Right now, it’s easy to feel stuck. The headlines are full of rising costs, job insecurity, and global uncertainty. When fear is in the air, the natural response is to freeze — to put off dreams, play it safe, and wait for “the right time.”

But what if now is the right time? What if the economy being “a bit crazy” is actually the perfect window to create something small, grassroots, and meaningful?

In this episode, H walks you through:

• Her personal story of leaving corporate burnout behind
• The 5 key steps to start your own bake-from-home business
• Tools to regulate your nervous system and move forward from calm, not panic
• What makes micro-businesses resilient in unpredictable times
• The truth about ingredient price hikes, self-doubt, and getting council approval

Plus, she answers real listener questions like: “What if I’m not a sales person?” and “How much can I actually earn?”

Whether you’re looking for more meaning, freedom, or simply something that fits around your real life — this episode is packed with grounded encouragement and next steps.

Today I am joined by Elyse Comerford, an Integrative Nutritionist and Certified GAPS (Gut & Psychology/Physiology Syndrome) Practitioner, Holistic Health Coach, Exercise Scientist, Keynote Speaker, Mentor, and most importantly, Mum to Dylan!

Elyse says: my primary focus for the past few years has been in private practice, helping hundreds of families overcome a whole host of health issues through the implementation of nourishing and healing diary principles, reducing toxic stress, and the GAPS protocol. This has become my specialty, and has led me to work with families all over the world. It has been a culmination of my education and experience in Nutrition, but most importantly my experience in my own healing journey. It is this experience that has driven my passion to empower as many people as possible with the key to their own health. My approach is based on taking the normal “guilt, blame, shame and deprivation” approach and completely turning it on it’s head, focussing instead on healing, nourishing, and listening to the body.

In this episode we explore:

• if and when you should try GAPS
• the best way to do it
• Elyse’s journey
• acceptable levels of busyness
• why intro to GAPS can feel scary
• why full GAPS isn’t and what it is
• the GAPS principals
• the healing GAPS foods

Barbara will demystify Human Design – a jargon-heavy complex system into a fun and easy to integrate tool to help you activate your soul further. We talk through the different energy types and personas and discover how much you can learn about yourself just based on the time and place you were born.

Barbara is an Irish girl who has made Australia her forever home. She is super passionate about helping women recognise they are not broken and in fact they are amazing. She has an infectious laugh and she loves bringing joy to all of her sessions. She had her own Spiritual Awakening after the birth of her two daughters and was soon catapulted onto a TV show doing live ‘psychic readings’ and whilst this was fun, there was something missing. This seeking called her deeper into the path of the Mystic and Intuitive and into the labyrinth of the subconscious.

For years Barbara tried to do business the way she thought she should (eh, closet control freak!) and it was ‘hard’ work. In 2019 she surrendered her business to the Universe and it kept bringing her back to Human Design, which she had tried hard to ignore. Since she has embraced and aligned with her own Human Design (she is a Projector) life and business have transformed and now they are super fun. She is super excited to gift this wisdom to other women on their seeking journey of discovering who they truly are.

5 years later they are stocked in five countries across the world and have over 2,000 stockists. How did Mark do this? How did he take the big leap, how does he juggle entrepreneurship with his family and how the heck does he get the kids to have fermented food?

Mark also shares his story of how he got into business with Pete Evans to produce the HEAL range.

Mark’s story is inspirational and makes you feel like you could do it too – especially if you don’t see yourself a as ‘business’ person in the traditional sense – Mark says he is ‘allergic to spreadsheets’ – how refreshing to know you can take your passion and turn it into a successful business – even if you do make a few mistakes along the way.

Cinnamon and her husband have three sons. Cinnamon is a professionally trained social worker with no prior business training or experience; working in state government for her working career.

After having her third child William, who has Down Syndrome and numerous food intolerances, Cinnamon discovered she needed allergy-friendly nutrient-dense products for William that he could safely eat.

For example, William loved Vegemite but had to stop eating it as he was intolerant to its ingredients and was causing him ongoing gut issues. Cinnamon discovered that there were no alternatives to Vegemite William could safely eat. So over three years with a passion for cooking and creativity, Cinnamon experimented with creating one. EveryMite is the result of these years of development, and now William has a Vegemite-like spread he loves and thrives on.

