#29: Itsy & Bitsy: Two little boobs who dream of making it big with Henley Derenzie

Uncategorized Dec 10, 2020

Today I’m sitting down with our friend and author Hedley Derenzie.

Hedley is the writer and author of six books, including her latest, Itsy & Bitsy: Two Little Boobs Who Dream Of Making It Big - a children’s-stylebook for adults inspired by a breast augmentation and then explant six months later.

I've had Hedley on the podcast before to talk about self-worth. If you’re a woman who struggles with self-worth I highly recommend you give it a listen.

In this episode, we’re talking everything fake boobs. Hedly shares her struggles with body image and why she got her implants put in and then why only 6 months later she got them taken out.

I’m also getting my implants removed and if you’re listening to this it means I've had my op and they're out!

So If you’re a woman who’s considering getting breast implants or someone who has implants and has been thinking about getting them taken out then this is a must-listen.

I just love Hedly I think she's warm, open and s...

#28: Botox and fake boobs: the good, the bad and the ugly with Kate Deering

Uncategorized Dec 02, 2020

I remember when I got lip fillers, it was back when we still had our gym. Jake asked me what I did to my lips😂 It just looked so awful. I never did it again after that.

I then did Botox for 18 months. I felt the pressure of being on social media and so many of the women look so perfect, I wanted to look better.

After 18 months, I decided I wasn’t going to do it again. I realised it just wasn’t in line with my values or beliefs. Here I was encouraging other women to accept their bodies, eliminating nasties in the food I ate, beginning to create a no-nasties skincare line with my good friend @thenutritioncoach, and meanwhile, I was injecting my body with Botox. It didn’t make sense to me.

And it’s not that I don't think it’s okay for others to do it if it makes them feel good. It just didn’t feel right for me anymore.

This is also why I’m getting my implants taken out. For the first time in many years, I’m going fully natural. I’m even growing out my grey hairs (I re...

#27: Understanding your menstrual cycle & natural contraception with Jessie Brebner

Uncategorized Nov 24, 2020

I get this question all the time: ‘How do avoid pregnancy if I'm not on hormonal birth control?’ I often joke and say just do anal it's the only safe way.....KIDDING!!! 😂

We encourage women to avoid hormonal birth control, such as the pill as it shuts down ovulation and thins the uterine wall. This isn't great news for your metabolism because you're not ovulating and when you're not ovulating you're not making progesterone. Progesterone is amazing! Its pro-thyroid, it balances estrogen and it helps you sleep.

So when women come off their hormonal contraception I always get asked what other birth control options are out there.

Many women don’t fully understand the menstrual cycle and its importance in the female body (I didn’t for a long time either). But knowing how your cycle works and tracking it can help you determine how your metabolic function and health is doing.

The menstrual cycle is like your monthly report card and because it's not essential to your survi...

#25: Why strength training is so beneficial for women with Thomas Lilley

Uncategorized Nov 11, 2020

I actually trained with Thomas twice a week for 12 months, and I enjoyed it so much! He’s such an expert when it comes to powerlifting. We also sold our NuStrength gym to Thomas and we were so happy it found a good home!!

One of the things I love about Thomas is he is so passionate about his craft and he has a methodology that just works. I saw so many improvements with my squat and deadlift technique while working with him.

In this podcast episode, we sat down and had a little chat about:

➡️Sustainable transformation and why getting stronger is part of that

➡️Why technique is so important

➡️Misconceptions about lifting weights (including the idea that it will make you ‘bulky’)

➡️Why it’s not easy to get ‘big’ or to ‘bulk’ up

➡️Why eating enough is so important for building muscle

➡️The greatness of the squat

➡️ And more!

Lifting is such an empowering feeling! I bloody love it. If you’re new to weightlifting or want to hear more about ...

#24: The scary truth about polyunsaturated fats (PUFA's) with Matt Blackburn

Uncategorized Nov 08, 2020

If you’re new here or to the pro-metabolic lifestyle, you're going to love this recent chat I had with Matt Blackburn on the dangers of polyunsaturated fats. It can help clear a few things up and help you understand why we tend to avoid and limit PUFAs (including what foods they’re found in!).

It’s surprising how much the fitness and health industry demonizes sugar but very rarely mentions how bad PUFAs are and how many problems they can cause in the body.

In this episode, Matt Balckburn and I talk about:

➡️ What PUFAs are

➡️ Different types of fats

➡️ How these fats act in the body

➡️ What PUFA foods to avoid

And much more!

Uncategorized Oct 28, 2020

What really causes PCOS & Endometriosis & how you can improve them by eating sugar, carbs, and dairy with Tommo Littlewood.

With PCOS and endometriosis, many women are met with ‘go on the pill’ as a one-stop solution to their problems.

In this podcast episode, Tommo challenges conventional recommendations.

Do you really need to go on the pill? What is really going on?

He reveals:

➡️ How the recommended ways to fix these problems often worsen your condition

#22: Finding your self-worth with Hedley Derenzie

Uncategorized Oct 19, 2020

In our program, WinAtLife, we are all about training and nutrition. But I think there is so much more to it.

Many women come into this program - their journey - (me too) with insecurities, fears, and feelings about yourself.

And I think when you finally start training and eating right, you become brave enough to face those things and tackle them head-on.

Low self-worth is something I had for so long. I’d seek attention from men and I’d drink. It manifests differently for different people, and in this podcast, Hedley and I dig into it and how we’ve both struggled with it. We chat about:

➡️How self-worth doesn’t come from the outside world but it has to come from you.

➡️How self-worth may start with feeling good and healthy.

➡️How we often project our insecurities onto other people and the world.

➡️How we’ve both navigated through low self-worth and relationships.

➡️Hedley’s books and experiences involving self-worth.

And so much more!
