The Healthification Podcast

What comes up for you when I mention: “holiday season food”? Do you first picture all the delicious treats you’re excited to indulge in? Do you feel a little panic’y at the thought of the pesky extra weight that sneakily creeps on each holiday season? Or possibly, is your gut reaction more alone the lines of “there’s so much work involved / it’s ... READ MORE

This morning one of the boys at the gym gleefully shared: “It’s only 5 weeks till Christmas!” As predicted, his observation was met with groans, cries and general dismay. Personally, I LOVE Christmas. I know I’m lucky to feel that way. For me, above anything else Christmas is a time to catch up with family and friends. I actually like the routine ... READ MORE

“I could never eat like you.” “But animals only exist for us to eat them.” “Slaughter houses in Australia are humane. There’s legislation. I grew up in the country. We care about the animals.” If you’re passionate about living a plant based lifestyle and you’re doing it for the animals the hardest part about being a vegan is often dealing ... READ MORE

Todays show is for YOU if you have an addictive personality. I’m going to share how you can make your addictions work in your favour rather than to your detriment by Creating A Positive Addiction To A Plant Based Lifestyle. It’s also an opportunity to revisit one of my favourite frameworks: Tony Robbins’ 6 Core Needs. I’ve discussed the 6 Core Needs ... READ MORE

In my late 20’s I did a life reset. I quit my job and quit my flat and for a few months even quit Sydney! It was such a freeing, refreshing and empowering thing to do. I’d felt stuck, trapped and like I was living out of alignment with my values and beliefs. The thing is the older we get the tougher it can ... READ MORE

For the most part I’m beyond excited to see the explosion of vegan options becoming readily accessible globally. Times are changing and that is AWESOME however it also means there’s the potential to let some sneaky unhealthy health foods creep into your plant based diet. You see one of the lesser acknowledged misconceptions of a vegan / plant based diet is that ... READ MORE

As I record todays show we’re hurtling towards the end of the year. I imagine there must be an age where life starts to slow down? When perhaps the weeks drag by as slowly as when we were kids – however at a few days shy of 41 (!) my years certainly are only speeding up. Can you relate? Equally, ... READ MORE

Although I’m going to share some new plant based recipe wins with you today first I have a question: Do you have something – a belief about YOU – that you regularly repeat to yourself that just isn’t true? I have many. For years I had hang ups about my eyes. They don’t work so well and they can go a ... READ MORE

In the final of this 4 part Failure To Success series my message is: Do it for YOU at the right time for you. Back before my big butt serenades, before I turned gym floor humiliation into a fine art and prior to the biz from hell… when I was very much still that painfully shy young chick, dad and I used ...

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying “You don’t know what you’ve got till you lose it” I also believe “You don’t know what you’re missing till you get it!” Although the story I’m sharing today (Lesson 3 in the: Failure To Success series) relates to business, this lesson is even more applicable to health. Todays show is for YOU if you feel like you’re stuck on the ...

This is the second in a 4 part series on Turning Failure Into Success and today: Surviving Gym Floor Humiliation. The lesson? Everyone starts somewhere. I still get surprised when my clients tell me how easy I make training look. How co-ordinated… That is so NOT ‘natural Kate’.  Anyone who knows me outside a gym would be highly amused to hear those words ... READ MORE

Todays show is the first in a 4 part series on Turning Failure Into Success. Today is all about: Kicking Failures Butt! Although I’m referring primarily to body parts in this show I absolutely believe the lesson (my embarrassingly hard learnt lesson!) can be applicable to any problem area or potential failure in your life. Let’s get rolling… Lesson #1: You can turn ...

Todays show is for YOU if you LOVE demolishing delicious, addictive, convenient refined carbs. I get it. The bread, the cereal, the chips, the biscuits are such a tempting way to reward or distract yourself. They’re so easy. So fast. So cheap. However if you are what you eat… you don’t want to be easy, fast and cheap I’m guessing? In all seriousness, as an ... READ MORE

In today’s podcast, Your Ideal Veganish Day Starts The Night Before, we’ll lay the foundation to sculpt a fit, healthy, plant strong (!) body simply and sustainably.  When I ran my 7 Day Veganish Flat Belly Blitz a month ago I powered on in without a huge amount of preparation… although I had all the content I hadn’t really spread the word that the ...

Here’s a little (perhaps too honest!) behind the scenes perspective for todays show on: 5 Steps To Reset Your Metabolism. One of the statements I used to really struggle to respond to graciously is: “You’re so lucky to have that body” or “I’d do anything to look like that.” Because actually the super-vast-majority-of-the-time: NO you wouldn’t do anything! If you spent a week with me you likely wouldn’t even do just what ...
