Today I'm joined by a financial superstar and all round fashion-icon, Melissa Browne. Mel was a guest in my very first season and I wanted to bring her back to talk about our topic of the moment - reinvention. Mel is an award-winning, ex-accountant and ex-financial advisor who had her own successful business for almost 20 years. She has written 4 books about business and money including the global bestseller, Unf*ck Your Finances. So, she has the theory. But she also has the life experience. Mel has a fascinating and yet, unexpected story as she came back from being completely broke in her early thirties. After her divorce, she gave all of her money to charity (a move she instantly regretted), and then completely reinvented her life, again, where she is now a multi-millionaire. She gained her financial independence from the strategies she put in place for herself and now she teaches others how to do this too. Today, Mel is a financial educator who believes that understanding how to build wealth shouldn't be abdicated or just for the select few who can afford it – but is something that everyone can achieve.Mel is regularly asked to comment on money and finances making regular TV and radio appearances including Triple J's The Hack, the Today Show, Weekend Sunrise, Weekend Today, Sky Business and The Daily Edition. She has also been featured in or written articles for a variety of places including CEO Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Who, Vogue, Yahoo Finance and had a fortnightly column in the Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne's Age for 7  years.Mel is not only whip smart, but hilarious and super entertaining - so if you don't already follow her online, you must as you'll not only learn a bunch, you'll laugh out loud from her (& Lawsie, her work wife's) daily missives. She's a great mate of mine & I'm delighted to sit down with her and talk on this wonderful topic of ‘reinvention'....In this conversation, Mel Browne shares her journey of reinvention, discussing the various personal and professional transformations she has undergone. She reflects on the catalysts for change in her life, including her divorce and the realization of her true passions. Mel emphasises the importance of investing in oneself, the power of implementation, and the necessity of embracing failure as a part of growth. Her insights provide valuable lessons for women in business and anyone looking to transform their lives. In this conversation, Mel Browne and Michelle discuss the challenges women face with perfectionism, the benefits of embracing a portfolio career, and the importance of financial literacy. They explore how testing ideas can lead to successful reinvention without the need to quit one's job. Mel shares her journey in creating a financial literacy course aimed at empowering women to take control of their finances and encourages listeners to dare to be wealthy.Key Resources from Mel are here;-https://www.melissabrowne.com.au/onequestion You can find Mel on insta at @melbrowne.money and online at www.melissabrowne.com.auHead to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today's guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCoxConnect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcoxConnect with Michelle on Facebook here - @michellejcoxAND, if you have a burning topic you'd love people to talk more about, or know someone who'd be great to come on the One Question podcast, please get in touch;- hello@michellejcox.com

I'm James Valentine and in this series we're going to ask the question, is this normal? I mean, as we age, stuff happens to us. Our bodies change, things fall off, we get crook, stuff doesn't work as well as it used to. There's nothing we can do about it, we're getting older, we're ageing. But which bits are normal? Which bits do we have no control over? Which bits can we do something about? That's the kind of questions that we're going to be asking in this series, Is This Normal? of Life's Booming. Now, of course, if you enjoy this series, leave us a review. Tell all your families and friends about it. And we want to hear from you as well. You can contribute to this. If you've got questions about things in particular that you want to know, perhaps there's some particular wear and tear happening to you, let us know. We'd love to see if we can answer that question in the series. We're going to look at things like menopause, gut health, mental health, lots of other burning questions. So, think about those areas and if there's something in there that's specific to you that you'd like us to cover, let us know. On this episode, Getting to the guts of it, we spotlight gut health, the normal, and the more unusual health issues connected to our digestive systems. We speak to clinical nutritionist and the author of The Gut Repair Plan, Sarah Di Lorenzo, plus Melbourne chef and founder of Made by Tobie, a home delivery meal service, Tobie Puttock. Sarah Di Lorenzo: Hi, thank you so much for having me.  James Valentine: Why are you a nutritionist? I can't even say it! Sarah Di Lorenzo: Nutritionist, a clinical nutritionist. Why? I started with my own gut health, really, was what drove me into becoming a clinical nutritionist. I just did really notice around the age of 15 that foods affected me differently. I noticed it with white bread in particular, and I would go home and say to my dad, who's a psychiatrist, a doctor, and I'd just say, I don't feel well when I eat that food. And he goes, oh yeah, yeah, we all feel like that from bread. It's probably a Greek thing, whatever. You'll be fine. Don't worry. And so I watched my dad always living his life bloated, and I was like, yeah, yeah, it's not great.  