If you've followed me for a while you'll know I've cycled through nearly every diet out there. For 17 years of my life I tried to cut all sugar from my diet including fruit and juice. I get so many comments on my posts saying “sugar causes diabetes” and “sugar causes insulin resistance.”

So I thought I'd sit down with Georgi and address some of these misconceptions.

In this episode, we discuss:

➡️What is insulin resistance

➡️What actually causes insulin resistance and diabetes (hint it's not sugar)

➡️The role chronic stress has in diabetes and insulin resistance

➡️What happens when you go low calorie and/or low carb

➡️What dietary changes can a diabetic or someone who su...

"I’m not good enough"

“I’m not smart enough”

"I can't do this"

"I’ll fail"

“I’m fat"

“I hate my body”

I've definitely had times where I've doubted myself, times when the negative voices have crept in and taken over my thoughts.

These silent conversations are so powerful. They affect our mood, how we feel about ourselves, they can stop us from taking action and they can affect our health.

One of my favourite books on how to harness these inner voices is called Chatter, written by acclaimed psychologist Ethan Cross. I loved it so much I thought I'd get him on the show to talk more about these inner voices and share some of the tools you can use to harness them so you can be happier, healthier and more productive.

More specifically we discussed:

➡️What is “Chatter”?

➡️Managing “Chatter”

➡️Rituals to manage those voices

➡️Success...

I wanted to interview Rebecca because so many women think that when it comes to losing weight and getting healthy they need to drastically cut calories, sugar, dairy and carbs and do a tonne of cardio, especially if they have PCOS or endometriosis. In this episode Rebecca shares:

➡️Her history with endometriosis, PCOS, and extreme dieting

➡️The shame she felt and a lot of women might also feel around binge eating

➡️How empowering strength training is and the role it played in her journey

➡️The improvements she's seen in her menstrual cycle

➡️What her and her husband eat day to day

➡️How Rebecca and her husband prepare each...

So we thought we’d get together and talk more about what it actually means to balance your blood sugar as well as:

➡️What happens to your body when you go many hours or days without eating enough

➡️Myths surrounding carbs, fats, and blood sugar

➡️How blood sugar is regulated

➡️Protein and blood sugar regulation

➡️Eating for and after your workout

➡️Snack ideas that we like for regulating your blood sugar

➡️How we simplify meal planning in our busy lives

➡️And more tips to balance your blood sugar levels!

This is a super practical podcast with lots of actionable tips.

Happy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield. Each month I choose someone who has shared and they get a tub of Saturée Premium Collagen valued at $79.

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 market.

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 have to! So I thought I'd get Matt on t...

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 a...

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 the female body.

Th...

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?

➡️ ...

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 their ...
