Studio Chat

In this episode I chat with Alissa Mack, a qualified naturopath who consults with clients online from Esperance. She also partners up with Gut Aid Health. She loves talking about the gut as it influences everything.
Having never suffered from significant gut problems before, Alissa had never really given much thought to gut health. During her studies to become a Naturopath, it was constantly talked about and she started to get a fascination for gut health and see the utmost importance for a healthy gut. Even for herself who had “no gut issues”, she started to notice things she hadn’t before. She noticed her skin breaking out when she ate more sugar, the bloating after pasta, the lethargy when her nutrition was lacking and so on.

After graduating as a Naturopath, she was constantly in contact with people chatting about health whether it be mental health, pregnancy, tiredness or many chronic diseases. She noticed that everyone had gut related symptoms, but many just thought that was a part of life. She started to realise she was unable to help these people with their health, without starting with their gut. Her eyes were opened to the health of one’s gut being the foundation for their health.

As her passion grew, it became contagious to those around her, she wanted to help everyone. Her sister also caught this bug. After struggling with gut issues since her teenage years they were adamant to fix her gut and as kids came along, they were just as passionate to see her kids be setup with a good foundation and address any gut issues that came along.

Gut health is simple but complex - there are so many simple things you can do and lifestyle changes you can put into place to help you. They are quick and easy and you can do them today!
Alissa believes that although very common, poor gut health and consequent symptoms are indicators that something is not right, this is not something to ignore or learn to cope with but something to be paid attention to and fix.

Her aim is to help others to take notice, understand and take charge of fixing their gut. Through education, tools, nutritional advice, recipes and supplement recommendations they hope to empower those around us to heal their guts and in turn influence the rest of their health and wellbeing - this is why Alissa is on my podcast today.

We also chat about digestive enzymes the little guys inside who job it is to break things down and the incredible job they can do for us.
She also shares with us 4 steps of how to heal your gut.

A bit about my guest, from my beautiful guest today:
I’m Lena Moxon, a purpose and embodiment guide, certified by the Dharma Coaching Institute and featured as a guide on Wellweb. I’ve spent most of my life creating containers where discovery and growth can happen. I have owned and operated gyms and personal training studios for the last 13 years in Sydney, Auckland and now Geelong, Victoria. My role has always been to facilitate a process that encourages people to discover what they need to discover and makes positive change possible.
Working with me will give you the freedom to begin to understand what it means to be fully expressed with your life, and to do what you do from a place of curiosity, creative resiliency and joy rather than fear and defensiveness.
Empowering yourself to become the leader within your own life will make your contributions more powerful, and you will inspire and facilitate this kind of development in others – the work you do within yourself will have a ripple effect on everyone around you.
If you want to reconnect to the parts of you that you’ve been operating without, move through fears and old self-protective strategies that are in your way so that you can step into your purpose and power in ways that make doing the good work you want to do easier and more fulfilling - I would love to work with you.

Have you ever wondered how homeopathy could support your health and well-being naturally? In this episode, I sit down with Kylie Poole, aka The Wild Herb Lady, to dive into the fascinating world of homeopathy - what it is, how it works, and why you need it in your life. Kylie shares her story experiencing life with chronic eczema and depression and at one point in her life was suicidal and how homeopathy has literally changed her life.

We chat about:
✨ The basics of homeopathy and how it differs from conventional medicine
✨ How homeopathy can support emotional and physical health
✨ Everyday remedies you can start using now
✨ The power of natural healing and reconnecting with your body’s wisdom

Homeopathy is a 200 year old form of alternative holistic medicine. Based on the treatment theory of, "like cures like", the practice centres upon stimulating the body's own healing response and strengthening it's ability to heal itself through specially-prepared, highly-diluted preparations. These remedies are selected based on an individual's unique set of symptoms, as well as their specific affinity for states of ill-health, so whether they are experiencing things physically, mentally or emotionally.

​If you're curious about alternative healing or looking for gentle, effective ways to support your health, this episode is a must listen!

In this episode I chat with Dr Emily Parke all about Functional Medicine.
Dr. Emily Parke, D.O., is a certified functional medicine doctor, board-certified in anesthesiology & pediatric anesthesiology and trained in medical acupuncture. She’s an experienced speaker in the medical and functional medicine community.

Dr. Emily Parke has supported thousands of patients on their journeys to becoming healthy, happy and symptom-free from her experience in both traditional and functional medicine for a well-rounded approach with their health.
Her credentials:

• D.O. from Rowan University
• Anesthesiology residency | Cleveland Clinic, Chief Resident
• Pediatric Anesthesiology Fellowship | Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Chief Fellow
• Diplomat of the Board of Anesthesiology | Board Certified in Adult and Pediatric Anesthesiology
• Medical Acupuncture | Helm’s Medical Institute
• Institute for Functional Medicine | Certified Practitioner

In 2015 she opened Arizona Wellness Medicine where she is the founder and owner of this practice.

Functional medicine addresses the whole person, instead of a set of symptoms, by shifting the focus from disease-centric treatment to a multi-dimensional understanding of how the full spectrum of a person’s life impacts their overall wellness.
The need for functional medicine:
Increases in chronic disease demonstrate that our society is dealing with a health crisis. Traditional medicine emphasizes acute treatment for issues that have already risen, whereas functional medicine emphasizes finding and treating the causes of symptoms and disease using the following science-based strategies:

• Nutrition
• Exercise & movement
• Sleep
• Advanced laboratory testing
• Stress management
• Toxin reduction

Through this full-spectrum approach to each person’s total wellbeing, functional medicine offers a comprehensive solution to not only ease chronic conditions but prevent them entirely.
