  • In this conversation, Shelley Craft and Josie Thomson discuss the importance of self-love and its impact on aging well. They explore the challenges of loving oneself and share personal stories of growth and transformation. They also discuss the influence of conditioning and comparison, the wake-up call of illness, and the power of choosing to live life on one's own terms. The conversation highlights the need to open a positive and honest conversation with oneself and the importance of acknowledging and processing emotions. They emphasise the practice of self-like and self-love as a way to cultivate a healthy relationship with oneself.

She also shares practical tips for incorporating self-love into everyday life, such as setting intentions and finding a happy song. Josie highlights the importance of breaking patterns and finding self-empowerment, as well as the journey of falling in love with oneself.

  • In this episode, our guest, Shanna Whan, the CEO, creator, and founder of Sober in the Country, shares her personal journey and the stories she's gathered from individuals across Australia. This episode explores the challenges and societal expectations during the holiday season synonymous with wine, champagne, and spirits.

    Episode Highlights:

    Social Pressures and Stigmas: The conversation delves into the societal expectations and stigmas associated with alcohol consumption. Shanna challenges the notion that a "rock bottom" experience is necessary to address alcohol-related issues.

    Identifying Problematic Drinking: Shanna provides insights into recognising problematic drinking habits. She emphasises that if individuals are questioning their alcohol consumption, that can be telling.

    Government Involvement: Shanna and Shelley touch upon the role of the government in addressing alcohol-related problems. The need for proactive measures and policies to support individuals in their journey towards healthier habits is highlighted.

    Celebrating Sobriety: Shanna advocates for celebrating the positive aspects of sobriety and explores how individuals can still enjoy social events without relying on alcohol.

    Key Takeaways:

    - Problematic drinking can manifest in various aspects of life, affecting health, relationships, work, and more.
    - The decision to quit or reduce alcohol consumption is personal, and there's no universal "rock bottom" requirement.
    - Having a 3 month, rather than 1 month break from alcohol can help individuals assess their relationship with alcohol.
    - Societal expectations and stigmas around alcohol need to be challenged to create a supportive environment for those seeking change.
    - Government involvement is crucial in implementing policies that address alcohol-related issues and provide support for individuals.

    This episode encourages self-reflection on alcohol habits and challenges listeners to reconsider societal norms surrounding drinking. Shanna's perspective offers a compassionate and practical approach to navigating the complexities of alcohol awareness and support.

     Key Quotes

    1. "If you're asking yourself if there's a problem, there's probably a problem."

    2. "People who don't have a problem with alcohol don't ask themselves if they do have a problem."

    3. "There's some bloody good stuff outside of the bottle, and exploring it can be surprisingly rewarding."

    4. "Be thoughtful, be inclusive, be kind, and don't make assumptions about someone's choice not to drink."

    5. "Stop asking or demanding to know why someone says no; simply offer an alternative without judgment."

    6. "Embrace the joy of missing out on the negative impacts of alcohol, focusing on the benefits of a non-alcoholic lifestyle."

  • This week we meet Dr. Olivia Lesslar and explore the relationship between menopause and anxiety. 

    Here's some key points discussed:

    Menopausal Anxiety:  The episode sheds light on the challenges of menopause and its significant psychological impact. Shelley highlights a staggering 92% of individuals in The Aging Project community reported menopausal anxiety. This staggering statistic underscores the urgency of exploring effective coping strategies.

    The Power of a Holistic Approach: Dr. Lesslar introduces the term "Psycho Neuro Endo Immunology" to describe her professional background which emphasises the inseparability of the body and mind. 

    Science-Backed Techniques: The conversation delves into lesser-known anxiety management techniques, such as meditation, visualisation, immersing oneself in nature, and breathwork. What's remarkable is that these techniques are all grounded in solid scientific research. Dr. Lesslar reveals the science behind these methods, providing a compelling case for their efficacy. 

    Expanding the Anxiety Toolkit:  Dr. Lesslar advocates for expanding the toolkit for managing anxiety. She encourages individuals to explore a plethora of options, empowering them to tailor their anxiety management strategies to their unique needs.

    Dr. Lesslar underscores the pivotal role of education in mental health empowerment. Education equips individuals to make informed decisions about their mental well-being. The provision of resources is essential for fostering mental health awareness, ultimately enabling individuals to take ownership of their mental health.

  • Join us for an insightful episode where we delve into osteoporosis and strategies for building strong bones with Professor Belinda Beck, an expert in bone health.

    Summary:
    In this episode, Shelley Craft engages in a conversation with Professor Belinda Beck about osteoporosis, its causes, risk factors, diagnosis, and preventive measures. The discussion includes insights into nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices.

    Highlights:
    Osteoporosis Insight: Osteoporosis weakens bones, affecting both genders, especially postmenopausal women.
    Risk Factors: Age, genetics, gender, hormones, low calcium/vitamin D intake, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, excessive alcohol, and certain conditions increase osteoporosis risk.
    Calcium Significance: Calcium is essential for bone health; its deficiency leads to bone loss.
    Vitamin D's Role: Vitamin D aids calcium absorption, obtained through sunlight, fish, and fortified dairy.
    Exercise Benefits: Weight-bearing activities and resistance training can improve bone strength and density. 
    Bone Density Testing: Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans evaluate bone density using T-scores.
    Early Awareness: Discussing osteoporosis with a doctor allows timely intervention and prevention.
    Nutrition and Lifestyle: A balanced diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, plus quitting smoking and moderating alcohol, supports bone health.
    Osteopenia Alert: Low bone mass or osteopenia signals fracture risk, warranting preventive action.

  • Renowned habit experts, Dr. Gina Cleo, joins us to explore the profound impact of habits on our lives. Discover the science behind habits, practical strategies for fostering positive behaviours, and overcoming challenges for lasting change. 

    Dr. Cleo's personal journey as a dietician led her to uncover the importance of habits in sustaining positive changes, particularly in weight loss and health maintenance. Habits are deeply rooted in our brains as efficient solutions to our needs, which can sometimes hinder our choices.

    We unpack the science of habit change, and Dr. Cleo introduces the 'habit loop' which drives our actions and recognising it can help shift unhealthy habits to beneficial ones.

    By understanding the distinction between habits and routines, listeners gain insights into reshaping behaviours. Dr. Cleo answers common questions about habit-building duration, emphasising the importance of starting small, consistency, and persistence.

    Practical tips abound, including mindful exploration of habits' triggers and rewards, aligning change with personal values, and the "five-second rule" for prompt action.

    Empower yourself with the science of habit change, as Dr. Gina Cleo's expertise illuminates the path to health and happiness through intentional behaviours.
