From using fish eyes in icecream, and not wasting the liver, to creating recipes with fish sperm, chef Josh Niland on his mission to revolutionise how we cook and eat fish. (R)Chef Josh Niland is devoted to changing ideas about how we cook and eat fish in the western world.He believes that rather than eating just the fillet, we should aim to eat the whole fish, as we do nose-to-tail with animals. At his restaurants he cooks with fish eyeballs, fish livers, fish heads, and milt (fish sperm).A big part of Josh's philosophy is about making fishing more sustainable. He says fishers risk their lives every, so we're duty bound to use as much of the catch as we can.Josh's approach is winning him acclaim around the world. At 30, he won an award which is considered the Oscars of food writing, the James Beard Award, for his first book, The Whole Fish Cookbook.His passion has its roots in his childhood and his own origin story. At 8 years old, Josh fell terribly ill, and during a long convalescence, realised exactly what he wanted to do when he grew up.Today, Josh has several restaurants of his own.This conversation discusses family of origin, family, ancestry, parenting, origin stories, personal stories, reflection, memoir, life story, exploration and family dynamics

Filly is joined by Jo Whitton from Quirky Cooking on today's podcast episode. Such a great convo! Filly has been cooking along with Jo ever since Filly started her own healing journey back in 2013. So it was a true pleasure to meet Jo in person and pick her brains about her “Quirky Cooking” journey. About 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 overall 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 today's episode, Jo Whitton talks to Filly about: Jo shares how she was struggling with her own “body burnout”, taking us right back to when she was young, when she struggled with putting on weight, being sick all the time, food intolerances, histamine issues, and then later on hormonal imbalances & fatigue. Things got worse after Jo had kids and she was juggling all the things. After connecting many of her health issues to food intolerances, Jo tried seeking help from doctors and dieticians, but found their advice around food wasn't helpful. Eventually she saw a naturopath and chiropractor who introduces her to wholefood eating and healing foods, and her Quirky Cooking journey began! Jo shares how her Quirky Cooking business evolved, from starting a blog with recipes and meal plans, and connecting with others struggling with food intolerances and health issues, to writing her first cookbook and evolving her business to what it is now. Jo's health improved with her change of diet, but she had a feeling that she was still only “managing” underlying health issues. In 2014, her son Isaac developed severe anxiety and OCD, which led to a deeper dive into the GAPs diet and gut health. Jo shares what this looked like for Isaac and the whole family, and the incredible healing that came from addressing gut health (Isaac went from severe OCD, anxiety and paranoia, to returning back to a “normal kid” within weeks!). Filly and Jo chat about deeper root-causes of Jo's food intolerances and poor gut health. Jo talks about her genetic mutation that makes it harder for her body to detoxify, as well as early chronic exposure to mould and farming pesticides. They also dig into Jo's inner patterns of emotional sensitivity as a kid, body image as a teenage and adult, and over-doing and people pleasing tendencies as a younger mother and business owner. Jo shares how she has navigated this side of her healing journey, to now being a healthy, confident and more balanced 50 year old (beautiful!) woman. We dive into Jo's 8-Week Gut Health Program that is helping so many people heal their guts with wholefoods and healthy living, as well as creating a supportive and nourishing space to reconnect back to healing foods and connecting. She also talks about her upcoming health retreats in Italy and Far North QLD. Filly hand-picked three listener's questions for Jo, and we finish off the convo with Jo answering the questions: “Do you ever get sick of cooking?? What do you do to give yourself a break from it occasionally? Or do you just enjoy it so much that you never stop?!” ~ Sarah Scrimegeur “Do you have any tricks to get my 7yo to try food that isn't pasta or rice? If so you are my new hero” ~ Andrew Wheatley “Time poor, mum with special needs kids. What first steps I should take to help my exhausted body?” ~ @Natural.learning.life A very big thank you again to the super inspiring and big-hearted Jo for coming on the Ending Body Burnout Show!

