The Mason Taylor Show

Today Mason and Dr. Nat Kringoudis discuss the missing link in reproductive health - the fact that our youngsters are not being appropriately educated in this field. Dr. Nat is extremely passionate about empowering the young and educating our children, rather than letting them find their way in the big, bad online world. They explore the skills that a care giver can incorporate into their repertoire to hold space for these conversations around fertility, reproductive health, sex and everything in between. Dr. Nat raises the point that, from a young age, we are told narratives around most sexual, reproductive and gender-specific body functions. But why? For example, why do we tell our youngsters that babies are delivered by a stork? Tune in to today's episode to explore how we can begin to redefine the sexual education of our teens, for healthier generations to come.

You will hear about:

-How normalising sexual / reproductive facts with kid's is a really proactive preventative measure to educate the future generations

-30% of teens are googling reproductive health; let's shift their first experience from the online forum, to a face to face age-appropriate conversation

-The stress around infertility tends to overtake any structural or physiological fertility issues

-Synthetic hormonal birth control (like the pill) mask any underlying symptoms

-Kids observe and absorb; we need to make sure we are educated and empowered to lead by example

-If you suffer from PCOS, intermittent fasting can be a game changer

-The biggest hormonal issues stem from stress

-Try aligning to the feeling you want, rather than the goal

-How synthetic birth control may encourage infertility

-STD's can have devastating long-term fertility effects

-Hormonal issues are normal until around age 18 for females

-How condoms and barrier methods should be non-negotiable for teens

Mason's Mushrooms Reishi Clearlight Infrared Saunas

Staying healthy in a toxic world can be one of the most difficult aspects of this health journey, and that’s why we need some heavy hitting practices on our side to get in deep and keep our organs and tissue healthy. I’ve been doing infrared saunas since I was 16 years old, not knowing at that point just how fortunate I was to have integrated into my life one of the most ancient, time-tested and effective methods of detoxification and rejuvenation into my life. But this isn’t your every day chat about saunas... Sebastian Mierau is one of my best mates. We met in 2011 at David Wolfe talk when we were both a couple of health nerds diving deep into the lifestyle and researching deeply. Since then, after many adventures around the world, Sebastian has become the distributor of (what we knew all along to be the best saunas in the world) Clearlight Saunas in Australia and Europe. He took this on so that all us multidimensional health freaks could get easy access to this incredibly healing tool. As a leader and innovator in the infrared sauna industry for the last 18 years, Clearlight Infrared by Sauna Works has been manufacturing infrared saunas that are both luxurious and effective. While their cabins are exceptional quality, they have spent the last 18 years researching and studying infrared therapy to bring you the most effective infrared sauna available; and they’re doing saunas like nobody else, including (much to my cell’s pleasure) being the leader in offering EMF and ELF free saunas. Sebastian has become extremely well versed in the benefits and dynamics of infrared saunas benefits and therapy and this interview we dive into:

• The history of saunas and their evolution
• The difference between traditional and infrared saunas
• How the infrared sauna wavelengths help eliminate stress and deeply relax the tissue
• The mind blowing ability this technology has to detox the body of insidious, disease-causing toxicity
• Surprising ways sauna restores your body’s ability to lose weight
• Why saunas give you the best skin ever
• The research behind sauna increasing life-span, toning the heart and thwarting morbidity
• Ways to say goodbye to chronic pain
• How you can restore and boost metabolism and overall immunity by getting your sweat on
• Ceramic v carbon heaters and why you must consider which your sauna uses
• The specific healing wavelengths utilised in these epic saunas
• The resonance frequency of infrared and how it interacts with the water in your calls
• How low EMG (mG) and ELF (Vm) saunas are now possible and how saunas that don’t can damage you

Delving into the birthing realms this week with the wonderful Sheryl Sidery. Sheryl has been practicing midwifery since 1985. The experience of her first birth lead her into this beautiful line of work. She felt alone and unsupported. She felt that no one was aware of what an enormous life changing experience becoming a mother is, and so she became a midwife. She wanted to be truly “with woman” as she embarks on motherhood – feeling strong, confident, transformed and joyful. For her, that’s what midwifery is all about. Her primary philosophy is that pregnancy and birth is a period of great transformation, one that is necessary for parenting. She finds that having one-to-one midwifery care throughout pregnancy, birth and early parenting provides the best start to life with a newborn. In this interview we cover:

• The current state of the modern medical birthing system in Australia
• How women’s bodies are designed to have natural births when supported
• Keys to ensuring birthing occurs without intervention
• The biggest myths when it comes to conscious birthing
• Why home births are the new black
• How to prepare a woman’s body for an easy birth
• And so much more.
