182: It’s Not Your Hormones, It’s Your Minerals w/Morley Robbins

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 01:33:00 +0100

I was honoured to have Morley Robbins in the studio with me during his recent trip to the UK. Morley has been a mentor of mine for over 5 years now and what he’s taught me about the root cause of healing has had the most significant impact not only on my own health, but on how I’m able to guide others.

We took a deep dive into what it really means when mineral balance is off in the body, and why this is causing more illness than we realise.

We cover:

Why copper is the most important mineral you’ll ever put in your body and how lack of it is preventing your cells from healing
How mineral imbalance in the body affects hormones
How mineral imbalance can be a catalyst for cancer and autoimmune diseases
How everyone can get adequate mineral balance by following a simple protocol
How the Root Cause Protocol works
How discernment is the absolute most important piece in our healing journeys: what works for me might not work for you, we have to bring in intuition
The role energy plays in healing

You can read all about the Root Cause Protocol here

My article on which type of magnesium you need here

If you’d like to read the study Morley was quoting in the episode, it’s here.

I absolutely loved recording today’s episode with Lauren (Lo) Roxburgh who I had the pleasure of getting to know while we were both speaking at Gaia.

Lo has been dubbed the “Body Whisperer” thanks to her work in supporting some extremely high profile clients to get their bodies leaner, longer, taller and slimmer.

Working in instead of working out and a more feminine approach to exercise
Being the energy you want to see in the world

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Mould and other environmental toxins that we find in our homes could actually be the silent killers that are damaging our health and making it hard for us to find answers and know what the root cause is. Often that root cause is these very toxins that are hard to see.

In this episode I speak to building biologist Ryan Blaser whose expertise helps us cover these topics:

What are the environmental toxins in our homes that we can mitigate or avoid?
How to know if you have mould
The importance of water purifiers
How to keep your home healthy
The top tips for mitigating mould and other environmental toxins

173: Heal Anything Using Your Divine Gifts w/Rob Wergin

Tue, 18 Feb 2025 01:32:00 +0000

When I was speaking at the Heal Conference at Gaia at the end of 2024, there were some incredible speakers there; big names and people whose work I’d been following for a long time.

I didn’t know much about Rob Wergin other than seeing him in the Heal Documentary. But he blew me away more than anyone else. His healing session was beyond extraordinary and what I witnessed of him was mind-blowing.

I was fortunate that he agreed to do this episode, to speak about the unusual way he came to his healing journey, and how ANYTHING can be healed with a very simple approach.

A truly beautiful, authentic episode with so many nuggets of wisdom.

172: Pure Human: Stepping into Your Sovereignty w/Gregg Braden

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 00:07:00 +0000

Gregg Braden is a five-time NYT bestselling author, and one of the foremost thought leaders bridging science and spirituality. His incredible new book, Pure Human, spoke to every intuitive pull that I’ve felt over the past decade, but backed up with information that really gets you thinking.

In this episode we spoke about the themes in the book covering:

How our biology is being hacked without our consent
How it is being hacked with our consent
What biblical and ancient texts have been showing us for millennia about who and what we really are
How we empower ourselves to say no to anything that makes us transhuman and stand in sovereignty as a Pure Human
How we should be raising kids in a time when the essence of what humanism is, is changing for the first time ever

A truly life-changing episode!

170: Restoring Wellness in Ourselves & Mother Planet w/Dr Zach Bush

Tue, 28 Jan 2025 00:55:00 +0000

In December I had the honour of getting to spend some in-person time with the magnificent being that is Dr Zach Bush. For half a decade now he has been one of my greatest teachers, and getting the opportunity to ask him the questions I know this audience wants to hear, and to be in his energy, was truly magical.

I believe him to be one of the great thought leaders and healers of our time, and if we listen to what he is saying, we can restore health for ourselves and our Mother Planet. And we must.

Discussed:

- Dr Bush's background in medicine

- How our fear of viruses has damaged us

- Why the state of food and farming is impacting our health / how we can help regenerative agriculture

- The effects of glyphosate on us and our planet and what we can do about it

- How he and his colleague discovered the antidote to the chemicals that are killing us: ION

- How we heal cancer

- Why our own connection to nature and Self is key, how to create that connection

- What we can all do individually to help the planet

- Why hugging is important for our health

- The future of education

…and so much more

To purchase ION, the elixir Dr Bush created to heal our guts and brains, click here for UK and here for US.

You can read and understand more about Zach Bush and his mission here www.zachbushmd.com and here for his non-profit organisations seraphicgroup.com

168: Root-Cause Healing with Biological Medicine w/Dr Dickson Thom

Tue, 14 Jan 2025 00:22:00 +0000

I was honoured to interview Dr Dickson Thom, who has been practising medicine for 50 years and is a pioneer in both naturopathic and biological medicine.

His clinic, The BioMed Centre in Scottsdale, Arizona, is truly unique, with every diagnostic test beyond our imagination, to get to the root cause of what is making each patient unwell, regardless of the potentially reductionist diagnosis they’ve been given, followed by every treatment option imaginable. His clinic is the kind that I’ve dreamed of for 2 decades now.

In this episode you’ll learn about:

What biological medicine is, and why it’s so effective at healing most conditions
How to treat Lyme and Mould exposure
Why the label of your dis-ease doesn’t matter
How homeopathics are used in this instance
The importance of biological dentistry when it comes to healing

Dr Thom also offers courses which you can find here.

167: Taking Control of Your Health to Heal Any Autoimmune Condition w/Gabe Golden

Tue, 07 Jan 2025 01:09:00 +0000

For this first episode of 2025, I’m so excited to share with you the conversation I recorded with Gabe Golden, award winning documentary film producer and writer.

Inspired by his 30 year challenge with rheumatoid arthritis - the same condition I was diagnosed with aged 2 and battled with for my whole life - Gabe produced and directed “Lighting The Path” a feature film and multi-episode series that tells his story and several others as they navigate the path to healing from the most severe of chronic illness and autoimmune disease.

It’s truly an inspirational and motivational watch.

In this episode we speak about what it really means to be “diagnosed with an autoimmune condition”, if anyone can heal, and how, at the heart of it, we do that.

If you or anyone you know suffers with autoimmune conditions, this episode is a must for you, as is Gabe’s documentary.

163: The Journey of Cellular Healing to Heal Tumours & More w/Brandon Bays

Tue, 26 Nov 2024 01:07:00 +0000

If ever there was a full-circle, 360, “pinch me” moment, it was this one. When I was 18 and wheelchair-bound, unable to move from my couch until someone came in to feed me and take me to the toilet, one day, my mum’s friend volunteered, and brought with her a cassette tape with the Brandon Bays Healing Sands Meditation, and an intro to The Journey Method.

It was the first meditation I ever did, my first insight into what healing the whole self meant, and was the beginning of my journey, really. I’ve meditated every day since.

In this episode I got to interview Brandon Bays herself, and hear all about how The Journey has helped hundreds of thousands of people heal.

162: RISE - How to Shift Your Identity to Change Your Reality

Tue, 19 Nov 2024 00:05:00 +0000

When people join my RISE membership, in the very first module I tell them they think this is about inner child healing and shadow work and health optimisation and ancestral healing and all the other parts of the course that you go through within RISE, but that what this course is actually about, is identity. And the truth is, for every part of your life that you want to heal, or improve, it all comes down to identity above all else.

In this episode I show you just how to shift your identity to make this happen.

We’ve created a free resource to help you implement your chosen identity and you can download that here.

155: A Mother’s Quest to Heal Her Child: My Mum’s Story w/Marsha Vaknine & Lauren

Tue, 06 Aug 2024 01:18:00 +0100

My story of my childhood with debilitating autoimmune arthritis isn’t just my story, it’s my mum’s also. Her immense strength, tenacity and connection to her intuition that kept her on the holistic path despite all opposition, in a time when it was not at all accepted, is why I am here, in a state of complete wellness and able to guide others to reach the same levels of health and vitality.

The time has finally come for my mum, Marsha Vaknine, to tell her side of the story.

In this episode you’ll hear:

About my diagnosis as a baby, from my mum’s perspective
How she made the decision to opt out of the allopathic route and all that came as a result
How she used intuition to guide her
The mistakes she felt she made
How, ultimately, her choices early on were what saved me from a life of disability and worse
My very worst days of disability, told through her lens

…and so much more

Get the tissues ready, this one is emotional.

If you’re a parent with a sick child, this episode will help you a lot. If you know parents of a sick child, please make sure to send this to them.

If you'd like to contact my mum, please email support@laurenvaknine.co.uk

153: Healing Cancer Holistically w/The Conscious Oncologist, Katie Deming

Tue, 23 Jul 2024 00:50:00 +0100

If there’s one topic we all need to be highly educated about, it’s how to prevent cancer.

Unfortunately, not all of us will be lucky enough to avoid it. So, imagine if there was a person who had all the conventional education about cancer and how it affects the body, who also had answers on how to heal cancer using a holistic approach?

Luckily for us there now is, in the form of Katie Deming.

Katie’s work is revolutionary; something I’ve been hoping would appear for many years.

Having worked in radiation oncology for 2 decades, Katie could not be more qualified when it comes to cancer. Thankfully, she’s taken all the knowledge she’s gained from working with people with cancer, and created a holistic protocol to help people heal.

In this episode we speak about everything from what is causing cancer, to what makes it worse, where the medical world is failing people with cancer, and how, exactly, it’s possible to heal.

151: From Trauma to Super Attractor w/Gabby Bernstein

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 01:38:00 +0100

When I knew I’d be interviewing Gabby Bernstein, it was important to me to give you guys a little something different, something you can really sink your teeth into. She’s written 9 books and been on hundreds of podcasts so you can hear her speaking about manifestation and spirituality anywhere.

What I wanted to speak to her about was TRAUMA.

Following her book Happy Days, about her own trauma, I wanted to ask Gabby how we hold onto faith and a spiritual practice when navigating hard times, because that’s the hardest - and perhaps most important - part of our spiritual growth.

She didn’t disappoint, and this episode is truly a masterclass on how to deepen your spiritual practice through trauma, how to use that spiritual practice to overcome some of the hardest times in our lives, and how, in turn, learning how to do this leads us right back to being Super Attractors!

***Gabby will be in London on Wednesday 17th July hosting a manifesting masterclass! Click here for tickets.***

150: RISE - Lessons I’ve Learnt from My Shamanic Apprenticeship

Tue, 02 Jul 2024 01:45:00 +0100

I’ve been on a shamanic apprenticeship with my shaman - Toltec sorcerer Don Xavier - for 3.5 years. In that time, my understanding of the world, the Universe, spirituality - everything! - has changed and expanded beyond comprehension, and my life has changed beyond recognition as a result.

In this episode I lead you through the most profound and important things I’ve learnt as a result of this journey, in the hope that it will inspire and guide you in your own journey.

Please note: this is not advice or intended to serve as a spiritual lesson. These are my experiences.

149: Heal Your Emotions to Heal Your Life w/Dr Bradley Nelson of The Emotion Code

Tue, 25 Jun 2024 01:36:00 +0100

In this episode I speak to one of the world’s foremost experts on natural methods of achieving wellness, Dr Bradley Nelson. Dr Nelson is the creator of the Emotion Code, the Body Code and the Belief Code, and is the CEO of Discover Healing, a holistic education platform that provides training and certifies practitioners worldwide.

One of the biggest breakthroughs I've had with my son's big, challenging emotions is through using the Emotion Code myself, not to mention how this work has been a huge factor in my own healing journey, which is why I felt so compelled to get Dr Nelson on the show.

In this episode we speak about how you can use the Emotion Code techniques yourself to remove trapped emotions that could be causing dis-ease.

145: RISE - My Banned TEDx talk; Healing Autoimmunity, The Holistic Way

Tue, 28 May 2024 07:25:06 +0100

In November I gave a TEDx talk about my journey from severe disability to complete wellness, to a standing ovation.

TED decided not to publish it on their YouTube, stating that they couldn’t promote any talk about health that didn’t recommend the use of allopathic / western / pharmaceutical medicine.

When I heard this, I stopped appealing the case. I didn’t want to be affiliated with this organisation.

I went ahead and published the talk on my own YouTube channel, and here you can listen to it in full (it is slightly edited due to TED’s extreme guidelines at the time).

143: 2024 Astrological Projections (& so much more!) w/Danielle Beinstein

Tue, 12 Dec 2023 00:47:00 +0000

I’m going to be honest, when Dani & I get together, there can never be one linear conversation. As she puts it, sitting a Pisces and a Virgo down together… don’t expect small talk!

So, though we do begin with what the planets are doing right now and how that is guiding what we’re seeing play out with humanity, how it’s played out in the past, and what we can expect for 2024 and beyond, we also take it in so many different directions.

This is far from a linear interview. It is an open chat between 2 highly curious, inquisitive people who love to talk, explore, analyse and delve! If you enjoy that sort of thing, you’ll LOVE this episode.

We also do our unofficial annual “book review” at the end (because we are both voracious readers!), where we discuss our fav 2023 reads and what we’re recommending for 2024.

This is one you’ll want to settle in with a cup of tea for!

138: Understanding Magnesium, Mineral Balance & Iron w/ Morley Robbins

Tue, 31 Oct 2023 01:00:00 +0000

Morley Robbins is known around the world as “the magnesium man”. His EXTENSIVE research (he must be the most well-read person I’ve met on this subject) into how chronic mineral imbalances are damaging our health, prompted him to create the Root Cause Protocol - to focus on the profound metabolic interplay between magnesium, bioavailable copper and iron. The Magnesium Advocacy Group Facebook group which teaches about RCP now has over a quarter of a million followers.

In this episode we discuss in detail:

How and why we are mineral-deficient
Why iron supplementation is toxic and what we need to do about “anaemia”
How copper helps the body with many more health issues and processes than you ever thought
How and why to take magnesium, and which sorts
How to manage this during pregnancy
Thyroid health

I’ve personally implemented the Root Cause Protocol into my life and think it is absolutely vital for all of us to listen and understand this episode.

We’ll be going ahead with a Q&A episode for Morley as so many people ask questions on these topics. If you’d like to send a question for Morley that I can ask him on the Q&A episode, please send it to support@laurenvaknine.co.uk

137: Spiritual Guidance During War, Grief & Chaos w/ Aaron Abke

Tue, 24 Oct 2023 01:00:00 +0100

Friends, the past 2 and a bit weeks have been the most challenging of my life. With the majority of my family living in Israel, with us managing personal experiences of death, torture, kidnapping and more, I was broken.

But I knew that I am not of service to anyone in that state. I knew that my deeper purpose is always to help heal the collective. And I will endeavour to do that now too, through the pain, through the grief, through the sadness.

My journey has taught me that only when we open our hearts to love, can we heal. Only the vibration of love can create peace.

Which is why I invited my dear friend and colleague, Aaron Abke, to speak with me today and to help guide us through this time, using the principles of consciousness.

In the episode we speak about:

How we raise our vibration to love through the pain
How we find forgiveness for even the most evil of people and situations and why we need to
The principles of Law of One and how we can use that to help us right now
Lessons from A Course in Miracles which can help us to find the inner peace we need
How we find that place of Truth and Consciousness within ourselves
How to feel our pain, grief, anger, rage and sadness and still be able to raise our vibration

As I’m sure you can see, this was an extremely deep and profound conversation, so it’s hard to summarise it in bullet points. Go ahead and listen, because I know this will help you right now.

