WWR 121: Our Health Epidemic – Type 2 Diabetes

Did you know that there’s a silent epidemic sweeping through our communities but also our school aged kids? Type II diabetes used to be known as adult-onset diabetes but it had to be renamed because preschoolers were being diagnosed with it!
Diabetes is a scary diagnosis but there are many warning signs and pre diabetic states that can absolutely be addressed and REVERSED with diet and lifestyle alone. In this episode of Wellness Women Radio we’re asking everyone to step up and not become a statistic in this lifestyle disease.

WWR 120: The Biology of Belief with Dr Bruce Lipton

This is an episode that we’ve been waiting YEARS for, to interview Dr Bruce Lipton! He is an visionary, a pioneer, the father of ‘epigenetics’ and just straight up genius! Tune in to hear all about how your perception and environment influence your body more than your genetics and DNA and that you are not a slave to your parents gene pool!
Dr Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., bestselling author of The Biology of Belief, is a cellular biologist and former Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine.  His pioneering research on cloned stem cells at Wisconsin presaged the revolutionary field of epigenetics, the new science of how environment and perception control genes. His later research at Stanford University’s School of Medicine revealed the nature of the biochemical pathways that bridge the mind-body duality. For more information visit www.brucelipton.com

WWR 116: Adjusting to Motherhood

Being a new mother should be the most exciting and rewarding time of your life right? But what if this transition isn’t as seamless as everyone seems to make it out to be? Is there a blurry line between post-natal depression and taking time to reconcile this new life and new role? On this episode of Wellness Women Radio Dr Ashleigh walks us through her adjustment period into being Ollie’s Mum: the good, the bad and sometimes extremely difficult days.
Did you know that 80% of women experience post baby blues? A lot of this can be because of the huge hormonal shifts that happen post birth (our period whisperer will explain!) but is it also because of the sudden, and dramatic change in identity of the mother?
