The Wellness Collective with Nat Kringoudis

In this episode, Calista Clements opens up about the moment she broke down in tears in a car, frustrated by politics, social media labeling, and the feeling that many Australians were afraid to express reasonable opinions publicly. She shares how that moment led her to start posting consistently online and build a platform around conversation, debate, and what she calls “common sense.”We talk about ‘cancel culture’, respectful disagreement, the pressures of social media, and why so many people stay silent even when they have something meaningful to say. Calista also reflects on her experience during Victoria's lockdowns and how that period shaped her perspective on freedom, responsibility, and speaking up.At its core, this conversation isn’t about convincing everyone to agree. It’s about whether a healthy society can still tolerate disagreement, nuance, and difficult conversations.🌿 What You'll Learn in This Episode:✅ Why "common sense" has become controversial✅ The impact of cancel culture on public conversations✅ Why so many people are afraid to speak honestly✅ How Calista found the confidence to share her views online✅ The lasting effects of lockdowns on Australians✅ How to stand by your beliefs when others disagree👤 Guest Info:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecalistacut/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thecalistacut 👇 All the Good Stuff 👇FREE Hormone Quiz: https://form.typeform.com/to/a3wsLZF6 Nat’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natkringoudisNK The Membership: https://site.natkringoudis.com/membership Nook Saunas: ⁠https://nooksaunas.com.au/  - USE CODE NATKPODShokz Australia: ⁠https://shokz.com.au/⁠ - USE CODE NAT15

What happens when the pursuit of health becomes unhealthy?In this episode, I sit down with entrepreneur Nick Bell to talk about success, burnout, health scares, and the lessons he learned after pushing his body to the limit. From taking more than 90 supplements a day to spending 18 months focused solely on recovering his health, Nick shares the mistakes he made so you don't have to.We dive into biohacking, peptides, stem cells, fasting, heavy metals, sleep, and the endless search for the next health solution.

Sometimes the foundations matter most.At the core of it, this conversation is about finding what actually works, cutting through the noise, and understanding that health isn't something you can shortcut.🌿 What You'll Learn in This Episode:✅ Why more supplements don't always mean better health✅ The health scare that changed Nick's priorities✅ The basics that matter more than expensive health hacks✅ How sleep impacts every area of your life✅ The risks of overtraining and overdoing it✅ Why less is often more when it comes to wellness🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment!👤 Guest Info:Nick Bell: https://www.instagram.com/nickbellau/ Website: https://nick-bell.com/ 👇 All the Good Stuff 👇FREE Hormone Quiz: https://form.typeform.com/to/a3wsLZF6 Nat’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natkringoudisNK The Membership: https://site.natkringoudis.com/membership Nook Saunas: ⁠⁠https://nooksaunas.com.au/⁠  - USE CODE NATKPODShokz Australia: ⁠https://shokz.com.au/⁠ - USE CODE NAT15

Menopause really is getting a hot minute, but there are still so many misconceptions surrounding both perimenopause and menopause. Perhaps you’re waking at 3am, or feeling anxious. You might be forgetting words mid sentence, snapping at things that never used to bother you, or wondering why your body suddenly feels unfamiliar… then I got you. You’ll want to press play immediately.I’m diving into menopause and perimenopause and breaking down why this transition is so much more than hormones alone. Because yes, hormones matter, but your nervous system, stress levels, sleep, nutrition, environment and even the load you’re carrying every day all play a role in how you experience this phase of life.But there’s a piece to this puzzle almost every woman is missing… you’re a smart woman, it’s time to take the upgrade that menopause unlocks seriously. But without knowing what this is or how, you’ll likely miss this step completely.So many women feel like they need to push harder when symptoms start showing up, when actually, the opposite is true and unlocking this is truly the one thing you need to know. This is the season where your body allows your to work smarter - not harder. I explore this and more in this episode. 🌿 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✅ The difference between perimenopause, menopause and post menopause✅ Common symptoms and what they may actually be telling you✅ Why hormones aren’t the whole story✅ The role of stress and your nervous system in symptoms✅ Why HRT is one tool, not the whole toolbox✅ Simple foundations that can help you feel better👇 All the Good Stuff 👇FREE Hormone Quiz: https://form.typeform.com/to/a3wsLZF6 Nat’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natkringoudisNK The Membership: https://site.natkringoudis.com/membership Nook Saunas: ⁠https://nooksaunas.com.au/  - USE CODE NATKPOD

Hilary also shares the challenges of growing a business while trying to stay connected to herself and the people around her.At the core of it, this conversation is a reminder that success doesn’t have to look the same for everyone and maybe the goal isn’t doing it all, but creating a version of life that actually works for you.🌿 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✅ Why modern women feel pressure to be everything to everyone✅ The reality of balancing motherhood and ambition✅ Why community matters more than ever✅ Parenting lessons that challenge old ways of thinking✅ How entrepreneurship impacts your personal life✅ Creating success on your own terms👤 Guest Info:Hilary Holmes: https://www.instagram.com/hilaryholmesmakeup/ Holme Beauty: https://holmebeauty.com/ 👇 All the Good Stuff 👇FREE Hormone Quiz: https://form.typeform.com/to/a3wsLZF6 Nat’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natkringoudisNK The Membership: https://site.natkringoudis.com/membership Nook Saunas: ⁠https://nooksaunas.com.au/⁠ - USE CODE NATKPOD

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most common things I see in clinic, heavy bleeding, and why it’s something we should never ignore. Because while it might be common, it’s absolutely not normal, and it’s your body trying to tell you something deeper is going on.I walk you through what’s actually happening hormonally, from estrogen dominance to low progesterone, and why so many conventional approaches miss the real cause.

What if your body already knows how to heal… and we’re just getting in the way?In this episode, Pete Evans shares what he’s learned after years in the health space and why so many people still feel disconnected from their bodies. From fasting and nourishment to nature and stillness, he explains why the basics we’ve moved away from might actually be the most powerful.We also touch on what happened when his views pushed him outside the mainstream, including being publicly criticized and effectively cancelled on social media, and how that period reshaped his perspective on freedom, truth, and staying aligned with what he believes.We talk about the rise of ‘busy’ as a badge of honor, the impact of constant noise, and why stepping away from it all even briefly can create real change.

She walked out of the doctor’s office with a menopause script in her hand and the words “you need a hysterectomy” echoing in her ears. Jess wasn’t prepared for that moment, but it became the line in the sand. After years of surgeries, diagnoses, and pain dismissed as “in her head,” that day marked the beginning of her true healing.I’m sitting down with my beautiful friend and M BODY co-founder, Jessica Blizzard, to trace the steps from that moment to now.