You can find Aaron on Instagram @aaronabke or on his YouTube channel here.

Sending love and light to all.

NB: I decided to keep the Recondition Your Life Academy open for a few more days following the release of this episode to allow any women suffering and struggling now to have access to this healing work. Click here to enrol.

134: RISE - Enhancing Spirituality Through PURPOSE

Tue, 26 Sep 2023 01:00:00 +0100

In this episode I go DEEP into what this means and just how we deepen and cultivate our spiritual practice to step further into Purpose.

123: Cultivating Healing & Intimacy in Marriage w/ My Husband Daniel

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 01:01:00 +0100

Nearly 2 years ago my husband Daniel and I recorded an episode (ep 73) about his journey to “the work” and how he came to it all and how we bring that into our relationship.

We decided to do a follow-up nearly 2 years on, about our journey since then because so much growth has happened and we’ve been through a real evolution in that time.

This episode is potentially the most raw, personal and sacred information from my personal life you’ll ever hear me talk about. We go deep and it gets juicy!

Some of the topics we cover:

Update on our relationship since last time, including the back story on how we met
Losing a baby end of 2021, how we managed that trauma and how we’ve come together even more since
How we resolve conflict and enhance our relationship
How we respond with each other’s love languages
Non-negotiables / boundaries
Biggest challenges in our relationship
Our journey with sexual alchemy

122: RISE - Shadow Work: A VERY Deep Dive (Shadow & Non-Duality)

Tue, 18 Jul 2023 00:25:00 +0100

Shadow work is undoubtedly one of the most potent self-growth tools we can learn about and work on.

As we grow up and unconsciously start moulding ourselves to fit familial and societal conditioning, we unknowingly banish or exile parts of ourselves that we subconsciously believe may not be accepted. Through doing this, we inevitably operate from inauthenticity, without even realising it.

Not only can we not heal or grow from this place, but it also makes manifestation really hard because inauthenticity holds a low vibrational frequency, which makes us resonant with low vibrational frequency situations and people.

Learning to recognise, accept and integrate the parts of yourself that you otherwise would never have even acknowledged, is incredibly powerful for healing, for our feelings on judgement, for your manifestations, and in our self-development work generally.

For me, it's been THE greatest tool in helping me understand myself, and from that place, being able to reach a level of self-mastery with my behaviours and identity. Because shadow work enables you to start operating from a place of true authenticity.

Here I talk all about that, plus how shadow puts us into separation and stops us being able to step fully into our spiritual evolution.

117: Breast Cancer Prevention & Bio Identical Hormones. Is HRT bad?? w/ The Natural Doctor

Tue, 13 Jun 2023 01:19:00 +0100

There are few things that I believe in more than the necessity for us to take a preventative approach to heal, taking responsibility and being proactive for the future of our health as opposed waiting to get sick then reacting.

Dr Nyjon Eccles AKA The Natural Doctor, runs The Natural Doctor clinic in Harley Street, London, where he created ThermoCheck®, a computer-assisted Breast Thermography system, which detects changes in breast tissue long before mammograms can. He is listed in the “Who’s Who” in the World for outstanding achievement in his field.

In this episode we discuss:

- Early breast cancer detection and how much can be done to stop it in its tracks with this approach

- Breast cancer prevention

- Breast health

- Bio-identical / body-identical hormones

- HRT

- Menopause

- Men's health

You can find Dr Eccles by visiting www.thenaturaldoctor.org.

116: The Uncomfortable Truth About Circumcision w/ Brendon Marotta

Tue, 06 Jun 2023 00:45:00 +0100

Phew. This episode was a HARD one. This subject is so contentious and so emotive, because so many of us are inextricably linked to it emotionally.

BUT … regardless of my own history with the subject, or any subject, my priority is always going to be the TRUTH, regardless of how uncomfortable that truth might be or what sort of structure or belief I’ve held around it.

Brendon Marotta made the film American Circumcision, and wherever you stand on the debate, I highly recommend watching the film, with an open heart and open mind, and listening to this episode to hear just how open-minded Brendon himself is.

There are some conversations I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to have via the medium of this podcast, and this is one of them.

Watch American Circumcision here.

Red light therapy (photobiomodulation) is one of my top tools in my wellness toolkit and in this episode I speak with research scientist, biohacker, host of the Rebel Scientist podcast, and all-round red light expert, Sarah Turner, about all things red light.

We discuss:

What is red light therapy?
How does it work?
Which health problems can it help?
Where should we avoid red light therapy?
Why do I need it?
How red light can be used cosmetically in place of more dangerous and invasive anti-aging techniques.
We talk about how it helps conditions such as eczema, anti-aging, brain health, arthritis, pain, wound healing and so much more

Ep. 106 – BEN KESTNER – Self-Directed Learning; is Unschooling the Future of Education?

Tue, 21 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The UK is ranked #23 in the worldwide education system rankings.

For one of the supposedly most evolved countries in the world, why are we number 23?

I have been fascinated with the idea of holistic education for a decade, ever since a friend gave me a book by Sir Ken Robinson, and told me to listen to his TED talk, “Do Schools Kill Creativity?”. That same friend went on to open a Democratic School, and put me in touch with Ben Kestner, who has created a system within the school he now runs that rivals any of the antiquated “education systems” we in the modern world are aware of.

Discussed:

What constitutes “education”?

Why are more families than ever opting for Unschooling?

Why are our schools failing our children?

How can we change it?

Can the system that currently exists improve, and how do we help that?

Is unschooling for me?

And ... why did I choose to recently choose to move my own son to a different school...

All this and more I speak to Ben about in this HUGELY eye-opening episode.

Whether you’re a parent or not, we all have an obligation to fight for a better, more aligned future for our children, so please make time to listen to this as a way to educate yourself on a new way of thinking.

Books recommended:

All books by Sir Ken Robinson - Finding Your Element and Creative Schools

Unschooled by Kerry McDonald

Free to Learn by Peter Gray

Ep. 104 – RAINE DUNN - Breast Implant Illness; What You Need to Know

Tue, 07 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Those of you who listen to this podcast a lot will recognise Raine Dunn. She’s been on the podcast twice before, as one of my closest friends and one of the few people in the world who acts as a true confidante and guide for me.

And both of us have recently undergone Explants, IE, removal of breast implants.

In this episode we discuss why we made this decision, what we (and many other women) experienced at the hands of breast implants, and what we uncovered in our tireless search for answers about breast implant toxicity that no one is talking about, least of all, breast surgeons.

This episode is about informed choice. Please listen with an open heart, regardless of your stance, and particularly listen if you have or are thinking of getting breast implants.

Ep.101 – JAMES WEDMORE - Spirituality is Your Superpower (in Business & Life!)

Tue, 17 Jan 2023 18:46:12 +0000

James Wedmore is my business coach, and someone I quote A LOT! His guidance, knowledge, spiritual ethos and downright complete integrity in everything he does, have inspired and motivated me more than I can ever describe - though I started this podcast before finding him, he was the reason I turned my passion into an actual business!

So of course I was SO excited to get the opportunity to speak to him on the podcast and I will go so far as to say that this episode is one of the most expansive I’ve ever recorded and that you’ll ever hear here.

Things we discuss:

Building a business with integrity
Why spirituality is THE most important aspect of running a business
How to understand the quantum mechanics behind money
Manifestation - money, relationships - everything!
The work we do with the shaman we both work with

Ep. 100 – JASMINE HEMSLEY INTERVIEWS LAUREN – 100th Episode Special!

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

100 episodes in, starting with me teaching myself how to use GarageBand and buying some basic equipment and bringing in a co-host, while I had a tiny baby and toddler (and no sleep!), to end up in the top 1% of all podcasts.

This podcast was once simply a vision to bring together all the information I’ve collated over the 2 decades I’ve spent searching for answers to what makes us whole - as part of my own journey from disability to wellness. There were podcasts for nutrition, yoga, mental health, biohacking and all the other things, but not one that combined it all. That was my vision - a hub for well-being.

And here I am, 100 episodes later! So, to mark the occasion, I asked my friend and top UK wellness expert, Jasmine Hemsley, to interview me!

We had THE most expansive chat on everything from my journey from disability to wellness that brought me here, parenthood (and the juggle!), to how to make wellness a reality, and so much more. Jasmine also took the opportunity to ask me many of the rapid-fire questions I ask guests, which was a lot of fun.

I speak about how, though my lifestyle may be more “extreme” when it comes to wellbeing than others, this podcast is a way for me to meet people where they’re at and offer them a one-stop-shop for all the health and growth information they’re looking for (and some they don’t even know they’re looking for!)

Please enjoy this very special episode that is a huge milestone for me after so much perseverance, energy, late nights, fights with technology, pestering of guests, and a vision to create a hub that makes life optimisation accessible to all.

Ep. 97 - MATTIAS DESMET - The Psychology of Totalitarianism & Understanding Mass Formation

Tue, 29 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Mattias Desmet is recognised as the world’s leading expert on the theory of mass formation as it applies to the Covid-19 pandemic.

His new book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism offers us insight into how and why populations are so easily controlled, and how it somehow follows the same pattern with each new global or national challenge we face, from the witch hunts, to the Holocaust, to Covid and more.

In this episode we discuss how it happens, and our role as individuals to be able to stop history from repeating itself.

Ep. 96 – TAMMY VALICENTI - EMDR For Trauma Recovery Results

Tue, 22 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Trauma could potentially be the driving force behind many illnesses, and when we’ve experienced trauma, finding ways out of its grip is extremely challenging.

EMDR has changed all this, as one of the fastest and most effective ways to heal trauma.

In this episode I speak to EMDR expert - and therapist to celebrities such as Gabby Bernstein - Tammy Valicenti, all about EMDR: how it works, why it works, what it is and so much more.

Stefan Chmelik is a Health visionary, stress response expert, lifelong meditator, founder of London Harley Street’s New Medicine Group and the inventor of the Sensate technology.

Ep. 93– JOEL GREENE – Hacking Excess Body Fat with an Immune-Centric Approach

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 00:15:00 +0000

Joel Greene is THE authority when it comes to understanding the gut biome, fat loss and an immune-centric approach to health.

I have personally learnt the most life-changing information from Joel, which is why I was so excited to have him on the podcast.

I would go as far as to say that this conversation will perhaps be one of the most eye-opening you’ll ever hear in relation to health and fat loss! Get a notepad and pen and make sure to take notes, you’ll need it!

And if you loved what you heard and would like to go deeper into this journey of an immune-centric approach to fat loss, Joel had kindly offered listeners of Reconditioned a 5% discount on his incredible (and very affordable) course, which you can access through this link: https://www.laurenvaknine.co.uk/veep-nutrition/ and use code ‘LAURENVAKNINE’ for 5% off.

Ep. 92 – RISE – How to Step Into Your Authenticity

Tue, 25 Oct 2022 00:15:00 +0100

When I speak about authenticity, I’m talking about how conditioning and trauma have shaped us out of the blueprint that was our authentic essence when we were born, into something completely different.

Most of the time, we don’t even realise that how we are acting - and thinking! - is incongruent with our true, core essence and was borne of nothing other than deep conditioning.

But until you figure this out and heal it, you will find it pretty darn impossible to find your purpose and live a life of fulfilment. You’ll also be less likely to manifest great things because operating from inauthenticity holds very low vibrational frequency and how can the Universe send us what we want, when what we want is based on us not being actually us?

It’s deep and it’s abstract, but it’s a fundamental part of growth and healing.

Tune into this episode so I can show you how to begin to tackle this challenge!

Tue, 18 Oct 2022 11:33:01 +0100

Emily Fletcher is the founder of Ziva Meditation, creator of The Ziva Technique and a teacher to over 40,000 meditators. She has created a concept that allows anyone - no matter how little time you have or how busy your life is - to be able to meditate.

Emily is also stepping deeply into her purpose as a sexual alchemist and the discussion we have about how meditation and sexual alchemy bring us our greatest manifestations is completely expansive and out of 91 episodes, this one will for sure be in my top 5!

How to embrace your sexuality even as a woman who feels “unsexy” or “not a sexual being” or even if you believe you don’t like sex
Why meditation is for everyone
Understanding why thoughts are not the enemy in meditation
How meditation and sexual alchemy bring us to our greatest desires

Tue, 11 Oct 2022 00:15:00 +0100

Ep. 90 - KRISTIN WEITZEL - Biohacking for Women

When we listen to biohackers talk about their findings, chances are, the research and “early adopters” of it, were men.

Kristin Weitzel is the world’s leading female biohacker, dedicated to making health optimisation accessible and RELEVANT for women.

Her depth of knowledge when it comes to health is astounding and In this episode we speak about how Kristin has taken the information a lot of the top male biohackers speak about, like ice baths, red light therapy, fasting, keto, fat loss and so much more, and made it relevant for women.

If you’ve always been interested in these topics but fear it may not have been accurate enough for you as a woman, this episode will give you all the information you need.

Topics discussed with women in mind:

When in your cycle to do which kind of exercise
Optimising fat loss
Fasting
Caffeine
Cold water therapy
Red light therapy (photobiomodulation)
Nutrition
And so much more…

Ep. 89 – KELLY BROGAN MD - Free Your Mind; The Path to Sovereignty

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 00:15:00 +0100

I speak a lot about “expanders”. In psychology, it is said that by having expanders - people who embody something we wish to become - it helps us to visualise ourselves becoming that ourselves.

For years, Kelly Brogan has been one of my biggest expanders.

Her journey from conventional psychiatry to holistic healing; her embodiment of the Divine Feminine; her unwavering knowing of who she is; her non-compliance with the machine that is big pharma and big tech.

In this episode I get to go DEEP with this powerhouse of a woman and learn about:

What it really takes to heal from depression, anxiety or other psychiatric conditions
Holistic healing of the physical body
What it means to her to step into her power as a woman
What she hopes to inspire in others
Raising and home educating conscious children

Genuinely this is one of my most favourite episodes so make sure to listen all the way through.

And if what Kelly said resonated, and you’re suffering from mental or physical health challenges, Kelly’s life-changing course, Vital Mind Reset, is open for registration now. I cannot recommend this course enough - it will change your life. If you suffer from depression, anxiety or any other psychiatric or neurological condition, simply click this link, join the course and let Kelly show you how to heal without drugs. https://www.kellybroganmd.com/a/23299/x82WSmvT

Ep. 88 – BEN GREENFIELD – How to Optimise Your Health NOW with World’s Top Biohacker

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 00:15:00 +0100

I was absolutely stoked to record this podcast with New York Times bestselling author and biohacking legend, Ben Greenfield.

We met at the Health Optimisation Summit and got to spend time together walking around Regents Park while we recorded.

Because the biohacking world is so male-dominated, I was almost jumping up and down on my seat when Ben’s talk at the summit focused less on tracking and numbers and statistics, and more about what it actually means to optimise your life - the more feminine energy within all this biohacking stuff. This is what really made me want to interview him.

