' blood work up they had with their GP, you have been told that your thyroid health was normal and often unfortunately dismissed. Something is often missing however- a test for thyroid antibody levels to check for autoimmunity activity.  If you have had your levels checked and they are 'in range',  heightened above the 'normal', or your health care provider hasn't checked this off yet, you'll want to pull up a seat and listen in. There's likely more to the picture that you're missing. Thyroid antibodies are often present prior to you experiencing symptoms, and are a result of an underlying inflammatory response in your body. This can lead to various symptoms of mood, energy and sleep disturbances, fertility challenges and pregnancy loss.  To open up this very topic, I have invited Naturopath, acupuncturist, Conception Queen and all round women's health expert, Miranda Myles for a podcast chat.  What We Cover: The role of the thyroid in fertility and overall wellness. The different types of thyroid imbalances that can cause issues. The acceptable level of thyroid antibody activity and optimal reference ranges.  Whats happening in the body with raised thyroid antibodies. The potential causes of autoimmunity of the thyroid. Research backed effective therapies that can help reverse antibodies. Plus more!

When it comes to baby making, the events of conception that occur within the body never cease to amaze me.  There are many hormones at play to do their intricate dance, follicles to ripen and mature, sperm to show up fighting fit and ready to meet the healthy egg, follicular tubes to be clear, the presence of nurturing cervical mucus and a plump nutrient rich endometrium, ready for the implanted fertilised egg to flourish. It truely is magical. Because of the intricacies involved, natural conception often doesn't happen as soon as first hoped. Fear can often get in the way and terms like "unexplained infertility" are quickly thrown around by healthcare providers.  While I understand there are times when it is needed to bring a baby into your world, what I encourage as a Naturopath is to ensure my patients gain holistic health care, so the multiple areas of fertility are addressed holistically before rushing into assisted reproductive procedures, such as IVF. To help unpack this for you today, I have a detailed chat to share with you with Dr Cathy Peterson.  Dr Catherine Peterson is a GP with a special interest in restorative reproductive medicine (RRM). She uses RRM to manage many conditions including infertility (both male and female factors), pregnancies at risk of miscarriage, irregular periods, PCOS, abnormal menstrual bleeding, and PMS.   Restorative reproductive medicine looks for underlying causes and treats those causes to achieve reproductive health and hormonal balance. She uses her knowledge from her NaProTECHNOLOGY TM training, and multiple FEMM TM Medical Management training courses.   She can assist women wanting fertility education to avoid pregnancy and also offers obstetric shared care.    WHAT WE COVER  What is NaPro Techonology and restorative reproductive medicine and why should this be an avenue that you consider before other assisted fertility options such as IVF. Common contributors for fertility challenges that are often overlooked and how are they impacting a healthy conception. Symptoms of imbalanced prolactin hormone levels and why this is often missed on a regular blood test. Medications assisting fertility and inflammatory based conditions such as endometriosis.   The types of cervical mucous a woman should be looking out for over her cycle and role of cervical mucous for a healthy conception. How to detect ovulation through being in tune with your cervical mucous.  The optimal time and frequency of intercourse for a couple to be to increase chances of conception.  Causes of low cervical mucous.  The ovulation defect that contributes to endometriosis.  Type of testing recommended for men preconception, and tips around gaining an accurate semen analysis. Ways you can support a pregnancy and prevent miscarriage through gaining insight into this one hormone level test and supplementing if required.  Plus so much more!

If you're anything like me, you focus on nourishing yourself with whole foods, drink filtered water, take supplements to optimise your nutrition and the way you look and feel on a daily basis. You make an effort to move, follow mindfulness practises and you're working towards making your home a safe zone from EMF's. If you're not there yet, that's ok. One step at a time (my support here might help you along the way). But I have a question for you. Have you ever considered how light impacts your health? Not just for absorbing vitamin D or preventing yourself from burning in the summer sun. Light exposure can either help or hinder your health depending on the source and the time of day. Yes, this can impact your sleep, moods, energy levels and so much more. It's time to open this can of worms so you can understand why the natural and synthetic lighting you're exposed to matters and how you can make healthy decisions for your hormones, fertility, pregnancy and baby health.  Let me introduce you to an expert in this field, Daniel Ebbett for episode 81.

You know what I miss about life before my pregnancies and breastfeeding days? Cleansing!  Yes there's still ways to gently supply detoxification through foods like my fav ferments and gentle herbal teas, but I do practise caution when it comes to taking anything new and especially if it has powerful detoxing actions.
