Up For A Chat

Introduction. If there is one thing the chatters can say about Lisa Tamati from New Plymoth is that she is relentless. Her story to save her mother and Father from medical negativity and can we say ignorance is heart wrenching at first but inspirational without a doubt. Lisa is a researcher, she should have an honorary PhD.  Her knowledge goes far beyond many health professionals, and she is tenacious in learning what she needs to learn in order to help herself, her family and her clients. Lisa believes that we need to take hold of our own health even when the medical establishment says there is no hope.  She finds hope, then she finds the specialists, then she interviews them on her website then she gets to work to make changes. This is one incredible podcast and you will note that the chatters were quiet through Lisa’s incredible story and journey.  This is one not to miss   Quotes I didn’t have a medical background but I warted to learn and not be told NO. Where there’s a will there’s a way. I always ask what else is there? What else don’t they know? It is not a magic bullet or one pill fixes all. It requires a lot of effort to come to the edge. The medical system is flawed it is very reactive, not preventative, it’s about the dollars. Medical knowledge is doubling every 72 days, we cannot keep up. If you give the reins to someone else you may be sorely disappointed. The biggest learning in my running was not the trophies or medals but to fight and take one more step. I’m doing what I can with what I have. I seek all I can learn. Every day is a learning day. There’s nothing more important than your health. What is going to serve me and my genetics best? I am fitter, stronger and healthier than I have ever been before. Muscle is the currency for longevity. When you set your mind to something that’s where you’ll settle. When I lost my dad I felt I had really failed him. I am humbled by the people I learn from, but I’m a generalist.   Where to Find Lisa Podcast Pushing the Limits.  https://www.lisatamati.com/podcast/ www.lisatamati.com https://www.youtube.com/c/LisaTamatiCoach   Cyndi O’Meara Links Website – https://thenutrition.academy/ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/cyndiomeara/ https://www.instagram.com/thenutrition_academy/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/cyndi.lovetto https://www.facebook.com/thechnutritionacademy   Kim Morrison Links Website – https://www.kimmorrison.com/ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/kimmorrison28/ https://www.instagram.com/twenty.8.essential/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/KimMorrisonTraining https://www.facebook.com/twenty8essentials

The Chatters and Megan draw forth a modern women’s multi-tasking role and how it impacts on burn out.  They also ask the hard questions of what do you want for your life, if you follow your joy what would you do next, what is your purpose, what is burnout and so many more questions.  Not only are there questions but wonderful solutions. Megan takes us on a holistic approach to work, health, play, motherhood, friendship and leisure. She is known around the world for her ‘brave’ and ‘refreshing’ approach to women’s leadership, empowerment, and wellbeing, she is forging a new path for women to own their power, embrace their sovereignty and rise. Megan is a bestselling author, and the Founder and CEO of Women Rising, a women’s leadership and empowerment company with a mission to support women in their career, leadership journey and life. A celebrated coach, influential writer, committed researcher and compelling advocate for change, Megan draws on over a decade as an award-winning entrepreneur, a 20-year corporate career and a distinctive fusion of science, spirit, and experience.   Quotes There is a science and a practice on how to be well. We are all leaders and all followers, and all have the capacity to be leaders. Women have been taught to fit the male model. I am an early riser. A lot of women are stressing to get by. Only 8% said they’re thriving at work. There is an epidemic of burnout for women. Women do all of the things. Stop defining and confining what the patriarchy is telling them. We are in the greatest most challenging time of our lives. Gen X thinks they can do everything and be super women. We are a product of our environment. There is such a need for men to have safe spaces to lower their armour and be vulnerable. If you followed the joy what would you do next? Women don’t think they have the time, space, energy or permission to do what they want. We build our purpose we don’t find our purpose. What if love is the language of leadership instead of fear? Part of the feminine is rising in us all and with that comes a values shift.   Where to find Megan Dalla Camina www.Womenrisingco.com www.megandallacamina.com Instagram: @megandallacamina   Cyndi O’Meara Links Website – https://thenutrition.academy/ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/cyndiomeara/ https://www.instagram.com/thenutrition_academy/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/cyndi.lovetto https://www.facebook.com/thechnutritionacademy   Kim Morrison Links Website – https://www.kimmorrison.com/ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/kimmorrison28/ https://www.instagram.com/twenty.8.essential/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/KimMorrisonTraining https://www.facebook.com/twenty8essentials