And then when I was in Italy when I was 18 for a few months, it was the most incredible experience that I clearly just couldn't enjoy, because I had gut issues, I had non-coeliac gluten insensitivity, self diagnosed. And then I ended up after that, when I came back at that young age, I was doing my science degree at Sydney Uni, I came back and I was like, I need to work on my gut because my quality of life is not great. And so it dominated my life and I just couldn't enjoy my life. And so that's what I started doing was working on my own gut and I'm 51. So that's like 30 years ago, more so 32 years ago, I started, I realised then, so I went through my own gut healing journey and have spent a lot of those younger years just looking at my own rest and retest, trying different foods, creating menus, creating diets, I just did it as a hobby and a passion.  And then I went on to study nutritional medicine after that, when I realised that it was really my calling. I feel like I'm a healer. I do. I've healed myself and now I want to heal everyone else. James Valentine: Now, let's go to chef Tobie. Hello Tobie.  Tobie Puttock: Hello, how are you today?  James Valentine: Thank you so much for joining us. It's fantastic to get some time with you. This is something that's close to you. You think about the gut a lot. Tobie Puttock: My wife, when we first met, she was very controlled by her stomach issues. So obviously all tied in with the gut. She had food poisoning when she was younger so badly she was hospitalised for a few days – not from my cooking! I didn't know her at this stage, it was in the UK, and it really screwed her gut up.  So I remember for the first about three or four years of our relationship, everything was dictated by that. And it was IBS basically. And I didn't really understand, I'd never met anyone with such an issue before. And, you know, we'd have dinner plans, we'd be all ready to go. And suddenly her stomach would start to feel uncomfortable and we'd have to cancel dinner. Our whole life revolved around the stomach issues and after being together a few years, I had the opportunity to write my first cookbook. We were living in the UK at the time, we came back to Australia and I met an amazing person named Dr Sue Shepherd. She goes under a different surname these days, but she is kind of a guru in the gut health space and she spent some time with my wife and basically together we adjusted her diet and she solved her own issues. So she no longer has IBS. James Valentine: That's great. And it's come on a lot, hasn't it? Our consciousness of the gut, eating for our gut biome, I would say it's a way of thinking about food that's come up about in the last decade or so. Tobie Puttock: Yeah, 100 per cent. Being in food for my career and my whole life revolves around food, I see things jumping in and out of fashion and gut health has been a huge fashionable topic for a long time, and now it seems to have mellowed out into actual just fact. People accept that your gut is super important and eating the right foods and gut health really can make a huge difference to your life. James Valentine: Yep. Well, let's plan a diet, a pantry for good gut health. What kind of dishes, what kind of ingredients do you focus on if you're thinking gut health?  Tobie Puttock: Well, first of all, I try and eat as little processed foods as possible. So I also have quite an empty pantry at most times, but obviously fermented foods are fantastic, I do a lot of fermenting. After I jump off here, I will be going to make sauerkraut this morning, but things like kimchi, most fermented foods, are fantastic. And then there's going to be, if you do have things like IBS, there's going to be a lot of trigger foods that will be quite acidic as well. But yeah, definitely for me, we have a lot of sort of robust greens, lots of cavolo nero, Tuscan kale, brussels sprouts and all the good stuff there. James Valentine: Right. I like that description of robust greens. These are the tough ones.  Tobie Puttock: All the brassicas. So we're steering, you know, I think things like cos lettuce are fantastic and they're sexy and rocket lettuce and all that kind of stuff. But I remember a few years ago, it was probably 2013, I made a big life change, I just got spat out of kitchens, I was probably quite unhealthy without realising it, I was just going through life as a lot of people did and I was insanely stressed. And I started doing a lot of yoga, and my wife, at the time, was seeing a personal trainer and trying to get shredded. And she was going to the personal trainer a couple of times a week, but coming home to eating my Italian food that I cook in restaurants, which I now wasn't cooking because I wasn't in restaurants. And she gave me a list, this amazing list of all the things we can have as much as we want of, things we should never have, and things we can have in moderation. And we started cooking from that list. And I should also pop in there that we tried to conceive and it didn't happen naturally. And they tried to tell us – well, they did tell us – that IVF would be the only way. And with a total diet overhaul cutting out all processed foods. And I don't want to say that kale saved our life or anything, but it kind of gave, you know, kind of did a little bit. I lost probably six kilos of body fat, my wife lost 10, and she wasn't big to begin with. We conceived naturally, and we kind of look at those as some of the fondest years of our life. And then we had a kid and started eating junk food, and did the reverse of that because we were young parents – or new parents, I should say. Yeah.  James Valentine: Yeah. All hail kale, I say. So Sarah, what happens to our gut as we age? What are the sort of things we need to be aware of as we're 50, 60, 70? What's happening? Sarah Di Lorenzo: A lot's happening. I mean, I kind of noticed this when I thought, even myself, like it ages. It's as simple as our gut does age. We don't produce as much saliva as we used to. But if you think about eating, say a highly processed meal when you were young and be like, oh that was okay. Or even getting blind drunk when you were young. And then you think, well, that was okay. You go and now in your 50s, you go and eat a big processed meal and you're like, oh gosh, you kind of really do feel it. Or you go out and have a big night on the drink. The next day people will notice it.  