In our latest chat, I sit down with Jess Anderson from Nourish and Bloom Mama to get real about the ups and downs of motherhood, from pregnancy to baby nutrition. Jess and I get into what it really means to eat right when you're expecting or already deep in the mom life. We bust some common myths (spoiler: eggs aren’t the enemy!) and share why liver should be on your plate for that choline boost.
Here’s what you’ll take away from our down-to-earth talk:
- Trust your gut (literally) when it comes to what you eat as a mom or mom-to-be.
- Iron’s super important during pregnancy and after, and it's not just about how much you eat, but how your body takes it in.
- Plant-based diets and pregnancy can be a tricky combo. We chat about the importance of iron and where to get it.
- Protein is a big deal for energy and mood, especially when you’re growing a little human.
- Food isn't just food; it's about long-term health for you and your kiddo.
- Self-care isn't selfish. It's key for being the best mom you can be.
- We talk healthy fats for brain development and why butter is way better than those nasty vegetable oils.
- The first 40 days postpartum are all about rest, bonding, and boundaries.
Our episode is packed with real talk about making food choices that make sense for you and your family. So grab your earbuds and get ready to feel seen, heard, and maybe even a bit hungry!

In our latest episode, I had a captivating conversation with Marie Maischberger about how health experts navigate the landscape of social media. Together, we peeled back the layers on the role social media plays in shaping public perception of health messages, highlighting the contrast between European and New Zealand approaches. I shared my personal strategies for discerning reliable information from the rampant misinformation online, underscoring the importance of scrutinising sources and the motives behind the messages we receive.We also pondered the significance of personal responsibility when it comes to filtering through health information on these platforms, and the intricate challenges faced in attempting to regulate this digital space. Our dialogue ventured into the realm of nutrition, where I discussed the necessity of explaining why certain food choices can enhance health and the imperative of customising nutrition to fit individual needs.Takeaways from the Discussion-Social media is a prevalent yet precarious platform for health information, often marred by inaccurate content.-Health professionals view and interact with social media content through diverse lenses, shaping their engagement.-It's crucial to critically assess health information on social media and be wary of the intentions behind it.-Individuals should take charge of their social media feeds, carefully selecting reputable sources to follow.-The complexity of overseeing health messages on social media underscores the need for users to be judicious in what they accept as truth.-Clear communication about the virtues of healthy eating is essential, as is customising dietary advice to individual needs.-While social media can be a potent tool for health advocacy, it demands an informed and questioning approach to protect against misinformation.-Recognising the disparities in food standards and choices internationally is key to a well-rounded understanding of nutrition.

Holiday Health Hacks With Harriet From Harriet Well Nutrition
In our latest episode, Harriet and I delve into the myriad ways to stay healthy and joyful throughout the festive season. We advocate for a positive approach to nourishment, focusing on what to incorporate into your diet instead of what to eliminate.
Understanding the benefits of embracing hunger is another key point we discuss, along with the crucial aspect of making your well-being a priority and ensuring you stay well-hydrated.
Mindfulness is a recurring theme in our conversation, especially when it comes to eating. We talk about the importance of plating your food and tuning into your hunger and fullness signals. This approach allows you to fully savor and celebrate the holiday treats without losing sight of your body's cues.
We wrap up the conversation by reinforcing the need to adhere to feel-good daily practices and routines, even amidst the holiday chaos.
Moreover, Harriet and I explore tactics for upholding a balanced lifestyle during these festive times. We stress the significance of establishing wholesome routines, being conscious of our movement, listening to our bodies, managing stress without resorting to food, and practicing self-compassion.
We encourage everyone to wholeheartedly enjoy the holidays and resist the temptation to dismiss healthy habits with the new year just around the corner. Ultimately, we aim to equip you with actionable advice and a positive outlook to skillfully navigate the holiday season's delights and challenges.
Takeaways
Set up healthy routines and be mindful of your daily habits, even during the holiday season. Any movement is good, so find ways to stay active and enjoy physical activities that you love. Listen to your body and take the time to check in with yourself both mentally and physically. Manage stress without relying on food as a coping mechanism. Remember that one less healthy choice isn't going to ruin everything. Enjoy it and move on. Don't be too hard on yourself and try to enjoy the holiday season without overthinking things. Avoid using the impending new year as an excuse to abandon healthy habits. Start incorporating positive changes now.Chapters

And much much more.
Alex's takeaway desserts are incredibly insightful, so make sure you listen right until the end to get the delicious goodies! -
Why do we feel guilty for spending time on ourselves?
Plus a deep dive into the world of food marketing!
A rare solo episode I get geeky. I open up about my post-holiday guilt... a common theme I see amongst women. Feeling guilt for spending time on themselves. It's why so many women put off getting healthy - they somehow feel like it's selfish. Quite the opposite!