Helen Marshall, a certified Primal Health Coach and founder of the grain-free food range Primal Alternative, she transformed her life after facing a health crisis. She struggled with chronic nausea, constipation, insomnia, physical pain, headaches, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and phobias. To reclaim her health, Helen shifted to a diet centered around plants and animals, eliminating grains, sugar, and seed oils, while embracing sunlight, sleep, nature, and meaningful connections. Inspired by her success, Helen franchised her baking business to empower other women passionate about clean living to start their own home-based businesses, making a positive impact in their communities. It was a pleasure to have her on my show, and I hope you enjoy this episode. Website: https://primalalternative.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/primalalternative Primalista License Quotes I had an intuitive thought to go gluten-free. My hubby said we are not going paleo without cookies. There is a lack of really honest food out there, we wanted to be the antidote. My focus was to get a national network of home bakers. What makes us different is the business model in behind it. It is a business in a box. I’m helping home bakers become business owners. There is no magic wand in this business. It all comes down to the gut. Grains can be very inflammatory. Going gluten free and grain free was pivotal in my gut healing journey. A lot of women want to come home in their own environment and work from home setting their own schedules. Being able to make changes in people’s lives is such a gift. Many primalistas have been on their own healing journey. I’m part of a business that is very heart-centred. The reason this brand has done so well is we have been able to stand on the shoulders of giants. The kitchen is my happy place. I do it for the love of it.

Juliet is a global leading sexologist and mentor, she is well known. For her bold straight to the point manner and for authentically sharing her own experience as a lover of all things, sex, sensuality and business leadership. The Chatters love this chat with Juliet, she is down to earth, knowledgeable and thinks holistically about relationships and sex.  It’s all about what brings Joy into your life.  The Chatters and Juliet talk about kundalini, tantra, self-love, Gottman, the 60 second kiss, the 20 second hug, vitality, radiance pleasure and intimacy.  This interview brings lots of wonderful surprises and that there is more to sex that sex. Quotes A lot of the challenges we are facing in life are indeed linked to sexuality. The base of the body in the lower two chakras is where sexual energy is stored. Porn is like takeaway food. Our sex education in schools is not the best and it needs to be explored at home. It is so important we get support via therapy to go through and heal from past traumas. There are three types of sex – takeaway sex, good sex and ecstatic sex. We are born with what we look like and the reality is we are all beautiful and unique in our own way. There’s no perfect vagina, we are all perfect. For women the positive pull is our heart, for men it is their penis. We all need the lead-up to be ready to be entered. I am all for one-night stands if people are going into it consciously. It’s about what we want, desire, our intention and what we are seeking then having them all align with our values. I would be very up front about what I am looking for. Everyone’s experience of love is so unique. We will meet someone where we are at. All the little moments build up to the big moments.