James Valentine: The next two days.  Sarah Di Lorenzo: People notice it. They really feel it. So look, it ages. At the end of the day, when you really look at it, first of all, we don't, as I mentioned, there's just not as much saliva. People don't produce as much of the digestive enzymes, so like lactase, so people notice things like, oh I'll hear things in clinic, I just don't really seem to process dairy like I did when I was young. Well, cause you're not producing enough digestive enzymes, so it comes that whole process ages as well, and there's just, even the way our peristalsis, the whole system is… James Valentine: Is that swallowing? Sarah Di Lorenzo: Yes, swallowing issues, chewing. People tend to change their diet as they're older. If they've got things like dentures or dental issues, it can start right from there. So, the microbiome changes. The microbiome is the habitat which our microbiota live in. So I always explain that to people.  James Valentine: This is all the bacteria in our gut.  Sarah Di Lorenzo: Bacteria, fungi, viruses.  James Valentine: This is the new thing. This is the newer discovery. This is not stuff we understood. You know, when you were first going, I don't feel so good.  Sarah Di Lorenzo: Correct. Yeah, this is all new stuff and it is fabulous. When I was actually reading all this stuff and I was putting this book together, I'm just in awe of our gut. Like, I'm so impressed by it. I really am. The residents that live there, that I might point out, our gut bacteria, weigh two kilos. Yeah. Yeah.  James Valentine: Isn't that amazing? Two kilos of biomass of living stuff.  Sarah Di Lorenzo: I find that fascinating.  James Valentine: So like, do they change if we don't look after them?  Sarah Di Lorenzo: Correct.  James Valentine: Or do we need to do stuff? Are we trying to keep a youthful gut or do we need to understand our maturing gut? Sarah Di Lorenzo: Well, there is that, but look, we do need to take care of it. And this is one thing that I see as people age what they don't do is they don't create that diversity. So our gut bacteria love, love, love a diversity in our diet. So as we age, we tend to eat the same things every day. People have the same breakfast every day, the same lunch, the same dinner. They don't eat a lot.  Now, it's actually, and that's one of the biggest problems. So as you age, it's really important to make sure that you've got that diversity to feed that good bacteria in our gut. We want those colonies broad. We want to feed, because all the different bacteria do different things. Like we've got a bacteria, which is my favourite one, called akkermansia muciniphila. James Valentine: But that's easy for you to say. Say that again. It's a what?  Sarah Di Lorenzo: Akkermansia. It's my favourite bacteria. I love this bacteria. We want lots of it, so akkermansia muciniphila is one that keeps us at a healthy weight. And then you've got like bifidobacterium, which actually helps break down the food we eat. I know you're looking at, if anyone could see James right now! James Valentine: No, it's impressive. Okay, very, very good. It's like when people see birds and they use the Latin name. It's like, very good. Well done.  Sarah Di Lorenzo: Now I've lost my train of thought. Yeah, sorry. Okay, as we age… James Valentine: Yeah, as we age. I think what I'm interested in is, like, with a lot of things we want to stay, we need to stay, youthful. Is our gut like that, or should we be allowing our gut to mature? Sarah Di Lorenzo: I would want to be keeping my gut as young as possible. Definitely. The other thing we forget is medications that people take as they age. So medications can really impact gut health. And we know that. People often take laxatives when they're older. There is actually this recent study that came out that showed that people who use laxatives – not stool-bulking laxatives, but actual laxatives – have a 51% increase in their risk of dementia, which shows that gut brain axis. So there's a lot of things that can, stress is a really big one. It can be stress with ageing, stress for whatever, that will impact gut health. But it is creating that diversity and we only eat I think, 75% of the adult population only eat from 12 different plant types over the course of the week. That's some research that I have seen. So one great thing that you can do to start to improve and feed all those different colonies down there, like akkermansia, and grow more of them, the one thing you can do is make sure, a little test you can do, is make sure you're eating 30 different plant species over the course of the week. James Valentine: And Tobie, how do you approach getting that diversity in the diet?  Tobie Puttock: Yeah, there's a lot to be said for it. General nutrition, I have a basic understanding of, but my main thing is making things taste good. Which is what I wanted to do with my book, The Chef Gets Healthy, which was about making everyday food. Because I think as a society, we tend to look for easy answers for big problems.  