The Heal My Health Podcast

I have given my birth prep 150% of my energy and I wanted to share everything that I’ve done and am continuing to do, to prepare my body, mind and support team for birth. From birth education and research to building my birth team and working with a pelvic floor physiotherapist, all the way to hypnobirthing and calmbirth classes , I chat through the different ways I’ve prepared physically, mentally and emotionally for labour and birth. This is a very personal episode about how I’m approaching my own birth preparation , what I’ve prioritised, what I’ve learned along the way and the things I’m hoping will help me feel calm, informed and supported when the big day arrives. If you’re pregnant and wondering “Where do I even start with birth prep?” , this episode is a look inside my complete approach. 🤍 This episode shares my personal experience and preparation choices and is not intended as individual medical advice.

In this episode of I'm talking about one of the simplest foods you can add to your diet for big benefits - chia seeds . Are they actually as nutritious as we’re led to believe? Chia seeds have a really cool history as a staple food for ancient civilisations - so we talk about that and about what makes these tiny seeds so nutritionally impressive. We take a look at what the research actually says about their potential health benefits - including blood sugar regulation, cholesterol, heart health and digestive health. I’ll also answer some of the common questions around chia: Do you need to soak them? How much should you eat? Is chia really one of the highest-fibre foods? And what are the easiest ways to add it to your diet? A little dive into one tiny seed that packs a surprisingly big nutritional punch!

Eating out doesn’t have to derail your health goals and it definitely shouldn’t ruin the joy of sharing a meal. In this episode, I explore how to find the balance between enjoying yourself and making choices that genuinely support your wellbeing. We unpack why your intentions matter: maybe you’re eating out frequently and want to feel better day-to-day, or maybe you notice an all-or-nothing mindset that leaves you swinging between restriction and overdoing it. Understanding why you want to make healthier choices is the first step to creating balance. You’ll learn what actually makes a meal healthier - lower saturated fat, lower overall calories, and higher fibre, protein, and nutrient density, and why restaurant meals can be deceptively energy-dense. Plus, we break down simple, practical steps to help you navigate eating out with confidence: • Plan ahead by choosing venues with fresher whole-food options • Scan the menu for grilled, steamed, or baked over fried • If you’re on the go , prioritise lean protein and veggies • Quick tips like ordering light entrées, asking for dressings on the side, customising cooking methods, and choosing zero-sugar drinks This episode will leave you feeling empowered to enjoy food socially with a more relaxed mindset and a few smart strategies in your back pocket.

W hat’s the best diet for humans? When you zoom out and look at decades of research, human physiology, and real-world health outcomes, a clear pattern emerges. In this episode, we explore: Why humans are built to eat a variety of foods, not follow extreme diet tribes How fibre, protein, healthy fats, and micronutrients create the foundations of long-term health The major pitfalls of going too far into either direction - strict vegetarian/vegan or strict carnivore/low-fibre Why fish and lean proteins play a protective role that plants alone or meat alone cannot fully replace How a “plant-forward + protein-adequate” diet supports energy, digestion, weight management, hormones, and longevity Simple, real-life guidelines for building balanced meals without restriction, dieting, or overwhelm This is not another diet trend. It’s not about labels, rules, or perfection. It’s about eating in a way that aligns with our biology, is easy to maintain, and supports whole-body health - for almost everyone. Whether you’re confused about nutrition, stuck between diet opinions online, or wanting clarity for yourself or your clients, this episode gives you a grounded, balanced, evidence-informed answer.