Evan Mark Katz was a total surprise and absolute wealth of knowledge around the subject of dating. Whenever the chatters asked a question, he related it back to food and health.  The chatters were surprised that there is a protocol to finding your perfect match especially in the realm of online dating. Evans clients are usually smart intelligent, successful 35- to 50-year-old women he tells Chatters that the protocol for dating includes, self-confidence, actually meeting men, going on dates on a weekly basis, understanding men, relationship nurturing and commitment. He is the king of dating and has helped hundreds of women find their perfect match. Kim throws some curly questions in and Cyndi is amazed by his breadth of knowledge of the dating game from both sides of the equation. Listen in if Maybe you’re still reeling from your latest breakup.Maybe you’re wasted years in relationships with selfish men.Maybe you wonder why finding love is so easy for other women.Maybe you’re burned out on apps, texting, and dating.Maybe you feel that there are no good guys left.Maybe you’re afraid of opening your heart only to get hurt again.Maybe you’re conscious of getting older.Maybe you’re afraid of being alone forever.Maybe you feel incomplete without the love you truly want.Maybe you don’t trust your own judgment with men.Maybe you’ve even convinced yourself that love is impossible.   Where to Find Evan https://www.evanmarckatz.com/ The Love U Podcast- https://www.evanmarckatz.com/the-love-u-podcast Free Download for Up For A Chat Listeners https://www.evanmarckatz.com/chat   QUOTES We think dating is different but it’s just a skillset. The old world still exists but the problem is we are isolated. It’s important to leverage technology the best way you can. I offer a tool to meet people you would otherwise not get to meet. I think you should go on at least one date a week. No one needs to be a dating expert if you’re default is anxiety. In a good relationship good sex is the icing on the cake. In a not-so-good relationship sex is the cake. Are you in a relationship where you feel safe, heard, understood and loved unconditionally – like you love your kids. Being a great catch doesn’t make you one. You are the CEO of your love life! If it’s a gimmick it’s not a good idea. The way to choose someone is more methodical. Compatibility is determined by how he treats you over time. Dating well is a way of being it’s not a desperate husband hunt. I’m not a blind marriage advocate I am a happy marriage advocate. Chemistry matters it takes time discipline and patience. I’m not a blind optimist, I’m a realist.   Cyndi O’Meara Links Website-https://thenutrition.academy/ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/cyndiomeara/ https://www.instagram.com/thenutrition_academy/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/cyndi.lovetto https://www.facebook.com/thechnutritionacademy Kim Morrison Links Website- https://www.kimmorrison.com/ Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/kimmorrison28/ https://www.instagram.com/twenty.8.essential/ Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/KimMorrisonTraining https://www.facebook.com/twenty8essentials

Introduction: Dr Anthea Todd is not even 30, she is a published author, chiropractor, she has done studies in Womens Health and Reproduction and is an incredible skateboarder who can, film, talk about health and skate through the busy streets of where she lives.  The chatters are blown away by the calibre of insight, knowledge, experience this generation seems to have harnessed.  They are stepping up to the plate to help humanity and Anthea is one of them.  She will change the trajectory of  human health.  Her fundamentals of health include a well functioning nervous system, healthy metabolism, blood sugar regulation and the need for nutrients.  Her book What’s My Body Telling Me is a must read for all seeking to become the co-creators of their own health and wellbeing.  The Chatters had many aha’s and questions for this incredible young lady.   Quotes I come from a lineage of healers and became obsessed with what the body is telling you. Everyone is so overwhelmed and confused. You are taught there’s nothing wrong with you unless tests can prove it. We are missing the warning signs, the whispers. Is it normal? Or is your body trying to tell you something? Our bodies are always giving us signs and we have to remember it is on our side. You are alive, because your body is always looking out for you. The things you can’t see create the things you can’t see. You need to ask yourself, if your body has what it needs to function at its best. Looking after your body should not be seen as another job. We place too much emphasis on external things to fix us. Use your mind as a resource and your body to make the decision. Listen to all the little things. Get quiet. Use your self-energy. Believe your body is always looking out for you. Ask it if there is anything it would like you to know?   Where to find Dr Anthea Todd Web: https://www.femalefundamentals.com.au/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.antheatodd Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-anthea-todd-9a638092/ Order Book: https://www.femalefundamentals.com.au/what’s-my-body-telling-me-dr-anthea-todd   Cyndi O’Meara Links Website-https://thenutrition.academy/ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/cyndiomeara/ https://www.instagram.com/thenutrition_academy/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/cyndi.lovetto https://www.facebook.com/thechnutritionacademy   Kim Morrison Links Website- https://www.kimmorrison.com/ Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/kimmorrison28/ https://www.instagram.com/twenty.8.essential/ Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/KimMorrisonTraining https://www.facebook.com/twenty8essentials

