UC 398: What my Body Is Telling Me with Dr Anthea Todd
Friday Jul 26, 2024
Friday Jul 26, 2024
Introduction:
Dr Anthea Todd is not even 30, she is a published author, chiropractor, she has done studies in Womens Health and Reproduction and is an incredible skateboarder who can, film, talk about health and skate through the busy streets of where she lives. The chatters are blown away by the calibre of insight, knowledge, experience this generation seems to have harnessed. They are stepping up to the plate to help humanity and Anthea is one of them. She will change the trajectory of human health. Her fundamentals of health include a well functioning nervous system, healthy metabolism, blood sugar regulation and the need for nutrients. Her book What’s My Body Telling Me is a must read for all seeking to become the co-creators of their own health and wellbeing. The Chatters had many aha’s and questions for this incredible young lady.
QuotesI come from a lineage of healers and became obsessed with what the body is telling you.Everyone is so overwhelmed and confused.You are taught there’s nothing wrong with you unless tests can prove it.We are missing the warning signs, the whispers.Is it normal? Or is your body trying to tell you something?Our bodies are always giving us signs and we have to remember it is on our side.You are alive, because your body is always looking out for you.The things you can’t see create the things you can’t see.You need to ask yourself, if your body has what it needs to function at its best.Looking after your body should not be seen as another job.We place too much emphasis on external things to fix us.Use your mind as a resource and your body to make the decision.Listen to all the little things.Get quiet. Use your self-energy. Believe your body is always looking out for you. Ask it if there is anything it would like you to know?

UC 397: The GP that makes a difference
Friday Jul 05, 2024
Friday Jul 05, 2024
Introduction
Dr Nelum Dharmapriya is in the chatters neck of the woods, but they had not heard about her until recently. When people are on the same trajectory there seems to be an invisible connection that draws them together. Nelum has been a GP for 20 years, but it wasn’t until her own health crisis that she realised that the diagnosis and medication route was not working for her and decided to research and try something new. She read the Obesity Code by Dr Jason Fung and it made sense. She chose 4 strategies, she prioritised Real Food, prioritised protein, went low carb and added healthy fats.
She realised that perhaps her patients would improve if she also helped them with these priorities. Dr Nelum began Whole Food Revolution where she teaches her patients the basics of good eating but also ensures their mindset is set for the changes ahead. 1 day workshops help people through the process.
QuotesPeople knew what to do but couldn’t do it.I was taught to diagnose and treatSnoring could be excess fat in the tongue due to visceral fat.Brown fat is in the mitochondria and generates heat.4 Strategies; Real food, prioritise protein, low carb and add healthy fatsMindset was important.

UC 396: You can be your own doctor if you pay attention
Friday Jun 14, 2024
Friday Jun 14, 2024
Introduction
Our guest today is Cameron Borg, a 27 year old man, wise beyond his years. Listen in as we ask questions about his life, his study and his job as a pulmonary scientist and of course his second love Rikki Flow Nutrition Podcast. You won’t want to miss this one.
Cameron Borg is a qualified nutritionist, pulmonary scientist, podcaster and health coach. He has spent the best part of the last decade learning about why our health is deteriorating and what we need to do in order to mend it. He has worked with hundreds of clients on the foundational aspects of their health to allow them to build and optimize their health from the ground up.
QuotesYou can be your own doctor if you are paying attentionWhat you eat can change the way you feel and impact your lifeYou can learn more from one good book than three years of universityI loved being one on one,I’m going in the complete opposite to the conventional wayIf you really listen to a patient they will tell you what is going onPeople rarely change by being told what to do they can only be through making your own mistakesVegetarianism is like a right of passage for those interested in nutritionI was in an intellectually vulnerable space when veganism was introduced to me.Listening to Dr Jack Kruse when the whole facade fell away and I realised there was so much more to this than food.If you are concerned about animals you should also be concerned for yourself.There is so much more to meat equals badWithout seafood we do not have big brains this gives DHA.I needed to be slapped across the face and did that privately (on veganism)There is no time space only conscious agents and realismThe most reliable effect is the placebo effect and drug companies have to beat it, everything is measured against it.You must make mistakes in order to get to where you are.

UC 394: Perry Venakis- You are never too old to be the best version of you
Thursday May 16, 2024
Thursday May 16, 2024
Introduction;
Perry Venakis is a 60 year old energetic power house that wants to help people be the best version of who they are no matter what age. His whole life he has been studying , health, nutrition, genetics, fitness, diabetes, longevity, martial arts, biochemistry to name a few. He specialises in sarcopenia otherwise known as age related muscle loss. He talks to the chatters about this being a problem intrinsically and extrinsically. He has the answer and if you are not excited about change after listening to Perry then the chatters are not sure what will get you inspired to make the changes to be the best you can be.
It’s a simple formula of lifestyle and diet changes, but with Perry’s N90 program he has, that is scientifically proven, he can help with that aging muscle loss. Muscle loss means less activity, less health, less energy, less ability and so much more. It’s not easily diagnosed but can be easily witnessed in the aging population.
Listen in to this incredibly energetic hour with the chatters and Perry Venakis.