What if the products sitting in your beauty cupboard were quietly impacting your hormones, gut health, and fertility? Kasey Giarratana, co-founder of Xali Organics, joins me to unpack the real-life impact of beauty products on our health. After battling PCOS and endometriosis from a young age, Kasey discovered just how many of the ingredients we use daily are contributing to our symptoms. She shares what happened when her naturopath told her to check the ingredients in her skincare, why fragrance is now a firm no for her, and how she's building a brand that actually supports women through every life stage, from puberty through to perimenopause. We talk about the pressure teens face, the power of peptides, and how to navigate clean beauty without going into overwhelm. This is the kind of conversation I wish every woman could hear.Key TakeawaysToxic Load Is Real – The cumulative impact of our beauty products can affect our hormones, gut health, and overall wellbeing.Fragrance Isn’t Just a Smell – “Fragrance” can be a catch-all for hormone-disrupting chemicals that sneak into our products.Education Creates Empowerment – Helping women understand what’s in their products gives them back control of their health.80/20 for the Win – You don’t have to be perfect. Choosing better products most of the time still makes a meaningful difference.Peptides Are Powerhouses – Peptides in skincare aren’t just trendy; they’re biologically compatible and effective for things like hair and lash growth.Trust Matters Most – In a noisy, often critical beauty industry, transparency and integrity build loyalty that lasts.Where to Find Our GuestXali Organic’s Website: http://www.xaliorganics.comXali Organics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/xaliorganics/Links & Resources📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis🌿 Join NK x The Membership – Your Wellness Sanctuary!Created by me to help women reclaim their body wisdom with expert support, exclusive resources, and a like-minded community.✨ What’s Inside?✔ Early access to new Masterclasses & Challenges✔ Unlimited access to 20+ Masterclasses & 25+ free ebooks✔ VIP perks—events, expert Q&As & private community✔ 20% off practitioner-grade supplements✔ Direct access to Nat via live Q&As & Facebook chat💖 Join today & take charge of your health!👉 Sign Up Now: https://natkringoudis.thrivecart.com/the-membership-x-nat-kringoudis/🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment!

All the water you consume each day might be one of the biggest sources of toxins your body takes in. But once you understand how water has changed from its natural form and what that means for your health, it starts to make a whole lot of sense.Josh Hiam from Hydrogen Health comes from a background in biomedical and electronic engineering, and he has a real passion for understanding how the natural world designs wellness into our biology. We unpack the science behind structured water, molecular hydrogen, and why your body might be dehydrated even when you’re drinking loads of water. One thing I loved in this conversation is how clear it became that your body knows what to do. Structured, mineral-rich, hydrogen-infused water can be a massive part of that. It's about returning water to the state nature intended and making it accessible in your daily life.Key TakeawaysWater Can Be Depleting – Tap water and even filtered or alkaline water may require your body to work harder to process it, leaving you more stressed and less hydrated.Hydrogen Heals from Within – Molecular hydrogen targets oxidative stress at the cellular level and converts damaging free radicals into water.Hydration Calms The Nervous System – Hydrogen-rich water helps regulate the vagus nerve, reduce inflammation and shift you into parasympathetic rest and repair.Kids Know What Feels Good – Josh and I talk about how my son, who has cystic fibrosis, kept reaching for the hydrogen bottle long before I ever told him why it might help.Your Shower Water Matters – If you’re showering in chlorinated, chemically treated water, you’re likely absorbing and inhaling things that disrupt your hormones and skin health.Small Shifts Can Be Profound – Structured, energized, mineral-infused water mimics natural spring water and supports mitochondrial function, collagen production and long-term energy.Where to Find Our GuestJosh Hiam’s Website: https://www.hydrogenhealth.net.auHydrogen Health on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hydrogenhealthofficial Links & Resources📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis🌿 Join NK x The Membership – Your Wellness Sanctuary!Created by me to help women reclaim their body wisdom with expert support, exclusive resources, and a like-minded community.✨ What’s Inside?✔ Early access to new Masterclasses & Challenges✔ Unlimited access to 20+ Masterclasses & 25+ free ebooks✔ VIP perks—events, expert Q&As & private community✔ 20% off practitioner-grade supplements✔ Direct access to Nat via live Q&As & Facebook chat💖 Join today & take charge of your health!👉 Sign Up Now: https://natkringoudis.thrivecart.com/the-membership-x-nat-kringoudis/🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment!

Girls are skipping meals, hiding full lunchboxes, and burning out before they’ve even had the chance to build strong bones. That’s where this conversation had to start.Dr. Stacy Sims has been calling out the massive gap in research on women’s health for years. Her phrase “Women Are Not Small Men” isn’t a tagline. It’s a wake-up call backed by science, and it applies at every stage of life. From how our daughters are shaped by early food restriction, to how many of us are still training in ways that don’t match our physiology, Stacy breaks it down.We covered bone health, birth control, fasted workouts, and why circadian rhythm quietly drives so much of our health. We also spoke about parenting teens, building strong habits at home, and how your menstrual cycle is often the first clue something’s off. If you’ve been ticking the boxes but still feel flat, this conversation brings it back to what your body’s really asking for.Key TakeawaysTeen Nutrition Matters - Puberty is a critical window for building bone mass, and under-fueling can stunt lifelong health.Skip the Fasted Workouts - Training without fuel disrupts circadian rhythm and increases muscle breakdown, especially in women.Exercise is Stress - Recovery needs to match the load, especially in your 30s and 40s, when stress resilience starts to shift.Cycle-Aware Training - Tracking your cycle helps you train smarter, recover better, and ditch the guilt on low-energy days.Birth Control and Performance - Oral contraceptives can mute high-end performance and mask red flags like low energy availability.Reframe High Performance - Whether you’re a mum, a professional, or an athlete, you're living in a high-performance body. Support it accordingly.Where to Find Our GuestDr. Stacy Sims’ Website: https://www.drstacysims.comDr. Stacy Sims on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstacysimsDr. Stacy Sims on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drstacysimsDr. Stacy Sims on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drstacysimsLinks & Resources📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis🌿 Join NK x The Membership – Your Wellness Sanctuary!Created by me to help women reclaim their body wisdom with expert support, exclusive resources, and a like-minded community.✨ What’s Inside?✔ Early access to new Masterclasses & Challenges✔ Unlimited access to 20+ Masterclasses & 25+ free ebooks✔ VIP perks—events, expert Q&As & private community✔ 20% off practitioner-grade supplements✔ Direct access to Nat via live Q&As & Facebook chat💖 Join today & take charge of your health!👉 Sign Up Now: https://natkringoudis.thrivecart.com/the-membership-x-nat-kringoudis/🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment!