Introduction Dr Nelum Dharmapriya is in the chatters neck of the woods, but they had not heard about her until recently.  When people are on the same trajectory there seems to be an invisible connection that draws them together.  Nelum has been a GP for 20 years, but it wasn’t until her own health crisis that she realised that the diagnosis and medication route was not working for her and decided to research and try something new.  She read the Obesity Code by Dr Jason Fung and it made sense.  She chose 4 strategies, she prioritised Real Food, prioritised protein, went low carb and added healthy fats. She realised that perhaps her patients would improve if she also helped them with these priorities.  Dr Nelum began Whole Food Revolution where she teaches her patients the basics of good eating but also ensures their mindset is set for the changes ahead.  1 day workshops help people through the process. Quotes People knew what to do but couldn’t do it. I was taught to diagnose and treat Snoring could be excess fat in the tongue due to visceral fat. Brown fat is in the mitochondria and generates heat. 4 Strategies; Real food, prioritise protein, low carb and add healthy fats Mindset was important.

Introduction Our guest today is Cameron Borg, a 27 year old man, wise beyond his years.  Listen in as we ask questions about his life, his study and his job as a pulmonary scientist and of course his second love Rikki Flow Nutrition Podcast.  You won’t want to miss this one. Cameron Borg is a qualified nutritionist, pulmonary scientist, podcaster and health coach. He has spent the best part of the last decade learning about why our health is deteriorating and what we need to do in order to mend it. He has worked with hundreds of clients on the foundational aspects of their health to allow them to build and optimize their health from the ground up. Quotes You can be your own doctor if you are paying attention What you eat can change the way you feel and impact your life You can learn more from one good book than three years of university I loved being one on one, I’m going in the complete opposite to the conventional way If you really listen to a patient they will tell you what is going on People rarely change by being told what to do they can only be through making your own mistakes Vegetarianism is like a right of passage for those interested in nutrition I was in an intellectually vulnerable space when veganism was introduced to me. Listening to Dr Jack Kruse when the whole facade fell away and I realised there was so much more to this than food. If you are concerned about animals you should also be concerned for yourself. There is so much more to meat equals bad Without seafood we do not have big brains this gives DHA. I needed to be slapped across the face and did that privately (on veganism) There is no time space only conscious agents and realism The most reliable effect is the placebo effect and drug companies have to beat it, everything is measured against it. You must make mistakes in order to get to where you are.   Where to find Cameron www.ricciflownutrition.com @ricciflownutrition Youtube –  Ricci Flow Nutrition Spotify: Ricci Flow Nutrition Podcast   Cyndi O’Meara Links Website-https://thenutrition.academy/ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/cyndiomeara/ https://www.instagram.com/thenutrition_academy/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/cyndi.lovetto https://www.facebook.com/thechnutritionacademy   Kim Morrison Links Website- https://www.kimmorrison.com/ Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/kimmorrison28/ https://www.instagram.com/twenty.8.essential/ Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/KimMorrisonTraining https://www.facebook.com/twenty8essentials

You don’t have to do everything they say to do. I want to do what I want to do. I let my body do its thing, I trusted it. I don’t want to have to fight someone to do what I want to do. I handed my kids seaweed not lollypops. It is more about trusting your own body. We need to change our thinking on what it means to give birth. I see what everyone else is doing and do the complete opposite. Quality over quantity. Hospitals are great when you need them in an emergency. We focus so much on what everyone else thinks we should be doing, You are the best parents for your kids and know more than anything what’s best for your kids. Trust ourselves more.   Cyndi O’Meara Links Website-https://thenutrition.academy/ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/cyndiomeara/ https://www.instagram.com/thenutrition_academy/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/cyndi.lovetto https://www.facebook.com/thechnutritionacademy   Kim Morrison Links Website- https://www.kimmorrison.com/ Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/kimmorrison28/ https://www.instagram.com/twenty.8.essential/ Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/KimMorrisonTraining https://www.facebook.com/twenty8essentials

