Ep 22 Mum & Bub Holistic Sleep Strategies with Georgina from the Holistic Sleep Project
In this week's episode we have the knowledgeable Georgina from The Holistic Sleep Project! 💤🤩 Georgina is a Holistic Sleep Consultant, Qualified Naturopath and Mother. Her interest in sleep was born out of her own sleep issues and the tragedy of her own mother dying when she was just 13 weeks pregnant with her son. In order to preserve her own wellbeing and mental health in the 4th trimester, Georgina actively prioritised her baby’s sleep and it paid off! He has been a dynamite sleeper ever since! Her baby was essentially her first client! 👼🏻 From there Georgina studied an International Holistic Sleep Qualification while her son was taking his day nap and together with her Naturopathy background created her own uniquely holistic and gradual method to help babies and toddlers get more sleep which in turn completely transforms the family dynamic and positively alters the experience new parents have as their babies are completely well rested and so are they as parents. She has her own podcast “The Holistic Baby and Toddler Podcast”, consults with families on a 1:1 basis, has a membership “The Sleep Collective” and recently has become a Finalist in 4 International business and Health/Wellbeing Award Categories in the Women Changing the World Awards announced in London during May 2024.

- What is the 4th Trimester?
- Preferred environment for sleeping baby like a pitch black room, white noise on a timer, etc.
- Is there a place for feeding to sleep?

In this episode we have the amazing Mel Briggs back for a PART 2 of our thyroid series.
In this epsiode we are delving deep into Hashimoto's disease!
Did you know that 80% of hypothyroidism is caused by Hashimoto's autoimmune disease.

In this episode we will cover:

- Why medication - Thyroxine is not enough
- Why Thyroxine is an inactive storage hormone - still needs converting and it doesn’t really address the autoimmune component of the disease.

- Risk of further autoimmune diseases.
- How COVID affects autoimmune disease.
- Link with EBV and Hashimoto's
- Stress and Hashimoto's
- Implications in fertility
- Environmental toxins and Hashimotos - living on a farm, painters, pesticides, mould exposure, fake tanning, mercury fillings, exposure to chlorine and flouride etc.
Find Melissa at Elixir Naturopathy or on instagram for lots of free resources!

EP 19 Do I Have Imbalanced Hormones with Naturopath Ellen
Do you suspect you have a hormonal imbalance?
Have you been told that you just need to go on contraception to fix everything?
Hormone imbalance is not a one size fits all, there can be MANY varying different symptom pictures for each individual.
Some common signs of hormonal imbalance that can be fixed and are not normal or something you have to just "put up with" can include mood swings, period pain, acne, sugar cravings, fatigue, migraines & headaches, heavy periods, clots in period blood, painful or swollen breasts, spotting throughout the cycle, sleep issues, hair loss, excess hair growth, dry skin, sluggish digestion - plus many more.
There are many different factors that can imbalance your hormones including endocrine disruptors, stress, contraceptives, gut and liver issues just to name a few.
Testing for hormone imbalances is essential and this is something covered in this episode.

EP 18 Functional Pathology, Hormone testing and Gut Microbiome Testing with Naturopath Ellen
How many times have you heard “Your blood tests came back all normal” and you’re sitting there in front of your healthcare practitioner with your eyes hanging out of your head and about to cry if you hear that line once more?
Honestly, the amount of times I have heard that from patients is absolutely uncountable! Blood pathology is such an exciting part of your health journey and can uncover so much more than what you may think. Blood pathology optimal ranges are based on the people who get the blood tests done. Usually “healthy people” don’t get sent to do blood tests all too often. Blood test optimal ranges are based on an average of the people who get the blood tests done. Therefore, the optimal ranges I want my patients to be in are often different to the “standard” on the lab form. Blood pathology can mean so much more than just what google says. I have spent many years studying how to interpret blood pathology better and more in depth. Even a simple iron test can tell us a lot about how your immune system, adrenals and hormones are functioning.
Check out episode 15 here all about iron deficiency and why it's not just about how much red meat you eat or what iron supps you take.
Free optimal ranges pathology guide available for download here so you can cross check your bloods.

Ep15 Iron Deficiency - The Real Reason You're Struggling To Build Your Levels Up with Rebecca Edwards from Activated Probiotics
In this week’s episode, we speak with Rebecca Edwards, Director of Education at Activated Probiotics all about iron deficiency, Why aren’t we absorbing iron & what to do about it - especially in women.
This episode is quite technical language heavy but trust me - it will all make sense in the end!
Low iron is something that Doctors, Naturopaths and Nutritionists see A LOT of in clinic - would even say approx 80% of my clients present as iron deficient when starting initial treatment with me. And often, despite having taken high doses of iron supplements or even iron infusions in the past they find their levels simply do not budge. It can be so frustrating to many which is why I want to unpack the misconceptions around iron absorption in this episode.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Reasons why we may not be absorbing our iron - Eating too little? Supplement not strong enough? Taking too much?
- What actually blocks our iron - you may have heard of coffee & other tannins but what else!!
- Learn how our gut health is VITAL part of the puzzle to your iron levels
- Why taking iron everyday may be stopping you from building up your iron stores
- How other supplements like zinc and calcium levels affect your iron absorption
Rebecca is a speaker, writer, educator, and qualified Naturopath. She has over twenty years experience in education and has lectured in Australia, the UK, and the US, and delivered naturopathic education to healthcare practitioners all around the world. Rebecca is also the Director of Education at Activated Probiotics, where she is finding and sourcing the latest research.
