Sonia Bridgewater used to be one of those women.

Sonia is 46 years old, married, with 3 boys - all of whom have special needs. I admire her a lot.

From the age of 9, Sonia has been in a constant battle with food. It started with anorexia. She had been sick and lost a few kilograms. When a boy made a comment about liking her bum in her jeans after being sick, she started restricting her food. She’d have secret binges then throw up afterwards.

Food began to consume her life. It was a prison she couldn’t escape. She also started over-exercising. At 16 years old, she started seeing counsellors about it. But the cycle continued. She became a functioning bulimic where she would binge and purge a couple of times a week.

She also tried various diets including carb cycling, paleo, high ...

The Strong Sistas, Ash and Sarah, are SO genuine and honest about their journey. I know a lot of women that could relate to exactly what they’re going through. If you don’t already follow them, check out their page!

In this podcast episode, I talked to these two Strong Sistas about their health journey and how it’s evolved, especially as of late. They are constantly learning and transforming their definition of health - it’s bloody inspiring!

Three months or so ago, Ashley and Sarah started incorporating more Ray Peat ideas into their diet. They had originally been on a carnivore diet (after vegan diets, fasting, and more).

Previous to this more recent change, they had developed autoimmune conditions and stopped having their periods.

They found the carnivore diet helped with their autoimmune conditions and helped them discover a more sustainable way of eating (in terms of environmentally and animal-friendly approaches). Ye...

Is constipation a frequent problem?

Let me introduce you to Lisa Vaughan.

Lisa is a nearly 50-year-old mum, and she has her own business, so she’s got a lot happening in her life.

Lisa has experienced constipation since she was born. She had IBS and even had her appendix taken out as a kid since doctors thought it would help. About six years ago and after a ton of research, she uncovered that she had SIBO, an excessive bacteria in the small intestine.

She did numerous diets that she thought would help - from water fasting to 21-day liquid-only diets to paleo. Each time, they would work but then all her symptoms would eventually come back. She couldn’t maintain the restrictive parts of them and it had got to a point that she didn’t know what to eat and was even afraid to eat.

This started to change when she joined WAL nearly two years ago…

Lisa has been a huge part ...

I reckon about 90% of the women in our program have one or more kids, so I get questions all the time where women are asking

‘What should I be feeding my kids? What should I put in their lunchboxes?’

In this podcast episode, I talk to the wonderful Emma Sgourakis, The Nutrition Coach, close friend and co-founder of Saturee about what foods to feed your kids and what kind of foods you should be putting in their lunchboxes. 💛

Emma opens up about how she’s managed food with her kids and how it’s constantly changing with them. She says she noticed with her kids how they gravitated toward certain foods, like fruits and even liver until recently.

Emma also doesn’t recommend exposing your children, who have immature and developing digestive tracts, to high cellulose foods.

This could damage their digestive tracts setting them up for health issues or food intolerances as adults. Instead, she sticks to...

Meet Margie Arbon and Jane Davidson.   

Both of these ladies have been in our WinAtLife program for 18 months. They are two inspiring and gorgeous women who have overcome their autoimmune diseases with sugar and strength.

In this SugarBabes episode, we talk about how they overcame their conditions and what mindset shifts they had to get there.

Jane is in her 40s and Margie is in her 50s, both have kids. They originally joined WinAtLife to lose weight and balance their hormones. And they both had arthritic autoimmune conditions (spondyloarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis).

Previously, doctors told them they would have to be on medication for the rest of their lives. But it didn’t sit well with either of them.

But since joining WAL, Margie:

➡️ Realized the big role that stress was playing in contributing to her autoimmune disease.

➡️ Has fully come o...

In this podcast episode, I caught up with the gorgeous and knowledgeable Jessica, a Hormone and PCOS Nutritionist who is well-known on Instagram as @jessicaashwellness. We discussed the misconceptions around sugar and why weight gain can be a necessary part of healing your metabolism and fixing your hormones.

I’ve followed Jessica for a while and she has a similar background to many women in our program (and me). She’s done all the fad diets from Intermittent Fasting, Low Carb, to Paleo and Keto.

While she noticed some improvements in her clients and herself when on these low carb diets, she also noticed in some ways she and her clients weren’t feeling any better, like losing hair, adrenal issues, and not sleeping. Then she came across Danny Roddy and found Ray Peat’s work.

From there, Jessica began implementing everything from eating dairy, m...

Life happens... so you smash 10 beers or a couple of bottles of wine.

You’ve tried getting healthy, but the restricted diets and cardio makes life that much more stressful. You tell yourself that you will do better later but you need the alcohol to cope right now.

Sound familiar?&nbsp

In our most recent podcast episode, I talk with Anna and Sian about their past alcohol addiction and how they overcame it. They’ve not only transformed their bodies and health but also their lives. They are INCREDIBLE women who have faced their demons and come out the other side.

Not only that, but they are an inspiration to other women in our program - me included.

They’ve managed to free themselves from food and alcohol, and are now living their BEST lives. From the lowest moments to now, Anna and Sian discuss when and how their turning points happened, and how they have also had their fair-share of failure and roadblocks.If you’...

In this episode with Kate Deering author of How to heal your metabolism we dive into all things coronavirus. Kate and I discuss what you can be doing during these times of stress to not only curb your stress, but also protect your health and improve your immunity.

The truth: You have a choice HOW you react to the current situation.

In the past, when times were stressful, I used to hit the piss. The old me would have had a few drinks every night to take the edge off, and I would go and eat shit food to cope. Now, I focus on what I CAN do. I’m much more proactive - and I don’t deal with life’s stressors by downing a bottle anymore and trying to escape.

Instead, I continue to do my meal plans. I continue to train. I go out and get my sun each day. It’s about controlling your controllables. These small things you do each day can give you that certainty back when everything else is ...

In the last two years... I’ve been sick twice - and once was food poisoning.

In our recent podcast, I caught up with Tommo Littlewood. Tommo has been in the health and fitness industry for over 20 years. He has a masters in endocrinology. He also follows Dr Ray Peat’s work, and helps individuals solve their metabolic and hormonal issues so that they can live their best lives.

In this episode, we talk about all things you need to know to keep your body robust and healthy during these stressful and uncertain times, including what foods you need to be eating. We also answer some commonly asked client questions, such as dealing with stress and thyroid issues, and separating fact from fiction when it comes to virus prevention. With lockdowns happening worldwide, it’s about doing the best you can.

Some foods might not...

“I am still feeling really lethargic and my hair is falling out.”

“I still have hot sweats and can’t sleep at night.”

“I’m so incredibly moody and have irregular periods?”

SO! The question is...Are blood tests really a good indication of what is happening in the body?

In this interview with Tommo Littlewood we discuss:

👉 Why blood tests are not always good indicators of health

👉 What things your doctor really should consider when taking blood tests

👉 What specific indicators you would look for if you have low thyroid function

👉 High cholesterol and what it actually means

👉 How your external factors contribute to your thyroid function

We also discuss the two simple and free tests you can perform yourself which can help you assess your thyroid fun...
