In this episode, I'm diving into the topic of energy—because let's face it, when you have energy, life just feels easier and better all around. I'll be sharing some holistic ways to help you restore energy if you're dealing with chronic fatigue, Long COVID, fibromyalgia, or other draining conditions. I've worked with a lot of clients facing these challenges, and I've seen firsthand how complex and personal the journey to better energy can be. With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, for example, it's what we call a “syndrome,” meaning it's a bunch of symptoms we don't fully understand yet—kind of like PCOS or IBS. These diagnoses are basically labels for groups of symptoms without a clear cause. And because research is still limited, we're missing a solid understanding and real treatment options. So, every person's experience with CFS, Long COVID, or fibromyalgia is different, with unique root causes and triggers. For these kinds of issues, conventional medicine often doesn't have a lot to offer beyond maybe a couple of medications or sometimes therapy for CFS. But these are multifactorial syndromes, meaning there's usually a mix of different factors at play. The key is figuring out what those factors are for you—what's really driving your symptoms and what's going to make the biggest difference. I'll be sharing the patterns and common factors I see most often with clients, as well as some quick, actionable tips you can start using right away to boost your energy.

Is it perimenopause? Or is it actually something else that's going on? That's what I'm sharing today in this mini episode. This episode aims to get you thinking, questioning, and being honest and also to provide you with a new idea. We are seeing so much more chat about menopause and perimenopause, which is brilliant. I am here for so much more education. We are talking about it. There's awareness, it's happening, it's changing in workplaces, it is so needed. It's a really important transition, a lot of things can go wrong and lots of women can really struggle with this. But I've also noticed when I'm talking to a woman who is thinking of working with me, whether it's late thirties or forties, the label that they're slapping on everything is perimenopause. I'm not actually here to say that that is necessarily wrong. I just want to provide a different narrative of what could be going on or a different way of seeing it. When it comes to your hormones, you actually have so much more control and you have so much more influence than you realise.   Resources Book your free call with me here If you want to work with me, I have spaces in my new program, Bloom.

In this episode, we're talking about endometriosis, adenomyosis, and fibroids, as well as what an integrative healing approach is. My job here as a nutritionist and coach (and here on the podcast) is to help you feel better. I want you to feel better. I don't mind how you get there as long as you get there but I've found through my experience and through helping hundreds of clients at this point, that a holistic approach is really powerful. It doesn't negate the other things like medicine and surgery, but actually, when you can treat the whole body, the whole person, and look at your diagnosis from that holistic lens, it can really work in helping you feel better. Over the years, I have had so many clients with either Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, Fibroids or issues with the womb and often they're left feeling really despondent and hopeless like there's nothing they can do. Even if they have surgery, then they will probably have surgery again and again. Often these are people in their 20s or 30s and they look at it like they have a life ahead that is full of constant surgeries to remove this kind of rogue tissue so I wanted to do a podcast episode on this. I want to talk a bit about these conditions, summarise them and give you a high-level picture. —- Are you wondering what the heck is going on with your body?

Did you know you can actually prepare for a better, easier menopause? That there are (at least) 5 things you can start doing right now to set you up for success? With all of the increased awareness and education that is going on around menopause, (which I love!), there's also something missing in that conversation. I am not at the point of menopause yet, I can set myself up for success as I head into that era of my life. So, whether you listen to this in your mid 30s, or 40s, wherever you are, if you actually are in the throes of perimenopause, all of these things apply. I think whilst we talk about it and share openly about how menopause can affect us, we also need to be really careful that we're not just normalising suffering. So in this podcast I am sharing with your the 5 things you can do to help making this transition easier.   Resources Book your free call with me here If you want to work with me, I have spaces in my new program, Bloom.

In this bonus episode, I'm talking all about calories and if we should pay any attention to calories at all.