Teenagers are being handed the pill to fix things that aren’t broken. That’s the real issue here. Irregular periods, mood swings, acne. These are often part of the natural learning curve as the brain and ovaries figure out how to communicate. But what happens when we shut that whole system down before it’s even developed?Dr. Sarah Hill is an evolutionary psychologist, researcher, and author of “This Is Your Brain on Birth Control”. Her work has helped so many of us finally make sense of the symptoms we were told to ignore, and now she’s back to share what the science is saying about teens, birth control, and brain development.This is the conversation I needed as a mum, and I know so many of you do too. Sarah breaks down what’s actually going on in a teen brain, how hormonal contraceptives interfere with those critical years, and why some of the side effects don’t stop just because you come off the pill. This isn’t about fear. This is about being informed so we can make choices that protect our girls’ future health, mood, and fertility.Key TakeawaysBrain Remodeling Years Are Critical – Teen brains rely on natural hormones to finish developing well into their twenties.Birth Control Affects Mood – The pill can double or triple a teen’s risk of depression, even after stopping it.Ovulation Is A Learning Process – Early cycles teach the brain and ovaries to communicate. Shutting that down delays vital development.Progestin Is Not Progesterone – Synthetic hormones don’t provide the same calming or protective effects as the real thing.Teens Are More Sensitive – Teenage brains are wired to respond more strongly to hormone changes and disruptions.Knowledge Is Power – Teaching girls how their cycles work supports long term health and smarter choices.Where to Find Our GuestDr. Sarah Hill’s Website: http://www.sarahehill.comDr. Sarah Hill on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahehillphd Links & Resources📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natkringoudis🌿 Join NK x The Membership – Your Wellness Sanctuary!Created by me to help women reclaim their body wisdom with expert support, exclusive resources, and a like-minded community.✨ What’s Inside?✔ Early access to new Masterclasses & Challenges✔ Unlimited access to 20+ Masterclasses & 25+ free ebooks✔ VIP perks—events, expert Q&As & private community✔ 20% off practitioner-grade supplements✔ Direct access to Nat via live Q&As & Facebook chat💖 Join today & take charge of your health!👉 Sign Up Now: https://natkringoudis.thrivecart.com/the-membership-x-nat-kringoudis/🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment!

Acne can feel relentless, especially when nothing seems to work and you’ve already tried every product, cleanse, and prescription under the sun. Katie Stewart knows that struggle firsthand. Before founding Katie Stewart Wellness, she spent years in television hiding painful cystic acne behind makeup and studio lights while quietly battling the emotional toll behind the scenes.Katie and I sat down to unpack the real root causes of acne. We talked about the Five Acne-Clearing Pillars her team uses to guide women back to clear skin through gut health, detoxification, hormone balance, nervous system support, and nourishing skincare. Whether you’re a teen struggling with breakouts, a mum trying to help your daughter, or someone in your 40s facing unexpected skin flare-ups, there is something here for you.Katie’s story is raw and relatable, and her insights are grounded in what actually works. This isn’t about chasing quick fixes. It’s about understanding your body and giving it what it really needs to heal.Key TakeawaysAcne Is a Signal, Not a Surface Issue – True healing starts when we stop chasing quick fixes and start asking what our body is trying to say.The Pill Doesn’t Balance Hormones – It masks symptoms and shuts down communication between your brain and ovaries, often leading to bigger issues down the track.The Five Acne-Clearing Pillars Matter – Gut health, detoxification, hormone balance, nervous system support, and skin barrier care must all work together.Nervous System Healing Is Non-Negotiable – You can’t fully heal if your body doesn’t feel safe. Stress and trauma have a direct impact on your skin.Teen Skin Needs Simplicity, Not Stripping – Overuse of harsh products can backfire. Gentle, barrier-supportive skincare is key.Accutane Isn’t a Cure-All – Many women find their acne returns after medication. Addressing the root causes is what brings lasting change.Where to Find Our GuestKatie Stewart Wellness: https://katiestewartwellness.com/Katie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katiestewartwellness/Katie on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/katie-stewart-wellnessLinks & Resources📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natkringoudis🌿 Join NK x The Membership – Your Wellness Sanctuary!Created by me to help women reclaim their body wisdom with expert support, exclusive resources, and a like-minded community.✨ What’s Inside?✔ Early access to new Masterclasses & Challenges✔ Unlimited access to 20+ Masterclasses & 25+ free ebooks✔ VIP perks—events, expert Q&As & private community✔ 20% off practitioner-grade supplements✔ Direct access to Nat via live Q&As & Facebook chat💖 Join today & take charge of your health!👉 Sign Up Now: https://natkringoudis.thrivecart.com/the-membership-x-nat-kringoudis/🔔 Don’t forget

If we can get the teen years right, everything changes. That’s the foundation I want to lay in this special Teen Health Month episode. We’re often missing this crucial piece of the wellness puzzle.I sat down and pulled together the most common questions I get asked about teen health. Why teens are so moody, what’s actually happening with their hormones, how to support them through irregular periods, sleep challenges, acne, anxiety, and everything in between. This isn’t just a chat about “puberty.” It’s a call for us as parents, caregivers, and cycle supporters to lay down the scaffolding that sets them up for hormone health long after they’ve left the teen years behind. Whether your teen is struggling to sleep, won’t talk to you, or is just starting their cycle journey, this one’s for you.Key TakeawaysTeen Hormones Are Still Maturing – Hormones don’t fully regulate until the early twenties, so irregularity and mood swings are totally normal.Moody Teens Are Normal – Hormone changes, poor sleep, stress, and blood sugar shifts all play a part. Daily routines really help.Teens Mirror You With Food – They won’t be told what to eat. You’ve got to lead by example and make fresh food easy to access.Anxiety Is A Signal, Not A Trait – Ongoing anxiety points to overwhelm, low iron, or gut imbalance. It’s not “just who they are.”Cycle Tracking Builds Body Awareness – Marking day one and learning ovulation cues sets teens up to understand their bodies for life.Screens Disrupt Hormones And Sleep – Late-night tech use affects melatonin, cortisol, and mood. Set up a consistent wind-down instead.Links & Resources📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natkringoudis🌿 Join NK x The Membership – Your Wellness Sanctuary!Created by me to help women reclaim their body wisdom with expert support, exclusive resources, and a like-minded community.✨ What’s Inside?✔ Early access to new Masterclasses & Challenges✔ Unlimited access to 20+ Masterclasses & 25+ free ebooks✔ VIP perks—events, expert Q&As & private community✔ 20% off practitioner-grade supplements✔ Direct access to Nat via live Q&As & Facebook chat💖 Join today & take charge of your health!👉 Sign Up Now: https://natkringoudis.thrivecart.com/the-membership-x-nat-kringoudis/🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment!