In this episode you’ll hear Ben’s sought-after advice on:

Parenting with a holistic approach
Optimal daily routines
Red light therapy (photobiomodulation)
Cold water therapy
Sleep optimisation
Travel essentials and how to thrive when travelling
Optimal exercise
Diet & fat loss

Tue, 20 Sep 2022 00:15:00 +0100

My Inner Child Healing Meditation will help you with this process. You can listen to that HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxfWjguPSxs&list=PLwBUOqjoAtbP17x3V5fUpn8GFtvsDJavR&index=1&t=16s

Ep. 86 – BRUCE LIPTON – Change Your Beliefs to Change Your Life

Tue, 13 Sep 2022 00:15:00 +0100

I cannot tell you what a moment it was for me to interview Bruce Lipton, PhD. His book, The Biology of Belief, changed my life about 15 years ago when it taught me that the outcome of my health will be down to my beliefs, not my genes, and from there I started teaching myself how to believe myself out of illness.

In this episode we discuss:

Why your genes are not your destiny
How you can change your life by changing your beliefs
Understanding cell biology and how this plays a part
BRCA gene understanding
Conscious parenting in how we can shape our children’s beliefs to create more positive outcomes
What it really means to “think positively”

And so much more.

Make sure to check out www.brucelipton.com for all the resources he speaks about in this episode.

Ep. 85 - RISE - Understanding Judgement; Why We Judge & Why We Are Affected by Judgement

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 00:15:00 +0100

Judgement. We all feel it, towards others, from others, towards ourselves. And yet most of us understand that it doesn’t make us feel good.

Soooo….

Why do we judge?

What does judgement mean?

How does it affect us spiritually?

How does it relate to shadow and ego?

How can we move away from it and indeed, what can happen for us when we do?

In this episode I go deep into the subject of judgement to help us understand the answers to all these questions, and more, to help us move away from judgement and into a place of compassion, self-awareness, self-mastery and interbeing, as opposed to the separation caused by judgement.

Ep. 84 - CHARLES EISENSTEIN - The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible

Mon, 21 Mar 2022 23:15:00 +0000

I don’t often get nervous to interview guests, but having Charles Eisenstein on Reconditioned was a huge moment for me.

He is, in my opinion, one of the greatest minds of our time, and his work has not only influenced my work and inspired me to be better, it has also stirred the deep inner knowing inside me that we - humanity - are doing it wrong, but that there are solutions to do life better.

If you haven’t yet heard of Charles Eisenstein, I urge you to go to his Substack page and read as many of his essays as you can, including his thought-provoking 2020 essay, Coronation, in reference to the then new coronavirus and all associated measures - measures he prophesised in his earlier book, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible, which needs to be read by every human.

In the episode we discuss:

The myth of separation and the Story of Interbeing
Parenting with a mindset of Interbeing
The purpose of challenging times and how to navigate them
Sacred economics
The story of health technology
The meaning of life
and other totally intangible stuff that cannot be conveyed here on this page, so just sit back and listen :)

I mention in the episode Charles’s short film, A Gathering of the Tribe, created by Aubrey Marcus to offer us all access to the life-defining story Charles tells in the final chapter of The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible. Nothing has touched my soul and brought me back into a place of trust and Interbeing as much as this film has, so I would highly recommend watching it.

Ep. 83 - RISE - Why We’re Chronically Infertile (& my own fertility journey)

Mon, 14 Mar 2022 23:15:00 +0000

Fertility is a topic I’ve been wanting to speak about for a while.

I’m hugely passionate about getting to the bottom of health concerns and finding the missing pieces. I believe every health challenge has a cause, whether that be physical, emotional or spiritual - perhaps sometimes a culmination of all 3.

It’s deep, it’s intense, it hits on some hard truths, but it’s hugely expensive.

In the episode I mentioned a couple of articles I’ve written:

Ep.81 – JO FAIRLEY - When Entrepreneurship Meets Intentionality, w/ Green & Blacks Founder

Tue, 01 Mar 2022 00:15:00 +0000

Jo Fairley is the mind and intuitive force behind the pioneering and industry-defining organic chocolate, Green & Blacks.

Due to a failed crop of peanuts that her husband, Craig Sams, was unable to use for his world-famous Whole Earth peanut butter, they were introduced to a crop of cocoa beans that Jo had the initiative to recognise as something extremely special.

From that, she decided to put every penny from her flat sale into the founding of Green & Blacks, and in this episode, we speak about that journey that changed the planet, her life in the world of business, and how that tied so beautifully into wellness and sustainability (and we talk a lot about chocolate!)

Tue, 22 Feb 2022 00:15:00 +0000

I LOVE giving you guys tangible tools to help you move into a place of serious inner growth and self-mastery. And nothing screams self-mastery like the kind of emotional mastery that gets you to the level of being able to manage triggers like an emotional intelligence pro!

Why we get triggered
How our triggers relates to shadow and the darker parts of ourselves
How to recognise the darker parts of ourselves
How to overcome being triggered
Emotional intelligence

Ep. 79 – JONATHAN DE POTTER – Plant Medicine (Psychedelics) for Healing the Body, Soul & the World

Tue, 15 Feb 2022 00:15:00 +0000

In the 1960s a huge propaganda campaign ensued, with the intention of misleading people into the belief that psychedelics are dangerous.

But why were people using them in the first place?

Are they really dangerous?

Going deeper, why are they here on Earth and what is their purpose?

Shamans, sages and everyday people have been reporting access to higher levels of consciousness and deeper states of awareness, and many PTSD sufferers have reported complete trauma healing through the use of plant medicine in the right environment, with the right support, and with the right intention.

In the last decade plant medicine has made a mighty resurgence and we’re seeing why, and just what the correct use of plant medicine can do for humanity.

Jonathan De Potter is the founder and CEO of Behold Retreats, a bespoke wellness service that facilitates journeys of self-discovery and transformation, supported by the scientifically proven benefits of plant medicine therapy and in this episode we speak about just what plant medicine can do for the consciousness of humanity, and what he is trying to do within his mission.

Ep. 78 – JASMINE HEMSLEY – Closer to Nature with Food, Home & Parenting

Tue, 08 Feb 2022 00:15:00 +0000

You may know Jasmine Hemsley from her extremely popular cookbooks, the most recent one being East by West.

But Jasmine is so much more than an author of cookbooks, and the reason I wanted to get her on the podcast – and the reason I enjoyed this chat so much – was because of her dedication to getting closer to nature, and her honesty about the battle between that and modern living.

We discussed:

Gut health
Parenting as close to nature as possible
The overload of information that comes with starting on your wellness journey and how to manage that
Tools for healthy living and stress-management
Ayurveda
Organic food
Understanding the body

… and so much more

This was a fun, informal chat that hopefully you’ll find as expansive as I did.

Make sure to subscribe to www.jasminehemsley.com to get her free Cleanse & Rest program. You can also buy Jasmine’s cookbooks and products here, such as the Tongue Tingler, Kansa Wand and Neem Comb.

Ep. 77 – JURAJ KOCAR – EMFs, Healthy Water & Sleep Hygiene w/ Somavedic

Tue, 01 Feb 2022 01:01:00 +0000

What are EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) from WiFi, 4G and 5G, phones and even electricity doing to our health?
How harmful actually are they?
What are they doing to our bodies?
And how can we mitigate the effects?

Juraj Kocar answered all these questions and more in this very expansive episode.

Juraj is the CEO of Somavedic, a mechanism designed on the principle of controlled release of energy from precious and semi-precious stones that you simply plug in somewhere in your home, in order to reliably mitigate unwanted influences of:

EMF radiation (4/5G, WiFi, phones)
Geopathic stress & water crosses
Curry and Hartmann lines
Oxidative stress / free radicals

It also effectively restructures water in a way that nothing else can. And as most of the water we drink is not only full of toxins but also dead, this is hugely important as we are not hydrated. The Somavedic brings the water back to life.

I personally feel so much more energised and sleep better with a Somavedic at home, and, while I put as many measures in place to reduce the amount of EMFs at home, I can rest knowing the Somavedic is mitigating so much of it to ensure that my family’s bodies can repair and regenerate.

Ep. 75 – DR CHRISTIANE NORTHRUP – The Wisdom of Menopause; HRT or Natural?

Tue, 18 Jan 2022 01:01:00 +0000

If you’re a woman over the age of 30, no doubt you’ve thought about menopause. If you’re approaching it, you’re no doubt worried about it, and if you’re going through it, you’re probably wondering “WHAT WISDOM!”

But women’s bodies are full of wisdom.

And Dr Northrup tells us how to listen to it, to make the transition into menopause less challenging.

Dr Northrup answers the questions:

Is HRT safe and should we be choosing this option?
What are the options?
Does a natural approach to menopause work?
What about bio-identical hormones?
Can we work towards preventing a difficult menopause?
Is there a way to not suffer during menopause?
What are the leading causes of the suffering we see in menopausal women?

Dr Northrup’s best seller, Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom, has recently been completely updated and I’d recommend checking that out on amazon, along with Goddesses Never Age and The Wisdom of Menopause.

Also make sure to sign up to her newsletter at www.drnorthrup.com for essential updates.

The last episode we recorded together, Take Back Your Goddamn Power (Ep. 70) got such an incredible response that I needed to get Dr Northrup back to speak on this subject that so many of my listeners reach out to me about. She really is the leading authority on this subject.

For more info on Dr Northrup head over to the shownotes of that episode.

Discussed in show:

Dr Doris E Cohen - 7 Steps of Rebirth

Joseph Campbell – Goddesses: Mysteries of the Divine Feminine

Ep. 74 – UDO ERASMUS – Fats, Gut Health and Stillness

Tue, 11 Jan 2022 01:20:00 +0000

Udo Erasmus is most well-known for his pioneering work in the world of fats and gut health, with his eponymous supplement brand, Udo’s Choice, being one of the leaders in the world of health products and supplements.

However, it’s Udo’s deep connection to, and understanding of, consciousness, that makes him the very special being he is. Although we covered so much about fats and health, this is what made this episode so enlightening.

Because as we know, health isn't just about the physical...

Udo’s Choice was the first probiotic I ever used and the first one I gave my kids, and I’ve been adding Udo’s Oil and Udo’s Greens to our smoothies for years, so this was a bit of a moment!

In this episode we cover:

Udo’s background as an orphan fleeing a war-torn country at just 2.5 years old
The effects of trauma
What consciousness means
How to establish a mindfulness or spiritual practice
Oils, fats, which ones to avoid and which ones to love
Gut health
How to be healthy

Also, his voice is totally ASMR so a little warning to listen to this when you can relax.

You can get 20% discount off all Udo’s Choice’s incredible products in the UK by clicking this link and using code LAUREN20. I highly recommend using Udo’s Oil and Udo’s Greens daily.

Ep. 73 – RISE WITH MY HUSBAND, DANIEL – Healing Through Love & How to Step Into “The Work”

Fri, 26 Nov 2021 00:21:00 +0000

A special episode to round off the season, if I do say so myself

A question I get asked a lot is, "Was Daniel always conscious and into the work or did he come to it because of you?"

The answer is way more nuanced than that, and my husband and I speak about it in depth in this week's episode - the last of the season and the last of the year.

Because the feminine is in touch with intuition and inner knowing, women often come to inner work and holistic healing before men.

In 95% of people who contact me about natural health options or vaccines, it's the mums, and they say something to the effect of "this doesn't feel right to me and I need information, but my husband thinks I'm nuts".

This is because men in today's world have disconnected so deeply from their Divine Masculine that they no longer have access to intuition, something Daniel has discovered and stepped deeply into.

We wanted to share his journey from mainstream, conditioned thinking and living, to a more holistic and conscious approach to life in all aspects.

In the episode we cover:

- Why he resisted the work for so long

- How hard it was for both of us when we weren't aligned in our thinking

- Why stagnation was a more scary concept to me than anything else in marriage

- What happened when we reached make or break

- How he tackled inner child work and why that was one of the main things that enabled him to see where he needed to make changes

- How this impacts parenthood

- How we create sacred union between us

- How we use what we have learnt to help us through hard times

- Why NO ONE should settle in anything less than beautiful, messy, passionate, crazy love

- Why sometimes, conscious uncoupling really is the only way to step into your rebirth, and shouldn’t always be seen as a bad thing

I can't wait for you all to hear this episode and get to know the incredible man I am fortunate enough to call my life partner.

I’d love to hear your thoughts also! Get in touch over on the Instagram post for this episode to let me know.

This is the last episode of the year so may I take this opportunity to wish you happy holidays. Remember to stay in your truth, remain authentic, and allow the New Year to be yet another opportunity to encourage you into further growth and healing.

GIFT: as a gift for making time for this episode, here is a link to a workbook I've created with exercises to help you and your partner uplevel your relationship https://www.subscribepage.com/uplevel

Ep. 72 – DR LAWRENCE PALEVSKY – Everything You Need to Know About Childhood Immunisations

Fri, 19 Nov 2021 01:52:00 +0000

In episode 61 I interviewed Dr Palevsky about the C*v*d injection, and it has turned out to be the most popular and most downloaded episode of all time!

In 2021 people are thirsty for knowledge and truth, and because so many of my listeners are parents with burning questions about childhood immunisations, I wanted to do an episode with Dr Palevsky (genuinely one of the most well-researched, knowledgeable people I’ve ever come across) dedicated solely to this topic.

In the episode we cover:

Why children get sick
Vaccine ingredients
How vaccines work
Which ones to question
The truth about Polio and Smallpox
Why they can be connected with neurological disorders, autoimmune diseases, infections, allergies and more
The safety of childhood vaccines
And SO much more

It really is a one-stop-shop for everything you could ever need to know about childhood vaccinations, so make sure to have a notebook and pen to hand, because you’ll want to take notes.

Ep.71 – RISE – Sacred Union & Stepping Into Your Divine Feminine & Divine Masculine with Raine Dunn

Fri, 12 Nov 2021 00:38:00 +0000

Conscious relationships.

Ever heard the term “love isn’t always enough”? My mum drummed that into me ever since I was little, and it was great advice. But it took until recently for me to really understand what it means.

I believe I manifested my soul match, and a conscious person, but I didn’t manifest a conscious relationship.

We had to consciously create that through the deep and often hard inner work we’ve done.

From that, we created Sacred Union, or a “conscious” relationship.

My friend Raine Dunn gets this more than anyone I know. She went through a soul-destroying divorce that led to her own understanding of what it meant to be in sacred union, and as a result, manifested that for herself.

We want this to be easier for others.

Which is why we went deep in this week’s episode. And I can tell you it is potentially one of the best episodes I’ve ever recorded.

Here are some of the things we cover:

- What is a “healthy” relationship?

- Why do we choose the wrong relationships?

- How do you find a “conscious man”?

- How do you create sacred union within a relationship?

- How do you step into your Divine Feminine as a woman and Divine Masculine as a man?

- How can we use our past trauma to help us heal and find the right relationship?

Conscious relationships are not easy to come by, create or manifest, but with the right understanding of how to do it, it is totally possible.