In this episode, I'm sharing the ultimate guide to weight loss and the 5 things that you need to focus on in order to make your fat loss inevitable. There's a lot of contradictory information out there so I wanted to create an episode that puts all of my different thoughts and strategies in one place. If you decide that you're wanting to shift your body composition, this episode will help you decide what that might mean, what change that really requires and support you to make that choice fully. One of the things I think keeps people yo-yoing is they know that they want to lose weight, but they aren't really deciding to do it. They don't really know what it takes and I'm not saying this because it actually takes like loads of work and it's so hard but it's often not the change that people are expecting and so, they often don't make it or don't want to make it. I know that sounds really big. But it's really important, if you decide you want something that you know what that means, what the trade-offs are for that, what work is involved. There's always work involved with change and most of the time with weight loss it's as much about mindset shifting as it is external habit change for a lot of people but again everyone is different Weight loss really depends on your history of weight loss, what you have tried and how much weight you feel like you would like to release. If you're someone that wants to lose 10 pounds or 10 stone, the approach to both of those things is going to be very different but all of these components that I'm going to share with you in this episode are going to be involved no matter what. I know I've talked about it a couple of times this year, but I just wanted to put a pin in it and put all my different thoughts together so that you can get really clear and feel really empowered on what actually is going to work when it comes to body composition.

How do you become your most radiant energised self this summer? Where do you get that summer glow from? And I can tell you it's not from a five-day juice cleanse.  In this podcast episode, I'm going to share with you some of the summer glow basics. This time of year can feel really hectic. Summer is often filled with a lot of busyness like weddings and holidays. It can also be really busy for some people as well, especially if you are a parent and are navigating school holidays and time off and work. All this busyness often means that it's also a time when people are most likely to crash diet, do a juice cleanse or suddenly start going to the gym every day of the week to shape up for their bikini. There is often an attitude of ‘sack it, what's the point? I'm just going to eat ice cream. I'll start again in September or I'll start again when the kids go back or I can't look after my health right now' If that's going on in the back of your brain, I just want to call a bit of BS to that because this isn't about being on or off something. You don't need to do a juice cleanse in order to go into a bikini. If you need a new size bikini just buy one or just don't wear a bikini. Do whatever you want. It's your body. Remember that confidence is a practice. Confidence doesn't come from body size. Confidence comes from beliefs. It comes from something that we internally practice. It doesn't come from the label on your jeans or the label on your bikini. It comes from within you. So, there can be a lot going on in the summer and so in this episode, I want cut through the crap and share with you some of the things to focus on, some of the things that I will be focusing on and give you a couple of essential reminders.

Applying these principles will really help your hormones, your mental health, weight loss if that's necessary and desired, and also help with your gut health.  Let's dive in!   Resources Book your free call with me here If you want to work with me, I have spaces in my new program, Bloom.

In this episode, we are looking at beliefs because as a Nutritionist and Coach, I've worked with loads of people over the years and I spend the majority of my time with clients looking at what actions they can take, what tweaks can we make, what habits can we shift, what foods can we add in, etc. - We create a personalised plan of action. But taking the right kind of healing, wonderful actions that you need in order to be your most radiant, confident, energized, infused, calm, peaceful, happy self actually requires certain beliefs in order to take that action. This is a thing that people often miss. They blame themselves because they just can't stop eating the sugar and bread or they can't seem to meditate and they just blame the fact that they're not taking the “right” actions.  Sometimes you're not taking the right actions because you don't know what they are (and if that's the case you need to book your Well Woman Audit). Or sometimes you know what the right action is but you are still not able to do it which is where it goes deeper and we need to review your beliefs.   Resources Book your free call with me here If you want to work with me, I have spaces in my new program, Bloom.

Let's talk about what could be going on in your body. I'm a big fan of understanding your root cause. That's why I do what I do as a Holistic Nutritionist and Coach. The reason that I talk about figuring out your root cause and asking why is because I know in my own health journey (and in the countless women that I've helped) one of the biggest obstacles is for you making progress and being that well, radiant, energised version, woman of yourself is often that you don't actually understand what's going on and when you don't understand what's going on, you don't feel empowered. You feel stuck and hopeless and think there is no point in doing anything. Not having clarity will keep you stuck. It will also keep you feeling demotivated and uninspired. In this episode, we're going to be looking at what imbalances you have and the top five root causes I see with clients is because I want you to start thinking about what is at the root of your symptoms whether that's low energy, anxiety, awful periods, sluggishness, skin issues, irregularities in your period, an autoimmune condition. What could be the root causes? When you start to understand the root causes, you gain clarity. When you gain clarity, you gain motivation and feel inspired, and you feel really hopeful. These are the feelings that help you create change and take consistent action.   Resources Book your free call with me here If you want to work with me, I have spaces in my new program, Bloom.