When the word spread that this alternative existed, Cinnamon discovered that EveryMite was in demand. As such, she started a business from scratch to manufacture EveryMite and distribute it around Australia so everyone could access EveryMite to make their life easier too.

EveryMite is now available in most health food stores around Australia, with its demand increasing everyday as people with food intolerances learn there is a Vegemite alternative they can safely eat. Cinnamon has even found that people who don’t have food intolerances love EveryMite because it gives them a healthier spread – one that is preservative-free and nutrient-dense.

Cinnamon knows how difficult it is to have a son with serious food intolerances and gut issues. As such, EveryMite’s purpose is to make life easier for people with a food allergy or intolerance.

EveryMite’s motto is to “Spread on a Smile, everyday” with EveryMite.

EveryMite has three versions now available- The Original, Low Aussie Salt, and Fodmap Friendly- which means that almost anyone can eat EveryMite.

If you keep coming ‘undone’ on your health journey, or keep self sabotaging yourself, the key to success and freedom is to understand WHY.

Can you conceive that we are more addicted to the come down than to the high?  Sounds crazy right, but it is true and Tam is going to explain why.

I think you will experience some major a ha moments listening to this!

Food and drug addiction are simply physical manifestations of an addiction to stress or to be more exact to fear… our addictions are simply trying to turn off our stress response – the wind down wine – but they ultimately feed the stress response through the come down – the hangover Our cells are physiologically addicted to adrenalin and cortisol What we want to do is to become more addicted to oxytocin – love vs fear, through our 4 connection strategies – self, others, earth and spirit – there aint no come down from these babies!! But fear will ultimately rise again to be fed – and this is where mindfulness and EFT are so important as tools to overcome addiction. We are more addicted to our fearful thoughts than we are to sugar!!

You can get a Free Masterclass from Tam on “The Root Cause of all Addiction and How to Overcome it ” here.

After having been a drug and alcohol counsellor for over 10 years – Tam realised that we have all been focusing on the wrong thing – that we are more addicted to the come-down than to the high! She has developed her own groundbreaking, earth shaking – completely upside down way of working with addiction and is having incredible results.

Kim set a world record as the youngest female to run 100miles in less than 24 hours in 1989. 68 year old world record holder Cliff Young was her mentor at the time and to this day lives by his ethos that success is 90% mental and 10% physical. She has used her running story as a direct metaphor for life – riding the highs, hitting the walls, pushing through the pain barriers, crossing the line and never, ever giving up!

Kim believes it is your inner power, passion and commitment and having truckloads of self-belief that distinguishes you as an achiever. It’s about visualising your dream and going for it – regardless of the feedback you receive or the challenges you face. As a 5 times best-selling author, creative director of Twenty8, aromatherapist, health and lifestyle educator and a multi-tasking mum and wife, Kim is someone who shares her essential tools for self-care, discipline, leadership and teamwork and most of all the importance of the art of self love.

In this episode we dive into all things really doable about Self Love and Kim walks us through her circle of Self Love.

We dive into:

– self care is not selfish it’s essential – daily rituals for self-care – the art of self love and the what are the 6 steps to get there – how to get up over and through tough times – the powers of essential oils – safety of essential oils – chemical-free living – how to have dynamic and beautiful relationships – understanding personality types

We are collaborating with the amazing Pete to bring you our No Nut Hemp Bread which is a delicious low carb lunch box friendly new addition to our range – you can even make sandwiches with it!  Gasp!

Pete is graciously donating his $1 per loaf royalty to Hope For Health.  Primal Alternative will also pay an extra $1 to Hope For Health for all Online Shop purchases.

Helen Padarin is a naturopath, nutritionist, best selling author and speaker. Helen has been in clinical practice for 18yrs, is an ambassador for the Mindd Foundation and co-authored The Complete Gut Health cookbook with Pete Evans, Bubbayumyum with Charlotte Carr and Pete Evans and authored chapters on paediatrics and ASD in clinical textbooks. Passionate about learning from Indigenous communities, and also wanting to give back, Helen partnered with Kama Trudgen of Hope for Health to create TOGETHER Retreat. TOGETHER Retreat is an immersive cross cultural journey that provides a unique and powerful opportunity to pay it forward while learning and healing on a journey hand in hand with indigenous brothers and sisters.

