The Healthification Podcast

I’m a little star struck today. Founder and president of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) Ingrid Newkirk has spent the past 4 decades getting people to see who animals are, and to change their lives to stop hurting them and start helping them. As head of the largest animal rights organisation in the world, Ingrid and her team have ... READ MORE

WOW, 2 fat blasting focused podcasts in one week! Can you tell what’s on my mind right now? In all honesty I had to come up with a solo show at short notice so I’m revisiting one of my popular shows from around 550 (!) episodes ago. Heads up I covered the subjects closest to mind in the first 100 ... READ MORE

Todays show on Fat Blasting Exercise Upgrades is a little level up or overall overhaul for those of us who might have been cruising just a tad with our exercise recently. As much as I advocate for consistency year round in your approach to both nutrition and exercise it’s also fairly unrealistic to push your hardest all year. Sometimes I find ... READ MORE

My guest today Nikki Vegan, creates amazing vegan recipe and lifestyle videos to provide healthy eating inspiration and also spread the word that being vegan can mean eating delicious, easy to prepare, affordable food without harming animals or the environment. This interview has really inspired me to get in the kitchen and try some new recipes.  So many times while ... READ MORE

One of the decisions I made early on in my personal training career was to always Choose My Mood. This was initially because I wanted to ensure my clients had the best possible experience with me, whether it be 6am or 8pm. I felt it was my responsibility to walk the talk. As with so many things the real benefits were in ... READ MORE

One of the many things I really love about the conversations I get to have on this podcast, is the super diverse range of guests I get to chat with. Today’s show featuring: Vegan Comedian Jacob Yapp and Effecting Social Change Through Comedy  is the prefect example. I knew Jake would be a lovely gent, as well, I’d done my research and I ...

A dozen+ years into my personal training career I often find myself wondering why smart people are so susceptible to stupid ideas. Disclaimer: this is all observation and fascination with zero judgement as, I know I’m susceptible to stupid ideas too! Perhaps not so much in the realm of nutrition, exercise and fat loss however absolutely in the realm of ... READ MORE

Today I’m delighted to re-introduce my first repeat guest, vegan psychologist Clare Mann. Clare has a unique ability to know what is needed by the vegan community she is such a deservedly respected and relentlessly supportive member of. Back in E538: Clare Mann and I discussed her book Vystopia: the anguish of being vegan in a non-vegan world. Today I’m excited to discuss Clare’s ... READ MORE

The lungs of our planet are burning. Right now, the horrific fires tearing through the Amazon are so fierce they can be observed from space. Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research (INPE) reported a record 72,843 fires this year. That’s an 83% increase from last year. This isn’t mother natures fury. Humans are responsible. Humans who demand to eat animal products. ... READ MORE

Friends we’re in for a high energy ride today! Energybits Founder / CEO and Chief Scientific Officer Catharine Arnston has spent the last ten years educating consumers and wellness professionals about algae. Now if the word “Algae” doesn’t instantly fill you with excitement please hang on in there! I was merely a causal Spirulina consumer prior to prepping for todays interview and now I’m a huge fan ... READ MORE

Todays show is inspired by the gents I work with banging on about the benefits of the Keto diet. Originally I had planned to podcast about all the health risks associated with restricting your diet to align with the Keto guidelines of 70% of your calories coming from fat, 25% of your calories coming from protein and just 5% of ...

In preparation for todays show these are a few of the questions I was struggling with. Do we eat organic for our own health to avoid the pesticides and in doing so support factory farming as litter from large scale animal agriculture is the primary source of fertiliser in organic farming?  Or do we lead with compassion, return to conventional crops and hope a good ...

How many wellness trends have you jumped on that in hindsight were ridiculous? I’ll certainly put my hand up for subscribing to a whole heap of rubbish that I’ve since thankfully moved on from. As I was discussing with my mum just last night (in response to the podcast interview we did on her Plant Based Journey) it’s ok, to admit ... READ MORE

7 months ago my mum asked me to watch What The Health with her on my last morning in Noosa before I flew home to Sydney after a stunning end of year break. It was not an out of the blue request. In fact I’d been championing it for a couple of years. For my 40th birthday I’d unsuccessfully suggested: “All I ... READ MORE