What are the secrets to stopping bad eating habits once and for all? That's what we're looking at in this episode. I don't want you to have this ‘food drama' going on where it's good food, bad food, on a wagon, off a wagon, where you are spiraling into a pit and you're feeling really guilty about what you eat. This kind of food obsession/focus is very draining.  If you often think things like ‘I've been so good all week and I just ruined it by eating this' or ‘why can't I stop eating sugar or bread' this episode is for you. I want you to enjoy your food, I want you to find pleasure in food, maybe even comfort in food. I personally do find comfort in food sometimes and that's okay!  I don't want your relationship with food to drain your energy. Your relationship with food can have joy and creativity if you want it to, but it also needs to be kind of neutral. - The food that you eat doesn't mean anything about who you are or have any say in your worth or your value as a person but so often that's what we tie this to.  “I've eaten bad food therefore I'm a bad person” - This kind of thinking needs to stop otherwise you're really going to struggle to make progress. In this episode, I'm going to be sharing four secrets to stopping these bad eating habits or to stop spiraling into that ‘on and off / good and bad' trajectory that so many of us are on.   Resources Book your free call with me here If you want to work with me, I have spaces in my new program, Bloom.

We are talking about feeling old before your time feeling stuck in a rut and fed up and what the root cause is? What is really going on to need all those really important and valid feelings? What are some of your root causes? In this episode, I'm going to give you some clarity so that you can feel really empowered to know what is really going on and take really specific, accurate and effective action. I have conversations with women about their health and about how frustrated and burnt out they feel, how they're at a low point or they're just not feeling like the best version of themselves and it's often the sense of vagueness and the lack of clarity around what their root causes are that keep them stuck living with the same symptoms year upon year. Most of the people I talk to have been struggling with the symptoms they have for a while. So, what is it that is keeping you stuck? What is it that keeps you in that place of dis-ease around your body, that place of not feeling comfortable, not feeling radiant, not feeling confident. That's what we're diving into in this episode and I'm really excited to talk about it. It's going to be great!   Resources Book your free call with me here If you want to work with me, I have spaces in my new program, Bloom. Beat the Sweet: Sugar Detox & Recipe Collection

Why do slimming clubs and diets work and why do people keep going back to them? We're going to be looking at what essential needs these slimming clubs, diets and programs are meeting so that you can kind of take some of the good out of what is essentially a deeply flawed, oppressive system and apply them so that you can create success in your health, in your eating, in your relationship with food and your body. If you didn't know, I joined my first slimming club when I was age 11. So, I've got a good amount of experience of brainwashing, of the structure of these clubs and of how they work. Plus, I've had so many clients coming to me who have been in that cycle of joining slimming clubs on and off every few years - so let's dive into what you need to make peace with your plate, body and how to shift unwanted body fat.   Resources Book your free call with me here If you want to work with me, I have spaces in my new program, Bloom.

In this episode, I'm talking about my current glow-up plan and why I know it will work. I'm going to be sharing some of the things I'm working on and the shifts that I'm trying to create. Specifically, I'm looking to shift some of my own body composition and increase my muscle, decrease a little bit of fat and also some other areas of my current glow-up plan.  Glow-up to me means that next version of radiance, of joy, of peace, of wellness, of being that well woman. I talk so much here about being a well woman and how the world needs us all, needs more well women in it and how that is possible for you. You can be well, radiant, confident and feeling really good - That is what I preach. I'm going to let you in on the behind the scenes and more about this plan I've created for myself, why I'm really confident that it's going to work and the key part of this glow-up plan is and why I'm so confident that I'm going to get to where I want to be.

Today we are talking about the new era for women's hormones - for periods and for hormonal health because we are in a new era and enough is enough with all the shame with all the hiding. No more ‘let's not talk about the periods' or ‘Oh my gosh, she dropped a tampon on the floor' and ‘we're not talking about menopause' We're not talking about any of this stuff as much as we should be and enough is enough.   Did you know that your period and having female hormones is the reason humanity has existed for thousands of generations? How has it become something that is disdained, embarrassing, humiliating and ignored?   That is an atrocity in my books. So, I am just putting this out as his prophetic call. There's a new era for women's hormones. We're in it now. I hope you can feel it, listening to this podcast episode because your hormones can be here to enrich your life, to enrich people's lives around you, but mainly that your life can be great. If you live with hormonal imbalance, it affects your whole life. I want you to live your one awesome, brilliant, beautiful, messy, imperfect, adventurous life and it's hard to do that if you're on a cycle of pain, anxiety, heaviness, loneliness, sluggishness. It is hard because you're stuck in this vicious cycle and it doesn't need to be this way. Your hormones when they're balanced are an asset to your humanity As you can tell, I love talking about it so it's gonna be like a passionate rampage of call to action and call to arms so that you can have balanced hormones because I really do want that for you.   Resources Spring Workshops Book your free call with me here If you want to work with me, I have spaces in my new program, Bloom.