Welcome to Episode 38 of Quirky Cooking Chats (Season 2): Healing JIA (Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis). Over the next few weeks Jo will be joined by Elyse Comerford, Integrative Nutritionist, GAPS Practitioner, and owner of Well Belly Clinic, and they will be interviewing past members of their online program, The Gut Health Formula. Jo and Elyse have been running this program for the past five years, three or four times a year, and have seen the program impact positively on thousands of people's lives. They started to think they really should share some of the stories of the people who have worked through the program, because they know how powerful it can be to hear of someone else's healing experience. Hearing the story of someone who has healed health issues similar to yours can give you the hope and encouragement you need to begin changing your life. And Jo and Elyse are passionate about providing the practical 'how-tos' and support for those who are ready to make a change. Listen in as Jo and Elyse chat to Steph about her three-year-old daughter's story of healing from juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It's not the end of the story, but the beginning is already so beautiful and hopeful, it will bring tears to your eyes. If you know someone with an autoimmune disease, or autoimmune arthritis, we hope you will share this video with them and help them to find hope also.

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.

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! Happy listening &  look forward to continuing the convo across on my @GlowingMumma.ThrivingBubba insta :) ______________________________________________________________________________ PODCAST SHOWNOTES: https://www.glowingmumma.com/blog/episode85  GLOWING MUMMA INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/glowingmumma.thrivingbubba/ BACK TO THE PADDOCK YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@BackToThePaddock 

Welcome to Episode 28 of Quirky Cooking Chats (Season 2), with Jo Whitton: Local Food, Coffee & The Bush Beef Project - Oliver James. {Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/26q3KZarJzs} Jo interviews Far North Queensland hospitality creative, Oliver James, about his experience in the Australian food and coffee scene and his involvement in the "Bush Beef" project with the indigenous owners of Normanby Station in Cape York. Oliver (Olly) James is a World Barista Competition Judge (and founder of the Tattooed Sailor Coffee Roasters) and is a keen supporter of local, indigenous produce and direct farm-sourced ingredients. Recently he was invited to help showcase the *Bush Beef from Normanby Station and help to get this uniquely flavoursome, sustainable meat out to the market. Jo and Olly discuss subjects ranging from the amazing variety of produce grown in Far North Queensland, locally-grown coffee and wild 'bush beef', to vanilla, seasonal cooking and how a trip to Ethiopia opened Olly's eyes to a wider definition of local food. Olly started making coffee at 9 years old in his Father's NSW countryside, garden-to-plate restaurant. In 2009 he opened his first cafe, Caffiend in Cairns CBD. Since then, Olly has opened several cafe venues, and currently operates Caffiend, Guyala Cafe, Newell Street Cafe, Tattooed Sailor Coffee Roasters, Cairns Coffee School and his hospitality consulting business. You can find out more about Olly's work, his cafes and the Bush Beef project below: Guyala cafe (https://www.guyalacafe.com.au/) and Caffiend cafe (https://www.caffiend.com.au/). Food inspired by indigenous ingredients and an international culinary influence. With a World Barista Competition Judge at the helm, the coffee is a focus at both cafes! Tattooed Sailor Coffee Roasters & Coffee School + Newell St Cafe (https://www.tattooedsailor.com.au/). Specialty coffee roasters sourcing delicious coffee from Far North Queensland and all over the world. Tattooed Sailor coffee is made from sustainable and ethical green beans wherever possible, keeping in mind the impact that purchasing decisions have on coffee growing communities. Bush Beef (https://www.normanbybushbeef.com/) originates from some of the cleanest and most remote paddocks in the world and is an ethical choice since herds aren't confined; they live freely, roam freely and eat freely. This produces sustainable clean meat, free of preservatives, chemicals and hormones from any commercial process. (Jo will be sharing more about this project on the podcast soon!) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jo Whitton is the founder of Quirky Cooking (https://quirkycooking.com.au/) and the author of three best-selling cookbooks. She lives on the Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland, where she runs her online business, develops recipes that often feature local ingredients (including produce from her backyard garden) and teaches whole-food cooking classes (online, and throughout Australia and overseas). Her recipes reflect her passion for food that nourishes and heals, with plenty of flavour and fun!