You can find Raine on Instagram @rainedunn

Ep. 70 – DR CHRISTIANE NORTHRUP – Take Back Your Goddamn Power

Fri, 05 Nov 2021 08:34:24 +0000

Where to even start. This woman is a force. A fierce, fearless warrior of light who guides so many and has helped countless women understand their bodies and step into their power.

We’re in a time of great disruption. The “normalcy” and convenience of modern life has been disrupted and no one is exempt. So how can we view it through a lens that helps us see this time for what it really is, and how can those of us who are vehemently opposed to tyrannical control, continue with our lives without the frustration, bitterness and fear of what could be?

Dr Northrups tells us just how.

The New York Times bestseller and one of Oprah’s Super Soul 100 tells us how it is. She teaches us how to get through this time, what it is here to teach us, how to navigate it with grace and how we can use it to our benefit.

She also shows us how to live as sovereign women by tuning back in with our innate intuition.

Ep. 67 – RISE – How We Can Harness the Light to Overcome the Darkness with Raine Dunn & Melissa Eliyahoo

Tue, 19 Oct 2021 00:16:00 +0100

When you have the sort of friends who help you make sense of the world, help you navigate your challenges, speak with you on the phone for hours as you talk through how to manage the difficult situation we find ourselves in now, hold space for you to grow and are wise and knowledgeable enough to help facilitate that growth, you just HAVE to make those conversations public.

Raine Dunn (from South Africa) and Melissa Eliyahoo (from Malibu, CA) are two of my closest and most valued friends. They may be on other sides of the world to me, but I don’t miss a week without speaking to them because they help keep me aligned and grounded and together we hash out and make sense of the madness, hold each other accountable for our growth and support one another.

How do you manage your emotions and navigate your life when your views are so disparately opposite to that of the mainstream narrative that is driving everything?

How do you remain in a state of calm and trust when your own truth is that crimes to humanity are being committed in front of our very eyes, and you feel as if the world and all logic and critical thinking are crumbling before you?

How do we manage the frustration?

Is there a reason it’s all happening?

And is there a way to find the light amongst the darkness without falling into toxic positivity?

Raine and Melissa helped me answer those questions on this episode, and I’m so excited for you to listen.

Grab a cuppa, and join 3 girlfriends as they try to make sense of the world, together.

Ep. 66 – CASPAR SZULC – How we Shift the Medical Model from Sick-Care to Healthcare

Fri, 15 Oct 2021 01:15:00 +0100

Caspar Szulc’s story is one we’re really all aspiring to; his parents raised him with an integrative, holistic approach to wellbeing in mind, and he’s the living embodiment of the health we’re all trying to achieve for us or our own children by following this lifestyle. He’s what I hope to see in my own kids in 35 years, something many of us work towards following trauma to our health, because we DIDN’T take the measures to begin with.

As a result of his upbringing and immense knowledge of health optimisation, Caspar co-founded the Innovative Medicine centre in New York, a truly revolutionary clinic that is dedicated to transforming healthcare through an advanced and truly comprehensive form of personalised, integrative medicine.

They tackle every dis-ease imaginable, using everything from IV laser therapy, ozone therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, IV vitamins, psychological and spiritual work, nutrition and so much more, in order to bring their patients to a place of homeostasis.

In this episode we speak about what we are doing wrong with our health in the first place, the best ways to optimise it and bring us into a state of wellness, and how it might be possible to shift the current, outdated and broken medical model from sick-care to health-care – IE disease management to true, long-lasting, root-cause healing and preventative care.

A must-listen episode for anyone remotely interested in being healthy!

Ep. 65 - RISE – How to Find Your Purpose by Aligning Yourself with Your Core Essence

Fri, 08 Oct 2021 00:05:00 +0100

How can I find my purpose? This is a question I get a lot.

The answer is simple.

KNOW YOURSELF.

Knowing oneself was thought to be one of the most important tenets of life by the Ancient Greeks; so much so that “Know Thyself” was actually inscribed on the entrance of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi.

In this episode I offer you the tools to get to know yourself, in order to help you find your purpose.

Ep. 64 – DR DOMINIK NISCHWITZ – The Root of Chronic Illness May be In Your Mouth; Biological Dentistry

Fri, 01 Oct 2021 00:36:00 +0100

This episode is extremely close to my heart. I recorded it only a week after my own biological dentistry treatment – the one that FINALLY tackled the root cause of the trigeminal neuralgia I’d been suffering with for a year and a half.

Dr Dome (as he is known in the wellness circles!) is basically the father of biological dentistry, running a hugely successful clinic in Germany and teaching conventional dentists from all over the world how to practice biological dentistry.

After realising that nearly 70% of chronic illness starts in the mouth – either due to microbiome or previous dentistry – it’s no wonder that Dr Dome and many others in the health optimisation world are trying to get this message out there.

In this episode we covered:

How root canal treatments can be the trigger or root cause of many autoimmune diseases and even cancer
How tooth removal (especially wisdom teeth) can lead to jaw cavitations – something conventional dentistry is yet to understand. These cavitations can lead to health issues and extreme pain conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia
The dangers of mercury amalgam fillings, and how to have them safely removed
How we should be looking after our teeth
The huge role nutrition and health optimisation play in oral hygiene
What is involved in a biological dentistry treatment or procedure

Honestly, we covered so much more, so have a listen to this episode to educate yourself on how to use your mouth to stay healthy, and what to do if you’ve had conventional dentistry that could be the cause of your health concerns.

You can find Dr Dome on Instagram @drdome1 and his book, It’s All in Your Mouth, can be found anywhere you get your books

Ep. 63 – POLLY TOMMEY – What is the Truth About Vaccines & Autism?

Fri, 24 Sep 2021 08:38:58 +0100

Reconditioned is a place for listeners to be exposed to information about health and personal growth, that they might not find elsewhere. Though the subject of vaccines might seem off-topic for those of you who follow my personal growth work, it was still important for me to offer this, because the whole point of the podcast is to bring information that you might not be able to find elsewhere; information that you might be looking for yourself, and information that I believe needs to be heard.

Though I have touched on vaccines on the show, I had never done a whole episode on the subject until Dr Palevsky’s episode (episode 61). However, based on my own vaccine injury that was the catalyst for the juvenile rheumatoid arthritis that shaped my entire life, I felt it only right to dedicate some time to this very important subject.

If for no other reason, I believe my audience are always looking for more information on this subject; information that is often censored and therefore hard to come by, which makes making an informed choice very difficult indeed.

Polly Tommey’s son Billy was severely vaccine injured at 13 months, leading to a decline in his neurological function and a diagnosis of autism, as well as severe gastrointestinal problems.

This all happened around the same time that Dr Andrew Wakefield published his findings surrounding the link between MMR and autism. The study was debunked, but not because his findings weren’t true. There was something much darker at play.

More recently, William Thompson, a top scientist at the CDC, admitted that there had been fraud within the CDC when it came to the truth about the findings on the link between vaccines and autism. He was recorded saying that every time he saw an autistic child he felt he was at fault, and he had to speak up. The utter silence from the pharma-funded mainstream media on what Del Bigtree had called “the biggest news story since Watergate”, prompted Polly, Dr Wakefield and Del himself, to create the film Vaxxed, which looks at what actually happened at the CDC, and what was happening with children who were being vaccine injured.

In this episode we cover all of this, and more, to get to the bottom of why so many people feel so strongly about the questionable safety and efficacy of vaccines.

If you’re a parent, planning on becoming a parent, you are planning on ever having a vaccine yourself in the future, or you are simply interested in educating yourself on subjects that the mainstream media choose not to share, I urge you to listen to this episode, and to watch Vaxxed and Vaxxed 2.

Ep. 62 - DAVINIA TAYLOR - From Addiction to Biohacking

Fri, 17 Sep 2021 00:04:00 +0100

If you're anywhere around my age, you probably remember former Hollyoaks actress Davinia Taylor's name from the gossip columns in the '90s and '00s.

She was known throughout that time as the Primrose Hill party girl who experienced all London's nightlife had to offer and more, alongside the likes of Kate Moss and Sadie Frost.

What she didn’t know back then was why she was so susceptible to alcoholism and why she needed it so much, and, interestingly, why her body was able to process it so efficiently at the time.

A series of traumatic events led Davinia to seek answers, eventually leading her to the world of biohacking and health optimisation, and in this week's episode of Reconditioned, we had such fun talking about:

-The mechanisms of addiction and depression

-How knowing about your genetics and hormones will help you beat addiction

-How to optimise your health

-How to understand your body’s physiology

-What biohacking is

-Davinia’s favourite hacks, health tips, supplements and other products

-Post-natal depression

-Biological dentistry

-Cancer

-And my personal favourite, how to biohack a take-away!

There was so much more in there too.

Davinia really has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to health optimisation and if you’ve ever suffered with depression, anxiety, addiction, ill-health or you’re a parent, you’ll particularly benefit from listening to this episode.

You can find Davinia on Instagram @daviniataylor

Ep. 61 – DR LAWRENCE PALEVSKY – EVERYTHING You Need to Know About the Covid Vaccine

Thu, 26 Aug 2021 19:46:44 +0100

{DISCLAIMER: Dr Palevsky talks about the long-term side effects of the covid injection based on the technology used, and the result of this knowledge could cause anxiety and worry. Though the purpose of this episode is to provide people with the opportunity to make decisions from a place of informed choice, I am also not here to perpetuate more fear. If you have had this injection, please listen to this episode at your own discretion, with the intention of informing yourself. Please use your own healing capabilities to protect your energy instead of allowing fear to consume you.}

Since the rollout of the so-called Covid vaccine (which we refer to as an injection, not a vaccine; you’ll understand why once you listen to the episode), I have been bombarded with messages about what is in it, how it works and why many of us in the health optimisation world believe it to be not only dangerous, but a crime against humanity. When I thought about who to get on the podcast give us the answers to these questions, Dr Lawrence Palevsky was the only person I knew who could do this justice.

Dr Palevsky is simply one of the most knowledgeable people I’ve ever come across when it comes to the subject of vaccines and he didn’t disappoint.

We talk in depth here about how the messenger RNA technology works, about the ingredients (and the lack of information offered about the ingredients by the pharmaceutical companies), how the synthetic spike protein works, what parts of the body it is most likely to affect, what the long-term effects are likely to be, how to avoid it and so much more.

As mentioned above, please use your own discretion when choosing to listen to this episode if you have had this injection. I’m here to give you information that you might not otherwise have access to, and I want you to empower yourself with knowledge, but I also do not want to induce extreme fear. If you’re ready to educate yourself on everything no one else has yet told you about this subject, hit play.

Ep. 57 – JIM FORTIN – How to Master Your Subconscious Mind to Transform Your Life

Fri, 30 Jul 2021 01:01:00 +0100

It’s not often I get nervous to interview someone, but Jim Fortin has indirectly and directly impacted my life in such profound ways, that it was incredibly important for me to make this episode as special as possible. Not only is it because of Jim that I was led to his brother-in-law, the extremely powerful shaman who has changed my life in every way imaginable, and not only is Jim the mentor of my own mentor, which of course filters down to me, but his teachings about how to master the subconscious mind have been ultimately life-altering for me and it was important for me to be able to share this unique and profound knowledge Jim has with my audience. For that reason, I’m so grateful to Jim for agreeing to come on the podcast.

Nothing I write here will do much justice to Jim’s teachings, but essentially, Jim teaches us how to tap into the subconscious mind in ways that no other motivational speaker, self-help book or seminar have ever done. He does this by merging his knowledge as a master NLP practitioner and master hypnotist, with ancient wisdom and lessons learnt following 25 years as a shaman’s apprentice.

There’s a reason Jim is considered the leader in subconscious transformation, and I urge you to grab a notebook and pen, listen carefully to his lessons and listen back once again once you’ve finished!

You can find all Jim’s work at www.jimfortin.com and @iamjimfortin on Instagram.

I've been waiting a long time to be able to release an episode like this. We all need it.

Jeff Witzeman went on a journey of research and discovery when his wife got diagnosed with bladder cancer, and ended up creating the film Cancer Can Be Killed as a result of his shocking findings.

Pharma corruption when it comes to both adult and childhood cancer

The HUGE role emotions and spiritual connection play when it comes to cancer

Ep. 54 – DR SHEFALI TSABARY – Healing Trauma to Reclaim Our Feminine Power

Fri, 09 Jul 2021 01:01:00 +0100

I was truly honoured to have world-renowned psychologist, Dr Shefali, on the podcast today. Her earlier books, The Conscious Parent and The Awakened Family were part of my early education in conscious parenting, but her latest book, A Radical Awakening, really caught my eye as it’s all about empowering women back into their sovereignty and authentic selves, which, as any long-standing listener of Reconditioned will know, is a huge passion of mine and where I focus so much of my work.

I urge not just women, but men also, to listen to this very important episode about how women can start reclaiming their power and moving into a place of high self-worth, which will, of course, then play a part in our children't development, too.

We covered:

How women can reclaim their power

What it means to step into your authenticity

How to manage rock bottoms and why they’re so important

How to shed the mask that we as women put on in order to fit in and conform to societal expectations

Why we as women are so hard on ourselves and how we can start understanding where our value lies

How we raise our daughters to be sovereign and accepting of who they are, and our sons to know how to accept them and honour them as they are

The new book can be found at www.aradicalawakening.com and you can also follow Dr Shefali on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/doctorshefali/

If you’ve read the secret, created the vision boards, you’re repeating your affirmations, and nothing’s happening, you’re going to want to listen to this episode as I take you through the fundamentals of manifestation, the science behind it and teach you the practical steps and my formula for manifestation that you need to implement in order to start manifesting everything you want into your life!

Ep. 52 – PROF BEN THOMSON – Chairman of Planet Organic; Finance, Wellness & The Planet – Merging Them for the Greater Good

Fri, 25 Jun 2021 01:04:00 +0100

It’s not often you think of wellness when you hear about someone who is a financier.

Ben Thomson – who also has an honorary doctorate from Edinburgh University – has been a prominent figure in finance for nearly 4 decades, but his passion lies in understanding where it is most important for us to invest our money: wellness.

Ben is now the chairman of Planet Organic and he is also heavily involved in Montezuma’s Chocolate, Good Hemp and Omnos (the functional testing & health optimisation company whose founder, Thomas Olivier, we heard from in episode 41).

Ben and I spoke today about why he is so passionate about investing in these companies, how we can all play our part in making wellness more accessible, how we can help look after our planet, and why preventative healthcare is the future of healthcare. The work Ben does is very much about helping us see that we have the tools within us to avoid 40-80% of long-term chronic illnesses.

Everyone can benefit from listening to the simple logic behind everything that motivates Ben.

Ep. 51 – LORRAINE CANDY – Consciously Raising Teenagers & Navigating Mid-Life

Fri, 18 Jun 2021 01:12:00 +0100

I loved sitting down with former editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan, Elle and Sunday Times Style, Lorraine Candy, to talk all about consciously raising teenagers ahead of her book release - "Mum, What's Wrong With you? 101 Things Only The Mothers of Teenage Girls Know".

We discussed what is biologically happening with teenagers, how best to approach raising them and why we’ve been doing it all wrong. From there we touched on parenting models and why simply listening to our children is the best thing we can do for them.

We also spoke about navigating mid-life; menopause, changing bodies, erratic emotions and how to navigate a marriage or relationship in that time.