Maybe you don't need more therapy. Maybe you need to support your brain. This might be a slightly provocative title, but I have some thoughts on this as someone who has done a fair amount of therapy and values it deeply. I am not anti-therapy, I just wonder how often we are missing the practical nourishment of our brains? We usually always jump to therapy, which is well researched but how nourished is our brain with sleep, vitamins, fats, minerals, and the fuel it needs. Because I can tell you it's going to be really hard for you to create all these new thoughts and all these new habits and these beliefs and identities if your brain is poorly nourished and struggling and just surviving. In order for you to deal with whatever symptom that you're in therapy for, whether it's anxiety, depression or trauma, one of the things that you're trying to do is create more safety in your body and the easiest and simplest ways of creating more safety is making sure that your organs and your body are well nourished. So, whether you're struggling with your mental health or not, we really need to learn to support our brains and we need to learn to support our children's brains. When you have more resilience in your brain, you have more resilience in your hormones, in your gut, in your skin, in your sleep, in everything.

The pressure to be thin, this is finding a healthy body size for you - That's what we're looking at in this episode. We need to do a lot of untangling around this. For most of you listening to this, you'll have grown up heavily brainwashed by dieting culture, and the idea that thin is best, most beautiful, most worthy, it's the goal. But this is actually about being well, finding a healthy body size, being healthy and well in our bodies, and that might look different for all of us. - You can be thin and incredibly unhealthy, you can be thin and incredibly healthy, you can have a larger body and be incredibly healthy, you can have a larger body and not be healthy for you. So, how do we untangle? How do you know, if actually you do need to shift some body fat and are thinking ‘Maybe that would help my hormones and my joints to my back and my autoimmune issue'  versus ‘I've just been brainwashed into thinking thin is best'. It can feel really murky and messy. This is quite a bit of a vulnerable episode for me because I still feel this now. I still feel this pressure to be thin especially as a Holistic Nutritionist - being in the nutrition and wellness space, if I'm not careful I can feel these different comparisons and little threads and whispers in my brain that I should be thinner. Which is total BS. So, we can live in this murky place. Do I need to lose weight? Do I want to lose weight? Is that just dieting mentality? Is that actually true? Will this actually help me? It can all just all feel very overwhelming and a bit messy. So, in this episode, we're addressing decades of dieting indoctrination and how you can find a healthy body size for you. Also, if you want to know more about this, I'm doing 3 workshops starting at the end of April to help you kick-start feeling well. To kick-start your hormone balance and your healthy belly and get help you get rid of IBS and help you sort out your body composition. One of the workshops is going to be diving into body composition a little bit more because I actually have a lot, I have a very unique approach to body composition. I have a lot of tools, a lot of strategies, and a lot of practical actions that can help, but I do think this is an important area that doesn't get talked about and I want to start talking about it. I want you to be free and well in your body and that might mean for some of you shifting your body fat and for some of you that might mean accepting where you are at and I want to help you with both.

Why do you have awful PMS? Why the low mood, sore boobs, insomnia? Why do you feel like crying all the time? Why do you get really anxious or depressed? What is with PMS? Is it a normal part of being a woman or is there stuff you can do about it? Spoiler alert... There is definitely stuff you can do about it and I'm going to share the things that you can do because your periods and hormones are actually meant to be an incredible superpower. They're not meant to be this thing that limit you, hold you back, that you hate and make your life miserable. You're not meant to be on this hormonal rollercoaster that you don't feel in control of. Your hormones are here to serve you, to add to your life and not take away. I've worked with clients on their periods and hormones and I, myself have been on a rollercoaster with heavy, painful periods where I needed to be medicated for at least 3 days, just to make it through. While it's normal to have fluctuating hormones, it's not normal to feel like you are being tossed around with every part of your cycle.

