Kate Mahoney, former NTA instructor & founder of the Supplement Academy, breaks down why less than 15% of supplements are worth taking, how to read labels with confidence, & why “food first” beats chasing the next trending pill.

Kate Mahoney, is a food-first dietary supplement expert with 30 years’ experience and the founder of the Supplement Academy. She teaches health professionals and consumers how to evaluate supplement quality and effectiveness without affiliate bias or brand influence - so people can make informed, confident decisions.

Episode Description

If you’ve ever bought a supplement because “someone said it worked”… & then it ended up in your supplement graveyard, this episode will validate your experience.

I’m joined by supplement expert Kate Mahoney - a natural health geek and food-first functional nutrition practitioner with nearly 30 years of experience who accidentally became a dietary supplement expert along the way. She shares the facts: most supplements are not worth your money, & some can quietly create imbalances if taken long-term or taken in the wrong form.

We cover the real reasons most supplement education is confusing (hint: conflicts of interest), why “recommended doses” can be misleading, & the surprising differences between US vs Australian supplement labeling.

If you’re a health-conscious consumer or a practitioner who wants to lift your standards & protect your clients, this is a must-listen.

What You’ll Learn

• Why 85% of supplements worldwide are NOT worth taking (and fatty acids 90%)
• The supplement industry’s biggest issue: profit-driven marketing disguised as education
• Why “if it’s on the shelf, it must be safe” is a dangerous assumption
• The difference between US (DSHEA) and Australia (TGA) oversight — and why it matters
• Why there is no universal “everyone should take this” supplement (bio-individuality)
• The magnesium myth: how long-term use can create mineral imbalances (calcium vs magnesium)
• Why “detox” & parasite cleanses are often backwards - & what actually supports detox
• The hidden label trap: “500mg magnesium glycinate” isn’t the same as 500mg elemental magnesium
• Why “recommended dose” depends on country rules, forms, sourcing, & what the label doesn’t say

Sick of guessing what to eat… doing well on Monday… then falling off by Thursday because cravings hit, energy crashes roll in, your sleep breaks, or your body feels puffy and inflamed?

In this short promo episode of Nutrition Gateway, functional nutritionist Sally-Anne Kearns shares why your body isn’t broken - you’re simply missing a clear, sustainable process. She introduces the February HEALthy 40 Day Reset: a 40-day rhythm designed for high-capacity women who are running on fumes and want to feel better without perfection.

You’ll hear why symptoms like cravings, mood swings, “wired but tired” energy, unpredictable digestion and broken sleep aren’t character flaws - they’re feedback. This reset helps you learn the language of your body, personalise what works for you (bio-individual), and stop feeling gaslit when tests come back “normal” but you still don’t feel normal.

If you’re dealing with any of these, this episode is for you:
• Sugar or carb cravings + never feeling satisfied
• Puffy/inflamed body + stubborn symptoms
• Energy crashes + needing an afternoon nap
• Broken sleep (falling asleep or staying asleep)
• Unpredictable digestion
• Mood swings + feeling reactive under stress

What’s inside the HEALthy 40 Day Reset (February intake)

Dates: 5 February → 16 March (AEDT)
Live coaching: 6 live Zoom calls — Thursdays 1:00pm AEDT (recorded)
Includes: portal access (videos, guides, checklists), optional trackers, and a private community for accountability + real-time support.

Foundations we focus on:
Hydration rhythm • gut-loving swaps • 80/20 consistency • movement prompts • sleep starter steps

Optional add-on: wearable light-signalling biohacking tools to support your goals (performance, weight, nervous system regulation). Totally optional - recommended based on your needs.

This is not a detox. It’s a reset you can live inside real life - building trust with your body again through small “yes” steps stacked over 40 days.

Investment: $139 AUD

Australian drinking culture is loud, normalised - and expensive. In this straight-talking episode, men’s health coach Andre Obradovic breaks down why Aussie men drink (stress relief, identity, belonging, avoidance), how “I only drink socially” often becomes a pattern, and why alcohol quietly sabotages the results most men want: fat loss, recovery, sleep quality, and testosterone.

We unpack the hidden costs beyond “extra calories”: the sleep disruption that drives cravings and poor decisions, the hormone hit that slows progress, and the way weekend drinking can wipe out a week of training and nutrition. Andre also calls out the fitness industry’s “cheat day + cardio” trap, shares practical scripts for handling social pressure without being weird or preachy, and gives a simple, measurable 30-day minimum effective plan that actually moves the needle.

Andre is known for his no-nonsense approach to nutrition, mindset, and performance. Since 2016, he’s coached everyone from everyday men to executives and athletes - helping them reduce stress, improve sleep, and drop stubborn body fat with clear systems that remove decision fatigue.

What we cover

• The real reasons men drink: stress relief, identity, belonging, permission, avoidance
• When “social drinking” becomes a habit (and how to test it)
• Work functions, judgement, and behaviour: the executive drinking problem
• Alcohol’s big hits: testosterone, sleep, fat loss, and recovery
• Why cheat days keep people stuck (and why the industry loves them)
• “No thanks” scripts for mates and social pressure (truth + “white lie” options)
• Parenting + leadership: what you model at home matters
• The 30-day plan: alcohol rules, food rules, sleep rules, steps, and structure

Key takeaways

• Weekend drinking can stall fat loss and recovery for days.
• Alcohol isn’t just calories - it changes hormones, sleep quality, and decision-making.
• If your mates mock your health goals, they’re passengers, not partners.
• Most men don’t need more cardio - they need better food, better sleep, and daily walking.
• You don’t wing health: plan dinners, cook extra protein, portion leftovers.