This episode will hold power for so many women, and even if you’re not yet at “mid-life”, the tips ahead of your journey there, will really help.

Lorraine's book, "Mum, What's Wrong With you? 101 Things Only The Mothers of Teenage Girls Know", is out now!

You can find Lorraine on Instagram @lorrainecandy and her podcast, Postcards from Midlife can be found wherever you get your podcasts.

Ep. 49 – RISE – Shifting Your Identity to Reach Your Goals

Fri, 04 Jun 2021 01:00:00 +0100

If you’ve been following the same patterns and habits your whole life and not getting anywhere, despite how much you want things to change, this episode is for you.

In this episode I speak about exactly HOW we shift the identity that keeps the habit or behaviour in place, in order to help you uplevel your life; whether that be in your relationships, work, your own business or your personal behaviours.

Forget all the self-help books teaching you about how to be happy - it’s all in this one shift, and I put it all in one episode!

And because I like to make this information accessible and make the things I speak about tangible and actionable, I’ve created a free resource based on everything I speak about in this episode; a workbook to help you put this to practice in a practical sense.

But what makes him the world-renowned public figure he has become today - and why Gwyneth Paltrow herself counts him as her spiritual teacher - is his ability to make ancient wisdom accessible, and, I believe, his unabashed and unapologetic way of making us listen to the wisdom we have become deafened to in recent times.

I first interviewed Shaman Durek towards the end of 2020, but this time we really went deep down the rabbit hole of possibilities; the things that *might* be that humans can’t possibly know. From the matrix and sorcery, to aliens. If you’re open to the idea that humans can’t possibly know it all and that there might be other beings existing somewhere in this or other realms, this episode will really hold power for you.

Through this, Shaman Durek also explained just why and how we have come to this point in darkness that we are experiencing now, the “Blackout”, as he describes it, and how we can come through it.

Shaman Durek also spoke candidly about his very high-profile relationship with Princess Martha Louise of Norway and we discussed how shamanic life fits in with royal life.

It’s a real corker of a season finale and I’d highly recommend listening until the end!

You can follow Shaman Durek on Instagram at @shamandurek, his website and his book.

Topics discussed: shamanism, spirituality, spiritual awakening, relationships, universe, entrepreneurship, personal growth, personal development, matrix

Ep. 47 – DR TOMMY JOHN – Sovereignty, Health Freedom & What It Really Takes to Beat A Pandemic

Fri, 21 May 2021 00:56:00 +0100

If you’re not one of the 100k people following Dr Tommy John on Instagram, you need to get on it. A former professional athlete, a published author and chiropractic doctor running the Dr. Tommy John Performance and Healing Center in San Diego, his passion is to show people what it means to be truly sovereign and free within their bodies; to break down the constructs keeping us sick and to teach his proven "Way to Live Utilizing the 8 Essentials to Performance and Healing," a system for harnessing action steps to adapt and thrive in this lifetime.

There’s not much we didn’t go into in this episode in terms of health freedom, body autonomy, pandemic theories, the true reason for ill health, why we are living in a state of perpetual fear and dis-ease and about his new venture, Health Freedom for Humanity alongside health freedom advocate, Alec Zeck.

DISCLAIMER / TRIGGER WARNING: This may be triggering to people who have lost anyone due to the pandemic. We explore many ideas surrounding this that are not commonplace or mainstream. However, if you’re here to be open and learn new ways of thinking that will enhance your health and growth, you’ll find this very expansive.

You can find Dr Tommy on Instagram @nakedtj_ (his account keeps getting deleted due to censorship so this is the latest one at the time of releasing this ep) and his own podcast The Dr Tommy John Podcast, and Health Freedom for Humanity

Ep. 46 - DR ROSEANN CAPANNA-HODGE - Managing Anxiety & Mental Health in Children

Fri, 14 May 2021 01:00:00 +0100

I loved every second of recording this incredibly powerful and eye-opening episode with award-winning children’s mental health expert, Dr Roseann Capanna-Hodge .

If your child is struggling with their mental health and you as a parent aren’t sure of the best way to support them, this episode will hold SO much power for you.

In this episode we covered:

Why children are experiencing so much more anxiety these days
What the difference is between stress and anxiety
How to manage anxiety in children
How lifestyle and wellbeing impact our kids’ mental health
Understanding the gut and gene mutations when it comes to this topic
How screen-time and devices play a role and how to realistically manage it
The number one thing we can do to ensure we are protecting our children’s mental health (this one will shock you!)

It was a total joy to speak to Dr Roseann about this very important topic (she also brought so much of that warm Italian-American humour and fun to the show!) and I know any parent or caregiver will benefit from the content as profoundly as I did.

Perhaps this isn't for you but you have a friend whose child is suffering. Please share this with them.

These are not easy times for our children to live in, but we, as parents, can step up in many different ways to help them through it.

So much of my coaching work focuses on going back through inner child to uncover limiting beliefs unconsciously carried through our lives. If we, as parents, can be more conscious of our children's needs, I'll hopefully be out of a job by the time our kids are grown up! In a weird way, that's the dream!

Ep. 45 - MANI NORLAND - How and Why Homeopathy Works

Fri, 07 May 2021 01:28:00 +0100

Mani Norland is the Principal of the School of Homeopathy. He himself trained at the school and homeopathy was a huge part of his upbringing. Mani is also instrumental in making homeopathy accessible and is the vice chair of 4Homeopathy, as well as being involved in the Events Panel for the Society of Homeopaths and the Homeopathic Research Institute.

In this episode we speak all about the history of homeopathy, exactly how it works and the sort of ailments it can help – from teething and fevers to autoimmune diseases and malaria.

We discuss exactly why there has been opposition to homeopathy but how, ultimately, its popularity keeps increasing as people are becoming more aware of the benefits of empowering themselves to take responsibility for their wellbeing.

Topics mentioned: homeopathy, holistic healing, informed choice, autoimmune conditions, hayfever, babies, children, conscious parenting, allergies, holistic health, natural healing

Ep. 44 – JON GORDON – The Power of Positive Thought

Fri, 30 Apr 2021 01:01:00 +0100

Jon Gordon - best-selling author of The Energy Bus, The Coffee Bean, The Power of Positive Leadership, Training Camp and so many others - has inspired people worldwide. His simple, actionable tools to help move us into a state of positivity have impacted many people’s lives, and I had him on the show today to speak all about the practical ways we can implement positivity into our own lives.

In the episode, Jon offers irresistible tidbits and analogies that make implementing this work a reality for anyone: busy young dads, exhausted young mums, stressed-out entrepreneurs and successful CEOs.

His humour, wit and charm carried the episode and I know you’ll get so much out of this, whoever you are, and whichever aspect of your life you’re looking for guidance on.

Ep. 43 – RISE – Why Do We Stay In Unhealthy & Unhappy Relationships?

Fri, 23 Apr 2021 00:52:00 +0100

RISE is a series within the Reconditioned podcast where there’s no guest, just me, offering little tidbits of wisdom, knowledge and emotional, psychological and spiritual guidance on a wide range of topics that I see come up with my clients the most.

In this week’s episode, I speak about unhappy and unhealthy relationships. I take a deep dive into the REAL reason behind why we stay, and offer the transformative tools you need to move forward.

It’s not easy listening. It takes no comfort zone boundaries into consideration. But I’m not here to make you comfortable; I’m here to help you heal.

If you can push past that discomfort, this episode may well be the first step in your journey towards liberation. And if you know someone who you think could benefit from listening, please share it with them

Ep. 42 – DANIELLE BEINSTEIN – Spiritual & Psychological Astrology

Fri, 16 Apr 2021 00:16:00 +0100

We all know our sun sign, but what does our moon sign represent?

How can we use the moon to more effortlessly navigate our lives?

How can we use the zodiac to understand our core self better?

What does it mean when a planet is in retrograde?

What is a natal chart?

How can we use astrology to help us manifest more easily?

These are just a few of the questions that New York-based psychological astrologer, Dani Beinstein, talks us through in this hugely eye-opening and expansive episode of Reconditioned.

So many of us are fascinated with the idea of astrology and how our natal chart plays a part in our decisions and behaviours and outcomes, but very few of us have a deep understanding of how to use it to enhance our lives and that’s exactly why I wanted to speak to Dani. Not only is she an expert in this field but she is also a true intuitive who is living proof of what it means to step into your purpose and authenticity.

I absolutely loved every second of recording this and can’t wait for you all to listen!

Ep. 41 – THOMAS OLIVIER – Understanding Epigenetics; Your Genes ARE NOT Your Destiny

Fri, 09 Apr 2021 01:37:00 +0100

I was SO excited today to sit down with Thomas Olivier, a nutrigenomic practitioner who was the first coach in the UK to offer fitness and nutrition plans based on individual DNA make-up, and CEO of Omnos.

Omnos is an AI health optimisation platform that analyses one's genome combined with lifestyle and functional medicine tests to provide a scientifically validated dashboard of one’s health with personalised and actionable recommendations.

The Omnos platform provides you with invaluable insights into particular areas of wellness, including nutrition, health, performance, mind and hormones. By analysing your genetic data they create a prioritised set of goals just for you so you can improve your health and catch any small issues before they become big ones and today, we spoke about exactly how that is possible.

We covered MTHFR, BRCA and other well-known gene mutations, as well as learning how it is truly possible to avoid the associated illnesses with the right approach.

Thomas has kindly offered listeners of Reconditioned a 10% discount off all tests by going to www.omnos.me and using code LAUREN10.

Ep. 40 – SEED SISTAS Pt 2 – Kitchen Witchery with Herbalism

Fri, 02 Apr 2021 01:00:00 +0100

In the second part of our series on herbalism, I speak with the other half of the Seed Sistas – Karen Lawton, all about kitchen witchery.

I honestly LOVED every minute of recording this episode. Karen and I delved into the subjects of healing with food; how preventative healthcare should be the foremost mode of healthcare and how it begins in the kitchen; which herbs we can grow at home and how; about how to get started with foraging; about how food and herbs support immune and digestive function; and how our ancestors and our ancestral line play a vital role in what we eat, how we eat, and how our bodies respond to food.

If you’re in any way interested in a holistic approach to living, eating and parenting, and have even a vague interest in herbalism, herbs and plants, this episode will offer so much value for you.

Ep. 39 – SEED SISTAS Pt 1 – Sensory Herbalism

Thu, 25 Mar 2021 23:07:00 +0000

I had the pleasure today of speaking with Fiona – one half of the Seed Sistas. The Seed Sistas are herbalists with a special love and interest in the so-called witching herbs of old, the poisons or power plants!

Karen and Fiona run a social enterprise called Sensory Solutions Herbal Evolution to try and encourage people to further their knowledge on herbs by getting involved with planting and foraging. They combine their clinical experience with ritual, art and creativity to teach herbal medicine in a unique, inspiring and accessible style, led by the plants themselves.

In this episode we speak all about how to use our senses to know which herbs are right and wrong for us, as well as learning about which herbs can help certain ailments, from anxiety and sleep to libido and happiness.

Next week we’ll be speaking to Karen about Kitchen Witchery!

On this week’s episode of Reconditioned, I had the pleasure of speaking with Nadine Artemis - world-renowned natural beauty expert and aromacologist, and founder of the award-winning skincare brand, Living libations. We spoke all about how we can use what nature has already given us to boost our health AND our beauty. We delve into everything from the importance of sun exposure, to anti-ageing, to breast health, protecting the microbiome, and how the over-use of anti-bacterial products is damaging our health.

Ep. 35 - LAUREN CADILLAC - Intuitive Eating & Body Acceptance

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 08:56:40 +0000

I was so excited to speak to Lauren Cadillac, otherwise known as Feel Good Dietician – a Manhattan-based registered dietician, all about the life-changing medium of Intuitive Eating.

Lauren runs her own virtual private practice helping clients to ditch the dieting cycle and heal their relationship with food using the intuitive eating framework, and we covered that framework here and spoke about everything from why we have lost touch of our ability to intuitively know what our bodies need, to how we can learn to love our bodies and stop yo-yo dieting, to answering the question of: if I start intuitive eating, will I just gain loads of weight?

If you’ve spent your life battling with your body, yo-yo dieting and hating every minute, this episode will be just the tonic you need!

The 10 principles of intuitive eating that we discuss in the episode can be found here: https://www.intuitiveeating.org/10-principles-of-intuitive-eating/

Ep. 34 - ZITA WEST - A Holistic Approach to Fertility

Mon, 22 Feb 2021 05:00:00 +0000

This week’s episode is very close to my heart as I spoke with Zita West, whose fertility clinic is renowned for its holistic approach. Not only does the Zita West Clinic help women who previously couldn’t conceive, to conceive through a more natural approach, but they also offer IVF and other fertility treatments, using a holistic approach to gain the best outcome.

My daughter Vida is a result of Zita’s clinic and their approach, and so this episode was very important to me.

Ep. 32 - JAY SHETTY - The Real Meaning of Spirituality, Season 3 Finale Special

Mon, 14 Dec 2020 05:00:00 +0000

I was honoured to be joined in this season 3 finale special, by my friend, spiritual guide and motivational speaker, Jay Shetty. Jay and I met through our spiritual connections many years ago and in that time he has not only been a friend, but also a mentor of sorts, like he is for so many others. The lessons I have learnt from him (and his equally insightful wife Radhi) have been humbling and life-defining.

So many people know Jay’s work and have listened to him speaking about his life as a monk, about his lifestyle and beliefs and about the work he does. So in order to make this episode as unique and expansive as possible, I set the intention to really get to know Jay as the person – not the speaker / author / teacher – by delving into some of the subjects he rarely speaks about in interviews. The result was a rare candid discussion filled with honesty, personal insights, laughter and of course ancient wisdom for the modern day, in a way that you’ve never heard Jay before.

To preface: the intro is a little long as I had some exciting news to share that I'd love you all to hear!

Topics: spirituality, purpose, comparison, judgement, love, happiness, life in LA, becoming successful, making it in business

You can find Jay on Instagram @jayshetty

You can also head over to www.jayshetty.me and https://jayshettycoaching.com/ as well as his Jay Shetty Genius membership program https://jayshettygenius.com/. You can also listen to On Purpose here

Ep. 30 – OLIVIA WAYNE – The Conscious Parenting vs Career Passion Juggle

Mon, 30 Nov 2020 05:00:00 +0000

I was able to sit down IN PERSON (YAY!) (in between lockdown 1.0 and 2.0!) with my friend, TV presenter and conscious mama of two, Olivia Wayne. I wanted to have Olivia on the show because she and I share the same constant juggle, something we often talk (read: moan) about when we’re together: navigating our choice to consciously parent our children and manage a holistic way of living, alongside a deep passion and ambition for our careers.

As women, this is no easy feat, as our choices in this holistic way of life leave little time for much else. So Olivia and I enjoyed unpacking the challenges, the best ways to manage it, and what we can do to let go and surrender.

For any mums out there feeling the weight of the juggle, Olivia offers tidbits of wisdom, guidance and humour and I would encourage you to put the kettle on, make yourself a cup of tea, and veg out in something comfortable to feel like you’re very much in the room with two tired mums having a natter.