Why does waking up feel so hard? Why are the mornings difficult and you feel sluggish with brain fog? Why do you really need that coffee or cup of tea in the morning? This is something that a lot of people have and a lot of clients I work with come to me and tell me that this is one of the many symptoms they have. Some people feel like they need a coffee IV trip or have to have a cup of tea, but actually, whilst it's really common to feel like this, it's not normal. - Your body should have a natural alarm clock system within itself and if that's not working and helping you to feel awake and alert in the morning, there are things going awry In this episode, I'm going to share three different areas and three different reasons why mornings feel so hard and why you feel like you have to reach for that coffee or you can't function without the tea or Redbull or whatever it is that you reach for. There are simple things that you can do, and if you implement them in the next two weeks, you could probably have better energy in the morning. Some of this stuff isn't hard. It's just that you have never been taught what's going on and what's going on behind this symptom.

In this episode, we're talking about sex! Specifically low libido which comes up a lot with my clients. Why do you have low libido and how you can increase your sex drive? Sex is something I talk about with my clients, but I haven't talked about it here on the show until now! Sex is so good for you and orgasms are incredible for your health.

I just have something I want to update you on and announce what is happening in March that I don't want you to miss out on. If you've been listening to the podcast for a long time, you need to get one of these booked in. I have created something called The Well Woman Audit, which is a free holistic health assessment, where we sit for half an hour on Zoom and we go through the holistic process and method that I have to assess what is going on with your health. Why do you feel so awful, tired, bloated and comfortable, fed up? What do your symptoms mean? And what's going to help them to go away? So, if you know, you need some support, but everything just feels really overwhelming and you're really struggling, book in for your Well Woman Audit. I talk all the time on this podcast about getting some personalised support and this is a really great way of getting started, where you can just understand more of what's going on in your body and what you might need, what lab tests you might need, what you need to focus on and we're really going on. When you understand what is going on then you can actually do something about it. These are completely free and I've got eight spaces available in March. If you have been wondering why you feel so rubbish, this is for you. I would love to chat to you, space is limited. Go to keziahall.com/audit to book your free welcome and audit in.

Why do you wake up with a flatter tummy and end the day with what feels like a huge bloated belly? This is a problem so many of my clients have and they're confused as to why this is happening. This also used to be me… I would wake up in the morning and look at my belly and think this is roughly how my belly looks/is meant to look and then at the end of the day, I would wonder what has happened to my insides. I would feel sore and would wear stretchy things because my jeans wouldn't fit anymore and I would just be so uncomfortable. Why does this happen? What's going on? Why are you bloated in the evening? We are going to dive into some of the reasons in this episode. I also want to remind you, no matter where you are in your health, if you're feeling stuck, you're feeling overwhelmed, if you're in a lot of pain, you're having a really hard time with your health, things can change. It's like when you're in the depth of winter and it's so dark and you wonder if you will ever see the sun again and then the season changes and it happens quite quickly. It's the same with your health.   Resources Book your free call with me here If you want to work with me, I have spaces in my new program, Bloom. Beat the Sweet: Sugar Detox & Recipe Collection

How do you transform your health when you are short on time or energy or money or all of the above? How do you create the change you want to see, the change in your hormones and your belly and in your mind and in your energy? How do you create that if you feel like you're lacking in one of these resources? That is what we're looking at in this episode.  I'm going to share with you a two step process that is going to help you to move through these because I know from working with hundreds of people that if you feel like you're limited in time, in energy and money, you already struggle to make progress. If you want to transform your health, if you want to create change, then know that you're going to have to overcome obstacles in order to do that. You won't create and totally transform your hormones and get rid of your IBS, for example, without overcoming and walking through resistance.  Resistance is one of the things that keeps people stuck the most. If they are really clear that they want things to change, but they're not willing to walk through the resistance or overcome the obstacles that get in the way. I don't mean that all of this stuff has to be so hard and awful, it doesn't actually need to be, but there does need to be an awareness for you to be conscious of the fact that if you're saying you want to create change and transformation in your health, there will be obstacles. So, you have to, with full awareness and consciousness, plan for how you're going to overcome those obstacles and that's what I'm going to share with you in this podcast. This episode is going to be really helpful - Because I work with hundreds of people and who are short on time, energy and money, I'm going to share the tools that I use with my clients and for myself.   Resources Book your free call with me here Beat the Sweet: Sugar Detox & Recipe Collection
