The global prevalence of metabolic diseases, especially type 2 diabetes and obesity, has risen over the past two decades, regardless of socio-economic index. What are the underlying causes of this decline in health?  My special guest today is Dr Ann Hester, a double-board certified physician and Transformational Health Coach.

Preserving the security of ID prevents crime and avoids harm, trauma and stress. If not made aware of the traps and how to protect one's self and livelihood, people can get scammed out of their hard earned wealth in the blink of an eye or the click of a button. We cannot rely on face value and trust anymore, because the ‘face’ (or voice) of illusion can seem so real.  My special guest today is Robert Siciliano, a cybersecurity expert, good guy hacker, private investigator, and bestselling author and CEO of Safr.Me. He addresses the "Human Blindspot," a vulnerability where humans are hardwired to trust digital eyes and ears that AI now easily exploits. https://protectnowllc.com/

Many will have made their new year resolutions by now, but have self doubt about their likelihood of success to achieve goals, due to past failures. What are the proven methods of making big changes and overcoming past bad habits and self doubt? My special guest today is Stanley Bronstein, an attorney, CPA, life coach, and author of The Way of Excellence Journal, The Way of You, The Way of Us, and The Way of AI. In The Way of Excellence, a structured personal development system, he teaches how to create a new and better version of you. https://TheWayOfExcellence.com RFK Jr. Flips the Food Pyramid "U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unveiled new dietary guidelines for Americans. The new U.S. food pyramid puts protein, dairy, healthy fats, vegetables and fruit at the top, with grains at the bottom."  https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/rfk-jr-new-food-pyramid-us-dietary-guidelines/  

It is estimated in Australia that one in three people have a chronic inflammatory condition that causes pain and sleep issues. Clinicians are finding that in most cases it is related to a metabolic issue, and is common in degenerative diseases, including cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis.  Can this be corrected using diet and lifestyle strategies?  My special guest today is Dr Joseph Cilea, founder of Advanced Wellness in Marlboro, NJ. He has over two decades specialising in an integrated medicine approach, including chiropractic care, physical therapy, regenerative medicine, and nutritional advice. https://advanced-wellness.net/

Metabolic syndrome, excessive weight gain and diabetes are a marker for premature ageing and overall health decline. In Australia it is estimated that over 5% are living with a diabetes diagnosis, but more can be in the danger zone of pre-diabetes with mounting symptoms of carbohydrate intolerance, extreme fatigue and insulin resistance. The Alzheimer's Association also recognizes diabetes as a major risk factor for Alzheimer's and dementia, with poor blood sugar control leading to cognitive decline.      My special guest is Graham Hawley, a Certified Health and Wellness Coach and founder of Simply Health Conscious. Graham guides people to sustainable weight loss (naturally) so they can reverse metabolic issues and reclaim their energy—all without crash diets, gimmicks, or calorie counting. https://www.simplyhealthconscious.com/  

What does it mean to be truly mindful, but not in the sense of being in your head and disconnected?  How can we tell the difference when it comes to a fake story? What is 'gut feel' and how can we cultivate it better? The fear of the unknown or being entrapped by deceit causes a lot of anxiety in people as they may so much want to believe a 'story', but in doing so, it may be harmful and not supportive of their health and wellbeing.      My special guest is Brian Berneman, who has a background in neuroscience with more than 15 years of teaching experience, and is able to synthesize modern scientific knowledge with ancient wisdom, including Tibetan Buddhism, Yoga, and meditation.  https://www.consciousaction.co.nz/podcast

The commencement of menstruation can be more life changing than is expected. The transition from a carefree active life in play and sport, to a period each month of mopping up embarrassing fluids and being paranoid that everyone notices, as well as dealing with cramps, mood swings and energy fluctuations, can be quite daunting.      My special guest today is Katrina Christian, a West Australian school teacher and educator about menstrual health.  She specialises in girls’ wellbeing, with a focus on the knowledge, wisdom, and power of the menstrual cycle. https://wellwisewoman.com.au/  https://www.facebook.com/wellwise.com.au