What if your partner had no idea what you were really going through, and didn’t even know how to ask?Leighton Richards is the CEO of WelleCo, a wellness company many of you already know and love. He never expected to be talking about perimenopause, especially as a man, but this conversation was a beautiful reminder of how things shift when you’re willing to show up and listen. What stood out to me most was how he sees his role not as having the answers, but as creating space, normalising the conversation, and bringing awareness to the fact that the system is still failing women.There’s something powerful about having this kind of conversation with someone who genuinely wants to learn, lead with empathy, and support change from both inside the home and inside the industry. I reckon it’s time we had more of that.Key TakeawaysMen Matter Too –  We can’t move forward in women’s health without bringing men into the conversation.The System is Failing Women – Traditional medicine often overlooks perimenopause, leaving women confused, unsupported, and dismissed.Empowerment Through Wellness – When women understand their bodies, they gain back control and confidence in every life stage.Education Starts Early – We need to normalize conversations about hormones and health in families and schools. Waiting until the crisis hits is too late.Supplements Are Science Backed – The right products, made with therapeutic doses and clean sourcing, can create real change in as little as 30 days.Support Begins With Curiosity – One of the most powerful things a partner can do is ask questions, listen, and stay present through her transition.Where to Find Our GuestWelleCo Website: https://welleco.com.auLeighton Richards on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leighton-richards-b8043723/Links & Resources🌞 Sunshine, Safely: 50% Off In Essence Essential OilsIf you’ve been to my clinic, you know I adore In Essence.

She's a doctor, scientist, and founder of Ovum, the AI health partner changing how women experience care. Ariella shared how her own health struggles in med school sparked a mission to help women feel heard, supported, and informed.

There was something so powerful about being in a room full of women who were ready to change the story around menopause.I sat down with three incredible women, Dr. Libby Weaver, Lara Briden and Ali Daddo, for a real and open conversation about perimenopause, menopause and everything that comes with it. We talked about why so many women feel caught off guard, how we’ve been taught to fear this time in our lives, and what it really means when our bodies start to shift.This is not the end. It’s not something to be afraid of. It’s a power shift. We laughed, shared personal stories, and talked about how we can move through this season with strength, knowledge and support. This chat will leave you feeling more connected and a whole lot more hopeful.Key TakeawaysPerimenopause Is a Power Shift – This is not a decline. It’s a powerful time of transition and growth.Iron Deficiency Is Often Overlooked – Fatigue, brain fog and low mood are not always hormonal. They can often come back to low iron.Menopause Is a Natural Part of Life – Women have always gone through it. We just haven’t been encouraged to talk about it.Your Nervous System Matters Most – When stress runs high, symptoms hit harder. Calming your nervous system helps everything else work better.Symptoms Are Temporary – Perimenopause can be intense but it doesn’t last forever. Things can improve and they do.Every Woman’s Story Deserves Space – There isn’t one right way to experience this. We all move through it differently and that’s completely okay.Where to Find Our GuestsDr. Libby’s Website: https://drlibby.comDr. Libby on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DrLibby/Ali Daddo’s Website: http://aviiana.com.auAli Daddo on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alidaddo/Lara Briden’s Website: https://www.larabriden.com Lara Briden on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/larabriden/Links & Resources🔥 Feel Like You Again: 20% Off My Pause for Perimenopause + MenopauseMy Pause has only been around for 6 months and it’s already a go-to for women navigating hormonal shifts.Science-backed, Aussie-made, and created by women who get it — it helps with hot flushes, better sleep, stubborn hormonal weight, and feeling like yourself again.In honour of World Menopause Month, take this as your sign: you’re allowed to feel good.Get 20% off your first order with code NAT20 at 👉 https://mypause.com🌞 Sunshine, Safely: 50% Off In Essence Essential OilsIf you’ve been to my clinic, you know I adore In Essence.

So many women are being told that perimenopause is all about hormones. But what if the real driver of your symptoms is something else entirely? Gemma Benad has lived through anxiety, heart palpitations, panic attacks, and crushing fatigue, only to discover that what looked like a hormone problem was actually burnout.We talk about why women are more disconnected and stressed than ever, how this fuels weight gain, mood swings, and fatigue, and why we’ve been sold HRT as the one-size-fits-all solution. Gemma shares how safety, nervous system health, and small lifestyle shifts can completely change this experience. This conversation is about helping you feel supported, connected, and in charge of your choices as you move through perimenopause.Key TakeawaysPerimenopause Isn’t a Disease – It’s a transition, and with the right information, it can be powerful.Burnout is the Hidden Root – Stress and disconnection are showing up as the symptoms we blame on hormones.Your Body is Speaking – What we call symptoms are really messages that help guide us back into alignment.Safety Changes Everything – When the nervous system feels safe, weight, energy, and mood begin to shift.Lifestyle is Medicine – Protein, fat, movement, rest, and nervous system care are non-negotiables.Informed Choice is Key – Whether you choose HRT or not, it should come from empowerment, not fear.Where to Find Our GuestGemma Benad’s Website: https://stan.store/gemmabenadLinks & Resources🎁  Nook Sauna Sale: Extra $100 Off for Better Sleep & RecoverySauna-curious?

Many women are told that hormone replacement therapy is the solution, but it is rarely that straightforward. I’ve got Dr. Wendy Warner with me today, and I am very excited to jump into women’s health and hormones. Dr. Warner is a functional medicine gynecologist and hormone expert who brings decades of experience to this important conversation.She shares her journey from conventional gynecology into functional and integrative medicine, blending herbal medicine, lifestyle strategies, and root-cause healing. Together we unpack the overwhelming and often conflicting advice around HRT, perimenopause, and menopause, as well as the frustration of unexplainable symptoms and the gaps women face when they are only offered prescriptions instead of support. This conversation is about empowering women with real information so you can feel confident navigating hormone changes, reducing confusion, and building a foundation for long-term health.Key TakeawaysHRT is Not a Magic Fix – Hormone replacement therapy can help, but it is not the single answer to every symptom of menopause or perimenopause.Lifestyle is the Foundation – Stress, sleep, blood sugar, and nervous system health must be addressed first for real hormonal balance.Perimenopause Myths – Many women blame every symptom on perimenopause, but often these issues are linked to stress or lifestyle factors.Confusion Around Hormones – Conflicting advice leaves women feeling overwhelmed, which is why clear education and personalized care are essential.Genetics Matter – How your body metabolizes hormones can change how HRT works, making functional testing and personalization important.Menopause as Rebirth – Menopause is a natural transition, not a disease. With the right support, it can be a time of growth and renewed energy.Where to Find Our GuestDr. Wendy Warner’s Website: https://www.wendywarnermd.com/Dr. Wendy Warner on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wendywarnermd/Dr. Wendy Warner on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendywarnermd/Links & Resources🎁  Nook Sauna Sale: Extra $100 Off for Better Sleep & RecoverySauna-curious?