QuotesI have seen that body builders have a loophole in their diet, there’s a big hole in nutrition.The more you learn the more you realise you don’t know.There is two parts to wellbeing – the intreinsic and the extrinsic.The human body cannot store protein.As we age we want to grow muscle not lose it.You can turn this around and stop sarcopenia at any age.We are only 5% of a group who want to change.The dose creates the poison.My opinion is this is wrong and we will crash into that brick wall.A question I ask myself is, ‘Did our ancestors eat this way?’Why N90? 90 days is whre your journey begins.Learn how to eat, what to eat, and how much to eat!Get older comfortably and healthily.You can maintain muscle mass whilst losing weight.Eat, move and be healthy.

Book
First Principles; How a small problem in early life creates havoc across time by Scott Wustenberg
QuotesA drive for survival guided me to look at retraining.Chiropractic is a great starting point, it takes away stress on normal function and flow on nervous system.Airway dysfunction causes sleep dysfunction.The MTHFR gene affects ability of the body to utilise folate.It all starts in pregnancy.Health is a continuum what you have as a child will continue on into your adult life.If you have fragmented sleep you cannot heal.Snoring leads to health consequences.Not sleeping well and snoring will become an inability to be dynamic at 90years of age.It is so important to see that it’s a cost that needs to be paid as an investment.Sleep fragmentation has a huge effect on cognitive function.Deep sleep is where we repair the body.Classic medical models are not providing answers for us.Perhaps we have to learn a new twist on old things?Chewing is much more than getting calories into you, it’s a neurological process.Your brain is very expensive architecture, if you don’t use it you will lose it.Hope allows the capacity for change.Hope is the essential thing to pair with curiosity.We can make a difference and keep moving forward.Sleep, breathe, heal.

Introduction
Gundi Rhoades is an author, vet, farmer, mother and nature lover. She has written the revolutionary book The Food Solution. Kim and Cyndi quiz her about how we can be part of the solution to look after health and planet health rather than being part of the problem. We may only be 2 people but if everyone does the right thing by making sure we consume food grown in ecologically rich soils, nor sprayed with chemicals then collectively we can change the trajectory of human, animal and planet health. Cyndi and Kim and such fun with Gundi, she is intelligent, funny, witty, serious and above all an inspiration.
QuotesCowgirls dream of being a vet.I was environmentally aware as a teenager.People are grieving, lack of snow, normal weather patterns, they fear but don’t believe they can do anything.We can feed the system that heals planet earth or feed the system that destroys it.Roundup kills bacteria, fungi and plants, modern agriculture puts the chemistry back in the soil, but has no thought for ecologyGlyphosate destroys the ecology of the soil.We need to eat for today to save tomorrow.Eat local

UC 390: Love Medicine and Miracles with Dr Michelle Woolhouse
Friday Mar 22, 2024
Friday Mar 22, 2024
It’s official, Kim and Cyndi have a new crush. Dr Michelle Woolhouse’s interview was the most heart warming experience for our two chatters. They talked about the medical model, how it needs to change one practitioner at a time, how 35% of Australian GP’s now call themselves integrative and that more and more were realizing the importance of wholistic health care and not reductionism. Dr Woolhouse talks about what Evidence Based Medicine is, it is not just about the science but also the clinical judgement by the doctor and the patient values and preferences. The heart was a big topic, not just the physical but so much more.Dr Michelles Bio
“It is not only until we explore the whole person, that true health can be found”.
Dr Michelle Woolhouse is a doctor, mind-body medicine expert, keynote speaker, Founding Medical Director of health tech start-up Vively, Podcast host and Author of The Wonder Within.
She is an expert in mind-body medicine and how by embracing the whole you can change your life, health and relationships. She educates widely in the areas of whole person health including mental health issues, such as anxiety, stress and burn-out, psycho-neuro-immunology and women’s hormones.
Dr Michelle has advanced post-graduate training in mind-body medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, nutritional and environmental medicine and holds fellowships with the Royal Australian College of GP’s (FRACGP), the Australasian society of Lifestyle Medicine (ASLM) and Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (FACNEM).
QuotesI was young, I was wide eyed, and naïve as a young intern.When we are in fear and panic we cannot look forwardI became fascinated that eastern medicine spoke of the heart as the core essence.Healing is neve as easy as we hope it to be but it’s never as hard as we think it will beI see it time again, people searching for answers to their mystery symptoms, bouncing from specialist to specialist. Finally, when a diagnosis comes, the person is left with more questions than answersHope is such a powerful part of the healing journey.Western medicine has a heart that beats true.Stay connected to my heart the heart of those I see.The older I get the more curious I get.When we are in a state of fear and panic we don’t have access to good judgement.Being in the system I do see so many well-intentioned people.Sometimes looking within gives a greater understanding of the connection.Buddhism in medicine can be a powerful roadmap through tragedies.The Wonder Within is a heart lead playbook for the anxious stressed and burnt out.Be of the most service or help to yourself.The heart communicates to the body through sensations, knowings and emotions.The heart is the one organ fully formed and functioning in the embryo by 4 weeks at the size of a sultana.We know that hostility and loneliness are huge risk factors for heart disease.The heart has incredible depth, we have heart to heart talks, a brave heart, a kind heart.We have become obsessed by science as the only metric but historically there is an acknowledgment of the human being and humanity as a whole.It is vital to have a love of the human in medicine.Evidence based science is simply the best evidence we have at the time.We need to include the patient and their belief system and the clinician and their experience.Indigenous wisdom is about holism, inclusivity and connection.You have to have disruption and fear before a system can change.Healing is never as easy as we hope it to be but it is never as hard as we think it to be.

