• Makeup’s DIRTY Secret: How Your Beauty Bag Disrupts Hormones & Makes You Sick! | Kasey Giarratana

  What if the products sitting in your beauty cupboard were quietly impacting your hormones, gut health, and fertility?Kasey Giarratana, co-founder of Xali Organics, joins me to unpack the real-life impact of beauty products on our health. After battling PCOS and endometriosis from a young age, Kasey discovered just how many of the ingredients we use daily are contributing to our symptoms. She shares what happened when her naturopath told her to check the ingredients in her skincare, why fragrance is now a firm no for her, and how she's building a brand that actually supports women through every life stage, from puberty through to perimenopause. We talk about the pressure teens face, the power of peptides, and how to navigate clean beauty without going into overwhelm. This is the kind of conversation I wish every woman could hear.Key TakeawaysToxic Load Is Real – The cumulative impact of our beauty products can affect our hormones, gut health, and overall wellbeing.Fragrance Isn’t Just a Smell – “Fragrance” can be a catch-all for hormone-disrupting chemicals that sneak into our products.Education Creates Empowerment – Helping women understand what’s in their products gives them back control of their health.80/20 for the Win – You don’t have to be perfect. Choosing better products most of the time still makes a meaningful difference.Peptides Are Powerhouses – Peptides in skincare aren’t just trendy; they’re biologically compatible and effective for things like hair and lash growth.Trust Matters Most – In a noisy, often critical beauty industry, transparency and integrity build loyalty that lasts.Where to Find Our GuestXali Organic’s Website: http://www.xaliorganics.comXali Organics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/xaliorganics/Links & Resources🎧 Sound, Safely: Up to 32% Off Shokz + Extra $15 with Code NAT15Truth is, around 60% of you told me you still use Bluetooth headsets — and while they do emit some EMF, if you’re going to use them, this is the smartest choice.Meet Shokz — open-ear headphones that sit outside your ears.

• This “Missing Link” in Your Water Could Transform Your Stress, Sleep and Mood | Josh Hiam

  All the water you consume each day might be one of the biggest sources of toxins your body takes in. But once you understand how water has changed from its natural form and what that means for your health, it starts to make a whole lot of sense.Josh Hiam from Hydrogen Health comes from a background in biomedical and electronic engineering, and he has a real passion for understanding how the natural world designs wellness into our biology. We unpack the science behind structured water, molecular hydrogen, and why your body might be dehydrated even when you’re drinking loads of water. One thing I loved in this conversation is how clear it became that your body knows what to do. Structured, mineral-rich, hydrogen-infused water can be a massive part of that. It's about returning water to the state nature intended and making it accessible in your daily life.Key TakeawaysWater Can Be Depleting – Tap water and even filtered or alkaline water may require your body to work harder to process it, leaving you more stressed and less hydrated.Hydrogen Heals from Within – Molecular hydrogen targets oxidative stress at the cellular level and converts damaging free radicals into water.Hydration Calms The Nervous System – Hydrogen-rich water helps regulate the vagus nerve, reduce inflammation and shift you into parasympathetic rest and repair.Kids Know What Feels Good – Josh and I talk about how my son, who has cystic fibrosis, kept reaching for the hydrogen bottle long before I ever told him why it might help.Your Shower Water Matters – If you’re showering in chlorinated, chemically treated water, you’re likely absorbing and inhaling things that disrupt your hormones and skin health.Small Shifts Can Be Profound – Structured, energized, mineral-infused water mimics natural spring water and supports mitochondrial function, collagen production and long-term energy.Where to Find Our GuestJosh Hiam’s Website: https://www.hydrogenhealth.net.auHydrogen Health on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hydrogenhealthofficial Links & Resources🎧 Sound, Safely: Up to 32% Off Shokz + Extra $15 with Code NAT15Truth is, around 60% of you told me you still use Bluetooth headsets — and while they do emit some EMF, if you’re going to use them, this is the smartest choice.Meet Shokz — open-ear headphones that sit outside your ears.

• ‘Women Are Not Small Men’: Dr. Stacy Sims on the Myths Sabotaging Women’s Health (What to Do Next)

  Girls are skipping meals, hiding full lunchboxes, and burning out before they’ve even had the chance to build strong bones. That’s where this conversation had to start.Dr. Stacy Sims has been calling out the massive gap in research on women’s health for years. Her phrase “Women Are Not Small Men” isn’t a tagline. It’s a wake-up call backed by science, and it applies at every stage of life. From how our daughters are shaped by early food restriction, to how many of us are still training in ways that don’t match our physiology, Stacy breaks it down.We covered bone health, birth control, fasted workouts, and why circadian rhythm quietly drives so much of our health. We also spoke about parenting teens, building strong habits at home, and how your menstrual cycle is often the first clue something’s off. If you’ve been ticking the boxes but still feel flat, this conversation brings it back to what your body’s really asking for.Key TakeawaysTeen Nutrition Matters - Puberty is a critical window for building bone mass, and under-fueling can stunt lifelong health.Skip the Fasted Workouts - Training without fuel disrupts circadian rhythm and increases muscle breakdown, especially in women.Exercise is Stress - Recovery needs to match the load, especially in your 30s and 40s, when stress resilience starts to shift.Cycle-Aware Training - Tracking your cycle helps you train smarter, recover better, and ditch the guilt on low-energy days.Birth Control and Performance - Oral contraceptives can mute high-end performance and mask red flags like low energy availability.Reframe High Performance - Whether you’re a mum, a professional, or an athlete, you're living in a high-performance body. Support it accordingly.Where to Find Our GuestDr. Stacy Sims’ Website: https://www.drstacysims.comDr. Stacy Sims on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstacysimsDr. Stacy Sims on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drstacysimsDr. Stacy Sims on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drstacysimsLinks & Resources🎧 Sound, Safely: Up to 32% Off Shokz + Extra $15 with Code NAT15Truth is, around 60% of you told me you still use Bluetooth headsets — and while they do emit some EMF, if you’re going to use them, this is the smartest choice.Meet Shokz — open-ear headphones that sit outside your ears.