Kama Trudgen is a Medical Doctor who stepped sideways from clinical practice to be immersed in the world of community development. She spent 8 years living on Elcho Island in North East Arnhem Land in a remote Yolngu community. In the process of overcoming heartbreaking fertility issues, Kama discovered the power of nutrition. She now has two beautiful sons! Sharing her families healing foods with a sick Yolngu friend started a chain reaction in the Yolngu community that birthed the Hope for Health program. The program uses experiential education and the framework of the Yolngu traditional diet, to help empower Yolngu people to reclaim their vitality. Kama is passionate about the power and relevance of the wisdom held in traditional cultures, and in bridging the gap between the Yolngu world and the dominant culture.

In this episode we find out:

– What and who is Hope for Health – What and who is TOGETHER Retreat – Realities for remote indigenous communities and their health – current health crisis of lifestyle diseases – assumed knowledge (how it can be difficult for non-indigenous / dominant culture to understand that indigenous communities may not realise that sugar / coke etc is bad for your health. – the value of traditional diets – the value of traditional knowledge – the importance of healing the gap between indigenous and non-indigenous cultures and communities

Rach says: Howdy Sweet Spuds! I’m Rachie; Nutritionist, Hatha Yoga Teacher, and Author of the playful, cheeky and eclectic ‘health and lifestyle’ (for lack of a better, less-cliched term for such a genre) book; Periods, Poo and A Glorious You. My mission is to demonstrate – through being my daggy, down-to-earth self – that ‘wellness’ (man, is THAT word overused nowadays) needn’t be stereotypical or obligatory. Optimising happiness by nourishing all corners of your life is fun, as is preventing disease by having enough self respect to care for your mind-blowingly loyal body. I’m a food nerd and yoga-addict who proves by example that nurturing one’s self is wildly entertaining and ridiculously gratifying.

Krissy says:

The Inspired Little Pot was born from my desire to understand and reduce the toxins I was exposing my children to. When I started this journey, it happened quite quickly. Once I learned information about a particular chemical or the contents of a mainstream product, I couldn’t unlearn it.

This led to a whirlwind of research, recipe-experimentation, testing, tweaking and refinement. It didn’t take me long to realise that I was able to achieve almost the same results with recipes made from natural ingredients as I was from the mainstream products I used to buy. Yes, I was putting in a little more effort than when I was visiting the supermarket beauty and cleaning aisles, but I was (and still am) okay with that. It is so worth it. Plus, I now know we simply need less, and we save so much money.

The Inspired Little Pot is more than a business or a brand. It’s about awareness, education, and empowerment, it’s about simplicity, a natural existence and thriving health. We want to spread this message far and wide: let’s be conscious consumers and advocate for our health, and for the health of future generations from whom we borrow this planet; let’s not wait for someone else to create change, let’s stand up and do it for ourselves.

But….it’s so bloody time consuming!  All of that shopping, planning, prepping, chopping, cooking…with no guarantee that the kids will even eat it!

That means that maintaining this kind of lifestyle can be just way too stressful and overwhelming for many.

There are working Mums running in the door at 7pm, starting to make dinner from scratch.  There are women struggling with health conditions trying to muster the energy to cook for the family…yet again!

Bek Daley has spent her life helping others.  She is a Mum from Brisbane QLD and founder of I H8 Cooking!

Bek has a national network of home cooks who come to your home and cook, like a cleaner comes and cleans.

I have been following Bek out of professional interest – after all she has created a vaguely similar model to my Primalista Baking Licence.  This is a model where women who love cooking with their Thermomix, can earn an income by helping others.

When I saw she had a cook in Albany, where I live – I had to give it a whirl!  All I can say is. – life changing!  I didn’t realise how much I needed an extra hand.  Having an I H8 Cooking Cook come to my house once a fortnight has given me space to breath and heal and my freezer is full of amazing primal aligned meals ready to go.

This isn’t an advertisement for I H8 Cooking at all – this isn’t sponsored.  This is just a company I love and I wanted to interview founder Bek to see how she started her biz and how it works to share with you.

I hope that this will inspire you to get started on that dream of yours, or will help you get some assistance with the daily household chores.

You can find out more about I H8 Cooking here.

On their website you can check out their menus, there are lots of primal and low carb options and you can specify if you have special dietary requirements.