What happens when the unthinkable is your childhood reality? I sat down with Jessica Ella, a women’s trauma expert, speaker, and author, who shares her story of surviving abuse and how she turned her pain into purpose. Jessica talks about her own healing, the courage it took to finally speak up, and the work she now does to support women in finding their own power.This is an honest and brave conversation. Jessica explains how trauma shows up in the body, why healing the nervous system is such an important part of recovery, and how trauma bonds can keep people feeling stuck. Most of all, she shows us what becomes possible when we choose to heal and live free.If this conversation brings up difficult feelings for you, please reach out for support. In Australia, you can contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or visit lifeline.org.au. If you’re listening from somewhere else, please connect with a trusted support service in your local area.Key TakeawaysThe Reality of Abuse – 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 5 boys are sexually abused in childhood, mostly by people they know.Generational Cycles – Abuse and trauma often continue through families, until someone chooses to break it.The Trauma Bond – These strong attachments can feel like love but keep survivors connected to harm.Healing in Layers – Somatic work, subconscious reprogramming, and nervous system repair all matter in recovery.Speaking Out Brings Power – Sharing her story publicly was a turning point in Jessica’s healing.Taking the First Step – Beginning the process is hard, but it leads to freedom and a new way forward.Where to Find Our GuestJessica Ella’s Website: https://www.jessicaella.com.au/Jessica Ella on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamjessicaella/Secret or Surprise: https://www.secretorsurprise.com.au/Links & Resources🎁  Nook Sauna Sale: Extra $100 Off for Better Sleep & RecoverySauna-curious?

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things yet your body still isn’t responding? This conversation with biochemist and health coach Ben Cant is exactly what you need to hear.Ben shares how his own journey out of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia led him into the world of fitness, nutrition, and now, deep consultative health work. We talk about everything from overlooked blood markers to the impact of stress on digestion, why creatine is having a moment in women’s health, and the patience it takes to truly rebuild a gut.I love how Ben blends the science with the practical, showing us why there’s no one-size-fits-all plan and how small, intentional shifts can be the most powerful. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, this episode will bring clarity and direction.Key TakeawaysYour Body is Unique – There’s no universal protocol; what works must be tailored to your needs and stage of life.Blood Work Matters – Simple nutrient deficiencies like zinc, magnesium, or vitamin D are often missed in standard testing.Creatine Isn’t Just for the Gym – Women benefit from creatine for fertility, hormone balance, cognitive health, and beyond.Gut Health is Foundational – Healing digestion supports hormones, immunity, and overall resilience, but it’s a gradual process.Stress Impacts Digestion – Cortisol and nervous system dysregulation directly affect how well we absorb and tolerate food.Plan A, B, and C for Nutrition – Having backup strategies keeps you on track even when life doesn’t go as planned.Where to Find Our GuestBen Cant on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bennylifts/Links & Resources🎁  Nook Sauna Sale: Extra $100 Off for Better Sleep & RecoverySauna-curious?

MIDLAKE The Ghouls - 13/09/25

What happens when the very thing we’ve been told to hide becomes the one thing that unites us? In this conversation with Ali Daddo, we step right into the heart of menopause, shame, and the stories women carry about aging and self-judgment.Ali shares openly about her own transition, from being one of Australia’s most recognized models to becoming an advocate for women’s health. We talk about the symptoms that shook her, the silence that made it harder, and the empowerment that comes from bringing these conversations into the light. This episode is honest, raw, and ultimately a reminder that we are never alone in this experience.Key TakeawaysSelf-Judgment Runs Deep – Many women struggle more with their own judgment than the perception of others as their bodies change.Hormone Education Matters – Understanding what’s happening biologically can ease fear and shame during perimenopause and menopause.Symptoms Can Be Overwhelming – From sleep loss to mental health challenges, menopause affects every aspect of life, and talking about it is key.Support is Under-Resourced – Women in rural and urban areas alike often struggle to access informed care and compassionate practitioners.Partners Play a Role – Men can become allies by learning about menopause and showing up in supportive ways, which strengthens relationships.Self-Care is Essential – Menopause can be the turning point that finally makes women prioritize rest, nutrition, and emotional wellbeing.Where to Find Our GuestAli Daddo’s Website: http://aviiana.com.auAli Daddo on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alidaddo/Links & Resources🎁  Nook Sauna Sale: Extra $100 Off for Better Sleep & RecoverySauna-curious?

Ever grabbed a product off the shelf thinking it was healthy, only to later realise it was packed with junk? Mandy Sacher knows that frustration well.Mandy is Australia’s leading voice in paediatric nutrition, founder of Real Food Rating, and a mother who has turned her passion for truth and transparency into a movement. With more than two decades of experience, she has seen how misleading marketing and outdated guidelines leave families confused and kids unwell. In our chat, Mandy explains how the Health Star rating fails parents, why small swaps at home can change everything, and how her Real Food Rating system is helping families cut through the noise.This conversation is a reminder that the system is broken, but we have the power to make better choices for our kids and support real change.Key TakeawaysFood Marketing Misinformation – Labels and Health Star ratings can trick parents into thinking products are healthy when they are not.Outdated Nutrition Guidelines – Families are still relying on advice based on decade old science.The Cost of Real Food – Healthy options often cost more, and Mandy is pushing for that to change.The Real Food Rating – A new system that looks at additives, processing, and wholefood quality, not just sugar and protein.Creating Change Together – Petitions, education, and collective voices are driving a shift in the food system.Practical Parenting Tips – Small swaps, positive mealtime experiences, and role modeling healthy choices can make a big difference.Where to Find Our GuestMandy Sacher’s Website: https://realfoodrating.com/Mandy Sacher on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mandy_sacher/Real Food Rating on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realfoodrating/Links & Resources🎁  Nook Sauna Sale: Extra $100 Off for Better Sleep & RecoverySauna-curious?

Have you ever wondered if sweating it out in a sauna could actually change how you feel? I used to question it too, until I found myself falling in love with the practice and noticing shifts in my sleep, my stress and even my skin.I share what makes saunas so powerful and why the type you choose really matters. You’ll hear how heat therapy supports your hormones, your energy and your overall sense of wellbeing. I also walk you through the little things that make a big difference like how long to stay in, when to use it around your cycle and what to do before and after so you can get the most from your time in the sauna.Key TakeawaysMitochondrial Support – Infrared saunas boost the energy batteries in your cells so your whole body works better.Detox Pathways – Sweating helps clear waste and supports liver function which is key for hormone health.Stress Reset – Time in the sauna lowers cortisol so your body is not always running in fight or flight.Metabolic Boost – Heat therapy mimics mild cardio and supports insulin sensitivity especially helpful for PCOS.Mood and Sleep – Sauna time lifts serotonin and GABA leaving you calmer and more rested.Body Signals – Pay attention to how you feel across your cycle and adjust your sauna practice to match.Links & Resources🎁  Nook Sauna Sale: Extra $100 Off for Better Sleep & RecoverySauna-curious?