Ep. 29 – SARA COSENDAI – Women’s Health Expert on Mother Nurture: Pregnancy, Motherhood & Beyond

Mon, 23 Nov 2020 01:00:00 +0000

This week I speak to one of the UK’s top holistic female health experts, Sara Cosendai. Sara is a naturopathic nutritionist, clinical aromatherapist, doula, prenatal yoga teacher and Kundalini yoga teacher. What she does is truly magical, because, in blending all her qualifications and passions, she has found a way to support women during the most transformational time in their lives, to ensure a smooth trip from pre-conception right through to motherhood and beyond.

Sara was fortunate enough to grow up surrounded by the innovators of the natural birth movement in 1980s London and in this episode we speak about how her formative years shaped her view of childbirth and subsequently led to the passions she still holds today.

Sara talks us through why mothers often struggle in both the lead up to birth, and afterwards, and offers advice on how to struggle less at this time and enjoy those early months / years. She gives tips on how to stay healthy during this integral time and talks us through her incredible model of motherhood coaching, and why it is so needed now more than ever.

She has kindly included a link for Expectful, a guided meditation app for fertility, pregnancy and motherhood which you can access here: www.expectful.com/mymama

Ep. 28 – AISHA CARRINGTON – When Spirituality & Entrepreneurship Merge

Mon, 16 Nov 2020 07:42:48 +0000

What happens when an entrepreneur is aligned and in their worth? Magical things! I open this topic up today with Aisha Carrington, a spiritual coach and healer, who has helped me in my own healing journey. Aisha is working to make wellness a more diverse and inclusive place, and to help us all on our paths back to self-love.

It has truly been one of the most magical episodes to record because of all the topics we touched on and what they brought up for us both. What does spirituality actually mean? How can we access it if we’re new to it? How can we use spirituality to help us through depression? How can we use our gifts to call in the sort of financial abundance we know we deserve while helping people? And how do we step into a place of high self-worth in order to allow that money to flow to us as a positive exchange of energy? We talk through all this and more in a truly expansive episode that will offer you so many take-aways and so much to think about; it’s one of those that I’d recommend listening to more than once!

You can find Aisha on aishacarrington.com and https://getlitretreat.com/ and also over on Instagram at @aishacarrington_

Ep. 27 – LEO COSENDAI, Making Meditation Accessible Through Sound Healing

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 06:47:52 +0000

Ever heard of ASMR – the tingling sensation you get when you listen to someone whose voice is simply hypnotic? Thats exactly what you will experience listening to today’s guest, Leo Cosendai. Not only is he a sound healing facilitator, but the sound of his own voice alone might just alter your state of consciousness; it was a struggle for me to stay coherent during the interview! (You’re welcome :) )

Aside from facilitating sound baths internationally, Leo is also an author, teacher and the founder of the number 1 sound meditation app, Third Ear, which is genuinely one of the most beautiful meditation apps. His work in making gong baths accessible worldwide has gained him recognition as a leading figure in the wellness movement.

We spoke today about what actually happens in a sound bath and why sound healing is making meditation so much more accessible. Even more exciting than that, Leo offered a sound bath from his App at the end of this episode so make sure you listen to the end!

You can find Leo on Instagram @leo.cosendai, his website www.leocosendai.com and his app, Third Ear, can be found in the Apple app store.

Ep. 26 – KARINA GRANT, Renowned Energy Healing Practitioner on Energy Healing for Self-Growth

Mon, 02 Nov 2020 06:28:18 +0000

Today’s guest was a person I’m so grateful to have in my life; a true healer, authentic spiritualist, genuine light-worker – all of those in the most pure sense of the word, without even trying. She is one of a kind and she is Karina Grant.

Karina has been working as an energy healing practitioner for over 2 decades, performing, teaching and lecturing on modalities such as Quantum Touch, Reiki, Bio Energy and Permissioning and Transformation, as well as facilitating many successful mindfulness workshops.

Her company, HI CHI Integrated Health Institute, offers powerful resources to facilitate balance and wellness and now has its own meditation app, and in this episode we talk about healing modalities, what spirituality means to her, our own abilities to heal, how to navigate tough times and meditation.

I cannot scream from the rooftops enough how Karina has changed my life, and I know she will yours, too. She’s too powerful not to!

Ep. 25 – DR DAVID CLARKE, A MindBody Approach to Curing Chronic Pain (inc. Trigeminal Neuralgia)

Mon, 26 Oct 2020 06:12:31 +0000

{Trigger warning: sexual abuse}

Dr David Clarke is president of the Psychophysiologic Disorders Association. He is also Assistant Director at the Center for Ethics and Clinical Assistant Professor of Gastroenterology Emeritus both at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland, Oregon, USA, among many other impressive accomplishments, and I was fortunate enough to spend over an hour with him discussing psychophysiologic disorders.

In the 1970s, Dr John Sarno discovered that many of his back pain patients’ symptoms would disappear as soon as they acknowledged repressed emotions, and he labelled the disorder TMS (tension myositis syndrome). Countless people in severe chronic pain of all sorts benefited from his work. his theories and his books. Dr Clarke has updated those fundamental theories, using the latest research, and has renamed the condition Psychophysiologic Disorder, also known as MindBody Disorder or Stress Illness.

In this episode we talk about how repressed, unresolved or unexplored emotions can trigger a physical reaction in the body, often pain, in the form of anything from back pain, migraines and nerve issues, to gastrointestinal issues.

To date he has worked with over 7000 patients with whom he has had success with these theories, and you can hear all about it in this hugely informative, eye-opening and encouraging episode that will give hope to anyone suffering from chronic pain, even if it’s been years and you can’t imagine life without it. There is light at the end of the tunnel for chronic pain sufferers and hopefully by listening to Dr Clarke, you will be guided towards it.

You can find Dr Clarke over at PPDA and Stress Illness.

Ep. 24 – ALEX CANTONE, Using Human Design to Understand & Communicate with Our Children Effectively

Mon, 19 Oct 2020 07:07:39 +0100

We all have ideas about the way we want to parent our children, but then they are born, each with their own unique personalities, and all our ideas get thrown out the window. But what if we could gain a deeper insight into each of our children’s individual makeups in order to adapt our parenting style to their specific needs?

That is exactly what Alex Cantone offers. Alex is a Human Design reader, but specifically tailors her business to reading children’s charts to help parents navigate their parenting journeys. If this is the first time you're hearing about Human Design, it's about to change your life! It has totally changed mine. Human Design is a concept that combines astrology, Kabbalah, the chakras, I Ching and genetics, to provide us with a blueprint for each individual person’s ‘design’ in order to give us the tools to live by our design; IE to be authentically ourselves.

In the episode Alex read my chart against my children’s, to offer me a deeper understanding into how to be able to support them based on their own needs and it was truly eye-opening. There is no greater gift than feeling as if you fully understand your child and their needs, and can therefore tailor the way you parent them based on that. I’m so excited to put this into practice and hope you will find it as fascinating as I did!

Alex kindly offered listeners of Reconditioned a discount to get a chart reading. Enter RECONDITIONED10 at www.alexcantone.com and use the discount code.

Ep. 22 – KAREN HURD, Nutritionist & Biochemist on How to Heal from Any Condition with Food

Sun, 04 Oct 2020 17:19:19 +0100

Today’s episode is with nutritionist and biochemist, Karen Hurd. After her 18-month-old daughter’s tragic poisoning, and her subsequent quest to heal her daughter, Karen came up with a method of detoxing that, simplistic as it is at its core, no one had yet thought of. Since then she has been asked to speak and teach all over the world, and she has a database of over 50,000 people who have had success from her protocols. Karen’s philosophy in approaching health is that “food has the power to kill; food has the power to heal. It’s your choice.”

In this episode we talk about the essence of lasting health, preventative medicine and nutrition. Karen’s knowledge of nutrition and the human body is astounding and she takes us through how the human body processes toxins, how disease occurs and how to remedy it.

It gets a bit science-y because of Karen’s deep understanding of these subjects, and the episode is fairly long but if you can make time, I promise you will benefit from the information!

We touch on Karen’s online courses that treat everything from autoimmune and inflammatory conditions to fertility issues, Crohn’s, thyroid problems, ADD and even cancer.

Ep. 21 – LAUREN VAKNINE, A Journey From Disability to Remission - My Story

Sun, 04 Oct 2020 17:14:25 +0100

Welcome back! Reconditioned with Lauren Vaknine was previously Healthy Happy Home with Lauren Vaknine and Tilly Wood. After 2 seasons, we decided that we could use our distinct skillsets and passions more effectively by going solo and I'm feeling very excited about really stepping into my true purpose with this podcast now, and I really think you'll all love what I have in store!

I though it was important to do an episode that explains my story, why keeping this podcast going and starting up again as Reconditioned was important for me, and why I do what I do. So here I take you back through my journey – from a 23-month-old diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, to a teenager rebelling against the world that gave me this illness, leading to a subsequent eating disorder, drugs and abuse, to ending up totally wheelchair-bound, and finally reaching my decade-long journey of intensive self-study to reach long-term remission at the age of 29.

Now a 36-year-old mother of 2, I spend my time helping others achieve their own health and happiness goals, through my writing, speaking and coaching.

It’s been a journey and a half and I want to share it with you so that you can get a full understanding of why I do what I do; why I write and speak about health and wellbeing and why I started this podcast. I hope you enjoy hearing my story and I’d love to hear your comments!

Ep. 20 – Why Protecting Our Microbiome Is Integral to the Survival of the Human Race with Microbirth Documentary Film Maker, Toni Harman

Mon, 29 Jun 2020 10:04:27 +0100

In this episode, we talk with the creator of the award-winning and game-changing documentary, Microbirth, about Lauren’s favourite subject – microbiome! We learn how and why moving away from our natural processes, we are destroying our microbiome. Increased rates in caesarean sections, lower breastfeeding rates, a steady increase in birth interventions and no skin-on-skin post-birth are all contributing factors in preventing the baby from accessing the mother’s essential microbiome – the bacteria that feeds the immune system in a process called seed and feed, a process that ensures the safe development of the child’s immune system. Overuse of antibiotics and antibacterial products is also contributing to the destruction of our collective microbiome, leaving us at risk of pandemics, something predicted in this film in 2014, which we have now seen unfurl in the form of Covid-19.

The film itself is life-changing and here we discuss how we are potentially sacrificing the very continuation of the human race with our modern ways, and how we can stop this and make changes to ensure our survival moving forward.

A hugely important episode that we urge you all to listen to and hopefully learn from.

Ep. 18 – Arvigo Maya Abdominal Therapy and Sexual Education & Empowerment with Medical Herbalist Victoria Kearns

Mon, 15 Jun 2020 20:38:55 +0100

Women and men alike will love this episode and find it SO expansive. Victoria is a Medical Herbalist and Arvigo Maya Abdominal Therapist, working with clients on issues that specifically affect the abdominal and pelvic organs and has a passion in sexual health and empowerment. Inspired by her clients, Victoria is currently training to become a Psychosexual & Relationship Therapist in order to further support people with the connection between their mind and their body.

In the show we speak about the beauty of healing through Arvigo Maya Abdominal Therapy and about herbalism training with shamans in the Amazon rainforest, as well as why herbalism is such a beautiful & integrative healing modality. Vaginal steams were a big topic, and Victoria cleared up any misconceptions, telling us why they’re so great (which we also know from experience!). We open up the discussion around sexual health, reclaiming our sexual power, sexual identity and how we can get back to a place of sexual confidence through Victoria’s treatments, which combine both ancient and contemporary techniques for best results.

Ep. 17 – Understanding Infant Mental Health with Crystal Miles, IAIM Baby Massage, 3 Step Rewind Therapist & Birth Facilitator

Sun, 07 Jun 2020 11:13:33 +0100

In honour of Infant Mental Health Awareness Week 2020, we interview Crystal Miles. Crystal originally trained as a Nutritional Therapist specialising in preconception and fertility health. After giving birth to her first child in 2010, she followed a further interest in all things birth and baby. A self-confessed course junkie, Crystal went on to train in Hypnobirthing, Lactation, Baby Massage and Baby Yoga, 3 Step Rewind, as a Doula and she is currently studying child psychology. Crystal now trains student Instructors on behalf of the International Association of Infant Massage and holds a special interest in attachment theory and Infant Mental Health.

In this episode we talk all things infant mental health, from attachment theory, slings and breastfeeding, to whether Cry It Out really is as detrimental to infant health as some say. We talk about how to manage challenging moments with our children and ways to heal birth trauma. It really was an episode that encompassed anything and everything babies and children and will be particularly of interest to parents or those wanting to become parents. Grandparents may also find listening to this insightful.

Ep. 16 - Rewilding & Down-regulating with Natural Life-Stylist, Tony Riddle

Sun, 31 May 2020 16:52:10 +0100

We loved recording this episode with the man who ran barefoot from Land’s End to John O Groats, the Natural Life-stylist himself, Tony Riddle. After twenty years of studying the modern condition and working on ways to free us from its constraints to achieve total wellness, Tony devised his Natural life-style philosophy as a way to recharge, reboot and re-educate on the importance of re-aligning ourselves with Nature for emotional, spiritual and physical health.

We began the episode with Tony taking us through some essential and simple breathwork that can be done daily.

The subjects that Tony teaches cover such a broad expanse of topics that we were worried about how to fit it all in! We cover the importance of down-regulating, natural sleep patterns, re-wilding, being out in nature, conscious parenting, intentional living, detoxifying and re-balancing the home and the benefits of ice baths!

Ep. 14 – Why Is Breastfeeding So Important? With Kathryn Stagg IBCLC

Sun, 17 May 2020 13:16:14 +0100

The UK remains one of the countries with the lowest breastfeeding rates in the world. As the previous generation began to acquiesce to the new accepted medicalised paradigm when it came to raising children, this did, unfortunately, filter down into following generations, with women choosing to breastfeed less and less. However, we are now starting to see an increase in breastfeeding again, perhaps because of the rise in the wellbeing movement alongside the access we now have to information highlighting the importance of breastfeeding for the long-term physical and emotional health of both mother and baby.

It’s a contentious subject, but one that is so important to address. If most women aren’t being made aware of the life-changing benefits of breastfeeding, perhaps they’ll make their choices based on that. As always with Healthy Happy Home, our intention is to bring you information that enables you to make decisions from a place of informed choice.

In this episode we speak to Kathryn Stagg IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant). Alongside her breastfeeding support, Kathryn also offers holistic sleep support. We touch on every facet of breastfeeding, from why some mums choose not to, what problems we could encounter as new mums, how to avoid and prevent some issues, how to overcome others, what situation means a women really can’t breastfeed, the science behind what breastfeeding does for the baby and the mother, the ingredients in breastmilk and the difference between breast milk and formula. We also spoke about feeding twins and triplets, as Kathryn supports many women feeding multiples, through her Facebook group and charity, Breastfeeding Twins and Triplets UK.

For any expectant mothers listening, this episode will help you understand the nuances behind this much-debated subject, and will hopefully help you to make a decision you are happy with.