I am so grateful to Jo for providing not only providing delicious easy to prepare family-friendly meals but also for creating a community of fellow Quirkies in the Quirky Cooking Chat Group.  Jo is real and sincere, open and honest, ethical and caring and she makes herself available for support and advice helping many on their journey to reclaiming their health.

But, she also has four kids and a healing journey of her own and her kid’s healing journeys too!  So how on earth does she do it? How does she have the energy and drive to keep showing up on our social media feeds day after day for over ten years?

Toward the end of last year Jo gave me permission to get some help around the home so that I could free up my time to spend doing what I am good at – being with my family and working on my business Primal Alternative.  There is some resistance around us women asking for help, paying for help.  We are almost considered less noble if we do.  But at what cost?  I was trying to do all the things and keep all the plates spinning at the cost of my own health and stress levels.

So I invited Jo onto the show to share her secrets of success without burn out and to give you the permission to get the help you need in your life. Whatever that may look like for you.

Jo Whitton lives with her family in Far North Queensland, Australia, where she runs Quirky Cooking from home and enjoys the country life. Growing up, Jo struggled with health issues such as frequent colds, histamine reactions, tummy upsets, food intolerances, blood sugar fluctuations, hormone problems, acne, and being chronically underweight. As she got older her health grew worse, and her children also began to have similar issues. Jo began researching ways to improve their health through diet, experimenting with alternate ingredients and allergy-friendly versions of family favourites. Their health began to improve, and in 2008 she began her blog, Quirky Cooking, to share the recipes she was developing. In May 2014 she published her best-selling Quirky Cooking cookbook with Thermomix in Australia, and began to teach healthy cooking seminars in Australia and overseas.

However, in June 2014, Jo felt like she hit a brick wall. Despite all the work she’d done to heal her family, her son Isaac’s health (13 yrs old at the time) suddenly went downhill. He descended into anxiety and severe OCD, and Jo realised that they had really just been treading water with an allergy-friendly diet, and they urgently needed to address the root cause of the health problems they’d been facing over the years – poor gut health. They embarked on a journey to heal Isaac through the GAPS protocol (GAPS: Gut and Psychology Syndrome). Within weeks they saw massive changes, not only in Isaac’s health, but also in Jo’s health and the health of the whole family. Within a year, Isaac was off all medication and living a normal life, Jo’s health had completely turned around and she had gained a healthy weight, and the family no longer struggled with food reactions.

Jo shares their family’s journey and interviews parents and practitioners with experience in natural healing in her podcast ‘A Quirky Journey’, along with her co-host, whole food chef Fouad Kassab. In 2017, Jo and Fouad published a best-selling cookbook called ‘Life-Changing Food’, and together they hold seminars and cooking demonstrations around Australia to share the importance of eating a healing, whole food diet. Jo also has an online program called Quirky Cooking for Gut Health, to support people working through the GAPS Intro diet.

You can find Jo at Quirky Cooking (the blog), and on Facebook, Instagram, the Podcast, and the Gut Health Program. Jo and Fouad’s cookbook, Life-Changing Food, is available online here, or from many health food stores and bookstores.

On this show, I interview Shelley McKenzie from Freedom Wellness to share with us some actionable tips about how to maintain good health whilst still enjoying the pleasures that life has to offer!  Hoorah for that!

Shelley Mckenzie is qualified Nutritionist, and soon to be Naturopath, passionate about using food first to heal the body. She hopes that by sharing knowledge and passion, she will inspire you to make healthy and positive changes in all areas of your life.

She also offers comprehensive online wellness programs as well as a popular blog, where she creates and shares three healthy recipes a week to help you on your journey.

After experiencing her own sudden health storm in 2013, leading to an autoimmune diagnosis. Shelley took it upon herself to learn to listen to the screams and whispers of her body and heal using the power of food. Since then Shelley has continued to practice what she now preaches, whilst learning along the way that happiness is a large part of health. So finding the perfect balance between health and enjoyment is essential. She lives a clean life but still loves dining out regularly especially when an espresso martini is involved.

She believes Freedom Wellness is a support system for all things health and wellness. And says “my mission is to empower & inspire women to heal their mind, body & soul with greater insight into what gives them true balance and wellbeing!”

• You feel tired more often than not
• Your sex drive is low or non-existent
• Your brain is foggy
• You feel depressed
• You exercise and eat well but still can’t lose weight

This is the wonderful world of hormones! Unfortunately, when our hormones are involved or I should say NOT involved in the right way, weight loss becomes impossible!

