    Why do we struggle to say 'no'? In this powerful episode, I am joined by my good friend and emotional wellness expert Richard Moat. During our conversation we unpack the psychology of boundaries, revealing how our fears and inherited traumas impact our physical and mental health.

    Importantly we talk about how to reclaim your power and live authentically by learning transformative techniques to express yourself, set healthy boundaries, and break generational patterns.

    A conversation with Rich is always a fascinating one and this one is no exception.

    I hope you enjoy it!

  • Unraveling Healthcare's Hidden Truths: A Deep Dive with Rob Verkerk on Science, Politics, and Personal Resilience
    May 12 2025

    Send us a text

    In this latest episode of Functional Medicine Bitesized I enjoyed a fascinating conversation with Rob Verkerk whom I first made a connection with through the IFM and have now known for 20 years. We discuss a lot in this conversation including the evolution of functional medicine and the importance of integrating physical and ecological aspects of health.

    Rob, a health ecologist with a background in ecology and agricultural sustainability, emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to health, including diet, exercise, and stress management. We discuss the over-reliance on patented pharmaceuticals and the suppression of natural health solutions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rob highlights the importance of self-healing and reconnecting with natural systems and we also delve into the impact of corporate and government influence on healthcare policies and the need for transparency and informed consent.

    In 2002 Rob established the Alliance for Natural Health as a non-profit organisation to essentially do his life's work.

    This is another conversation not to be missed.

How exactly do diet and lifestyle affect our mircobiome, how can our bacteria affect the way we age and how do we know what to take when it comes to probiotics? Listen in to find out.

  • Measuring the Age of Your Immune System

    Send us a text

    In this episode I chat with Nikolina Lauc, CEO and co-founder of Glycanage.

    Glycanage is a biological age test paired with expert advice to help guide your wellness. It is a test that I am starting to use more and more in my patients' long term health strategy.

    The Glycange test measures Glycans, important structural molecules (made up of sugars) that play a variety of cellular and protective roles. Glycans are directly involved in the pathophysiology of every major disease and are well recognised in the scientific literature to be part of the ageing process of your immune system.

    For those interested in longevity and preventative health, this is a podcast episode not to be missed.