Ep. 13 – A Natural Approach To Breast Cancer Prevention & Navigating Menopause Without Drugs with Dr Nyjon Eccles, The Natural Doctor

Sun, 10 May 2020 18:25:03 +0100

We were honoured to have Dr Nyjon Eccles on the show today. Following his double doctorates (Medicine and Pharmacology) Dr. Eccles has worked as a general and natural medicine physician with special interest in supportive nutritional treatments that promote well-being, recovery and anti-ageing. He is also one of UK’s leading experts in bio-identical hormones.

As the medical Director of The Natural Doctor in Harley Street, London, he has become one of Europe’s leading clinicians involved in Breast Thermography as a non-evasive tool for early detection of breast cancer and for this purpose has developed ThermoCheck®, a computer-assisted Breast Thermography system. He is listed in the “Who’s Who” in the World for outstanding achievement in his field.

In this episode Dr Eccles speaks to us about the importance of a proactive approach to breast cancer prevention, by learning what our bodies need in order to keep our breasts healthy. He talks us through his innovative ThermoCheck breast thermography screening, that can detect breast cancer cells 6-10 years before a mammogram would be able to, without any of the myriad risks associated with mammography.

Dr Eccles also talks us through his bio-identical hormone treatment – the natural version of HRT. With millions of women suffering not just because of menopause symptoms but more so because of the hormone replacement treatment they are offered (whose associated risks include breast cancer), it is imperative that an alternative option is available.

This discussion opens up so many burning questions we all have surrounding female health, and Dr Eccles and his team were kind enough to offer listeners of Healthy Happy Home a 15% discount, using the code HHH0705.

Some things we spoke about that might be useful:

Ep. 11 - A Root Cause, Individualised Approach to Healthcare, with Functional Medicine Practitioner, Debbie Lewis

Mon, 20 Apr 2020 13:46:21 +0100

This episode was recorded just before the Covid-19 lockdown began, as the pandemic was starting to become bigger news. We released the previous 2 episodes of the season before this one, even though it was recorded before, as they were recorded during lockdown and we wanted things to be very relevant for our listeners during life in the midst of this new normal.

However, we are so excited about this episode as it really sums up one large facet of what Healthy Happy Home is all about – a root cause, individualised approach to healthcare, which of course can be applied to life during a pandemic to help our bodies cope but – and perhaps even more importantly – during regular life, as this is what an integrative approach to healthcare is; boosting immune system year round to ensure optimum health.

We speak to Debbie Lewis, Lauren’s personal functional medicine doctor, to get a deeper understanding of what a functional approach to healthcare really means, and how we can all incorporate the basics into our lives to be able to drastically improve health and reduce likelihood of chronic disease.

Debbie is a member of the Institute of Functional Medicine and is a Registered Nutritional Therapist with The British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT). She runs private clinics in London and Hereford and has a particular interest in women and children’s health.

Debbie is also a qualified Social Worker, Natural Family Planning Teacher, Auricular Acupuncturist, Life Coach and NLP Practitioner. She is a visiting lecturer in Functional Medicine and complex case analysis on the Nutritional Therapy MSc at the University of Worcester, a clinical practice assessor and the regional British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine supervisor. Basically, if you are unwell, she’s the person you want to see for a complete holistic and integrative approach!

As we recorded this just before the UK went into lockdown, we touch on Covid-19, but also tried to make the episode relevant for when the pandemic hopefully passes, and we can all focus on restoring our health.

Ep. 10 – Gentle Birth Method & Informed Choice in Childbirth with Childbirth Pioneer Dr Gowri Motha,

Sun, 12 Apr 2020 19:34:00 +0100

We recorded this episode during the third week of enforced lockdown during the Covid-19 crisis. A lot of fear and anxiety are circulating our atmosphere right now, and we believe that life-changing decisions should never be made from a place of darkness, so, though we had started recording this season a while ago, we have decided to rejig things a bit to make the topics more relevant and record right in the midst of the crisis, in the hope of offering practical solutions, perhaps ease some anxieties, and to encourage a sense of equilibrium amidst the chaos.

We have chosen topics which we feel people may need guidance on right now, with guests who are experts in their fields, but the topics we’ve chosen will also be relevant for once this is all over, in case you’re listening to this once life has resumed.

Of course all this means that we’re recording remotely, so please excuse the odd technical glitch as we figure out what the hell we’re doing! Either way, we hope we can bring you some peace of mind, or, at the very least, an escape from our current reality.

Today’s guest was Dr Gowri Motha, London-based childbirth pioneer and founder of the Gentle Birthing Method (and author of a book of the same name). Dr Motha was the doctor who introduced water births to the NHS and documented the first UK water birth in the 1980s. Her programmes of classes, key treatments, and dietary guidelines during pregnancy all the way to birth are world-renowned and here we speak to her about how to navigate informed choice and plans for peaceful births during a global pandemic that is making that more difficult, how the mind is the biggest factor in childbirth, and what mothers can do to ensure a peaceful birth, no matter what situation they are in, and why that is important.

If you are pregnant now, this will be especially helpful for you, but even if you are listening to this once the pandemic is over, all the tips, suggestions and tools that Dr Motha offers will help to improve your birth outcome.

You can find Dr Motha at www.gentlebirthmethod.com and her Instagram @gentlebirthmethod.

Ep. 9 – How to Find Balance & Peace Amidst A Global Crisis with Mexican Shaman & Healer Chloe Garcia Ponce

Sun, 05 Apr 2020 20:44:42 +0100

As we record this, we are in the very midst of the Covid-19 crisis. Here in the UK we are on week 2 of enforced lockdown and while the mainstream media feed us nothing but fear, we’re left wondering if any of the myriad conspiracy theories are true, if the mainstream media have any of it right, or if we really are as much in the dark as we feel we are. What we do know is that people are witnessing a lot of suffering – both physical and emotional, and though many of us are finding the light beyond the shadow and the life-changing positives that are coming out of this, some people are still shrouded by a lot of tragedy and some people are feeling very lost, anxious and vulnerable.

We began recording season 2 before this all started, and based on the energy at the time, we decided to put the podcast on hold. We were worried about not being able to continue recording as a duo, or meet our guests in person, and felt that releasing episodes that had been pre-recorded and weren’t currently relevant might be inappropriate.

But then we realised that that was crazy! More than ever, people are seeking a connection to wellness – in all aspects of the word – as we navigate these testing times, and that’s exactly what we started this podcast for; to bring information about wellness to the forefront and make it more accessible. So we will be recording this season from our own homes, remotely, and our guests will be joining us in the same way. It won’t be perfect, there may be some glitches along the way, but we felt very strongly about bringing you current, relevant, pragmatic and uplifting information to help ease us through this challenging time.

There was one, very special person who came to mind when we thought about how we could possibly kick off a season in such circumstance. More so than medical doctors or even holistic health practitioners, we feel that people are in real need of spiritual and emotional guidance.

To that end, we were truly honoured to have spoken to Chloe Garcia Ponce, a Mexican healer, or Curandera, medicine woman, or perhaps shaman, with gifts too complex and special for us to be able to befittingly articulate here and do her justice, so do listen on to hear how she guides us in how to help our children through this time, why fear will harm us, how we can support those grieving, and how we need to now look to the plant kingdom for guidance. It is a truly illuminative and expansive episode right in the height of such profound change and anyone listening will surely benefit from Chloe’s teachings.

You can find Chloe at http://nomadicsonglines.com/ and her Instagram @nomadicsonglines.

What are we into:

Chloe: getting back into the kitchen, making food, tinctures and medicines again

Lauren: learning the names of plants and trees, having more plants at home

Tilly: playing board games and card games at home

Ep 7. Conscious Menstruality with Authors of Wild Power, Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer

Mon, 10 Feb 2020 09:33:18 +0000

In this truly illuminative and powerful episode, we speak to Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer, authors of Wild Power and founders of Red School, about the importance of reconnecting with our feminine power.

The menstrual cycle is a vital and vitalizing system in the female body, and prior to the Abrahamic religions, a woman’s menstruating body was viewed as sacred and full of power. But in recent history our understanding of and respect for this process has become limited and distorted. We have been taught to be ashamed on our blood flow and, as a result, few women really know about the physiology of their cycle. Early on in our womanhood we are encouraged to ignore it and “just get on with it” without really tapping into its essence or the power it could offer us if approached with love and understanding.

Alexandra and Sjanie talk us through the extraordinary benefits of charting our cycles and how, by doing that, we connect back in with the sacredness of our female bodies and learn to work in symbiosis with our cyclical and powerful selves.

Women of all ages will find this episode illuminating, and we would especially encourage anyone with young daughters to listen, because these teachings are truly life-changing.

Ep. 6 - The Importance of Birth Preparation with Doula, Hypnobirthing Instructor & Birth Facilitator Dani Diosi

Tue, 04 Feb 2020 07:17:10 +0000

In this beautifully enlightening episode, we speak to doula, hypnobirthing instructor and trainer, and birth facilitator, Dani Diosi from Mama Serene Birth about the importance of preparation for birth.

If it is true that no one would dream of entering a marathon without training, why do we, as modern women, believe that we can go into birth – one of the most challenging and transformative moments of our lives – without preparing both physically and emotionally?

We explore ways to physically prepare our bodes for the best possible birthing outcome, and talk with Dani about the misconception behind the term “hypno”birthing, and uncover with her how it is instead a way of rewiring our brains to believe we can birth our babies in the way nature intended, which we now know through extensive research, offers innumerable benefits to mother and baby, including long-term immune strength and emotional wellbeing.

Our intention with this episode is to arm women with knowledge, and thereby empower them to make decisions regarding birth based on informed choice, and to believe in their innate ability to birth their babies.

Ep. 5 - Body Positivity with Stylist and Body Positive Coach Stevie B

Mon, 27 Jan 2020 07:14:09 +0000

In perhaps one of our most edifying episodes for self-evolution, we talk today to Stevie B, celebrity stylist and body positive coach. We have spent the past few decades being fed the shameful and cruel narrative that if you are not an exact replica of a 90s supermodel, you are not beautiful. Thankfully for us in the lead-up to a new decade, the body positive movement was born, and it is teaching women (and men) that we do not need to be a size 10 to be beautiful, that beauty comes from a place of self-worth. But we can only achieve this state of self-worthiness if the industry that teaches us there is a specific template for beauty, gets eclipsed by a movement that proudly tells us otherwise.

After her own long and tortuous journey towards self-acceptance, Stevie is helping women to love their bodies, and thankfully for any of us who get to meet her or work with her, she’s helping us love clothes again, by having the masterful ability to dress any woman of any shape, leaving her feeling a million dollars.

A truly uplifting and inspiring conversation between three women, all with different experiences of a journey towards self-love and self-acceptance. We invite you to join us on this body positive movement! You can find Stevie on Instagram @steviebstylefashion

Daily Practices For A Healthy Happy Home – Transcript

Creating daily or cyclic rituals is a wonderful way to create long-lasting positive memories for you and your children. Think back to something you did when you were young, that was a tradition or a ritual – even if those words weren’t necessarily used.

Lauren: When I lived in Israel, my aunt and I would cook a big dinner for Friday night every Friday and when we finished, we’d sit down to a cup of coffee, with the latest music from an Israeli singer we loved playing, eating some of the cake we’d just made. It was a small and seemingly insignificant thing to do, but something we did every single week without fail that became a ritual, and it will always hold a special place in my heart.

Tilly: When I was younger, we’d go horse-riding. It always seemed to be cold, and when we came back, the lovely groom would give us warm Ribena and we’d have the chicken lettuce mayo sandwiches my mum made us. It was a lovely tradition that makes me so happy to think about.

Creating memories like this opens up a space in the heart for positive conscious energy in the present and in memory, and makes your home a place of higher vibrational energy, where your family will want to spend their time.

So please join us as we relive our favourite moments from our own childhoods and from the rituals we have created in our own family homes now.

Starting the morning with soft music playing, something that elevates your vibrational frequency and using the same music style each morning / using a gong

Making tea or hot drinks, the same thing each morning

Juicing and smoothies

Making your bed – your home reflects your mind. Too much clutter is not good for feng shui

Diffusing uplifting essential oils each morning, such as citrus oils and rosemary, then doing the same in the evening with oils for winding down such as lavender, clary sage, frankincense and chamomile

Getting the whole family involved in meditation or gratitude prayers

Having live plants in the house and putting time and effort into keeping them alive and well

Sage or palo santo smudging to cleanse

Full moon rituals

Cleaning the house

Baths with oils and salts

Taking time to home make your own lotions and potions – for example toothpaste, cleaning products and creams

Dance it out! Intuitive movement is the act of moving your body, however it feels like moving, letting your soul and spirit dance you, according to Rebecca Campbell in the book Light is the New Black. No one is watching you, just dance and encourage your children to dance too; we promise it will put a smile on your face and make you happier!

Family meal at the table every day

Cooking. Even if the kids aren’t involved, showing them that their parents put the time and effort into home cooked, real food is a great way to instil the importance of nutrition into them, as well as showing the that you put love and devotion into their food

Growing your own herbs and if you can, vegetables, is a great way to bring nature into the home and give you the feeling that you truly are nourishing your family with your own hands

Baking once a week

Having a salt lamp helps reduce EMFs so keeping one near a wifi router is a good idea

Following on from that, choosing a suitable hour for all screens to go off and for the wifi to be turned off will ensure that circadian rhythms can flow naturally and that our bodies can repair without interference while we sleep.

Encourage reading, as a family and as a solitary activity – it helps us learn and grow, no matter how old we are

Creating seasonal traditions is an amazing way to connect with the seasons and remain connected as a family. Check out wholefamilyrhythms.com for ideas. Things like creating a seasonal table of crafts that we make in line with the season, and keeping it there throughout the months of that season and adding things to it, or having Christmas, Chanukah or Diwali traditions, Spring cleaning to invite in the fresh, warming and aromatic energies of spring, and getting kids ready to do annual fun things for summer, like camping out in the garden and learning about the Native Americans with a camp fire – these are all amazingly expansive activities that will leave long lasting memories etched in your family’s hearts.

Top Tips For Motherhood Self-Care – Transcript

It’s a hard bloody slog sometimes isn’t it? It really is! Which is why self-care is so important. That term has been thrown around a lot recently, but there’s a reason for it. Without filling ourselves up, how can we be the best for our children?

What fills you up? What are the things that when you do them, they truly light you up from the inside out? Something that isn’t unachievable with motherhood duties but truly makes you feel whole - what would it be?

For Tilly it’s walking in the park with her dog, being surrounded in nature. For Lauren it’s sitting in a cosy café in London, reading or writing. For both of us it’s also making the time to meditate as we have learnt over the years that being dedicated to a daily spiritual process elevates us and enhances the day to come.

We’d like you to think of the thing that fills you up, and try to set aside some time once a week, or whatever feels achievable within your own circumstances, to make it happen.

They say that most marriages go through their rockiest stages during the years of early parenthood. Of course, there could be many reasons for this, but in couples who truly care about each other, it ends up mostly being because we don’t have time for each other, but more importantly, ourselves. If we spend time making ourselves feel good, we will be less likely to resent our partner, and feeling good physically and emotionally makes us feel sexier. We could all do with a bit of that during the early years! What makes you feel sexy, or what makes you feel better?

