The Wellness Collective with Nat Kringoudis

In this episode, I unpack the conversation that's been taking over the internet after reports revealed the global wellness economy is now worth trillions of dollars. While some see this as a positive shift towards prevention and personal responsibility, others see it as a sign that people are moving away from conventional healthcare.
I share my thoughts on why more people are investing in their health, what they're really searching for, and why I don't believe this is a battle between wellness and medicine. Because the truth is, most people aren't looking to replace their doctor. They're looking for answers, ownership, and a way to feel better in their bodies.
We also talk about where the wellness industry gets it wrong, the dangers of chasing endless protocols and biohacks, and why the foundations still matter most. Sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, and asking better questions about your health.
At its core, this episode is about taking ownership of your health, staying curious, and understanding that the best outcomes often come when wellness and medicine work together, not against each other.
🌿 What You'll Learn in This Episode:
✅ Why the wellness industry is growing so rapidly
✅ What people are really looking for from their health care
✅ Why wellness and medicine aren't competing with each other
✅ The biggest misconceptions about preventative health
✅ Where the wellness industry gets it wrong
✅ How to take greater ownership of your health

What if the reason you're struggling with your weight, energy, and hormones isn't because you're eating too much... but because you're not eating enough?
Today I'm joined by coach and trainer Nada Stavarakis to unpack one of the biggest misconceptions women over 35 face when it comes to health. So many women are still trying to follow the same rules that worked in their 20s, eating less, training harder, and pushing through exhaustion, only to find their bodies responding in completely different ways.
We talk about why under-fuelling, overtraining, and chronic stress can leave the body feeling unsafe, and how that impacts everything from weight loss and hormones to energy and recovery. Nada also shares the simple foundations she focuses on with clients, including protein, strength training, consistency, and learning to trust the process.
At its core, this conversation is a reminder that health doesn't need to be complicated. Sometimes the most powerful changes come from getting back to the basics and finally giving your body what it needs.
🌿 What You'll Learn in This Episode:
✅ Why eating less can actually make progress harder
✅ The biggest mistakes women over 35 are making
✅ How protein supports hormones, energy, and body composition
✅ Why strength training becomes non-negotiable as we age
✅ The connection between stress, safety, and weight loss
✅ How to build habits that actually last

In this episode, Calista Clements opens up about the moment she broke down in tears in a car, frustrated by politics, social media labeling, and the feeling that many Australians were afraid to express reasonable opinions publicly. She shares how that moment led her to start posting consistently online and build a platform around conversation, debate, and what she calls “common sense.”
We talk about ‘cancel culture’, respectful disagreement, the pressures of social media, and why so many people stay silent even when they have something meaningful to say. Calista also reflects on her experience during Victoria's lockdowns and how that period shaped her perspective on freedom, responsibility, and speaking up.
At its core, this conversation isn’t about convincing everyone to agree. It’s about whether a healthy society can still tolerate disagreement, nuance, and difficult conversations.
🌿 What You'll Learn in This Episode:
✅ Why "common sense" has become controversial
✅ The impact of cancel culture on public conversations
✅ Why so many people are afraid to speak honestly
✅ How Calista found the confidence to share her views online
✅ The lasting effects of lockdowns on Australians
✅ How to stand by your beliefs when others disagree

What happens when the pursuit of health becomes unhealthy?
In this episode, I sit down with entrepreneur Nick Bell to talk about success, burnout, health scares, and the lessons he learned after pushing his body to the limit. From taking more than 90 supplements a day to spending 18 months focused solely on recovering his health, Nick shares the mistakes he made so you don't have to.
We dive into biohacking, peptides, stem cells, fasting, heavy metals, sleep, and the endless search for the next health solution. But perhaps the biggest lesson is that more isn't always better. Sometimes the foundations matter most.
At the core of it, this conversation is about finding what actually works, cutting through the noise, and understanding that health isn't something you can shortcut.
🌿 What You'll Learn in This Episode:
✅ Why more supplements don't always mean better health
✅ The health scare that changed Nick's priorities
✅ The basics that matter more than expensive health hacks
✅ How sleep impacts every area of your life
✅ The risks of overtraining and overdoing it
✅ Why less is often more when it comes to wellness

Menopause really is getting a hot minute, but there are still so many misconceptions surrounding both perimenopause and menopause.

Perhaps you’re waking at 3am, or feeling anxious. You might be forgetting words mid sentence, snapping at things that never used to bother you, or wondering why your body suddenly feels unfamiliar… then I got you. You’ll want to press play immediately.

I’m diving into menopause and perimenopause and breaking down why this transition is so much more than hormones alone. Because yes, hormones matter, but your nervous system, stress levels, sleep, nutrition, environment and even the load you’re carrying every day all play a role in how you experience this phase of life.

But there’s a piece to this puzzle almost every woman is missing… you’re a smart woman, it’s time to take the upgrade that menopause unlocks seriously. But without knowing what this is or how, you’ll likely miss this step completely.

So many women feel like they need to push harder when symptoms start showing up, when actually, the opposite is true and unlocking this is truly the one thing you need to know. This is the season where your body allows your to work smarter - not harder. I explore this and more in this episode.

🌿 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ The difference between perimenopause, menopause and post menopause
✅ Common symptoms and what they may actually be telling you
✅ Why hormones aren’t the whole story
✅ The role of stress and your nervous system in symptoms
✅ Why HRT is one tool, not the whole toolbox
✅ Simple foundations that can help you feel better