• How Birth Control Shuts Down Your Developing Teen's Brain! | Dr. Sarah Hill

  Teenagers are being handed the pill to fix things that aren’t broken. That’s the real issue here. Irregular periods, mood swings, acne. These are often part of the natural learning curve as the brain and ovaries figure out how to communicate. But what happens when we shut that whole system down before it’s even developed?Dr. Sarah Hill is an evolutionary psychologist, researcher, and author of “This Is Your Brain on Birth Control”. Her work has helped so many of us finally make sense of the symptoms we were told to ignore, and now she’s back to share what the science is saying about teens, birth control, and brain development.This is the conversation I needed as a mum, and I know so many of you do too. Sarah breaks down what’s actually going on in a teen brain, how hormonal contraceptives interfere with those critical years, and why some of the side effects don’t stop just because you come off the pill. This isn’t about fear. This is about being informed so we can make choices that protect our girls’ future health, mood, and fertility.Key TakeawaysBrain Remodeling Years Are Critical – Teen brains rely on natural hormones to finish developing well into their twenties.Birth Control Affects Mood – The pill can double or triple a teen’s risk of depression, even after stopping it.Ovulation Is A Learning Process – Early cycles teach the brain and ovaries to communicate. Shutting that down delays vital development.Progestin Is Not Progesterone – Synthetic hormones don’t provide the same calming or protective effects as the real thing.Teens Are More Sensitive – Teenage brains are wired to respond more strongly to hormone changes and disruptions.Knowledge Is Power – Teaching girls how their cycles work supports long term health and smarter choices.Where to Find Our GuestDr. Sarah Hill’s Website: http://www.sarahehill.comDr. Sarah Hill on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahehillphd Links & Resources🎧 Sound, Safely: Up to 32% Off Shokz + Extra $15 with Code NAT15Truth is, around 60% of you told me you still use Bluetooth headsets — and while they do emit some EMF, if you’re going to use them, this is the smartest choice.Meet Shokz — open-ear headphones that sit outside your ears.

• Stop The Breakout Spiral: The Real Root Causes Of Acne No One Talks About | Katie Stewart

  Acne can feel relentless, especially when nothing seems to work and you’ve already tried every product, cleanse, and prescription under the sun. Katie Stewart knows that struggle firsthand. Before founding Katie Stewart Wellness, she spent years in television hiding painful cystic acne behind makeup and studio lights while quietly battling the emotional toll behind the scenes.Katie and I sat down to unpack the real root causes of acne. We talked about the Five Acne-Clearing Pillars her team uses to guide women back to clear skin through gut health, detoxification, hormone balance, nervous system support, and nourishing skincare. Whether you’re a teen struggling with breakouts, a mum trying to help your daughter, or someone in your 40s facing unexpected skin flare-ups, there is something here for you.Katie’s story is raw and relatable, and her insights are grounded in what actually works. This isn’t about chasing quick fixes. It’s about understanding your body and giving it what it really needs to heal.Key TakeawaysAcne Is a Signal, Not a Surface Issue – True healing starts when we stop chasing quick fixes and start asking what our body is trying to say.The Pill Doesn’t Balance Hormones – It masks symptoms and shuts down communication between your brain and ovaries, often leading to bigger issues down the track.The Five Acne-Clearing Pillars Matter – Gut health, detoxification, hormone balance, nervous system support, and skin barrier care must all work together.Nervous System Healing Is Non-Negotiable – You can’t fully heal if your body doesn’t feel safe. Stress and trauma have a direct impact on your skin.Teen Skin Needs Simplicity, Not Stripping – Overuse of harsh products can backfire. Gentle, barrier-supportive skincare is key.Accutane Isn’t a Cure-All – Many women find their acne returns after medication. Addressing the root causes is what brings lasting change.Where to Find Our GuestKatie Stewart Wellness: https://katiestewartwellness.com/Katie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katiestewartwellness/Katie on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/katie-stewart-wellnessLinks & Resources🎧 Sound, Safely: Up to 32% Off Shokz + Extra $15 with Code NAT15Truth is, around 60% of you told me you still use Bluetooth headsets — and while they do emit some EMF, if you’re going to use them, this is the smartest choice.Meet Shokz — open-ear headphones that sit outside your ears.