Have you ever felt bone-deep exhaustion that no one could explain? Like your body was begging for help, but your blood tests kept coming back 'normal'? That was McCall McPherson's reality until she discovered the truth about her thyroid.After struggling with debilitating thyroid symptoms and being told her labs were normal, she finally found answers that transformed her health.McCall, founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic, explains why so many thyroid conditions are overlooked, the difference between normal and optimal lab ranges, and the tests that are essential for an accurate diagnosis. She shares how thyroid health connects to hormones, mood, metabolism, and fertility, and offers clear steps women can take to support their thyroid and feel better.Key TakeawaysThyroid Symptoms are Often Missed – Fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, brain fog, anxiety, and depression can all be linked to thyroid issues.Optimal Ranges Matter – Lab ranges are often too broad, and optimal levels provide a more accurate view of thyroid health.Comprehensive Testing is Essential – A full thyroid panel with TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3, and antibodies gives the clearest picture.Thyroid Health is Linked to Hormones – Low thyroid function can disrupt hormone balance, fertility, and the transition through perimenopause.Lifestyle Choices Make a Difference – Managing stress, eating nutrient-dense foods, and addressing inflammation can support thyroid health.Advocating for Yourself is Powerful – Asking for the right tests and seeking informed care can change your quality of life.Where to Find Our GuestMcCall McPherson’s Website: https://www.modernthyroidclinic.com/McCall McPherson on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mccallmcphersonpaMcCall McPherson on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mccallmcpherson The Complete Thyroid Lab Guide: Understand Your Numbers, Take Back Control: https://gift.modernthyroidclinic.com/ Links & Resources🎁  Nook Sauna Sale: Extra $100 Off for Better Sleep & RecoverySauna-curious?

Constant busyness is leaving women’s bodies in a state of chronic stress, and Dr. Libby Weaver calls this Rushing Women’s Syndrome. It’s a pattern that can quietly disrupt digestion, thyroid health, fertility and energy, often without us realising the connection. We explore how this constant state of urgency affects the body and mind, and what it takes to step out of it.This conversation continues from part 1, where we laid the groundwork for understanding these patterns. If you haven’t heard it yet, I recommend starting there — you’ll find the links below.We also look at how caring for others can come at the expense of our own wellbeing, how to notice the traits we push to be known for, and the small shifts that can break that cycle. From there, the conversation moves into perimenopause, showing why symptoms are shaped by far more than just estrogen or progesterone. Dr. Libby explains the role of metabolic health and how to catch the body’s early whispers before they become roars, closing with a reminder about joy and gratitude that can change the tone of your day.Key TakeawaysRushing Women’s Syndrome – A term Dr. Libby created to describe the constant production of stress hormones and their impact on digestion, thyroid, fertility and overall health.‘’Forehead Words’’ Exercise – Identify the traits you want others to see in you and notice how fear of the opposite drives unnecessary stress.Service vs. Servitude – True contribution comes from a place of genuine care not self sacrifice at the cost of health.Perimenopause Perspectives – Changing sex hormones can influence symptoms but metabolic health stress and lifestyle shape the overall experience.Act on the Whisper – Small early signs from the body are invitations to make changes before symptoms become louder and more disruptive.Let Yourself Have What You Already Have – Joy, gratitude and presence are powerful for nervous system health and restoring energy.Where to Find Our GuestDr. Libby Weaver’s Website: https://drlibby.com/Dr. Libby Weaver on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DrLibby/Spotify Link to Part 1: : https://open.spotify.com/episode/0VsxefJgZ9SnosBdO5uAvp?si=d0ad3047254640c6Apple Podcasts Link to Part 1:: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/struggling-with-periods-anxiety-or-hair-loss-fixing/id1319159211?i=1000720940168Links & Resources🎁  Nook Sauna Sale: Extra $100 Off for Better Sleep & RecoverySauna-curious?

What if your anxiety, fatigue, or hair loss isn’t a mindset issue or even a hormone problem?I sat down with the brilliant Dr. Libby Weaver to unpack one of the most overlooked drivers of hormone imbalance, emotional overwhelm, and exhaustion: low iron stores. Dr. Libby is a nutritional biochemist and bestselling author with over 25 years of clinical experience, and she brings a level of clarity and compassion that just lands.We explore why so many women are unknowingly iron-deficient, how low ferritin can mimic anxiety (especially in teens) and what your blood test results might not be telling you. If you’ve ever been told “your iron is normal” but still feel flat, foggy, or fried, this conversation is going to shift everything! Key TakeawaysIron Deficiency Is a Hidden Epidemic – It’s the most common nutritional deficiency in the world, especially among menstruating and stressed women.Low Ferritin Mimics Anxiety – Depleted iron stores can present as panic, restlessness, or mood swings, particularly in teens and postpartum women.“Normal” Iron Doesn’t Mean Optimal – Many blood tests miss low ferritin, which acts like your body’s battery; under 50 can mean deep fatigue.Supplements Aren’t Always the Answer – Whole food-based ferritin iron is more absorbable and gentler than synthetic or infused alternatives.Investigate the Root Cause – Heavy periods, poor gut absorption, and hidden deficiencies often drive persistent low iron levels.Iron Fuels Hormonal Harmony – From thyroid function to estrogen balance and emotional resilience, iron underpins your entire hormonal ecosystem.Where to Find Our GuestDr. Libby’s Website: https://drlibby.comDr. Libby on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DrLibby/Links & Resources🌿 Nook Sauna Sale: Extra $100 Off for Better Sleep & RecoverySauna-curious?

What if the hardest parts of parenting aren't about your child at all but about your own past asking to be seen?This conversation with Lael Stone cracked something open for me and I know it will for you too. Lael has spent over 20 years walking with families through birth, early childhood, the teen years and beyond. Her work gently but powerfully invites us to stop asking how to fix our kids and start asking how to meet them with more awareness and less of our own baggage. We talked about the parts of mothering that don’t always feel good, how to spot when you’re reacting from your wounds, and how to raise conscious, connected kids without abandoning yourself.Lael is a TEDx speaker, parenting educator, and founder of Woodline Primary School. She’s the author of “Raising Resilient and Compassionate Children” and her brand new book “Own Your Story” is now available. It’s a powerful guide to healing the imprints of your past so you can show up with clarity, confidence and compassion for yourself and the people you love.You can grab your copy here:https://www.panmacmillan.com.au/9781761269424/?v=5e9c52c6d618Key TakeawaysOur Kids Reflect Our Past – Triggers in parenting are often tied to unhealed childhood experiences we haven’t yet exploredConnection Creates Cooperation – Children are more willing to listen when they feel seen safe and emotionally supportedPerfect Parenting Is a Myth – You don’t have to love every phase of motherhood to be deeply connected to your kidsHealing Starts With Awareness – Your reactions are invitations to pause, reflect and shift old imprints into conscious choicesLetting Go Is Built In – Parenting is a long unfolding of trust and surrender as your children grow into themselvesThere’s No Fixing Needed - We are all works in progress and the goal is never perfection just deeper honesty and careWhere to Find Our GuestLael Stone’s Website: https://www.laelstone.com.auLael Stone on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laelstone/Lael Stone on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laelstone/Links & Resources📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis🌿 Join NK x The Membership – Your Wellness Sanctuary!Created by me to help women reclaim their body wisdom with expert support, exclusive resources, and a like-minded community.✨ What’s Inside?✔ Early access to new Masterclasses & Challenges✔ Unlimited access to 20+ Masterclasses & 25+ free ebooks✔ VIP perks—events, expert Q&As & private community✔ 20% off practitioner-grade supplements✔ Direct access to Nat via live Q&As & Facebook chat💖 Join today & take charge of your health!👉 Sign Up Now: https://natkringoudis.thrivecart.com/the-membership-x-nat-kringoudis/🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment!