And I remember at one stage, the fried southern chicken burgers were trendy. And then on the other end of the scale, you had Pete Evans pushing these really super hardcore diets like the paleo diets. And I always think that the answers lie somewhere in the middle. You don't need to go to these extremes. James Valentine:  Okay. Well, give us some insights into what you do with these sort of things. Cause I think sometimes people say, look, the fermented foods, kimchi, sauerkraut, they're good. And then you should be eating more of the brassicas, the broccoli and the sprouts and all that sort of stuff. But if you're used to the steak and veg, if you're used to the pizza, you don't know what to do with this stuff. Tobie Puttock:  Yeah, it's true. And I believe that you can still eat all that. You just need to add in vegetables. So I think as a society we're getting better at this, but until recently we've eaten way too much protein. Aussies tend to eat beef or lamb, or similar sort, four to five nights a week and even more seven nights a week. I remember speaking to somebody saying, oh, you should have fish once or twice a week. And they had no idea. They never cooked fish. They had no idea of the health benefits of that as well. But my belief is that we need to pull back on eating meat, substantially, for so many reasons, you know starting with environmental, but also our health as well. So I believe a great diet and a lot of research has been done on this and proven, the Lancet report has shone some great light on this, which is that we should probably eat a vegetarian diet three to four nights a week. Eating meat is expensive, so you can save that money that you're not spending by cutting meat out of the diet three to four nights a week. And then when you do eat meat, eat a fantastic cut of meat that's sort of grass fed, comes from a reputable supplier, therefore we're not fuelling the inhumane farming trade. And you will notice huge differences. Now, simple ways to cook vegetables. I've worked in very technical kitchens and it's funny, because since I've been out of kitchens since 2012, I've often realised that cooking vegetables, the easiest way, is often the most flavoursome and nutrient-beneficent.  So, I grew up with a British father who grew up in a family which was often, I think, frozen vegetables, or vegetables that were cooked until all the chlorophylls and colours had gone out and they were grey. I do the polar opposite of that.  So, I'm not into a raw diet, but I think you need to cook vegetables until, for example, with kale. Let me talk you through one of my favourite quick dishes. So we do a breakfast, which is, baked eggs and kale, and fantastic. And my meat-eating friends who I've given this to just go bananas for it.  So it starts in a pan with a little bit of olive oil, and garlic and chili – so aglio e olio base – and you sauté that off over a low-to-medium heat until the garlic starts to soften and become translucent, at which stage you break in some kale – and cavolo nero, which is a type of Tuscan kale, is also fantastic. Even more robust leaves than the traditional green kale that we're familiar with now, with those stems which are really fibrous. I normally leave those out and keep them for a juice or similar, but they've got a lot going on, our body needs them, but for this particular dish, not the best. So break off the leaves, sauté them around, mix them through with the oil and the garlic and the chili until it just starts to green, at which stage you can crack a couple of eggs into there. And then normally over the top of that, I break some feta cheese into there, dabble a little bit of natural Greek yogurt, some hemp seeds, a little good pinch of sea salt and pepper, bung the whole thing into the oven just until the eggs are set. We're talking two, three minutes.  So you can make this whole dish, if you're good, in under 10 minutes. And it's got a lot going on there. You're going to get all that beautiful fibrous veg from the kale in there. And the protein from the eggs, the hemp seeds are fantastic, and the whole thing just tastes amazing. It's a delicious breakfast. But kale can be really, really easy to cook. I mean, it's as simple as sautéing it down for a couple of minutes.  James Valentine: So Sarah, tell us more about feeding our gut bacteria.  Sarah Di Lorenzo: So we want to feed these guys with prebiotics. So that's what they eat. Bacteria need these prebiotic-rich foods, which are the foods people just don't get enough of.  They might go and take probiotic supplements, but you need the pre's to feed the pro's. It's as simple as that. Prebiotic-rich foods, fibre, that we can't digest as humans, but the bacteria feast on them. And so we want all of those wonderful foods. Now things like asparagus, apples are great, onions, garlic, oats, and all great foods, sourdough is another good one. All excellent foods that we should really be eating. Leek, Jerusalem artichoke, they're all coming to my mind now. You can see my mind is flowing in with them. I've unlocked that part of my brain, which is full of prebiotic information and let it flow out. Yeah. So we need to actually feed them to grow. And in turn, their waste product, the bacteria waste, is what we as humans thrive on, it's critical for our overall health and wellness. And we call their waste, which is called a postbiotic, is actually a short-chain fatty acid, or it's called butyrate. So butyrate feeds our colon cells. It makes the wall of our gut strong and firm, which is what we want. We don't want it inflamed and leaky, where you get what's called leaky gut syndrome that leads into migraines and headaches. And so that's called post. I'm obsessed with butyrate. I just want so much butyrate. I would drink it. So you can see that's how it all kind of works.  James Valentine: Yeah. Yeah. And so we should be getting all this through foods, not through supplements, pills, little liquids, you know, things that are meant to sort of put it there. Just do it through the stuff that you eat? Sarah Di Lorenzo: Correct. But if you were, for example, someone who was taking a course of antibiotics, because the antibiotics, whilst they're amazing and they save lives and they wipe out the bad, they also wipe out the good. So if I was to have to go on a course about antibiotics, I would take probiotics, I would take them in supplement form, but I would also make sure I was feeding that, just having a bowl of oats for breakfast or having some asparagus, asparagus is a good one, or just throwing a lot of onion and garlic in my food, making up shots of different… just adding it in where you can. James Valentine: This is so much when we start to hear, the Mediterranean diet, that it covers all of these things, doesn't it? You cook with onion and garlic, there's oil on stuff. You will have sort of an oats or, you know, muesli type thing for breakfast or a cookie that's like that. This is the stuff.  