Introduction;  Perry Venakis is a 60 year old energetic power house that wants to help people be the best version of who they are no matter what age.  His whole life he has been studying , health, nutrition, genetics, fitness, diabetes, longevity, martial arts, biochemistry to name a few.  He specialises in sarcopenia otherwise known as age related muscle loss.  He talks to the chatters about this being a problem intrinsically and extrinsically.  He has the answer and if you are not excited about change after listening to Perry then the chatters are not sure what will get you inspired to make the changes to be the best you can be. It’s a simple formula of lifestyle  and diet changes, but with Perry’s N90 program he has, that is scientifically proven, he can help with that aging muscle loss.  Muscle loss means less activity, less health, less energy, less ability and so much more.  It’s not easily diagnosed but can be easily witnessed in the aging population. Listen in to this incredibly energetic hour with the chatters and Perry Venakis.   Where to find Perry Website: https://www.n90.com.au/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/N90.nutrition Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/n90.nutrition/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkgS5AHcPqvUWMBHN27CS0g   Quotes I have seen that body builders have a loophole in their diet, there’s a big hole in nutrition. The more you learn the more you realise you don’t know. There is two parts to wellbeing – the intreinsic and the extrinsic. The human body cannot store protein. As we age we want to grow muscle not lose it. You can turn this around and stop sarcopenia at any age. We are only 5% of a group who want to change. The dose creates the poison. My opinion is this is wrong and we will crash into that brick wall. A question I ask myself is, ‘Did our ancestors eat this way?’ Why N90? 90 days is whre your journey begins. Learn how to eat, what to eat, and how much to eat! Get older comfortably and healthily. You can maintain muscle mass whilst losing weight. Eat, move and be healthy.   Cyndi O’Meara Links Website-https://thenutrition.academy/ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/cyndiomeara/ https://www.instagram.com/thenutrition_academy/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/cyndi.lovetto https://www.facebook.com/thechnutritionacademy   Kim Morrison Links Website- https://www.kimmorrison.com/ Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/kimmorrison28/ https://www.instagram.com/twenty.8.essential/ Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/KimMorrisonTraining https://www.facebook.com/twenty8essentials

Introduction Dr Scott is a passionate teacher in nutrition and chiropractic neurology as well as Sleep/Airway medicine. Inspired to become a Chiropractor by his uncle, Scott studied Biochemistry and Physiology at Auckland University, and Chiropractic at the NZCA School of Chiropractic. He graduated in the first class, and has practiced in NZ, and Queensland. In addition to his Bachelor of science and his degree in Chiropractic, Scott also holds a Masters degree in Nutrition Medicine, and post Graduate qualifications in environmental medicine. The Chatters talked to Scott about snoring and how can we fix this ever growing issue that has health consequences.  His surprising simple to do’s might mean the men in the chatters life get more sleep themselves. Socials and Website www.optihuman.com.au www.advancerehab.com.au www.optimalsleepairwayhealth.com   Book First Principles; How a small problem in early life creates havoc across time by Scott Wustenberg Quotes A drive for survival guided me to look at retraining. Chiropractic is a great starting point, it takes away stress on normal function and flow on nervous system. Airway dysfunction causes sleep dysfunction. The MTHFR gene affects ability of the body to utilise folate. It all starts in pregnancy. Health is a continuum what you have as a child will continue on into your adult life. If you have fragmented sleep you cannot heal. Snoring leads to health consequences. Not sleeping well and snoring will become an inability to be dynamic at 90years of age. It is so important to see that it’s a cost that needs to be paid as an investment. Sleep fragmentation has a huge effect on cognitive function. Deep sleep is where we repair the body. Classic medical models are not providing answers for us. Perhaps we have to learn a new twist on old things? Chewing is much more than getting calories into you, it’s a neurological process. Your brain is very expensive architecture, if you don’t use it you will lose it. Hope allows the capacity for change. Hope is the essential thing to pair with curiosity. We can make a difference and keep moving forward. Sleep, breathe, heal.   Cyndi O’Meara Links Website-https://changinghabits.com.au/ https://thenutrition.academy/ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/cyndiomeara/ https://www.instagram.com/thenutrition_academy/ https://www.instagram.com/changinghabits_hq/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/cyndi.lovetto https://www.facebook.com/changinghabits https://www.facebook.com/thechnutritionacademy   Kim Morrison Links Website- https://www.kimmorrison.com/ Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/kimmorrison28/ https://www.instagram.com/twenty.8.essential/ Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/KimMorrisonTraining https://www.facebook.com/twenty8essentials