Leading on from this, we wanted to talk about the importance of owning our self-worth. As mothers we put everyone first, meaning we very rarely invest in ourselves. After I (Lauren) had my second baby, I felt crappy. My body didn’t feel like mine, my boobs were huge and the postpartum arthritis flare meant that I couldn’t exercise at all. So I contacted my friend Stevie B who is a stylist and body positive coach. I made a decision to invest in myself and my emotional wellbeing, something I’ve never done to that extent before.

It doesn’t just have to be a stylist; perhaps you need to revamp your health and making the choice to invest in your wellbeing by seeing the right practitioner for you could be just what you need. It could be a homeopath, naturopath, functional medicine doctor, osteopath, regular massages or even a life coach. Remember, you deserve to be happy too!

Eating on the go is always a problem when we have young kids. We’re rushing around tending to everyone else’s needs, and rarely have time to make nourishing, healthy meals for ourselves. A great way to work around this is to pre-plan your meals. I have a 5 weekly meal planner so all my evening meals are worked out already, with enough variation over the 5 weeks. That way when I do my online shop the week before, I know exactly what to order, which is also more cost-effective as I’m not buying stuff I don’t need. It’s one of the tips my clients seem to appreciate the most.

Spending just 20 minutes on, say, a Sunday evening planning your lunches for the week is a great way to ensure you are well prepared for the week. And when we eat better, we feel better. So that’s self-care!

Whenever meditation is mentioned, one of the first things people say is “I don’t have time to meditate.” One of our favourite sayings by Radhanath Swami, the leader of the Hare Krishna movement is, “meditate for 20 minutes twice a day, unless you’re busy… then meditate more.” The busier we are, the longer we need to quiet our minds and rebalance our energy centres.

Meditation has been proven by science to improve health and wellbeing. Mums who meditate each morning tend to be less stressed, suffer from less overwhelm, and are able to cope with the day ahead with more peacefulness and efficiency. It may seem like there is no way in hell you could make that work, but humour us, try it! Just wake up 15 minutes earlier than you would, and do a 10 minute meditation or gratitude practice.

Dr Joe Dispenza talks about breaking the habit of being ourselves. If we wake up every day and allow ourselves to have the same thoughts each morning, for example, I’m tired, I’m rundown, life is hard, I need more money, my kids are driving me mad… we are sending that energy out into the quantum field and manifesting it back to ourselves for the next day. By sending gratitude out into the quantum field, we are rewiring our brains to be happy and raising our vibrational frequency. what better way to start the day than being happy? we can totally do it, we just need to give it a little bit of time.

Some other things we do that feel like true self care to us are: reading, baking, going for a walk, going to the gym or to a yoga class, smudging the house with sage or palo santo while chanting – because yup, we are that crunchy! Going clothes shopping alone, meeting friends for coffee or dinner, losing ourselves in a big old bookshop, and if we’re really lucky and have the support, allowing ourselves a night away in a hotel on our own. Ladies, this is OKAY! Mum guilt is real, but self-care means putting yourself right up there with your kids on your list of priorities. As long as your kids are in good hands and you have ample support, you are allowed time to yourself. This is ok.

We’ve created some affirmations that we’d love you to use on a daily basis, and they are:

I love and accept myself

I am worthy of all the amazing things that are happening in my life

I am beautiful in all my uniqueness

I radiate and receive love and respect

I deserve everything the universe has to offer me

Self-care means something different to everyone, so do what fills YOU up. Try to set aside even 10 minutes each day, after the kids are in bed, or before they wake up in the morning if you’re lucky enough to have late sleepers, to do what elevates you.

My Child Is Unwell; What Do I Do? – Transcript

{DISLCAIMER: we are not doctors and you should contact your medical professional if you are worried about your child.}

We learnt a lot of this information from Dr Jayne Donegan, so do visit her website for comprehensive booklets on these subjects.

When our kids are ill it’s really scary. We want to take away their pain and make them better instantly, but instant isn’t always best. The immune system has brilliant and complex processes that have evolved as we have, to be able to protect us from illness.

The chemical reactions required for the clean-out process work more efficiently at a higher temperature, as do the white cells in the immune system that help to scavenge and clean out rubbish, which is why temperatures are actually super healthy, if approached in the right way and if a child’s immune system is adequately supported.

Common store-bought antipyretics can bring down fevers too quickly and suppress the toxins back into the system, instead of ensuring that the immune system processes the infection or virus in the most natural and effective way. When medicines are introduced to suppress, we often find that the virus keeps returning, but by treating common childhood illness naturally, we ensure longer lasting immunity and recovery, and you often find that your child does something new once they’re better, alerting us to the fact that in order to take a developmental leap forward, the child has to clean out their system first.

Before we leap in, it’s important to stress that this information is for common and unserious childhood illnesses. If your child has a fever that is rising rapidly, if they can’t look at the light or can’t move their neck, or an alarming rash has occurred, always take them straight to hospital. Use your instincts as a parent but always try to remain calm.

For normal circumstances of childhood illness and fever, which occur a lot in the early years, here are the steps we personally take:

Keep them in loose cotton clothing, ensuring that they aren’t too hot, but equally that they don’t catch a chill.
Leave a window open for ventilation, stuffy rooms are not conducive to wellbeing and the respiratory system needs air to be circulating. Room temperature should be around 15-18*. That may sound too cold, especially in the winter, but childrens’ ability to regulate their temperature is immature. If the room is too hot, the child cannot radiate their excess heat into their surroundings.
When the body is processing a fever, it shouldn’t have to do much more work elsewhere, which is where the expression ‘feed a cold starve a fever comes from.’ If your child isn’t hungry, don’t force it. Their body is already doing enough processing without having to add the digestive system to the mix. Stick to clear fluids for example water, diluted apple juice, lemon and honey (never give honey to a child under 1), and broths, which are easy to digest and full of health benefits. With older children who might be used to having sugar, gluten or dairy, try and eliminate these foods for the body to be able to detoxify quicker. Other foods you could offer are peeled apple, wholemeal toast with honey or marmite, mashed potato and fruit or cooked vegetables.
Use your homeopathic kit. They come with a booklet explaining what each remedy is for so choose the relevant remedy. There is also a homeopathic hotline offering free advice. Make sure to utilise this amazing, voluntary service.
Use health elixirs such as elderberry syrup and manuka honey if your child is over a year old.
Skin on skin is one of the most effective ways to regulate a child’s temperature. This isn’t just for new-born babies; the skin on skin approach can be used with children of any age.
Keep a calm, stress-free environment, and keep screentime to a minimum to ensure the child’s circadian rhythms normalise.
Let the child sleep as much as possible. Just read the 6-step guide that comes free on our website to understand why sleep is one of the 6 fundamental pillars of wellbeing.
Increase vitamin c to help the immune system on its journey back to recovery
Give Epsom salt or magnesium flake baths to aid the detoxification process.

Like we always say, not medicating a fever does not mean you are sitting by idly doing nothing. It means you are supporting the body’s natural processes of elimination.

For coughs and bad colds, follow all the above, and also use steam bowls or steam rooms by running hot water in the bath and closing the door and sitting the child in the room with the steam. You can add certain essential oils to the bath or steam bowl and also to room diffusers that you can leave on throughout the day and night.

Lastly, follow your instincts!

Natural family wellbeing toolkit; what are the essentials we need to stock up on at home? - Transcript

We would like to add here that we believe in an individualised approach to healthcare, meaning that it’s never a one size fits all approach. What works for one person may not work for another, and supplement choices should be dependent upon your own body’s needs.

With that said, here are the items we can’t live without and want to recommend to you:

Homeopathic kit – some have loads of remedies, some have less, but most of them have the essentials you need to treat the most common problems you might come across, such as bumps, bruises, burns, teething, tummy aches, coughs, colds, pregnancy ailments, separation anxiety, shock, grief, muscle sprains, rebalancing, common childhood illnesses, hayfever, allergies and heaps more. Homeopathic remedies are safe, effective and can be used alongside most other treatments. You can use these for the whole family, and even your pets. Helios and Ainsworths both do amazing kits.
Topical creams such as arnica, calendula and hypercal are ones I personally don’t leave the house without with young kids. They are used for cuts, bruises, grazes and scrapes, and encourage faster healing. Weleda and Nelson’s are great brands.
Elderberry syrup – what an elixir. This is can be given to help boost the immune system in the colder months, and also to help when colds and flu come on. It is a super antioxidant and aids digestive health. Every home should have a bottle at hand. You can make it yourself if you happen to have elderberries growing near you – foraging can be a really fun activity with kids. Or else Pukka Herbs do a great one.
Essential oils. I personally use essential oils every single day, for absolutely everything. I used them in my home birth and made up some ready-made roller bottles for the kids for things like teething, digestive problems, cradle cap, sleep, calming, chest problems, congestion, immune boosters and sickness, and also use them for the whole family for other things such as nausea, headaches, migraines, hayfever, anti-inflammatory, muscle aches, in Epsom salt baths, brain function and concentration, and just to make the house smell good!
Manuka honey is the most incredible panacea for sore throats and coughs. It’s antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Good brands are expensive, but it’s worth the hefty price tag
Epsom salts or magnesium flakes. We’re all deficient in trace minerals due to our soil being so depleted of it and it therefore not getting into our food in the way it used to, and one of the best ways to absorb it, believe it or not, is topically. Magnesium oils can also be rubbed on, and liquid minerals can be added to drinking water. Increasing magnesium has so many health benefits, which include bone health, calcium absorption, general health, lowering blood pressure, preventing migraines, reduce stress levels, improve mood, reduce inflammation, reduce the effects of ADHD and so much more.
Vitamin C. As Dr Suzanne Humphries says, you can’t really get too much vitamin c, so it’s pretty essential to stock up. As with all supplements, we would always recommend non-synthetic, so food grade vitamin c is best. We like Pure Synergy Pure Radiance C
Herbs and adaptogens. So underrated but each one has so many benefits and our ancient Indian ancestors knew this, that’s why Ayurveda is deeply rooted in the use of herbs and what nature gave us. Try to increase daily use of herbs, spices and adaptogens such as rosemary, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, turmeric, sage, parsley, coriander, ashwaganda, astragalus, liquorice root, medicinal mushrooms such as chaga, lion’s mane and reishi, cayenne pepper, black pepper, echinacea and ginseng. Dr Josh Axe is a great resource for learning about each individual herb
Distilled water, and not just because Megahome water distillers are sponsoring us! They are in fact sponsoring us because we already use their distiller because we knew the importance of clean drinking water, filtered of harmful toxins. In the same way that we recommend clean food, clean water is essential.
Fluoride is a neurotoxin. If you’re using fluoride toothpaste this will be absorbing through your gums into your body. Using a good fluoride free toothpaste is essential. But it’s also important to note that there is so much more to oral health than toothpaste and we will get into that in a future episode. For now, it’s good to understand that it’s not just about having too much sugar or acid that causes tooth decay, not getting enough of the right minerals also impacts this. Vitamins A, D and K are essential for oral health, so a pure, high quality cod liver oil like Rosita will help, and propolis toothpastes and tinctures can help reverse tooth decay. Shine do an excellent tooth powder that we’d highly recommend, and the Bass brush is an excellent choice of toothbrush.
Probiotics are essential for gut health. Foods and drinks like kefir, kombucha sauerkraut and kimchi are great ways to heal gut flora, and you can get also supplemental probiotics

Is Eating Organic Really That Important And How We Can Find Ways To Manage It Financially (Clean 15, Dirty Dozen) – Transcript:

Quite simply, the answer is yes, it is pretty important. But there are ways around it to make it more financially viable. First, let’s delve into why it’s important to eat organic.

Anything that isn’t genuinely organic contains harmful toxins. In our grandparents’ time, food was grown or reared naturally. Now, however, all non-organic fresh food is grown using pesticides and insecticides, animals being reared for food by non-organic farmers are injected with growth hormones, antibiotics and steroids, not to mention that the environments they’re raised in are appalling, and all processed food is made using preservatives, hydrogenated fats, transfats and other harmful, non-foods.

Our livers are getting so tired trying to detoxify us from all the toxins we consume in our modern lives, and when the toxic load gets too high and our livers can no longer take it, onset of illness can occur. This is why it’s important to keep our toxic loads to a minimum, by reducing exposure to toxicity, and though we can improve this in so many aspects of our lives, one of the best ways of doing that is through nutrition.

What’s the trick? There isn’t one. It really doesn’t have to be complex or thought about too much. JUST EAT REAL FOOD. Naturally produced, homecooked and seasonal are the best ways to go.

And the way to manage it financially? Stick to the clean 15, dirty dozen theory. There are some fresh foods that you can get away with not eating organic, if you do have to choose. These are usually foods with thicker skins, as the pesticides don’t penetrate as deeply. These are called “clean 15” and they are as follows:

Avocados
Sweet corn
Pineapples
Frozen sweet peas
Onions
Papayas
Eggplants
Asparagus
Kiwis
Cabbages
Cauliflower
Cantaloupes
Broccoli
Mushrooms
Honeydew melons

On the flipside, fruit and veg with thin or no skins, will retain a higher percentage of pesticide residue, these are known as the dirty dozen, and they are as follows:

Strawberries
Blueberries
Spinach
Kale
Nectarines
Apples
Grapes
Peaches
Cherries
Pears
Tomatoes
Celery
Potatoes

A quick note on fruits that are labelled as organic but still available out of season. The loophole is that they are grown organically, but perhaps in another country, and then sprayed with preservatives to keep them fresh for the journey, so they end up being far from organic. This is why seasonal eating is important.

Our bodies respond to what we put in and on them, we are not invincible. We need to fuel our bodies with the fuel that is conducive to wellbeing and a lighter toxic load. Just remember, if your grandparents wouldn’t have been able to get hold of it, it’s a good indicator. Eat real. Eat clean.

But hey, as my mum always says, a little bit of what you fancy does you good. Try and live by an 80/20 rule, and that way you’re not restricting yourself to an unmanageable lifestyle, because life should be enjoyed!

Ep. 4 – Holistic Education & Why Schools Kill Creativity with Dominic Miles, Forest School Leader

Sun, 05 Jan 2020 20:01:36 +0000

In episode 4 of Healthy Happy Home, we talk about a holistic approach to education with forest school leader, Dominic Miles. We are learning more and more about the importance and benefits of child-led learning, with some mainstream schools even implementing some more holistic education systems. We talk here about why the Western way of schooling is not conducive to positive learning and how, in the words of Sir Ken Robinson, schools can kill creativity. We talk about why the Scandinavian education system is the most successful in the world – and not successful based on OFSTED points, but based on the happiness and growth of the children and how much better they learn. We delve into all different types of holistic schooling methods – such as Forest School, Waldorf Steiner, Montessori, Home Schooling, Unschooling, Wild Schooling and even Road schooling – which urgently highlights how many of us are realising that the current model of education, which was created to service the needs of the industrial revolution, no longer works and is not only killing children’s creativity, but is preventing them for growing into their best selves.

Dominic, as a former school teacher himself, offers invaluable insight into our need to reform our education system and what we do to help our children. A truly illuminating and enriching episode for anyone who has children, is planning to have children, or anyone simply interested in personal growth.