I loved my chat with Megan, we are sisters with very aligned values.  She was so generous with her time, after the interview we chatted for over an hour about food business!  Amazing woman!  I am so grateful to Megan, as I know all of her devoted fans are too.  You will love this episode!

From the moment Megan could reach the kitchen bench she has been creating amazing recipes and meals for her family, friends, and professionally.

After a short 13 year career in various award winning restaurants and cafes in Newcastle, Megan left to pursue a career in business development and sales, before returning to recipe development for her first blog Clean and Dirty Food.

In 2017 Megan was diagnosed with insulin resistance after struggling with her weight and health for more than 15 years.

Discovering the ketogenic diet Megan went on to lose more than 30 kilograms, self publish 4 cookbooks and many digital recipe eBooks and start 365, an online keto lifestyle and meal plan program.

Mad Creations website and company has kept Megan crazy busy and afforded her to now work full-time doing what she loves and helping others transition into the keto lifestyle and regain control of their health.

You can find Megan on the website www.madcreationshub.com as well as all social media

The post PAP 46: Wendy’s Way to Wellness appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

Growing up Steph was only concerned with nutrition to lose weight, and even though a low fat diet got her to her ‘goal’ weight it didn’t make her happy.  A friend challenged her to go gluten free some ten years ago – way before it was cool and the norm and she has never looked back.

In this episode we dive into:

• How a SAD diet impacts our longterm health and gut health
• How you can eliminate some common niggling symptoms with LCHF
• How to know when you are doing it right – how does that look?
• Is Keto and LCHF for everyone?
• How does LCHF & Keto vary based on an individual and their training needs
• How to fast easily
• What does the journey look like when you choose to work with Steph and her team?
• What’s next for Steph?

Fourteen years of working in wealth advisory and a lifetime of love for all things health and wellness has brought John Purl to where he is today, a business owner, a father and a desire to help others improve their health/wellness and career/financial success.

With this comes an understanding that to succeed in your career, in your family life, in your business, in your pursuit to becoming a better/healthier you, you need to play the ‘long game’. To play the long game you need support, education and encouragement which is what drives John each day.

Well now you can!

Emma Turton is a Medical Intuitive. She is one of a rare breed: both a science geek and an intuitive badass. Combining an extensive scientific background in health with a powerful non-local intuitive connection, Emma elevates her clients to overcome life’s obstacles with ease so they can access the deep connection with their soul that is their birthright. 

Whilst working as a Physiotherapist, Nutritionist and University Lecturer, Emma realised that she was accessing her clients’ bigger picture with her innate intuitive abilities. In doing so she uncovered a ground-breaking approach to health that is set to change the global paradigm for disease management. 

Emma views health as a tool for awakening consciousness, and her many clients’ success stories speak volumes about how well this approach works. Emma’s own journey from chronic health crisis to totally healed was what put the fire in her belly about deepening into the meaning behind our symptoms and the intuitive guidance encoded in our physiology. 

Currently writing a book that will change the way we view our bodies, Emma is a sought-after intuitive guide, body-to-soul translator and educational speaker.

Lucy is also a philosophy geek, writer of conscious poetry, foodie, nature lover, adventurer, ecstatic dancer and mover.

One of the turning points in Lucy’s journey was in 2010 when she was volunteering in communities in Denmark and Malawi and noticed the poor nutrition in both areas she was living. She noticed how much this really affected her, and it was in this realisation that something deep within was sparked that changed the game completely. This sent Lucy down the path of nutrition and health, continuously looking at what humans require to be healthy by living as closely to our natural design as possible in a modern context, according to nature’s way.

I love how Lucy talks about why we should ‘go backwards’ to find our true nature and how nature is not outside us but rather: we are nature.

Lucy talks us through what she ate for lunch and how going grain free CURED HER ASTHMA!

Lucy shares some of her non negotiable lifestyle tricks that keep her centered, grounded and present.

She explains how “connection is hard wired in us” and why holding space with other women in circle creates a safe space, without judgement, where no advice is given can be a beautiful human experience.

You are going to love Lucy’s relaxed voice and calmness!  Enjoy this episode to further explore how health is SO MUCH MORE than just the food we put in out mouths.