What if your health challenges were signals, not setbacks? What if the turning point wasn’t the diagnosis, but the decision to trust your instincts?In this grounded and powerful conversation, I’m joined by clinical nutritionist Katherine Hay. Katherine’s work in gut health, hormones, fertility, and women’s wellbeing is shaped by her own lived experience. Diagnosed with PCOS in her teens and later with Stage 4 endometriosis in 2022, she spent years navigating symptoms that were overlooked or dismissed. Her story is one of deep self-trust, persistent advocacy, and a clear-eyed view of what women are still up against in today’s medical model.Katherine has become one of Australia’s most trusted voices in clinical nutrition. Through her work at Kaptured Nutrition and her supplement line, All Things Better, she supports women across every life stage—from preconception through postpartum—with care that’s clear, effective, and deeply informed. We talk IVF, supplement standards, nervous system support, and why foundations like food and rest still matter most. This is a conversation about healing, but also about staying curious, choosing clarity, and remembering that your body is always speaking.Key TakeawaysHormonal Symptoms Deserve Answers – Period pain, fatigue, and mood swings aren't random. They’re signs your body needs support.Endometriosis Requires Advocacy – Misdiagnosis is common. Katherine’s journey shows how vital it is to trust your gut and push for proper care.IVF Is a Whole-Body Journey – Fertility struggles impact more than the physical. Nervous system support, nutrition, and mindset matter.Supplements Should Be Effective, Not Just Popular – Most prenatal vitamins are underdosed or poorly absorbed. Therapeutic formulations change everything.Nutrition Heals from the Root – Gut health, mineral balance, and foundational nutrition are essential for hormone balance and fertility.Even Practitioners Burn Out – Helping others doesn’t mean you're immune to depletion. Katherine shares how seeking help became her turning point.Where to Find Our GuestKatherine Hay on IG: https://www.instagram.com/katherine_hay_nutritionistAll Things Better supplements: https://www.allthingsbetter.com.auKaptured Nutrition: https://www.kapturednutrition.com.auLinks & Resources📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis🌿 Join NK x The Membership – Your Wellness Sanctuary!Created by me to help women reclaim their body wisdom with expert support, exclusive resources, and a like-minded community.✨ What’s Inside?✔ Early access to new Masterclasses & Challenges✔ Unlimited access to 20+ Masterclasses & 25+ free ebooks✔ VIP perks—events, expert Q&As & private community✔ 20% off practitioner-grade supplements✔ Direct access to Nat via live Q&As & Facebook chat💖 Join today & take charge of your health!👉 Sign Up Now: https://natkringoudis.thrivecart.com/the-membership-x-nat-kringoudis/🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment!

This week, I’m walking you through something you’ve asked about for a long time—what a day in my life actually looks like. I’m sharing the rhythms, rituals, and real choices I lean on to support my hormones, energy, and clarity.My days vary, but they’re shaped with intention. I talk about the supplements that help me feel steady, how I organize my week to focus on clinic, content, and creativity, and why mornings are my favorite time of day. I also reflect on the ways I check in with myself emotionally, the value of protein and movement, and what I’ve learned about prioritizing what matters most. I hope it gives you a few ideas to explore what works for you, too.Key TakeawaysStart with Presence – Mornings begin with herbal tea, lemon, and bitters to gently activate digestion and bring focus.Structure in Themes – Organizing days by focus (clinic, content, brand, Embody) helps maintain flow and purpose.Supplements That Make a Difference – Creatine, fish oil, zinc, vitamin E, and probiotics are key players in Nat’s current support stack.Weight Training and Protein Matter – Prioritizing strength and nourishment brings steadiness and supports hormone health.Create Space to Reset – Pausing between 9 and 10 AM and starting Mondays slowly helps maintain energy and clarity across the week.Stay Emotionally Aware – Checking in with your body and emotions creates space to respond intentionally rather than react on autopilot.Links & ResourcesTake 20% off your order at https://mypause.com with code NAT20 — curated wellness tools to support your cycle, hormones, and daily balance.📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis

What do you do when you’re high-functioning on the outside but falling apart inside? In this episode, I’m joined by Kathryn Carter, whose story stopped me in my tracks. She was leading teams, raising a family, traveling for work, and then found herself sobbing in a change room because they didn’t have her size. That moment cracked something open.Kathryn shares what it was like to experience perimenopause without knowing it. Years of symptoms she brushed off as stress, including brain fog, overwhelm, and emotional outbursts that didn’t make sense at the time. Together we explore why so many women are caught off guard, how early it can start, and the emotional cost of not being prepared. This one is raw, real, and a reminder that perimenopause isn’t something you deal with later. It’s already happening for so many of us, and we deserve better conversations now.Key TakeawaysPerimenopause starts earlier than you think – Many women begin experiencing symptoms in their 30s without realizing it.Invisible symptoms are real – Brain fog, emotional swings, and fatigue are often overlooked or dismissed.It’s not just stress – Many women misread hormonal shifts as personal failure or mental burnout.Silence is costing us – Most women aren’t talking about perimenopause with their mothers, partners, or doctors.We need new norms – It’s time to educate ourselves and the next generation about every life stage, not just puberty or pregnancy.You’re not alone – Sharing our stories is the first step in feeling seen, heard, and supported.Where to Find Our GuestKathryn Carter’s Website: https://mypause.comKathryn Carter on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mypause.health/Kathryn Carter on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathryn-carter-6b053813/Links & ResourcesTake 20% off your order at https://mypause.com with code NAT20 — curated wellness tools to support your cycle, hormones, and daily balance.📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis

