Every episode of Shiny Healthy You in the one place to make back-to-back listening a breeze.
Episode 72: Scott Gooding and Neera Scott – Change your mindset, change your life
Changing our habits – have we been doing it all wrong?
What if, instead about trying to force ourselves to adopt a new diet, a new lifestyle, or a new fitness regime, we simply just observed what was there in our minds, without judgement?
This podcast deals with the crucial first step that many of us have missed… and that’s mindfulness.
Scott Gooding is a passionate real food cook, a former MKR finalist, and an all round top bloke. He’s just brought out a new health program that doesn’t just focus on diet and exercise (although they’re a big part of it), but he’s also included modules on super important topics like mindset, motivation and psychology.
Neera Scott is also involved in this program as Scott’s mindfulness mentor. She is a passionate yoga teacher, meditation instructor, and her superpower is taking Eastern philosophy concepts and making it translatable to corporate clients in big cities. She also teaches people how to deal with the daunting feelings that arise as they face being outside their comfort zone.

Episode 71: Maz Compton – On going sober in a party hard world
Maz Compton has worn several awesome hats in her life. You may know her from her days as an entertainment reporter and VJ for MTV. Or you may recognise her voice from her time on 2Day FM as a breakfast show presenter.
But there’s more to this woman than meets the eye. Her most recent achievement, a book with the title The Social Rebellion, takes you through her struggle with alcohol and the way she changed her relationship with drinking. No mean feat when you think about the industry she worked in!
Whether you party hard, or whether you just need some help to free yourself from that wine-on-the-couch-every-night habit… or maybe your vice is something else entirely (like gluten or sugar), there is so much wisdom in this interview for YOU.

Episode 70 – A medical and nutrition volunteer project in Fiji
If you’ve been following me for a while on social media, you may have noticed that I take off to Fiji 4 times a year to work on a nutrition project. You see, when I’m not sorting out women with adrenal fatigue and pyrrole disorder in my clinic and through my online program, I moonlight at the Fiji Nutrition Coordinator for Involvement Volunteers International (also known as IVI).
IVI are a charity organisation based on the Gold Coast, sending volunteers abroad to communities all round the world, including the Pacific Islands, Bali, Philippines, Greece, India and Nepal.
In this episode, follow me to Fiji where we conduct over 800 health checks on local resort workers, villages, and communities in need.

Episode 69: Amy Mingin – Natural Contraception
In a rather hilarious coincidence, today’s topic is the perfect segue after talking about sex for the last three episodes. You see, we are going to be talking about natural contraception.
All too often I have patients come to me, super confused as to which method of contraception to choose. The Pill has been linked to blood clots, stroke, high blood pressure and even some cancers. IUDs are invasive and hard to remove, and they either secrete copper or hormones, and barrier methods… well… let’s face it, they’re kinda annoying.
In order to provide a balanced look at this topic, we look at the pros and cons of the most common contraceptives, including the pill, IUDs, Implanon, barrier methods and more. You will learn what side effects to look for, and the effectiveness of each.

Episode 66: Moira Bradfield – How to have a healthy vagina
All too often, we’re soooo busy dealing with things like poor energy levels, crappy immune systems, dodgy thyroids and worn out adrenals, that we neglect a very important part of our health… and that’s our sexual health, and the wellness of our lady parts “down there.”
Meet Moira Bradfield. She’s a naturopath specialising in vaginas. Yep, for real. She actually working towards her PhD on the topic of the vaginal microbiome (that’s the balance of good and bad bacteria). Yep – one day soon she’ll actually be a “doctor of the vag.”

Episode 64: Kym Campbell – On PCOS, infertility and the natural way to balance hormones
Meet Kym Campbell. She has a personal story to share that (unfortunately) is bound to resonate with many women. You see, she dearly wanted to have children, but struggled for years with infertility. She was eventually diagnosed with a condition called PCOS (which stands for polycystic ovarian syndrome), which makes it very difficult for women to fall pregnant.
After modern medicine couldn’t provide a cure, she embarked on a mission to do whatever she could to become healthier, naturally – and the biggest change she made was to her diet, with stunning results.

Episode 63: Dr Terry Wahls – The Wahls Protocol for Autoimmune Diseases
Meet Dr Terry Wahls. In 2000 she was diagnosed with MS, after a period in her life when she was super busy. By 2007 her condition had deteriorated to the point where she was unable to sit up on her own, she needed a wheelchair to move around, and she was suffering from intense brain fog. The prognosis was bleak and even the best that conventional medicine had to offer did not give her the relief she needed.
So she started researching, looking for answers outside the box. Even though she was a trained medical practitioner, she was desperate and willing to try just about anything.
After embarking upon a paleo diet that was specifically modified to maximise the nutrients needed to fight autoimmune disease, a miracle happened. Her illness started to reverse.
Dr Wahls was told that any functions lost were gone forever – she proved them wrong!
“It’s way simpler and safer to get my nutrition from food, than it is to get my nutrition from supplements.”

Episode 62: Lauren Verona – On yoga, self-care, and healing from burnout
Meet Lauren Verona – an amazing yoga teacher, business woman, loving mum… and very wise woman indeed. She learned her life lessons at a young age – after burning out in a PR job at age 25, she turned to yoga to help deal with the stress and anxiety of her fast-paced “work hard, party hard” lifestyle. She now lives on the Sunshine Coast and owns several yoga studios, including one that’s 100% online!
We also chat about self care, and why Lauren took the word “busy” out of her vocab.
“When you fill yourself up, you can go out and serve others.”

Episode 59: Bella Zanesco – Coming back from corporate burnout
Meet Bella Zanesco – a life and wellbeing strategist. She helps professionals plan for and bring their A-game to their life, career and relationships. She’s also world champion sailor and kiteboarder.
In her previous corporate life she delivered over $5billion in new revenues to Fortune 500 companies including Pepsi Co, Sainsbury’s, Reed Elsevier, Unilever, and The Royal Mail.
Despite all these successes Bella hit a massive hurdle when she succumbed to adrenal failure and burnout.
“I ended up in the foetal position in my mother’s arms.”
It was this rock bottom time that prompted Bella to sit up an re-evaluate her whole life.
