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.

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