Sarah Di Lorenzo: Correct. And also all the legumes you forget that are so high in fibre. I think Westerners just forget about legumes. And they are…  James Valentine: This is your chickpea, your beans, all that sort of stuff.  Sarah Di Lorenzo: Yes. Lentils and chickpeas and beans, and they dominate the Mediterranean diet and people shy away from them because when they eat them – and this is the whole problem with fibre. We don't eat enough fibre. That is a huge problem. Part of the ageing process is people just don't eat enough fibre. Because when you introduce fibre to people that aren't used to it, they get flatulent and distended. And they go, oh I've got FODMAPs or I've got this. And I'm like, no, no, no. You just had too much fibre, too quickly. You have to introduce fibre slowly to people to get them over it. That's what I've written. The four-week plan of my book is just that slow introduction of fibre so people don't get those symptoms.  But it is a common base of the Mediterranean diet and the gut bacteria, it's all about feeding these guys, making them happy, making them grow, making all the good ones grow. And in turn, supporting our health. It's pretty simple, but when you do the deep dive into it and look at all the different types of bacteria and as you can see, there's bacteria for mental health, bacteria for weight, bacteria for skin, bacteria for heart. And so we want lots of them, not just feeding one, which is why you can see that diversity is really important. James Valentine: So I suppose I'm thinking that we had a long period of time where we worried about the heart. You know, there was a lot of focus on the heart. The heart's the thing. You have to deal with that. And then we've had a period of time where, look, it's weight. Weight is most important. You know, you've got to keep the weight off and make sure that you're at the right weight and that sort of stuff. Is the gut just sort of the trend? Is it just the sort of the thing that everyone's talking about now? Because we're bored of talking about the heart or something like that. Is there more to it than that?  Sarah Di Lorenzo: I think that when you think about trends and fashions in health, like, okay, well, cardiovascular disease, clearly it's a leading cause of death and disability. So it's always going to be there. I do feel there are trends. I think trends are what you've got to be really careful of. Like at the end of the day, the heart's the centre, I mean, you have to take care of your heart health, and it still is that, it is the leading cause. And then weight is something that I feel it's evergreen. Look, at the end of the day, excess weight is inflammation, inflammation drives disease, it's just as simple as that. Any patient that comes into my clinic, and sits down, and, oh hi Sarah, look, I'm here for my menopause, my gut, my cardiovascular, and I've seen them 15 to 20 [times], and I will say to them, okay, I'm not going to sit here as your practitioner, and just do a treatment protocol for your cardiovascular condition.  Because you're carrying 15 kilos of weight.  So it all ties in together, so every single patient that sees me has to get to a healthy weight, because I know that it's so inflammatory. Adipose tissue is like this. It's big, it's proinflammatory cytokines, it is inflammation. Inflammation drives disease. And number-one of the diseases is depression. Before you start going to cardiovascular, diabetes, thyroid, arthritis, or before you even go down that path, metabolic syndrome, it is the driver. And as far as gut goes, people who are overweight have poor gut health. I'll tell you an exception to that though. So people who are overweight, talk to them about getting to a healthy weight and working on increasing that. The only exception would be, when I think, cause I'm right now, I'm just scanning all my patients that are currently in my clinic while I'm talking to you, is someone who would come in with H pylori [helicobacter pylori], and undiagnosed. So I had a lady who brought her husband in. And this is quite a funny story. They're both 45, great couple, no kids, living their best lives. They don't want kids because they're fabulous and they want to just travel and enjoy. She can't cope with the amount of times he farts in a day. So she's just like, he farts way too much. James Valentine: How many would be too much?  Sarah Di Lorenzo: Well, I'm going to ask, I'm going to do a pop quiz on you James. Okay. How many farts do you think we should be doing a day as humans?  James Valentine: I would go for around the dozen.  Sarah Di Lorenzo: Not bad. Okay, 15 to 22, so yeah, you weren't far off. This guy was just farting all day. So I asked her that and she said it's constant. Like it's probably every five minutes. And she said it's actually ruining our marriage. I said, yeah, fair enough. And she can't sleep in the same room as this poor guy. So healthy weight, fit guy, Lebanese, so ate a lot of raw meat. I knew that there was something going on. I knew he had a parasite of some kind. So I just sent him off for a test, came back, he had helicobacter pylori. And so we cleared up the H pylori, their marriage is back on track.  