PAP 92: How to Improve your Resilience with Dr Brett Hill

You can’t change what happens in life but you can build on how you recover from difficult tough times. Dr Brett Hill joins me on the show today to discuss the importance of resilience in turbulent times.
Brett believe that all of the focus has been on the virulence of the virus, and the stress if the financial and mental impacts and the vulnerability of the population but hardly anything on resilience and resistance.
Brett is offering listeners 1 month of group mentoring with him in my new group mentoring program Exercising Resilience (www.exercisingresilience.com).
Dr Brett Hill is host of some of Australia’s top-rated health podcasts, resilience mentor, functional nutrition coach, chiropractor, public speaker, and author of numerous books and e-books. He regularly appears on TV, radio and in print, and his media appearances, seminars, coaching and consulting have inspired thousands of people over the last decade to live a long, happy, healthy life full of energy and vitality.
A divorced and now remarried father of two with a string of entrepreneurial pursuits and life challenges along the way, Brett brings a unique perspective to health and mindset challenges with his communication skills and emotional vulnerability. He has been able to combine his decades of research into building human health and resilience (including study of Health Science, Nutrition and Counselling) with his own personal journey and lessons to help others rediscover their own innate resilience in a profound way.
Dr Brett has been able to share his journey with his three gorgeous children Tom, Charlotte and Timmy who have inspired Dr Brett to take his message to the world in order to create a healthier environment for his family to thrive in.

PAP 90: Blood Glucose Monitoring – an experiment with Tracey McBeath

What does food actually do to your blood glucose when you constantly monitor it? My friend and Health Coach Tracy McBeath tracked her blood glucose to see how her low carb lifestyle was affecting her blood sugar. Then she had a bit of fun and tracked what happened when she went back to her ‘healthy whole food, low fat diet’ of old.
Fascinating insight into something we are all curious about but not keen to try!

PAP 88: Should You Do GAPS? With Elyse Comerford

When and how do you know if you should do GAPS and do you even need to do it at all?
Today I am joined by Elyse Comerford, an Integrative Nutritionist and Certified GAPS (Gut & Psychology/Physiology Syndrome) Practitioner, Holistic Health Coach, Exercise Scientist, Keynote Speaker, Mentor, and most importantly, Mum to Dylan!
Elyse says: my primary focus for the past few years has been in private practice, helping hundreds of families overcome a whole host of health issues through the implementation of nourishing and healing diary principles, reducing toxic stress, and the GAPS protocol. This has become my specialty, and has led me to work with families all over the world. It has been a culmination of my education and experience in Nutrition, but most importantly my experience in my own healing journey. It is this experience that has driven my passion to empower as many people as possible with the key to their own health. My approach is based on taking the normal “guilt, blame, shame and deprivation” approach and completely turning it on it’s head, focussing instead on healing, nourishing, and listening to the body.
In this episode we explore:
if and when you should try GAPS
the best way to do it
Elyse’s journey
acceptable levels of busyness
why intro to GAPS can feel scary
why full GAPS isn’t and what it is
the GAPS principals
the healing GAPS foods
Work with Elyse

PAP 87: How to Transform your Life with Human Design with Barbara Brangan

In this episode Barbara explains Human Design as the key to knowing ourselves and to helping women recognise they are not broken, far from it, they are freaking amazing. Human Design helps us to Recognise that our frustrations and pain often come from trying to be like another, instead of loving our uniqueness (as per Human Design).
Barbara will demystify Human Design – a jargon-heavy complex system into a fun and easy to integrate tool to help you activate your soul further. We talk through the different energy types and personas and discover how much you can learn about yourself just based on the time and place you were born.
Barbara is an Irish girl who has made Australia her forever home. She is super passionate about helping women recognise they are not broken and in fact they are amazing. She has an infectious laugh and she loves bringing joy to all of her sessions. She had her own Spiritual Awakening after the birth of her two daughters and was soon catapulted onto a TV show doing live ‘psychic readings’ and whilst this was fun, there was something missing. This seeking called her deeper into the path of the Mystic and Intuitive and into the labyrinth of the subconscious.
For years Barbara tried to do business the way she thought she should (eh, closet control freak!) and it was ‘hard’ work. In 2019 she surrendered her business to the Universe and it kept bringing her back to Human Design, which she had tried hard to ignore. Since she has embraced and aligned with her own Human Design (she is a Projector) life and business have transformed and now they are super fun. She is super excited to gift this wisdom to other women on their seeking journey of discovering who they truly are.

PAP 86: The Hillbilby Real Cultured Food Business Story with Founder Mark Drill

Mark & his wife Nicole starting experimenting with their diets making fermented goodies at home for their four boys, 2 of which are on the autism spectrum in an attempt to help with the gut-brain link. A supportive friend encouraged them to take the big leap into a commercial enterprise – their ferments were that good!
5 years later they are stocked in five countries across the world and have over 2,000 stockists. How did Mark do this? How did he take the big leap, how does he juggle entrepreneurship with his family and how the heck does he get the kids to have fermented food?
Mark also shares his story of how he got into business with Pete Evans to produce the HEAL range.
Mark’s story is inspirational and makes you feel like you could do it too – especially if you don’t see yourself a as ‘business’ person in the traditional sense – Mark says he is ‘allergic to spreadsheets’ – how refreshing to know you can take your passion and turn it into a successful business – even if you do make a few mistakes along the way.

PAP 82: How to Redefine & Return the Feminine with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz

Amy Taylor-Kabbaz is a writer, producer, speaker and mother to three young children. After more than a decade covering breaking news and current affairs for the ABC around the country, her ‘traditional’ career took an unexpected turn when she found herself lost, overwhelmed and diagnosed with a thyroid condition after the birth of her first daughter.
11 years – and two more babies – later, she is now a best-selling author, the host of the ‘The Happy Mama Movement’ podcast (with more than 200,000 downloads), runs numerous online programs for mothers all over the world, is an international award-winning coach, sub-editor of Mama Disrupt magazine and expert contributor to Mindful Parenting magazine, and the creator of the #1 iTunes meditations for children ‘Bedtime Explorers’. Her latest book ‘Mama Rising’ was released by Hay House in Australia and New Zealand in December 2019, and will be released internationally in March 2020.
In this episode we discover:
* what is matrescence, and how does it change our understanding of what happens to a woman when she becomes a mother
* Amy’s own journey as a woman and how finding this definition has changed everything (the inner split, and the maternal wall)
* The one key understanding that we all need to know about matrescence and motherhood (the return to the feminine and a chance to redefine this for ourselves)
This is a wonderful episode discovering and honouring the rites of passage for women – worth a listen even if you aren’t a Mama. The episode gets heated and there are a couple of f bombs so please use headphones if listening with little humans around.
