    Send us Fan MailCould the Way You Breathe Be Driving Anxiety & Brain Fog?What if another supplement, diet or health protocol isn't the first place you need to look?What if something as automatic as how you breathe, chew and swallow could be influencing your sleep, nervous system and how you feel during the day?In this episode of Nutrition Gateway, I sit down with Dr Mary Bourke, an experienced chiropractor with more than 30 years in clinical practice and a special interest in orofacial growth, development and function.Mary is a certified Sacro Occipital Technique practitioner and craniopath, as well as CEO of Myo Munchee, continuing the pioneering work begun by her father, Australian dentist Dr Kevin Bourke, almost 60 years ago.And this conversation completely changed the way I think about the mouth.We explore the connection between mouth breathing, nervous system regulation, sleep quality, anxiety and brain fog, particularly for women moving through their 40s, perimenopause and beyond.Mary explains why we are designed to breathe through the nose, what can happen when mouth breathing becomes habitual, and why symptoms such as waking with a dry mouth, snoring, grinding your teeth, jaw tension, morning headaches and never quite feeling refreshed could be clues worth investigating.We also dive into something I had never considered before: the role of the tongue and swallowing.Mary explains how tongue position, swallowing and nasal breathing interact with the muscles of the upper airway and nervous system, and why the simple act of chewing may be far more important to lifelong health than most of us realise.In this episode, we discuss:Why habitual mouth breathing may contribute to overbreathing and nervous system activationThe connection between breathing patterns, anxiety and feeling constantly "wired"Why poor breathing during the day may affect sleep at nightDry mouth, snoring, teeth grinding and morning headaches as potential cluesWhat happens to upper airway muscle tone as women ageWhere your tongue should naturally restWhy swallowing and tongue function matterHow chewing helps exercise the muscles involved in the upper airwayWhy modern soft and convenience foods may mean we're simply not chewing enoughThe fascinating work of Weston A. Price and changes in jaw and facial developmentWhy digestion begins long before food reaches your stomachThe importance of eating slowly, chewing properly and creating a calmer mealtimeWhy children need exposure to different food textures and opportunities to chewThe emerging field of orofacial myofunctional therapyHow chiropractors, dentists, speech pathologists and other practitioners can work collaborativelyMary's work with Myo Munchee and the upcoming Handbook for the HumanFor the woman over 35 who feels as though she is doing all the things for her health but is still waking tired, battling brain fog, feeling anxious or wondering why her body doesn't feel as resilient as it once did, this conversation offers a completely different place to become curious.Because sometimes improving our health isn't about adding more.Sometimes it's about rediscovering the foundational things the human body was designed to do.Breathe. Chew. Swallow. Sleep. Move. Nourish.And perhaps start paying attention to what your mouth has been trying to tell you.About Dr Mary BourkeDr Mary Bourke is an experienced chiropractor with more than 30 years in clinical practice and a special interest in orofacial growth, development and function.

    #037: Could Your Gut Be Driving Your Anxiety? The Science of the Endocannabinoid System | Nikki Freeburn

    What if your anxiety and brain fog weren't a mindset problem at all?

    Today I'm joined by Nikki Freeburn, founder of Institute Botanica in Newcastle and a pioneer in therapeutic plants, biofermentation and natural medicine.

    If you've been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, mentally foggy or like you've tried everything to get your health back on track, this conversation will open your eyes to an entirely different way of understanding your body.

    Nikki shares how our modern approach to health has become fragmented, why so many people are left confused by endless supplements and conflicting advice, and why restoring the body's natural communication systems may be one of the missing pieces in healing.

    We explore the fascinating role of the endocannabinoid system, why gut health influences everything from mood to mental clarity, and how therapeutic plants and biofermentation may help support the body's natural ability to find balance again.

    This is a conversation about curiosity over fear, simplicity over overwhelm, and learning to listen to the incredible wisdom your body already holds.

    In this episode we discuss:

    • Why anxiety and brain fog are often signs the body is out of balance rather than "broken"

    • The hidden role of the endocannabinoid system in regulating mood, inflammation, stress and overall health

    • Why gut health and the microbiome play such an important role in mental wellbeing

    • How therapeutic plants can support the body's own healing processes

    • Why biofermentation is creating so much excitement in the natural health world

    • The difference between chasing symptoms and supporting the body's natural intelligence

    • Practical first steps for women who feel overwhelmed, exhausted and disconnected from themselves

    About Nikki Freeburn

    For more than 16 years, Nikki has developed innovative therapeutic applications using medicinal plants, botanical formulations and biofermentation.

  • #036: The Hidden Cost of Stress on Intimacy, Pleasure & Connection | Rebecca Levy

    #036: The Hidden Cost of Stress on Intimacy, Pleasure & Connection | Rebecca Levy
    2026/05/27

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode, Sally-Anne is joined by Rebecca Levy, a Newcastle-based Somatic Sexologist, Sex Educator and Relationship Counsellor who works with individuals and couples to help them feel safer in their bodies, communicate more clearly and build deeper intimate connection.

    Rebecca combines counselling, somatic practices and sex education to support people in reducing shame, understanding healthy boundaries, exploring embodied consent and reconnecting with themselves and their partners in a way that feels natural, grounded and healing.

    Together, Sally-Anne and Rebecca explore the often-unspoken connection between stress, nervous system safety, pleasure, intimacy and relationship disconnection.

    This conversation gently unpacks why so many high-achieving women can feel overwhelmed, touched out, anxious or disconnected from their desire, especially when they are carrying the mental load of family, work, relationships and everyday life.

    Rebecca shares why intimacy is not simply about sex, but about safety, communication, embodiment, self-awareness and the ability to be present in your own body.

    Inside this episode, we explore:

    • Why stress and overwhelm can shut down desire
    • The connection between nervous system safety and intimacy
    • Why obligation can quietly damage connection in long-term relationships
    • How shame impacts pleasure, communication and sexual wellbeing
    • What embodied consent actually means
    • Why women often disconnect from their bodies during intimacy
    • How breath, slowing down and self-awareness can support reconnection
    • Why pleasure matters for women’s overall wellbeing
    • The importance of maintaining identity inside a relationship
    • How couples can create more intentional time for connection

    Rebecca also shares insight into her work supporting individuals and couples both face-to-face and via Zoom, as well as her role as a registered member of the Australian Counselling Association and President of the Somatic Sex Educators Association of Australasia.

    This is a mature, grounded and deeply validating conversation for women who have ever wondered why intimacy feels different in seasons of stress, why desire can disappear, or how to begin reconnecting with their body, their partner and their own sense of pleasure without shame or pressure.
