EP92 - The Real Food MasterClass - with Gary Jackson
This the latest episode of the Re-Invent Health Podcast, I chat with Gary Jackson from Jackson’s Real Food Market about Real Food. There is a lot of confusion about what it means to eat real food as opposed to processed and ultra processed foods and how they affect your heath.
We will will also be talking about our upcoming MasterClass starting on 23 May. This will take place over 3 Thursday evenings live at the Bryanston Store. And will give you a chance to really understand how what you eat is affecting your health and longevity.
We will debunk many diet related myths and teach you how to nurture your brain and body with real food.
I can guarantee that by the end of the Masterclass you will never go looking for a diet ever again or be tempted to try a fad that you see online.
Some of the topics we will cover include
- Understanding macronutrients and how they affect you at different stages of life.
- How much of each macronutrient you should be eating and what that looks like.
- How to create a meal plan that isn’t time consuming
- Nutrition and brain health
- What your cravings are trying to tell you.
- How to take the hassle out of food prep.
- How flavour, texture, scent and colour affect brain chemistry and cravings.
- Psychoneurobiology - the brain-body connection
- Accountability and health
- The benefits of exercise for your brain
- Understanding food labels

EP91 - Breathwork and Self Inquiry - with Niki Seberini
Hi Everyone
In episode 91 I have the wonderful Niki Seberini back on the show.
This time dive deeper into what each and everyone of us can do to manage stress, anxiety and optimise our health better. All through the one modality we have available to us at any time. That being our breath.
Breathwork is the missing key to optimal health. You don't have to go outside of yourself to find it, nor do you have to join a club or spend lots of money in order to access it. You just have to consciously shift it and the benefits are extraordinary.
According to Dr Darragh O'Carroll breathwork may:
- boost mood
- decrease high blood pressure
- deepen relaxation
- help with symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- improve alertness, focus, and memory
- increase heart rate variability (a metric associated with longevity, fitness, and mental health)
- promote creativity
- promote quality sleep
- soothe emotions associated with grief and trauma
- reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression
- reduce symptoms of asthma
- reduce symptoms of stress

In this short episode I am going to answer one of the questions that I get sent time and time again. That being, how can I manage IBS, it’s ruining my life.
Anyone who has ever suffered with long term abdominal pain will know how difficult it is to treat let alone cure IBS
and how many different approaches you have to try before finding some kind of relief, only for it to be temporary.
I do need to emphasise up front that if you are suffering from any health concern, your first port of call should always be your doctor. It is really important to rule out any serious medical conditions first.

Ep79 - Running for Longevity - with Jurgen Vogt
Mention running to many people and they visibly cringe. When I started running I had no idea that in order to cover significant mileage comfortably you actually needed to keep your heart rate low from beginning to end, which is why it took me so many years to learn to enjoy running.
A couple of months ago I came across the Mindful Runners website I contacted Jurgen and began my journey of learning to slow down, become aware of my physiological responses to exercise and be mindful of building an acerbic foundation. With consistent practice and the right coaching, it is indeed possible to change a lifetime of un-resourceful training habits.
In this episode I chat with Jurgen Vogt - ultra endurance athlete with a degree in sport psychology, certified Life Coach, BreathWork coach and a UESCA certified Ultra-Running Coach.
Jurgen explains just how and why everyone can enjoy and have fun running if done the right way.

Ep56 - The How, What and When of Supplements - with Dean Hall
Today I get to chat about supplements - the latest research in supplementing, new discoveries for joint and cartilage health as well as the importance of vitamin K2 and how creatine works, with none other than Dean Hall. Dean’s career as a Springbok Rugby player was cut short due to injury, and a series of medical treatments that unfortunately resulted in long term side effects which ended his career as an international rugby player.
After 10 years as a professional athlete Dean had to adjust to living a different life and finding his niche in the world again. His lessons as rugby player taught him that performance and recovery are as much an art as a science, creating the foundation that drives his passion to source and provide the best quality and clinically validated ingredients that truly make differences in people’s lives.
If you would like to get in touch with Dean you can contact him at dean@sologroup.co.za

EP49 - The Art and Science of Olive Oil - with Brenda Wilkinson
Im am absolutely fanatical about the quality of the foods that we choose to eat. In many ways this is one of the first rules of healthy eating and olive oil is no exception.
Unfortunately most people don’t understand why it is so important to be really fussy about the olive oil they choose to buy or even what to look for a good quality product. Brenda Wilkinson of Rio Largo chats to us about what you as the consumer need to look for when purchasing a great olive oil. Good quality virgin olive oil is high in protective polyphenols or antioxidants. It is known to be protective against heart disease, dyslipidemia and dementia. I cannot emphasise enough how important is it to shop around, ask questions and look for certification when you are spending money on olive oil.

EP47 - The Art of Observing Your Own Mind - with Niki Seberini
In March 2020 I interviewed Niki Seberini about her commitment to run the Jerusalem Marathon, having literally hated running her entire life. Inevitably, the marathon was cancelled due to covid. But not one to back down from a challenge, Niki persevered and in true Mind Freedom Fighter style, reframed running as a mindfulness exercise.
It is for this reason whether we are conscious of it or not, that exercise is so useful as part of your stress management strategy. She also goes into the practice of observing your thoughts rather than getting sucked into the vortex of anxiety and stress.
Niki Seberini is a well known talk show host on Chai FM and mindfulness facilitator and you can find out about getting in tough with Niki on the show notes page. I hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did.

EP46 - Optimising Fertility when Nothing Else Works - with Amanda Kouaiky.
This episode of the Re~Invent Health Podcast is for anyone who is, or knows of someone battling with fertility.
Over the years as a nutritionist I have seen dozens of women go though absolute torment at the prospect of not getting pregnant. Sadly too often, some of the most basic biomarkers for a healthy pregnancy are completely disregarded in mainstream treatment. By addressing nutrition, managing stress and supplementing with bio identical progesterone, which are essential to conception and pregnancy seem to fall by the wayside.
In this episode I chat with Amanda Kouaiky who shares the most incredible story of how she and her husband battled to conceive and how they turned this experience into a business that helps couples along their fertility journey with some of the most innovative and simple tools. Please share this story with anyone who you know who may benefit from this information, And please don’t forget to rate and leave a comment.

EP43 - The psycho-social impact of the corona virus. Has it has been used as a tool of manipulation? - with Dr Ian Weinberg
Dr Ian Weinberg, neurosurgeon, author of Quantum Leap and Leading with Conscious Awareness. Ian is one of the pioneers of psycho-neuro- immunology, or how our thoughts create the chemistry that supports of destroys our immune system.
In this episode we discuss the data or lack thereof behind the virus that has turned the world on its head. The technology behind the vaccine and the convergence of multiple issues that we as a world population have been facing for several years. Most notably the abuse of power by the powers that be and the stakeholders guiding the media. It seems to be coming into sharp focus that what we should be fearing is not a virus, but our inability to think and ask logical questions. And how fear creates a state that renders us vulnerable to illness.