Dr M has been in the Health, Wellness and Performance space for over 20 years. Spending her early years in private practice as a Chiropractor developing a very keen interest in helping her clients with their Stress Adaptation structurally and through Posture Correction along with wellness workshops.  The chatters enjoy learning all about stress adaption performance and designing a life.   How to find Dr M www.alignedu.com.au https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmariazuschmann/ www.instagram.com/aligned.u www.mitchellrdchiropractic.com.au www.instagram.com/mitchellrdchiropractic.com.au   Quotes It’s important to respect each other’s different opinions and know when to pick your battles Unless someone asks for help, I don’t offer it Simplify as much as possible in your world I had somewhat of a spiritual awakening in connection to the Universe I could be really sad, cross and bitter or double down on my self-care and get through this time Relatively speaking I chose to get through that period of grief faster. You can stay in it or ruminate in it, I take all steps to live my best life. Millionaries pay no attention to astrology but billionaires do! Everything will seem like it is out of order but trust it to work out. If you’re not getting adjusted by a vitalistic chiropractor, you should! I am not apologising for it anymore. We’re always magnetising – whether it’s shit or good stuff. Ask yourself… who do I want to be? What we grieve when people leave is often their characteristics too. We have a variety of people attracted into our lives to fill those gaps. Illness can be a lack of integrating stress. You can’t beat yourself up for what you don’t know. We’re either designing our life or someone else is designing it for us. You want to design for the best possible energy. Remove any noise that is not making you feel good. I have a no dickhead policy! I will be who I want to be, it makes connections to others more powerful.

Introduction Gundi Rhoades is an author, vet, farmer, mother and nature lover.  She has written the revolutionary book The Food Solution.  Kim and Cyndi quiz her about how we can be part of the solution to look after health and planet health rather than being part of the problem.  We may only be 2 people but if everyone does the right thing by making sure we consume food grown in ecologically rich soils, nor sprayed with chemicals then collectively we can change the trajectory of human, animal and planet health.  Cyndi and Kim and such fun with Gundi, she is intelligent, funny, witty, serious and above all an inspiration.   Quotes Cowgirls dream of being a vet. I was environmentally aware as a teenager. People are grieving, lack of snow, normal weather patterns, they fear but don’t believe they can do anything. We can feed the system that heals planet earth or feed the system that destroys it. Roundup kills bacteria, fungi and plants, modern agriculture puts the chemistry back in the soil, but has no thought for ecology Glyphosate destroys the ecology of the soil. We need to eat for today to save tomorrow.