Right now, the maximum human lifespan is 122 years. Experts base that lifespan on the longest-lived person with a verifiable date of birth. However, the average lifespans are very much different, with Australia’s being a bit over 83 years. And this statistic doesn’t even account for years of debilitating illness that may have been prevalent leading up to death.  Why are we falling so short of our maximum biological potential? My special guest is Dr Walter Bennett, a specialist in regenerative, hormone and functional medicine with over 20 years experience, including as Doctor of Chiropractic and Family Nurse Practitioner. https://www.elkrivermedical.org/   [email protected]

Frailty and disability are all too often associated with ageing. The biggest effects seem to be felt from 50 onwards, even though many have a lifespan into their 80s and 90s. Does that mean 40 or 50 years of accelerated weakness, dependency and disability?  Some fitness experts say no; it doesn’t need to be so.  This half of life can be the most rewarding phase where all our wisdom and experience can be supported with health and energy. My special guest today is Timothy Ward, author of the book: THE GOAT WITHIN, a blueprint for living strong with power, vitality, and unstoppable momentum. https://fitnessquadrant.net

How do we know what we want out of life? What motivates us to get anything done at all? What does it mean to seek ‘good times’?  How can we avoid boredom, which saps motivation? This will be a deep dive into the mind to unpick our reasons for doing or not doing.  My special guest today is Christin Schnepf, an adventurous sociologist, human behaviour expert, and Good Time Strategist. He blends Ph.D.-level research with real-world exploration across continents, and has been featured on TED, in China Daily, and on national TV in China.   https://goodtime.app     https://chrisw.co/  https://youtu.be/Kr33tb7ojRM?si=WHrASuFEH7pL8rcM

Autoimmune thyroid diseases are the most prevalent organ-specific autoimmune diseases affecting about 5% of the population. They include Graves’ Disease and Hashimoto Thyroiditis, among others, and reflect the loss of immunological tolerance.      My special guest today is Dr Kevin Smith, a board-certified functional medicine practitioner who has been in practice since 2001.

His second book on functional medicine is scheduled to be released later this year. https://integratedthyroid.com

There can be a wide spectrum of differences from person to person in how stress and magnesium deficiency are expressed. Someone may experience cramps or headaches, while another sleep problems and restless legs. Someone else may develop diabetes, heart disease or heart arrhythmias, hypothyroidism, or digestion and gut problems. How is the body trying to communicate via symptoms?          My special guest today is Dr Evette Rose, an author of 21 books, speaker, and holistic counsellor with over 7,500 clients. She helps people understand resolve emotions that may have impacted our well-being. https://metaphysicalanatomy.com/event_s/ https://evettefreebook.com  Free Ebook: "Restoring The Emotional Body"

We tend to forget the body is biology, and not a metal machine with fixed components like your car. If something goes out of alignment - or out of 'tune' - we can experience a lot of pain from that stress, wear and tear, which also causes magnesium depletion, further weakening the electrical-nervous system and metabolism.      My special guest today is Dr Alex Hilario, founder of Chiropractic Rehabilitation Source in Yonkers, NY.  With over 21 years of experience in chiropractic care, Dr Alex helps patients overcome chronic pain, avoid surgery, and reclaim their quality of life through an holistic, faith-rooted approach to healing. https://chirorehabsource.com/  Dr.Alex.Hilario on instagram 

Rather than masking ongoing pain with medications and no end in sight, why not look at what is causing the issue and fix it?      My special guest today is Dr William Moyal, a chiropractor and Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP) based in Florida, with over 39 years of clinical experience. He has developed a 3-step system in non-surgical treatments for chronic back pain, and his work has been featured on major platforms such as CNN, HGTV, Fox News, NBC Sports Network, and in publications like the Miami Herald and Sun Sentinel. He is also an 18-time author and has been recognized as one of America's Best Spinal Decompression Physicians. https://coralwaydisccenter.com/  linktr.ee/drmoyal

Women tend to outlive their men folk, so they may at some stage be faced with a scenario of living without a partner – or without the ‘team’ they had been used to. How can women stay independent and resilient in their golden years, and in the face of big changes?        My special guest today is Allison McCune-Davis, a Traditional Naturopath and working mum of 5.  She is the author of the book, Sixty Is a Good Start: A Powerful Body, a Purposeful Life, and a Plan to Make it Happen. She inspires women to embrace aging as a time of opportunity, vitality, and purpose, and her motto is:  Feel Good, Look Good, Have Fun. https://AllisonMcCuneDavis.com