James Valentine: And he's back to the 15 or 20 that we should all be doing… Sarah Di Lorenzo: …instead of doing about a thousand. So that would be the exception. And what I do see is people that come back in from travelling to places like Indonesia, who come back and they've had Bali Belly or different things, so they're the ones I also see, which again, where a parasite has impacted their gut, and it does ruin people's lives.   James Valentine: Let's say I'm 70, I've never done any of this. Can I change? Is my gut going to change? Is it all too late?  Sarah Di Lorenzo: It's never too late. I don't care, like actually, I had someone write to me this morning, because I did a post about how much I hate artificial sweeteners, and they said, is it too late? I've had my whole life living on Equal, and I drink Diet Coke every day, and I've got diabetes. No, it's never too late. I will always say, I will never give up. I will fight for someone's health to the end.  James Valentine: Tobie, for general gut health, if you're doing as you describe, you have two, three, four vegetable-based dishes a week, you're more conscious of eating some raw greens and that sort of stuff, you can have a pizza on Friday night? Yeah, you can have a glass of wine. It's not to say you've got to get rid of these things? Tobie Puttock: No, it's about balance for me. It's like, I still have Cadbury chocolate in the fridge. I love that stuff, but it's about the majority of the time eating as well as you can. And of course we know we sort of started to get into the realm of biohacking now. And we've got all these tech billionaires who will look you dead in the eye saying they're going to live to 150. And we've got, I forget the gentleman's name. He's reversing his age. He's a tech billionaire in Silicon Valley and he's now got the innards of about a 30-year-old and he's about 45 and he's going back about three years for every year. So there's a lot to be said for that. Now we know that through processed diets, this shortens your life,100%. And we don't even have all the data yet, but a lot of the processed foods and I get really worried about these younger generations who can't cook, they're all into the cooking shows and they love watching it as eye candy, but they can't cook, which for me is such a basic life skill. But if you look at all the oldest living people in the world without gut issues and all these kinds of things, they're eating very natural foods. They're in, you know, the Mediterranean, they're in Japan and they're eating just a lot of good produce.  James Valentine: Yeah. Now, coming back to you, Sarah, what are your thoughts on this? Sarah Di Lorenzo: So when I do gut repair work with people, the thing is, you get these people in, and I'll say, OK, so give me what are you eating today? I don't really know, I kind of, oh so you wing it, you ad lib the day. OK, so when I have an ad libber or someone who wings the day, all right, give me a 24-hour recall. So that's my next question. Oh, yesterday, oh, I had a couple of pieces of toast. Ah, a bit of jam, I don't know, I just had that on the fly, grabbed a coffee. Had some Arrowroots at work or at home with the wife watching, you know, more breakfast television. Oh, I don't know what we had. Oh, we had leftovers for lunch, that's right. Oh, my mum cooked, my wife cooked a spaghetti bolognese for the grandkids that came over in the afternoon. Oh, we had some bikkies or whatever. A bit of chocolate. They don't really know. And it's a lot of highly refined processed food, which is really dry, which really increases the production of insulin, which is driving disease, etc. So when I say to them, right, do my gut repair plan for four weeks, I am taking them from what they think is okay as a Western diet. They might even be having a white bread sandwich for lunch or a stir fry for dinner. To me, that's a Western diet. So when you take someone from that and you say, right, do all your food prep, get everything organised, start your program. And you put them on my program, which is a gluten-free program – number-one common allergen – first thing to go is headaches. And then you get that clarity of the thought instantly within three days you'll feel better. Energy, body systems working well, better sleep, better mood. And within three days, I'll get messages. I see her on my day three of the gut repair. I've gone to the toilet twice today, three times today, I had a really good night's sleep. I feel my energy's really up in three days. So you can see, as I mentioned in the beginning of our chat, eating rubbish food and going out and hammering yourself on the booze, you get that input, like you picked two days. So you think two days of healthy eating.  The gut does respond. So it will respond very quickly within three days. But to really overhaul it, I would say minimum three months. But it has to be lifelong.   James Valentine: Yeah. What a great conversation. We've been into the stool. We've farted a bit together. We have. We've got the boy working. Yeah. I love it. We've covered so much good ground. And yet all of it is in an area that we've really only just started to think about. We should be thinking about all the time. It's sort of one of the most simple things we can do, isn't it? Sarah Di Lorenzo: It's so basic.  James Valentine: It's really just, eat a lot of plants… Sarah Di Lorenzo: …eat well, avoid processed food,  James Valentine: …the stuff that comes in a package and it's processed, it's going to be bad for you.  Sarah Di Lorenzo: Reassess your health, stay on top of it, diversity, plants, hydration, exercise, sleep well, stress management tools are really important for the gut brain axis, for the stress, taking care of your nervous system. It's never too late. It's never too late.  James Valentine: It's never too late. Get on with it. Happy gut, happy life.  Sarah Di Lorenzo: Absolutely. That's it. That's the foundation for everything.  James Valentine: Thank you to Sarah and Tobie for your delectable advice. You've satisfied our hunger for knowledge of a healthier gut.