Dr Ron Ehrlich is a veteran in the integrative and wholistic health space. It was soon after graduation from Dentistry that he realized that the mouth was connected to the rest of the body and the mouth was the beginning of the gut and airways, this aha moment took him on the biggest education ride of his life and he has not stopped learning, 43 plus years later. He believes that the more he knows the more he doesn’t know. He is innovative, unrelenting in his pursuit to help people and a visionary in his field and many other fields.

QuotesAs a dentist it is so easy to get lost in the mouth and forget there’s a whole person attached!The more you learn the more you realise you don’t know.If you have an open mind you find another piece of the puzzle.In order to understand more you have to see it in a historical perspective.Change has to come from the ground up.My karma ran over your dogma.Good health not only makes sense it makes money.Breath and sleep are the foundation for good health.Look for the meaning in life, fulfil your potential and be in good health.

UC 388: How to Carnivore with Dr Anthony Chaffee
Friday Feb 23, 2024
Friday Feb 23, 2024
Dr Anthony Chaffee is an American medical doctor specializing in Neurosurgery who over a span of 20 years has researched the optimal nutritional habits for athletic performance and health. It is his assertion that most of the so-called chronic diseases we treat as doctors these days are actually caused by the food we eat, or don’t eat, and can in many cases be reversed easily with dietary changes.
He began his university education studying Molecular & Cellular Biology with a Minor in Chemistry at the University of Washington in Seattle at the age of 15, which culminated in attaining his MD from the Royal College of Surgeons.
Throughout his athletic career, he saw firsthand the monumental difference that diet makes to performance and recovery, and almost accidentally came across and practiced a fully carnivorous diet from age 20 to 25, having first learned of the toxic nature of plants during his university education. Since then he has rediscovered this truth and more and has dedicated many years and a large part of his professional practice to the study and education of diet and nutrition, and personally practices a fully carnivorous diet to this day, with amazing results.
He currently resides in Perth, Australia where he specializes in Neurosurgery and does private consultations and clinics in functional medicine and nutrition.
The Chatters had many questions about a carnivore diet and Dr Chaffee was able to graciously debate the two of them. There is a lot to learn in this episode of Up For A Chat about the carnivore diet and the diet and food industry that is based on religion, propaganda and money rather than what is truly needed for health.

QuotesOur ancestral diet avoided plants.The dose makes the poison.Humans are carnivores.I don’t want to come from a confirmation bias or echo chamber.Life is adaptable, humans are adaptable.We are designed to live to 120 years.We have decades more of a healthy life and we deserve that.We are the home-sapien species and that species thrives on the carnivore diet.Diseases of the west have come from foods from the west.Eat more meat, fat and water.There is a vested interest that profits greatly in us eating the wrong things and getting sick.

Adam Gibson began his professional life owning gyms in Melbourne. From gym to coaching health practitioners to build their businesses. He could see that society in general was not on a healthy trajectory. Over the pandemic Adam began a group called Parents With Questions alongside Charlie Arnott and Jon Farriss (INXS). His frustration with trying to change things from a top level down wore him out so he decided to become proactive and create Family Farms a model that worked at a grass roots level. Family Farms is group of farms around Australia owned by the people creating organic and regeneratively grown food for the people.
QuotesSociety is not on a good trajectory health wise.The way to disrupt an orthodoxy is not by challenging it but by asking respectful, curious questions about it.It’s not about being right but being curious.Corporate motive is the agenda, it’s good for profit, it’s a great business model.It’s deeper and more corrupt that what we even expected.I ask myself what can we do that is creative rather than combative?We are here to reconnect people with what is possible.It is a co-creative process that takes a whole lot of awareness.The harder they push the higher we rise.Fight with love, consciousness and a belief in our future.Seeing how people like Mandela, Ghandi and Schindler react in life in the face of violence inspires me.Robert Kennedy is my current hero, he just keeps showing up.In these times villains get exposed and hero’s get created.A connection to nature, people understanding themselves and healthy nutrition is the foundation to stand on.I’ll be the hero of my story.