It’s official, Kim and Cyndi have a new crush.  Dr Michelle Woolhouse’s interview was the most heart warming experience for our two chatters.  They talked about the medical model, how it needs to change one practitioner at a time, how 35% of Australian GP’s now call themselves integrative and that more and more were realizing the importance of wholistic health care and not reductionism.  Dr Woolhouse talks about what Evidence Based Medicine is, it is not just about the science but also the clinical judgement by the doctor and the patient values and preferences. The heart was a big topic, not just the physical but so much more. Dr Michelles Bio “It is not only until we explore the whole person, that true health can be found”. Dr Michelle Woolhouse is a doctor, mind-body medicine expert, keynote speaker, Founding Medical Director of health tech start-up Vively, Podcast host and Author of The Wonder Within. She is an expert in mind-body medicine and how by embracing the whole you can change your life, health and relationships. She educates widely in the areas of whole person health including mental health issues, such as anxiety, stress and burn-out, psycho-neuro-immunology and women’s hormones. Dr Michelle has advanced post-graduate training in mind-body medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, nutritional and environmental medicine and holds fellowships with the Royal Australian College of GP’s (FRACGP), the Australasian society of Lifestyle Medicine (ASLM) and Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (FACNEM). Quotes I was young, I was wide eyed, and naïve as a young intern. When we are in fear and panic we cannot look forward I became fascinated that eastern medicine spoke of the heart as the core essence. Healing is neve as easy as we hope it to be but it’s never as hard as we think it will be I see it time again, people searching for answers to their mystery symptoms, bouncing from specialist to specialist. Finally, when a diagnosis comes, the person is left with more questions than answers Hope is such a powerful part of the healing journey. Western medicine has a heart that beats true. Stay connected to my heart the heart of those I see. The older I get the more curious I get. When we are in a state of fear and panic we don’t have access to good judgement. Being in the system I do see so many well-intentioned people. Sometimes looking within gives a greater understanding of the connection. Buddhism in medicine can be a powerful roadmap through tragedies. The Wonder Within is a heart lead playbook for the anxious stressed and burnt out. Be of the most service or help to yourself. The heart communicates to the body through sensations, knowings and emotions. The heart is the one organ fully formed and functioning in the embryo by 4 weeks at the size of a sultana. We know that hostility and loneliness are huge risk factors for heart disease. The heart has incredible depth, we have heart to heart talks, a brave heart, a kind heart. We have become obsessed by science as the only metric but historically there is an acknowledgment of the human being and humanity as a whole. It is vital to have a love of the human in medicine. Evidence based science is simply the best evidence we have at the time. We need to include the patient and their belief system and the clinician and their experience. Indigenous wisdom is about holism, inclusivity and connection. You have to have disruption and fear before a system can change. Healing is never as easy as we hope it to be but it is never as hard as we think it to be.

Dr Ron Ehrlich is a veteran in the integrative and wholistic health space.  It was soon after graduation from Dentistry that he realized that the mouth was connected to the rest of the body and the mouth was the beginning of the gut and airways, this aha moment took him on the biggest education ride of his life and he has not stopped learning, 43 plus years later. He believes that the more he knows the more he doesn’t know.  He is innovative, unrelenting in his pursuit to help people and a visionary in his field and many other fields.   Kim and Cyndi learn about his journey and what he is doing now.  His love for humanity drives him to do more and he believes we need to start with the education of our corporates and teenagers. Quotes As a dentist it is so easy to get lost in the mouth and forget there’s a whole person attached! The more you learn the more you realise you don’t know. If you have an open mind you find another piece of the puzzle. In order to understand more you have to see it in a historical perspective. Change has to come from the ground up. My karma ran over your dogma. Good health not only makes sense it makes money. Breath and sleep are the foundation for good health. Look for the meaning in life, fulfil your potential and be in good health.

Dr Anthony Chaffee is an American medical doctor specializing in Neurosurgery who over a span of 20 years has researched the optimal nutritional habits for athletic performance and health. It is his assertion that most of the so-called chronic diseases we treat as doctors these days are actually caused by the food we eat, or don’t eat, and can in many cases be reversed easily with dietary changes. He began his university education studying Molecular & Cellular Biology with a Minor in Chemistry at the University of Washington in Seattle at the age of 15, which culminated in attaining his MD from the Royal College of Surgeons. Throughout his athletic career, he saw firsthand the monumental difference that diet makes to performance and recovery, and almost accidentally came across and practiced a fully carnivorous diet from age 20 to 25, having first learned of the toxic nature of plants during his university education. Since then he has rediscovered this truth and more and has dedicated many years and a large part of his professional practice to the study and education of diet and nutrition, and personally practices a fully carnivorous diet to this day, with amazing results. He currently resides in Perth, Australia where he specializes in Neurosurgery and does private consultations and clinics in functional medicine and nutrition. The Chatters had many questions about a carnivore diet and Dr Chaffee was able to graciously debate the two of them.  There is a lot to learn in this episode of Up For A Chat about the carnivore diet and the diet and food industry that is based on religion, propaganda and money rather than what is truly needed for health. Where to find Dr Chaffee www.howtocarnivore.com instagram @anthonychaffeemd Youtube – The Plant Free MD Podcast – The Plant Free MD with Anthony Chaffee Quotes Our ancestral diet avoided plants. The dose makes the poison. Humans are carnivores. I don’t want to come from a confirmation bias or echo chamber. Life is adaptable, humans are adaptable. We are designed to live to 120 years. We have decades more of a healthy life and we deserve that. We are the home-sapien species and that species thrives on the carnivore diet. Diseases of the west have come from foods from the west. Eat more meat, fat and water. There is a vested interest that profits greatly in us eating the wrong things and getting sick.