The longest serving media professional that has been attending the Melbourne #MeetTherMedia from its inception is our next guest on #TheExpertsPodcast. In fact, she has is only second to Nic who has hosted every one of the 35 events that have taken place since 2015. The reason our television journalist is always on the cards is because for years she has been voted as the giving and informative journalist to our experts and attendees of this unique and amazing event. Kristy Mayr is a Channel Seven journalist for both news and Weekend Sunrise. You can't miss her, and she will be a regular that you will identify the minute you see her. Kristy covers the light, moderate and hard stories that is put in front of her and listening to her recall the moment that she was first on the scene for the Rosie Batty story. You can hear the pain and the concern for the mother that has lost her son to domestic violence and murder. Kristy delivers so much great advice through the podcast on what experts can expect for the news. The tips are so straight forward that anyone can apply that to their media. The most appealing characteristic of Kristy is that she is so human in her approach to everything. The perception that media professionals are angry, cynical, and heartless is so further from the truth with Kristy. She is a mum, a wife, a fantastic storyteller and so giving. If you have ever been to #MeetTheMedia Melbourne, you will have met Kristy along with dozens of other fantastic journalists from Victoria. There is a saying when you are on a good thing stick with it and I like to think that with Kristy and you get the feeling she feels the same when it comes to educating, meeting, informing the experts of tomorrow. Nic is fully aware that he is not supposed to have media favourites, but I think you will find that Kristy is up the top somewhere.

On the show today… Today it was sadly announced that Virgil Abloh, artistic director of Louis Vuitton menswear and founder of fashion line Off-White, had passed away at the age of 41. Virgil was a trailblazer in many ways and redefined what it meant to be a modern fashion designer. Plus, Weekend Sunrise host Matt Doran, infamously known as the journalist who had his interview with Adele pulled after failing to listen to her new album, has issued a lengthy televised explanation of what really happened during the unseen interview and he's telling a different story to what was reported. And Lindsay Lohan has announced she is engaged to her longtime boyfriend Bader Shammas. The news comes after her team launched a strategic plan to positively revamp her image as she takes on her first movie role in many years. Everything we know so far points to a redemption arc, but the real story behind Lindsay Lohan's career is a lot more complicated.

Could it really get any worse than losing a million dollar interview with Adele? Today, Bucky chats to a breakfast radio host who butchered a chat with one of the world's biggest comedians, and news.com.au entertainment reporter Bronte Coy tells us what really went down between Matt Doran and Adele.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the show today… Discovery+ has announced they will be releasing a new documentary called Johnny vs Amber, a two-episode offering that promises to “tell the story of the breakdown” of the relationship between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard and “how it tipped into the celebrity court case of the decade.” But can this documentary really make good on its ultimate promise? Plus, ever since her 13-year conservatorship officially came to an end it's pretty clear that Britney Spears has full control of her social media back and this weekend she posted a video to her Instagram account calling out fellow musician Christina Aguilera. But when you actually understand the context behind the video, it's not just another case of Britney being pitted against Christina. And it's the interview everyone in Australia is talking about right now, even though it never went to air. It's been revealed that Channel Seven's Weekend Sunrise host Matt Doran flew with a crew to London for an exclusive interview with Adele. But the interview has been pulled after Adele discovered Doran had not listened to her new album. Doran has since apologised for the mistake, asked for the interview to be aired, and said he missed the email that contained the link to the album. But there's something about this story that just doesn't add up. CREDITS Hosts: Laura Brodnik & Clare Stephens Producers: Laura Brodnik & Madeline Joannou Audio Producer: Leah Porges WANT MORE?

Hi friends! We start off this week's episode with the painful news that Weekend Sunrise host Matt Dornan, didn't listen to Adele's new album despite getting flown to London to interview her. Embarrassing. Next, Meghan Markle appears on the Ellen show. We ask what this is trying to convey about Meghan and Prince Harry's ~personal brand~. Maggie references this article by The Washington Post titled ‘Meghan Markle's ‘Ellen' interview was the complete opposite of her Oprah sitdown — boring by design'. The so-called ‘cringe couple' of the internet have gone their separate ways after two years of dating. Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes called it quits, sparking more rumours around Shawn's sexuality. We discuss why this is wrong and Jas reads from her MTV Australia article ‘Can We Please Stop Joking About Shawn Mendes' Sexuality Now?' We also reference this carousel by Instagram creator Matt Bernstein. We head to TikTok University next with a theory called The Chris Pratt Pipeline. Coined by TikTok user Keara Sullivan, the CPP has a female counterpart in The Jennifer Lawrence Pipeline. We explain the theory and ask what it says about our relation to celebrity.Finally, Maggie recommends the Saved For Later podcast, a new cultural pod by The Guardian (which Maggie is a guest on !!) and Jas recommends historical comedy-drama The Great. if you'd like to donate to Jas' half-marathon efforts and help out the Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency then you can donate here.

