MG Herbs - The Naked Naturopath

Special guest Val Gent from Let’s Eat Paediatric Speech Pathology joins me on the show today to talk about how speech pathology works and specifically discuss tongue ties and how this affects children.

Val decided to move into paediatric speech pathology when she was moved by a baby she encountered on her university practicum, and has been inspired to work with children in the area of food and feeding ever since.

A tongue tie is something babies can be born with, ranging from moderate to severe and can affect feeding, speech and development. It is such a big buzz word at the moment, which is why I wanted to get Val on to talk us through it!

Join us on this special episode to learn all about different tongue ties, how they can affect your baby and how you can address it.

I thought it was high time I told you a little more about what I do!

Being a medical herbalist is such an interesting and intriguing field. Many people have no idea what a herbalist does and how we may be able to help them.

I have spent many years in my own business educating people about traditional medicine and the natural approach to health that we take.

A personal chat, as I reveal what it was like when I began working as a herbalist and my first ever presentation about what herbal medicine is (hint: cringe-worthy).

Learn more about which herbs work for what conditions, the flavour and consistency of various tonics, the power integrative medicine and so much more!

Hi I’m Mel. I am a herbalist at heart, a foodie and a naturopath. I work with people every day to teach them ideas that humans have had well before I was born or even had my first healthy thought (or unhealthy thought!). This first podcast is all about you getting to know me, my take on food as medicine and what I practice and preach. If you’re picking up what I’m putting down listen on, get some free advice and maybe we are soon to be health soul mates.

Amanda and Trent from rok Kombucha join us on the show today!

An awesome discussion for any fellow fermenters out there. The rok crew share with us their inspiration behind their kombucha company, how they make their yummy brews and discuss their product and how it works.

We also chat about “natural flavours” which is certainly an interesting topic AND you’ll be amazed by how the size of their scoby and what to look out for if you make it at home.

You can find rok over at rokkombucha.com.au or at a stockist near you.

If you have a spare few minutes, we’d love if you could rate and review our show on iTunes so we can spread the wellness word further.

Thanks as always for tuning in!

Introducing Milly from The Healthy Cocktail, amazing Newcastle-based cold-pressed juice and cleanse business.

I was so excited to chat to Milly about superfoods, cleansing and all things wellness.

Milly is an alchemist of beverages, with an aim to create the most nutrient dense liquids for her community.

We discuss the benefits of cleansing, a powerful process for body, mind and soul which I highly recommend doing! The Healthy Cocktail cleanse program is such a great program, with plenty of liquids and nutrients to keep you nourished for the period you choose.

Our Ultimate Cleanse Program is a three day juice cleanse, supported by herbs and supplements from me.

Milly is a big believer in holistic health, which is something I love. Cleansing is a great start (or re-start) to a wellness lifestyle.

We talk about some easy ways you can incorporate elements of juicing and cleansing into your daily life, to maintain or boost your health.

Together, we bond over the power of plant medicine!

At the moment, The Healthy Cocktail delivers only to the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie area, so definitely check it out if you’re in the area.
