• 425. Innsæi: The Power of Intuition (and the cost of not harnessing it) with Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir

  What is your understanding of “Intuition? Do you feel yours is fine tuned? Well, it turns out what we ‘think’ is our intuition is often instead our:Instinct - which comes from fear and keeping us ‘safe’Bias influenced by multiple layers of external conditioning Suspicion - seeking the pleasure or assuredness of confirmed bias until we find itThought - Rationalisation based on what we rationally know rather than what we intuitively know.Lately in my own self awareness I’ve been exploring all of these subtly different things that we can confuse with intuition and I found myself asking: Is the cost of ignoring it as great as the power of using it?Enter another new favourite human: Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir. Hrund is an Icelandic thought leader, author, filmmaker, entrepreneur, and TED/keynote speaker. She is remodelling our understanding of intuition, through the Icelandic concept of InnSæi. She helps individuals and organisations rethink and reshape their relationship with change, uncertainty, and intuition, bringing together some of the world’s foremost research and practices on the fundamental role intuition plays for our intelligence and in our lives. She is the author of InnSæi the book. Co-director and script writer of the documentary InnSæi: The Power of Intuition, shown on Netflix worldwide.

• 424. Dr. Nayan Patel on Glutathione: Could it be the most important thing we need for health?

  Who doesn’t want a better quality of life for longer, right? This week, we’re talking about oxidative stress and the role of Glutathione: How we get pushed, slowly, slowly out of homeostasis in our first 3 decades of lifeHow the disease/medication cycle is inadequate and we need to focus on homeostasis recalibration to heal, not just manage disease. How a dietary focus on cysteine is the most accessible antioxidant move we all have access to. How glutathione delivery is often not worth the many forms it comes in in supplements. How getting the research right led to some incredible results - especially for his Dad! Great ep for the peeps struggling to heal, feel that homeostasis magic or who love the nerdier health topics exploring the latest research. Pharmacist Dr Nayan Patel, who felt that after his top university education landed him in the business of maintaining people’s disease conditions (while acknowledging it was of course often life saving), wasn’t happy with ‘sickness management’ and went on to specialising in compounding medicines and supplements working with doctors. He then began researching oxidative stress and extending health span, rather than just life span, which was the start of @aurowellness. He recently published his first comprehensive book, The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging & Increase Energy. Want to learn more about this week’s guest?

• 423. Bridging divides and carving a new path for small and medium-sized farms with Brian Reisinger

  On this week’s show… Something like “being tough on immigration” can so easily become political capital, and, of course no one wants unfettered streams of people, unchecked, moving through one’s country’s borders. But what happens, when a hard-line policy ignores nuance, ignores affected industries and is also hard on human rights while implementing policy? Enter this week’s show guest, Brian Reisinger, author of Land Rich Cash Poor, from a multi-generation farm, a journalist, author and ex White House agricultural policy adviser, who works on building bipartisan support for improving the lives of farmers and the stability of the food system - from access to consumer pricing. We need to think more profoundly and go wider in our search to understand a subject, garnering more perspectives on issues before we ‘know them’. Big tech profits from polarisation and sensationalisation. I feel lucky to bring these considered, intelligent deep dives to the show with experts who can explore all aspects of an issue - not just what they want to promote or politicise. So we talk about: How the farm seems to have been the way of the past, not the future and how that feels for small and medium farms (across the world)How the evaporation of the middle class promise affects city and rural people TOGETHER - not as adversaries. How immigration policy affects small/medium farms and policy often fails farms. and much moreWant to learn more about this week’s guest?

• 422. The mouth and its many connections to disease in the rest of the body: Carving a Holistic Path with Dr Michelle Jorgensen

  We don’t naturally think when we have recurrent sinusitis or cognitive decline: “Well I guess I should book with the dentist!” Right? Well, today’s guest Dr. Michelle Jorgensen who is a dentist, naturopath, author and speaker,. says, you might want to make that dentist appointment!As she’s seen as both a dentist and a naturopath, oftentimes what’s happening in the body can originate from dental work that’s been done in the mouth - common procedures millions of us have had.I was blown away by some of the examples she shared in this show. Once Michelle’s eyes were opened, she decided to study beyond dentistry and dive deep into the history of health cultivation from around the world to design a blueprint to get her own health back on track and help her patients and now people around the world do the same. In this show you’ll grow confidence in: How our mouth is a dashboard for the body and how to ask for investigations to see if what ails you is connected to past dental procedures you might have had. How we now have the technology to find hidden mouth infections that can lead to rapid health improvements - the Chronic fatigue example blew me away! How ‘we’re all energy’ isn’t woo woo - energy is just another word for electricity and we are all electrical beings.Tuning into what your body needs and when - an individual seasonal approach. How a simple assessment can give us a blueprint for how to move forward. I hope you love this show as much as I did & you can preorder Michelle’s book hereThank you to this month’s show partners for joining us to help you make your low tox swaps! @ausclimate is our major partner giving you 10% off their range for the whole of 2025, with brilliant Winix Air Purifiers, the best Dehumidifiers I’ve ever used and their new energy-efficient heating, air-circulating and cooling range. code LOWTOXLIFE (also works over and above their sales - pro tip!) https://bit.ly/ShopAusclimate@biofirstofficial is back + offering a big saving to celebrate their new Blemish Ban range (including Blemish Bundles) - 20% off!