We chatted with parenting expert Michael Grose about how we can get our kids to contribute more, relieve the life admin burden and grow up to be efficient at their own life admin. Michael Grose, the founder of Parenting Ideas, is one of Australia's leading parenting educators, informing and inspiring audiences in Australia and around the world for more than 20 years. Micheal is a former primary school teacher with 15 years of experience. He holds a Master of Educational Studies specialising in parenting education and is the father of three children He is a bestselling author of 12 books for parents including Spoonfed Generation, Thriving!, Anxious Kids and his latest re-release Why First Borns Rule the World and Later Borns Want to Change It. Michael has had parenting segments on The Project, The Today Show, Weekend Sunrise, ABC radio and more. He has contributed to Huff Post, Kidspot and Mamamia, and is a former columnist with both News Ltd and Fairfax newspapers. What we talk about Our recent survey of over 300 Australians revealed that parents do 33% more life admin than those without kids, and they are twice as likely to struggle for time. During the interview, we chat with Michael about: how parents often underestimate what their kids can do by up to three years that we should never regularly do for our kids what they are capable of doing for themselves that kids want more autonomy and independence that as family sizes have shrunk we know more about each of our children, and so we give them less space to become more independent being aware of developing independence and providing small opportunities for kids to feel and be useful starting where your kids are at and pushing them along over time developing a 'junior version of the game' (eg like Auskick for AFL) for life admin and housework and setting the standards based on their age and stage that we need to not rescue kids so they can learn from their experience accepting what kids do as a reasonable standard if they have tried their best that pocket money is a great way to increase autonomy and independence and you can start from age 5 deciding what your benchmark will be in your family for handing over responsibility for a task (eg when they make their own lunch) thinking about sharing the 'jobs and the joy' and wealth within your family using a roster to allocate chores to create the sense that the roster is creating the “ask” rather than the parents when kids start asking for more independence we can look at ways that we can make it happen by giving them the skills they need to do at least part of the task pets are great to teach kids what it is like to have someone else reliant on them thinking less about the amount of time that kids are spending on screens and more on what they are consuming and what the opportunity cost is (what else could they be doing) teenagers need parents who will challenge them that gender and birth order can create different expectations girls are often more organised at a younger age and boys may need more coaching, due to the way the brain develops differently between the genders firstborns tend to be more detail-orientated and introverted there are three aspects to consider when parenting - a child's genetics & temperament, birth order and the family frame that sets the landscape for everything else.

The fire earlier this month (February 2019) on the outside of the Neo200 building in Melbourne conveniently coincided with a meeting of state and federal government ministers at which it was announced that the highly dangerous product would be banned from our shores. Of course, this is way too late for the people who have bought apartments in buildings that are covered in the potentially deadly material. You might as well set fire to the stable door - the horse has bolted. Although they are approaching this in very different ways in different states, the end result for apartment owners like you or me, is that we have to identify the stuff then - unless we are very lucky - pay to have it removed. Now, there may be cases where the buildings are still under warranty and the developers haven't disappeared up their own flammable phoenixes, and then you just have to pay lawyers to persuade the developers to get it removed.  Good luck with that. Now, I can hear a chorus of voices saying: "Tough luck!  Nobody told you to go and live in apartments. In fact, we told you it was a bad idea.  So don't expect us, the taxpayers, to pay for your stupidity." Hmmm.  Imagine if we applied that to bushfires. "Hey, we didn't tell you to go and live in the middle of forests full of trees that nature has designed to burn ferociously.  So don't expect us to pay for the back-burning that might just prevent you from losing your home (or even worse) next bush-fire season." Of course, we don't say that because we believe in collective responsibility.  We'll contribute to your back-burning if you contribute to our freeways. So why doesn't that apply to flammable cladding?  The people who are responsible, if they get half a chance, are walking off whistling their "nothing to do with me" tunes. Politicians have overseen lax and laissez-faire controls on  builders and developers for decades.  And as for the aforementioned high-rise high rollers ... well, we are all reaping the dubious reward of allowing unscrupulous people to do unspeakable things in pursuit of profits.  In fact, it doesn't need to be all that blatantly corrupt.  Cut a few corners here and there and it's money in the bank. Meanwhile 85 percent of new blocks report defects and the average rectification bill is, according to experts, over 20 per cent of the cost of the building (so much for NSW's 2 per cent defects bond). So now we find ourselves in a phase of punish-the-victims policies. Whether or not we live in blocks covered with cladding, or crumbling like the Opal Tower, we deserve better. All of which I didn't say when I was invited on to Weekend Sunrise a couple of weeks ago to talk about cladding. Click in the pic below to watch the item.
