#57: Why it matters what you put on your skin with Emma Sgourakis

Uncategorized Jul 28, 2021

Emma and I have known each other and worked together for years now. I met her around the same time I met my partner, Craig.

A few years ago I messaged Emma saying I was thinking about doing skincare (we’d had so many discussions about how there just weren’t any good brands or lotions without nasties or PUFA's in them). Emma asked me if I wanted a business partner and the rest is history. It's been a long road with the skincare. We've been at it for nearly two years now!! We ended up changing formulators in the end so we could get the product just right.

It was worth the wait because we have the final samples and it should be coming out in the next few months. We’re on the homestretch now, and we are so excited to release these products (finally!!). We have also started formulating makeup. A foundation, lip/cheek tint and bonzer. They will be free from iron oxide, silicones, PUFA, titanium dioxide, aluminium and mineral oil...the first of their kind in the...

#56: Dissolve-it-all with Matt Blackburn

Uncategorized Jul 22, 2021

If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know Matt. We just had a bit of a catch up. He’s recently got engaged, bought a place on the lake - it’s completely off the grid! He’s been busy, but it was so nice to sit down and chat about his Mitolife product, Dissolve-it-all.

I started taking Dissolve-it-all after I got my breast implants taken out in December 2020 to help with the scarring. To be honest I was a bit skeptical but the results were amazing, I've had a noticeable reduction in my scars. If you go to his website you can also read one of the 100s of amazing reviews of this product and not just for scar tissue people have reported improvements in fibrotic breast tissue, arthritis, skin tags, achy joints, digestive issues, fibroids and more.

When you’re younger, everything just heals so fast. But you might notice that with age, scars tend to stick around and become more of a permanent thing. Matt is a firm believer that they don’t...

#55: Pro-metabolic eating for men with Craig McDonald and Travis Harris

Uncategorized Jul 12, 2021

So I know I talk about women a lot...because I am one and our program is specifically for women.

I remember when I first met Craig, at the same time I met my now business partner Emma Sgourakis. I was like a rat up a drain pipe and quickly converted Craig to pro-metabolic eating.

In fact when Craig and I opened our gym in 2015 we worked with both men and women for 3 years. Craig has a handful or male clients he works with now (husbands of the women in the Winatlife program, he would work with more but he just doesn't have the time).

So many women in our programs ask me about what their husband should be doing or what men can do to eat and train pro-metabolically. I also hear from a lot of women how their husbands aren’t as supportive or understanding about this new way of eating. I get that as they probably think oh here we go again another diet I wonder how long this will last.

So, we thought it would be a good idea to sit down and chat about it. Travis is another...

#54: Mastering your menstrual cycle: The 5th vital sign with Lisa Hendrickson-Jack

Uncategorized Jul 08, 2021

I was so excited to have Lisa on the podcast! I'm a huge fan of her book The 5th Vital Sign.

If you’re a woman and you haven’t read this book, I highly recommend you read it.

Prior to finding Dr Ray Peat's work, Emma Sgourakis (my now business partner) and Craig I suffered with painful and irregular periods, PMS, I had a miscarriage, a D&C, polyps as well pre-cancerous cells removed from my cervix.

If you’ve followed me for a while you’ll also know I cycled through low calorie diets, excessive exercising and I was a big binge drinker for 17 years of my life. I also took the pill for many years and I had no idea what hormonal contraception was doing to my body.

The book is easy to read and contains invaluable information on taking charge of your menstrual cycle and how menstrual cycle health really is the fifth vital sign for women. It also has fantastic information on the pill, IUD's, Depo-Provera and the implant and the effect they have on...

#53: Vitamin D, calcium and mineral metabolism with Dr Ray Peat and Kate Deering

Uncategorized Jun 29, 2021

We’ve had Dr. Peat on the podcast before, and it actually ended up being our most downloaded WinAtLife podcast. So, we brought him back again to discuss vitamin D, calcium and mineral metabolism.

There’s so much good information in this one! Dr. Peat offers up a lot of clarity when it comes to the great vitamin D debate. So, should you supplement vitamin D? Should you not? What else should you know when it comes to vitamin D and your metabolic health?

