The Wellness Collective with Nat Kringoudis

Have you ever wondered whether something in your environment could be affecting how you feel?
In Part 2 of my conversation with Sinclair Kennally, we're talking all things mold, mycotoxins and detoxification. We explore why mold is getting more attention, the symptoms Sinclair associates with exposure, and why people in the same household can respond differently.
We also get into what detox actually means. Your body already has systems to process and eliminate waste, but Sinclair explains how stress, the nervous system and liver function fit into her approach to supporting that process. We talk about assessing your environment, moisture in the home and why it's worth understanding what's happening before jumping into drastic changes.
If you missed Part 1, go back and give that a listen first. We covered parasites, heavy metals and Sinclair's own health journey, and this conversation picks up right where we left off.

Have you ever felt like you know something isn’t right in your body, but you’re not getting to the bottom of it?
In this episode, I’m joined by Sinclair Kennally, who has her own very personal story of chronic illness and falling through the cracks of conventional medicine. We talk about her journey, the layers she believes were contributing to her health and what led her into the work she does today.
We get into mold, heavy metals, parasites, the immune system, digestion and why Sinclair believes symptoms can be the body communicating that something needs attention. We also talk about my own experience with parasites and high aluminium levels, which took my health journey in a direction I never expected.
There’s a lot to unpack here, so this is actually Part 1 of 2. And trust me, we’ve got plenty more to get into when we talk about mold and detoxification in Part 2.

What happens when conversations about our values, relationships and the world around us feel harder to have?
In this episode, I’m joined by Zana Pali, a lawyer, podcast host and mother, for an open conversation about speaking with conviction, navigating disagreement and the way our views can shape our relationships and communities.

We also touch on public debate, politics, safety and social connection, and why it can be valuable to make room for different perspectives while still being thoughtful about how we speak to one another.
This is a conversation that raises plenty of questions. Take what resonates, and make space to think through the rest for yourself.

What happens when becoming a mum changes the way you see yourself, your body and your whole life?

In this episode, I’m joined by Dominique Elissa, model, podcaster and soon to be mum, for a really honest conversation about pregnancy, body image, grief and everything that comes with stepping into a completely new chapter.

Dominique opens up about losing her mum and what it feels like to enter motherhood without having her there. We talk about the importance of finding your people, asking for help and building a community around you, especially when life feels completely unknown.

We also talk about body image, food and the unexpected ways pregnancy has changed Dominique’s relationship with both. From learning to eat when she’s hungry to letting go of the pressure to look a certain way, there’s a beautiful reminder here about listening to what your body actually needs.

And at the heart of this conversation is intuition. Those little signs your body gives you, the things we often ignore, and what can happen when we finally slow down enough to listen.

🌿 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ The reality of pregnancy beyond the obvious changes
✅ Dominique’s experience with body image and food during pregnancy
✅ Navigating grief while entering motherhood
✅ Why community and asking for help matter so much
✅ Learning to trust your intuition and body wisdom
✅ The pressure social media can put on new mums