Welcome to Episode 21 of Quirky Cooking Chats (Season 2), with Jo Whitton: "Cultured Ice Cream, with Wal Foster of Natural ice Cream Australia" From his iconic, blue, ice-cream van in Brunswick Heads, chef Wal Foster of Natural Ice Cream Australia creates unique, small-batch cultured ice creams that incorporate native Australian flavours like wattleseed, mountain pepper, tamarind, rosella, strawberry gum, smoked paperbark, pandanus, finger lime and aniseed myrtle. In this episode, Jo and the Quirky Cooking team stop by to visit Wal while on an events trip, and Jo chats to Wal about the story behind Natural Ice Cream Australia. Wal shares his interest in probiotic and prebiotic foods and "food as medicine" and talks about how his focus has changed over the last few years from creating sugar-laden French classics and working long hours, to creating one-of-a-kind, gut-healthy ice creams (with indigenous ingredients that he often forages himself), while living a slower, healthier life that includes time to surf and spend time with friends. When you stop by Natural Ice Cream Australia for a treat, expect it to also be a learning experience. Wal takes the time to share the fascinating stories behind each ice cream as he serves them, including the ingredients (which may include native fruits you've never heard of before!), where they're sourced, how the ice cream is made and why it's good for you. Wal's amazing creations always bring a lot of joy and delight to his customers, many who may have never really thought about the health of their microbiome before visiting his little blue van! Wal generously shared a recipe for honey-sweetened, cultured ice cream with mountain pepper and roasted apricots in Jo's latest cookbook, Simple, Healing Food (quirkycooking.com.au/simplehealingfood), so it was a fun idea to have a cookbook signing and ice cream party at Wal's van in Brunswick Heads. If you have this cookbook, this recipe is a must try! And if you're ever in Wal's neighbourhood, make sure you look him up and enjoy one of his mind-blowingly delicious treats. You'll be glad you did.

Welcome to Episode 10 of Quirky Cooking Chats (Season 2), with Jo Whitton: "Working Through Anxiety - Part 1" {VOTE for Quirky Cooking in the ORIAS Awards: https://bit.ly/QCvoteforme} Anxiety is a normal part of life - we all go through it at one time or another and usually it hangs around for a while then moves on... But sometimes anxiety really digs its' heels in and refuses to leave, causing a chronic state of stress, low energy, lack of motivation and a feeling of helplessness. This is a time to get some professional help and support so that it doesn't take you down the rabbit hole towards depression. In this episode, Jo talks about her experience with anxiety, stress, burnout and chronic illness (in her own life and in her family), and what she has found most helpful for working through anxiety and learning to respond in a healthy way to the stresses of everyday life. Jo recommends talking to a health practitioner for medical advice (supplements, diet, counselling, support, etc), and will have a practitioner sharing her advice on Part 3 of this episode. In Parts 1 and 2, Jo shares her own simple mindset and lifestyle tips that can help you to begin heading in the right direction. She shares her thoughts on: what anxiety looks like (and red flags to help you know if you're starting down this track!) when anxiety is helpful, and when it becomes a problem - the effect of chronic, low-grade stress and anxiety on physical health the mind-body connection, and how you can use that to your advantage to reduce anxiety the importance of gut health (listen to the podcast "Gut Health 101 with Elyse Comerford" for simple steps to improve gut health) reducing toxins in the home (listen to the podcast "Low Tox Life with Alexx Stuart") the importance of clean water (listen to the podcast "Answering Your Water Filter Questions") getting out into nature, and the benefits of sunshine (there are many articles & studies online about the importance of nature and sunlight for reducing anxiety and improving health and wellbeing) - knowing your life has purpose and meaning learning to let go of things you can't change learning to ask for help the importance of 'talking it out' working through anxiety rather than practising 'avoidance' don't believe everything you think! slowing down and creating space to work through anxious thoughts (plus some useful questions to journal about, from the book "Be Calm: Proven Techniques to Stop Anxiety Now" by Jill Weber) the need of connection and community for wellbeing and mental health ...

