Wellness trends are everywhere right now — and honestly, some deserve a gold star… while others need a gentle (or not-so-gentle) reality check 😅 In this episode, we put a few buzzy health trends under the microscope. We talk electrolytes and creatine — why they’ve suddenly become everyone’s favourite supplements, and whether they actually earn their hype when it comes to energy, focus, and performance. Then we turn our attention to the carnivore diet. Spoiler: we’re not anti-protein, but we a...

We chat about the role of the nervous system, hydration (yes, it matters more than you think), fibre done properly, pelvic floor health, and even gut infecti...

The holidays have a funny way of turning what should be perfectly normal conversations into emotional minefields.

In this episode, we dive into a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough airtime — postpartum depletion. We chat about how common it really is (spoiler: way more than most people realise!) and why prepping for that phase is just as important as prepping for birth itself. We get into the physical, emotional, and nutritional sides of recovery, and share some practical ways new mums can nourish themselves and actually ask for help — because doing it all alone is so last season. We also talk about th...

Let's dive headfirst into the world of alcohol alternatives where we unpack why alcohol holds such a grip on our culture, how it affects our health, and what happens when you start asking, “Do I even want this drink?” In this episode of live taste testing some of the options on the market - Amie has Nat taste-test some surprisingly good (and bad) booze-free beverages and offers a podcast-exclusive sneak peak into her medicinal mocktail range; botanical blends designed to make you feel good wi...