Adam Gibson began his professional life owning gyms in Melbourne.  From gym to coaching health practitioners to build their businesses.  He could see that society in general was not on a healthy trajectory. Over the pandemic Adam began a group called Parents With Questions alongside Charlie Arnott and Jon Farriss (INXS).  His frustration with trying to change things from a top level down wore him out so he decided to become proactive and create Family Farms a model that worked at a grass roots level. Family Farms is group of farms around Australia owned by the people creating organic and regeneratively grown food for the people.   Quotes Society is not on a good trajectory health wise. The way to disrupt an orthodoxy is not by challenging it but by asking respectful, curious questions about it. It’s not about being right but being curious. Corporate motive is the agenda, it’s good for profit, it’s a great business model. It’s deeper and more corrupt that what we even expected. I ask myself what can we do that is creative rather than combative? We are here to reconnect people with what is possible. It is a co-creative process that takes a whole lot of awareness. The harder they push the higher we rise. Fight with love, consciousness and a belief in our future. Seeing how people like Mandela, Ghandi and Schindler react in life in the face of violence inspires me. Robert Kennedy is my current hero, he just keeps showing up. In these times villains get exposed and hero’s get created. A connection to nature, people understanding themselves and healthy nutrition is the foundation to stand on. I’ll be the hero of my story.   Contacts www.thefamilyfarm.com.au Instagram  @parentswithquestions1.0 ask@parentswithquestions.com   Cyndi O’Meara Links Website-https://changinghabits.com.au/ https://thenutrition.academy/ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/cyndiomeara/ https://www.instagram.com/thenutrition_academy/ https://www.instagram.com/changinghabits_hq/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/cyndi.lovetto https://www.facebook.com/changinghabits https://www.facebook.com/thechnutritionacademy   Kim Morrison Links Website- https://www.kimmorrison.com/ Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/kimmorrison28/ https://www.instagram.com/twenty.8.essential/ Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/KimMorrisonTraining https://www.facebook.com/twenty8essentials

Description – The accolades of Dr Peter Bruckner when it comes to sports medicine is impressive, world cups and games, Olympics, Australian Teams in many disciplines, Liverpool Football club and so much more.  His success as a sports medicine doctor was clear but when it came to his own health he avoided what all the tests were saying about his health.  Until he had a conversation with a fellow sports medicine doctor – Dr Tim Noakes, turned his diet around and three months later turned his health and tests around.  His love of now food and sports has become all-encompassing and the miracles he sees with many sports people are awe inspiring. Books by Dr Peter Bruckner A Fat Lot of Good The Diabetes Plan Clinical Sports Medicine 16th Edition Where to find Peter Brukner Website https://www.peterbrukner.com/ Defeat Diabetes Quotes My first love is sport, I read it, I play it, I watch it and I run sports clubs. I was metabolically unhealthy, I had a family history of diabetes, my father died at 60, I gained half a kilogram every year for 30 years, I had fatty liver, high triglycerides, high insulin but I avoided all the signs. Be useful, have influence, make a difference, wake up and win every day. It was very difficult to change the thinking of a low fat diet. I couldn’t possibly have been on the wrong diet for 40 years but my OCD got the better of me. In my 6 years of medical school there was not one single lecture on nutrition. It will take a courageous government to change the health outcomes of a nation.