Helen is a great mate of mine and she inspires me to live my best life regularly! We got to sit down and have a chat again to talk all things getting out of your comfort zone to grow. Helen Marshall is a certified Primal Health Coach & founder of the grain free food range Primal Alternative.  Helen hosts the Primal Alternative Podcast on the Wellness Couch which is the number one ranked health and wellness podcast station in Australia.   She is a Motivational Speaker on grass roots community centric change, overcoming limiting beliefs and creating an exceptional life. Faced with a health crisis which included chronic nausea, constipation, insomnia, physical pain, headaches, brain fog, depression, anxiety and phobias, Helen returned to a diet of plants and animals to reclaim her health.   She ditched grains, sugar and seed oils and embraced sunshine, sleep, nature and connection. Helen qualified as a Primal Health Coach to let other women know that they were not on their own on their health journey and that they too could reclaim their health and change their life just with some diet and lifestyle tweaks and community behind them. But she got kick back, Helen’s clients told her that going grain free was hard – their were time poor and found themselves falling off the wagon.   People found it hard to go without pizza, bread, cookies and lollies. So Helen offered to create a range of Primal Alternatives to the foods people love to make going grain free easy. Helen was told that her products were life changing and she felt compelled to get the range to the whole of Australia but the thought of factories didn’t light her up and besides – she didn’t have any capital. Helen was inspired to share her successful baking business so that other women with a passion for clean living could start their own home business, doing what they love and make a difference in their community. The Primalista Baking Licence launched on Boxing Day 2016 and to date over 140 incredible women have said yes to this opportunity.   Primal Alternative now has an online store and over 250 stockists across Australia, the UK, New Zealand and the US. In 2017 Quirky Cooking collaborated with Primal Alternative to bring a ready made version of their Life Changing Dough to the community.  Before ditching the rat race, Helen was a Fitness Instructor and Personal trainer then a Business Manager for a leading recruitment company in the city.  Helen has worked with women all of her life listening to their desires around health, work and lifestyle and has combined those skills to bring her greatest contribution yet – the Primalista Baking Licence. Helen lives on 100 acres of wilderness in Albany, WA with her husband Mike and their children Sam & Milly. She likes pilates, massage, coffee with her bestie, sunbathing, meditation, walks in nature and champagne in the spa.

This week on the show a dear friend joins me to discuss openly and honestly what it is to really struggle with yours and your child’s health, how surrounding yourself with supportive people and practitioners is key and then we go on to have delicious chats about Christmas festivities, our menu plans, cooking from scratch to success and more. Jo Whitton is an author, businesswoman and founder of popular health and cooking platform, Quirky Cooking. Growing up, Jo struggled with chronic health issues. As she watched her children grow up, she noticed that they struggled with similar health conditions and began to research ways in which they could improve their health, through a whole-food and low-allergen diet. In 2008, Jo created her blog, Quirky Cooking, as an outlet to document and share her learnings about healing with whole foods. Quickly, Jo became known for her honest approach to health and life, and Quirky Cooking became a go-to platform for easy and delicious recipes. She is the best selling author of 2 cookbooks already with a 3rd due out next year.

Episode 19: Featuring Jo Whitton from Quirky Cooking.     http://thewellnesscouch.com/category/aqj   http://www.quirkycooking.com.au/about/   http://unleashyourgeneius.com/   You must listen to this episode if you are a Mom or Dad, or anyone healing from gut issues.   Most of your health will come from the foods you eat. The nutrients that you provide your body by way of ingesting the essential nutrients our body requires in order to operate properly and express optimal health.   You are genetically designed to express this health status, and isn’t supposed to be hard either. In fact, it is quite easy.   Every one of us has the blueprint on our DNA to be strong like the hunter and gatherers were for 2 million years.   Too many toxins and not enough essential nutrients create an environment that provides our genes and our DNA the worst building blocks, and won’t allow the body to function at its optimal level. This leads to sickness and disease.   Peak performance, optimal health, and just simply living a healthy life requires peak provisions of essential nutrients. Nutrients that are from the most natural sources possible. The fewer middlemen between the earth and your plate the better.   Put simply, just eat real foods, mostly plants, healthy meats from healthy sources, seafood, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Pretty easy!   If all of this sounds too hard, just have a listen to Jo’s “Tough Love”. It will give you the kick you need to get what you want from your health, and the health of your family.   Jo Whitton provides us with the tools, knowledge, and strategies to provide ourselves health care from the kitchen. And she does it in the kindest, most generous of ways. You can feel her sincerity and loveliness in her voice. No wonder her podcast is doing so well!   If you can find a way to make cooking simpler and less stressful it will be a valuable skill to use for the rest of your life.   I am so lucky to have Jo on the show today to give us her personal story of how she helped with her sons’ gut issues and heal from a severe case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.   Enjoy,   Dr Brian   Guest:   Jo Whitton, from Quirky cooking:   http://thewellnesscouch.com/category/aqj   http://www.quirkycooking.com.au/about/   http://unleashyourgeneius.com/
