This week I chat with one of my favourite naturopaths, the effervescent and often irreverent Alisha Lynch. Alisha has been a naturopath for many years and now has a business that’s ALL about flower essences. And she’s got quite the cult following of happy mums who use her products on the entire family. Alisha takes us through the basics, and answers the questions: What are flower essences? How do flower essences work? How do I use flower essences? She also gives us an insight on what it’s like to suffer from adrenal fatigue and shares advice on how to achieve emotional balance in a fast paced world. This is the go-to woman to get some of your sanity back when your life’s in overdrive.

Meet Cinzia Cozzolino, aka Nutrition Darling – a qualified nutritionist and healthy food entrepreneur. Growing up in an Italian family, she has real food and home-style cooking etched into her DNA. But after living the rock n’ roll lifestyle for many years, Cinzia had an awakening when it came to her health. She did a complete 180 and went off to study nutrition as a single mum at age 39 (wow!). After graduating and working in private practice at a gym, she was again drawn back to the kitchen, where she found her happy place making delicious healthy food for the masses. Cinzia brings a wealth of experience and wisdom to the table in this chat. Find out her hot tips for raising healthy kids and navigating the (often rebellious and experimental!) teenage years. Listen to her “no stress” philosophy and traditional outlook when it comes to real food culture. Get her take on food fads, superfoods and extreme diets. Cinzia also has an exciting new product out (that’s been years in development!) called Smoothie Bomb

This week I chat with one of the trailblazers in the health blogging world – Alice Nicholls from The Whole Daily. Although she’s a beacon of light in the wellness industry, she wasn’t always this healthy and happy. She’s battled some pretty dark demons, but has come out the other side stronger, focused and determined to help others live their best possible lives. Find out Alice’s views on busy lifestyles and the effect they have on our health. Learn tips and tricks for self-care and mindfulness, even when you think you don’t have time. We then jump further down the rabbit hole and deep dive into the connection between stress, anger and disease. We talk about chronic illness, pain, and the long road back to wellness through changing your mindset. We also delve into the challenges and frustrations of dealing with family members who are ill, and what to do when they won’t follow what you think is best for them (ah… don’t we all have one of these people in our lives???). If you’re struggling with stress, anxiety,

Meet Guy Lawrence. He owns a biz called 180 Nutrition, which makes great quality supplements for the fitness industry. Coming from a world where low calorie and low fat philosophies reigned supreme, he sought out his own truth very early on, using approaches that were considered “outside the box.” Listen to his story of a life-changing moment where his interactions with cancer patients created a complete shift in mindset. Discover his frustrations with the fitness industry and why he believes the mainstream has it all wrong. My favourite quote: “Our fitness industry is NOT based on health.” Whoa! His approach is unique: Question everything. Assume nothing. Focus on gratitude. Turn your TV around to face the wall. In this interview, we cover: How you can lose weight by eating more. Why weight training is for EVERYONE. How nutrition can help heal the gut. And he includes his top tips when it comes to living your best and healthiest life. With so many amazing takeaways the whole way through this chat, I urge you

Meet Linda Ellis (aka Lunch Lady Lou) – she is singlehandedly attempting to change the way that office workers do lunch in Sydney. Although she grew up in a household that cooked meals from scratch, she didn’t develop an interest in food until much later. After a stint working in a busy office, she discovered her new tag “The Healthy Salad Maker” and the rest just grew from there. Having left the busy corporate world behind, she now delivers healthy lunches throughout the Sydney CBD, to a cult following of hungry workers. But like any of my Shiny Healthy You guests, there’s more to this story than just a yarn about healthy food. Listen to Lou as she chats about her run in with cancer, and the change in her mindset that ensued (and the weird and wonderful speed bumps along the way!). Listen to her recount how she drew on her overseas trips for food inspiration, and the shift in perspective that came from comparing other food cultures to our own. If you love to “nerd out” on food, hit play, sit back and enjoy!

Meet Rebecca (Bex) Weller, health coach, author, and creator of Sexy Sobriety, a program that helps women to reduce their alcohol intake. Bex is a beacon of health and happiness these days, but it wasn’t always this way. From the days of her corporate “work hard, play harder” lifestyle, to turning vegan and giving up the booze, it’s been a wild and crazy ride… so much so that she’s even written a book! In this podcast, you’ll find out how Bex went from calorie counting, frozen dinners and “plastic foods” to eating a nourishing wholefood vegan diet. Discover the unexpected benefits she gained from eating gluten and dairy free (like saying bye bye to eczema and excess weight!).

Bex is the master of re-framing – in this interview she talks about cooking as a form of self-care, and how to distract yourself so that

Meet Damian Kristof – chiropractor, naturopath, podcaster and multi-passionate wellness entrepreneur. This bloke has spent years immersing himself in research and cutting edge studies, leaving no stone unturned, and this week I’m stoked to be picking his brain about natural health and wellness. In this episode we discuss the difference between disease and dis-ease and why natural therapists treat the whole person rather than actual illnesses. We talk about what’s wrong with applying the current medical model of clinical trials to chiropractic care, and why we can never use this research system to prove that chiropractic treatment works. We discuss the advantages of chiropractic care, and look at who might benefit from treatment. Find out the different causes of stress, how it affects the body and how this can all lead to adrenal fatigue. Learn how to balance the body with nutrition during times of stress.

Welcome to 45 minutes where we bring the focus back to BLISS: What makes YOU happy? How can you feel more supported in your choices? How can you enjoy the transition to healthy living, rather than

Meet Marcus Pearce – he wants you to experience what it’s like to have a truly exceptional life. He is all about educating and empowering you to make your own call on what’s healthy and right for you, rather that just going with status quo or with what the media says is good. This bloke has gone from boozy late nights out with the boys, to quitting smoking for love, and trying out all kinds of health ideals to see what would fit best. Find out how he took his diet to extremes and why that didn’t work for him, and how he makes his food choices now. Get the lowdown on his recent trip to Ikaria, Greece, also known as “The Island Where People Forget to Die,” and find out why it’s a hotbed of longevity and wellness. Marcus reckons he’s discovered the missing link to living a long life, and you’ll never guess what it is! (Hint: It’s NOT nutrition!)