Our longest episode so far! Megan is a very good friend of mine and boy is her health journey incredible.
Nicknamed Barbie (me) & Vegan (Megan) when we worked together, Megan used to think I was strange for going to the gym.
Now she gets up on stage in a sparkly bikini showcasing months of preparation to bring her to this point. How does she do it? The sacrifices? The mindset? The workouts? And of course the food.
From vegan to meat eater. From hippy to sparkling bikinis on stage.
From losing over 10kg when first starting her health journey with a PT to gaining and losing a colossal 15kg (total) as part of her body building prep.
We start with an intro to Megan and her body building journey so far.
We then run through my five 'Lifestyle Design Secrets' as she has experienced them over the years and as part of her body building journey.
We talk about:
- Mindset
- Environment
- Habits
- Movement
- Nutrition
And we end with a delicious dessert of why you should wear a sparkly bikini! Because...why not?

Welcome to a very honest solo episode... lots of you have asked about holiday insights, so here we go!
Saucy Starter
A real insight into my holiday - the good, the bad and the power of knowing the tools to come back from over indulgence (I might be the secret queen at this...I am certainly no angel!).
Main Course
Journalist Shannon Thompson shared some incredible insights into her journey in her article this week and I wanted to touch on some of her incredible insights as they are things so many of you experience.
After losing 4.5kg and 13cm in just a couple of weeks, what temporarily caused the wheels to fall off? External factors like work, events, combined with a lack of planning and getting into your own head... I talk through these aspects and how we come back from them.
Shannon is doing incredibly well again - as she notes in her article she could really feel the difference! If feeling better isn't a good enough incentive to eat better I am not sure what is.
Delicious Dessert
I give you an insight into our brand new bitesize guides and we I created them. In this episode I delve deep into the 5 stages of our Fat Loss framework. Why? Because these are the exact insights I use to get back on track after a holiday. I use both Shannon and myself as examples of how each aspect of the framework works.

Meet Ben, who has lost 17kg throughout our 12 weeks together and is now navigating his health journey from 118kg down to 98kg and exactly how that feels.
Saucy Starter:
We’ve known each other for 15 years. We start with a trip down memory lane, in Greece and our downfalls! Weighing in at the start and end of the season. How much of what we did back then would be frowned upon now? Probably a lot! Carbs on carbs, booze & bread baskets.
We talk about anxiety eating when work is too busy. Emotional eating. Coffee. Chocolate. Fatherhood, Confidence and a HELL of a lot more.
Our chat focuses (loosely) around Ben’s journey and feedback on his 12 weeks.
………………
Main Course:
A few words to describe your experience:
Life changing
What are some of the key changes you have felt?
Sugar cravings have all but disappeared. Comfort eating has pretty much diminished.
Your Starting Weight (KG): 115
Your Current Weight (KG): 98
How quickly did you start to notice a change in your body, moods or feelings of confidence?
Week 1
What has been your key learning?:
I have the self control when I need to
Would you go back to the way you were eating?:
Yes. But with knowledge that I can control and manage it comfortably
Did it feel harder or easiest than you thought it would be to make changes?
Harder
Is what you learnt flexible to your lifestyle?:
Yes. Budgeting will be the main concern
Now, did you not eat steak for breakfast every day?
What would you say to someone, in a painful place, lacking knowledge or body confidence, but scared to try and change?:
Talk. Talk to people in the know. Ask question after question. Once you have someone in your corner, the accountability kicks in and the decisions become easier. Even if the process is still difficult.
Takeaway Dessert:
Ben’s Favourite Recipes & his recommendations on what to do if you’re feeling stuck.