As a reminder Vitamin D has many names

The three most mentioned in this podcast are

Cholecalciferol also known as D3 (what is in food or supplements)

"Stored D" also know as calcidiol / 25OHD /hydroxycholecalciferol

"Active D" also know as calcitriol / 1,25D

Dr. Peat uses the references of 25OHD /hydroxycholecalciferol (stored) and 1,25D (active)

In this episode we talk about...

The purpose of Vitamin D

How is vitamin D metabolised and stored

How much D is too much?

The difference between Active...

#52: Just because you can eat it doesn't mean you should with Keith Littlewood

Uncategorized Jun 16, 2021

I feel Keith Littlewood needs no introduction! He’s been on our podcast plenty of times. He’s just a wealth of information, so we decided to sit down and talk about why some of these so called health foods like raw green veggies, nuts, seeds and vegetable oils may not be so super for our health after all!

I remember back in my crazy diet days I cut all sugar, fruit and dairy from my diet and had green veggies at every single meal. I also made my own almond milk, ate a lot of nut butters and mainly consumed polyunsaturated fats. I always felt I was doing the right thing eating what I thought was 'clean' and healthy but I was bloated and constipated, I rarely slept through the night, I had painful and irregular periods, I was tired all the time and my hair was falling out.

So I thought I’d sit down with Keith and look at the impact these so called health foods have our on digestion, hormones and thyroid health.

Keith and I also talk about:

Consuming foods in...

#51: How to get rid of cellulite with Len Smith

Uncategorized May 30, 2021

I want to start this by saying this is by no means about criticising women with cellulite. The reason I did this podcast with Len is because I get so many questions from women - How do I get rid of cellulite??

Len is one of the women in our Winatlife program, she's in her 50's and has two kids. She is just so funny and gorgeous. She always keeps it real and post's the funniest videos in our Facebook group. When Len joined the program she not only suffered from extreme digestive and menopausal symptoms she also had a lot of cellulite.

She's not only fixed her digestive and menopausal issues but she's also seen a huge improvement in her cellulite. If you had to my Instagram page you can see more of her before and after photos.

I thought it’d get her on the show so she could share her journey and reveal what she eats, how she trains and what supplements she takes.

We talk about:

Len’s health journey and transition into peri-menopause and then menopause

Her...

#49: How many days per week should I train to build muscle and should I be doing cardio? with Craig McDonald.

Uncategorized May 18, 2021

I get a lot of questions from women asking me if I want to lose weight and tone up how many days should I be training and should I be doing cardio?

So I decided to sit down with Craig (my partner in business and in life), fondly known as Coach Sausage in our program. One night on a round table I called him sausage and the name has stuck with him ever since.

Prior to meeting Craig I was stuck on the merry go round of restrictive diets and training two hours per day fasted. I was desperately trying to maintain a certain body weight and lower level of body fat. I fell head over heels with lifting as well as head over heels for Craig and I ended up competing in powerlifting for a few years. Now I just lift because I love it.

When it comes to training context is important. I think the better questions to ask yourself would be:

1 What is my goal?

2 What is my current state of metabolic health. So when I talk about metabolic health markers I mean resting temps and pulses, sleep,...

#48: Beating PCOS and feeling like a goddess with Amy Lakomy

Uncategorized May 11, 2021

Anna is 33 years old, lives in the US, is married, and, like me, has her fur babies!

And her story is so fascinating! I’m sure many women can relate. She spent a large majority of her life spinning her wheels in the wrong directions. Diagnosed with PCOS when she was younger, she was told all the garbage advice like to cut dairy and eat more leafy greens.

Anna says that her health journey even started before her PCOS diagnosis. She believes that her pursuit to be as skinny as possible likely contributed to her eventual diagnosis.

She then went on to try Weight Watchers, low calorie diets, keto, and more. She was also told her PCOS symptoms would likely get worse over time.

But today (after being in our program since July 2020), Anna has said that her most recent blood tests came back with all optimal numbers. Her anxiety has fully disappeared and the physical symptoms have gone away.

She shares what she eats, how she trains and the changes she had to make in her life...