What if the reason you feel tired, anxious, or like your health habits just aren’t working anymore… isn’t you? It’s your biology. In this episode, I sit down with clinical nutritionist and women’s health advocate Sally O’Neil to talk about the major shifts that happen in our 30s and 40s—and why most wellness advice doesn’t account for it.Sally opens up about her own healing journey from food obsession and burnout to building a balanced life that actually feels good. We unpack why popular trends like fasting, cold plunges, and high-intensity training might be backfiring on your hormones, and what to focus on instead.If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” and still not getting results, this conversation will feel like the relief you didn’t know you needed.Key TakeawaysHormone shifts change everything – What worked in your 20s likely won’t serve your body after 35.Cold plunges can spike cortisol – For many women, especially over 35, they may do more harm than good.Food is fuel, not the enemy – Undereating is one of the most common reasons women feel exhausted and dysregulated.Fasted training isn’t helping – Especially for women, eating before you train can improve energy, mood, and results.Strength training is essential – It’s the most protective thing you can do for your bones, metabolism, and brain as you age.It’s not about looking 20 again – It’s about building a strong, healthy body that supports you in this season of life.Where to Find Our GuestSally O’Neil’s Website: https://www.status8020.comSally O’Neil on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sallyoneilStatus 8020 on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/status.8020Sally O’Neil on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thefitfoodieblog/Links & ResourcesTake 20% off your order at https://mypause.com with code NAT20 — curated wellness tools to support your cycle, hormones, and daily balance.📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis

And for the first time, she shares what the cameras didn’t show: the pain, the patterns, and the power of finally choosing herself.Whether you're navigating your own body story, battling burnout, or trying to rewrite your inner narrative, this one’s for you. Key TakeawaysBinge eating recovery is possible – Ella shares how her five-year struggle began to unravel when she finally slowed down during Covid.Body image starts in the mind – The real work was about how she felt in her body, not how it looked.The spotlight doesn’t fix you – Fame magnified Ella’s insecurities but also forced her to confront them.Covid became a catalyst – Isolation gave her space to reflect, seek help, and start again.Self-worth changed everything – From who she dated to what she ate, Ella’s healing came from within.You can reinvent yourself – Publicly or privately, it’s never too late to grow, shift, and become more you.Where to Find Our GuestElla May Ding’s Website: https://ellamayding.com.auElla May Ding on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellamayding/Links & ResourcesTake 20% off your order at https://mypause.com with code NAT20 — curated wellness tools to support your cycle, hormones, and daily balance.📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment!

What if the very thing you've been taught to fear is actually key to healing?This episode is a mind-opening conversation with Tania de Jong, a social entrepreneur, performer, and founder of Mind Medicine Australia. Tania shares her unbelievable story: a woman who never touched drugs, never got drunk, and yet found herself stepping into the world of psychedelics for healing. We get honest about the broken mental health system, the trauma we carry (including intergenerational wounds), and why ancient medicines are finding their rightful place in modern healing. Tania doesn’t just talk theory, she walks us through the science, and what it’s taken to bring psychedelic therapy into the mainstream in Australia.If you've ever felt let down by conventional treatments, or you're searching for hope in the darkest corners of anxiety, PTSD, or depression, this is one conversation you don’t want to miss.Key TakeawaysPsychedelics as Medicine – Plant medicines like psilocybin and MDMA offer profound healing far beyond conventional treatments.The Power of One Dose – Just 2–3 carefully administered psychedelic therapy sessions can produce up to 80% remission in depression and PTSD.Healing Through Connection – The root of many mental illnesses is disconnection; psychedelics work by restoring a deep sense of unity with self and others.Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science – These aren't new solutions—they're ancient healing tools finally supported by today’s research.The Mental Health Crisis is Real – One in four Australians suffers from mental illness, and traditional approaches are often falling short.Hope is Here – Legal, safe psychedelic therapy is now available in Australia—and it's already transforming lives.Where to Find Our GuestMind Medicine Australia: https://www.mindmedicineaustralia.org/Tania de Jong's Website: https://www.taniadejong.comTania de Jong's IG: https://www.instagram.com/taniadejongam/Tania de Jong's LinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/taniadejongLinks & Resources📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis🌿 Join NK x The Membership – Your Wellness Sanctuary!Created by me to help women reclaim their body wisdom with expert support, exclusive resources, and a like-minded community.✨ What’s Inside?✔ Early access to new Masterclasses & Challenges✔ Unlimited access to 20+ Masterclasses & 25+ free ebooks✔ VIP perks—events, expert Q&As & private community✔ 20% off practitioner-grade supplements✔ Direct access to Nat via live Q&As & Facebook chat💖 Join today & take charge of your health!👉 Sign Up Now: https://natkringoudis.thrivecart.com/the-membership-x-nat-kringoudis/🔎 Take Our Free Hormone QuizNot feeling like yourself?

After being diagnosed with premature menopause, going through failed IVF rounds, and sitting with the grief of it all, Jennifer Edmonds was told her chances of having another baby were close to none. But her body had other plans.During the stillness of lockdown, Jennifer stumbled across fertility yoga. She wasn’t chasing results anymore. She was simply giving herself permission to pause. What followed was a profound shift in her health, her nervous system, and eventually a natural pregnancy she never thought possible. We talked about medical misdiagnosis, cortisol, trauma, and how powerful it can be to tune back into the rhythms of your own body.For any woman who’s ever felt like the system has failed her, or her body has let her down, Jennifer’s story is one of possibility, self-trust, and unexpected healing.Key TakeawaysMisdiagnosis Isn’t the End – Jennifer was told she was in menopause, but her body proved otherwise once it had the space and support to heal.Nervous System First – Chronic stress, insomnia, and hormone imbalance all began to shift when Jennifer focused on calming her nervous system.Fertility Yoga with Purpose – Matching movement to each phase of the cycle helped regulate hormones, improve sleep, and bring the body back into rhythm.Doing Less to Heal More – Letting go of constant appointments, supplements, and pressure gave her body room to do what it was designed to do.Safety Over Strategy – It wasn’t another protocol that worked—it was the embodied feeling of safety that allowed her body to conceive.From Pressure to Possibility – When she stopped pushing and surrendered to presence, the path to natural conception became clear.Where to Find Our GuestJennifer’s Website: https://www.elementpilatesyoga.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jen.elementpilatesyoga/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@elementpilatesandyogaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7OGYIuCxwJgH4KuaW1Jq4wLinks & Resources📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis🌿 Join NK x The Membership – Your Wellness Sanctuary!Created by me to help women reclaim their body wisdom with expert support, exclusive resources, and a like-minded community.✨ What’s Inside?✔ Early access to new Masterclasses & Challenges✔ Unlimited access to 20+ Masterclasses & 25+ free ebooks✔ VIP perks—events, expert Q&As & private community✔ 20% off practitioner-grade supplements✔ Direct access to Nat via live Q&As & Facebook chat💖 Join today & take charge of your health!👉 Sign Up Now: https://natkringoudis.thrivecart.com/the-membership-x-nat-kringoudis/🔎 Take Our Free Hormone QuizNot feeling like yourself?

You’ve been told your hormone blood tests are “normal,” but you still feel exhausted, bloated, moody, or just plain off. So... what gives?In this solo episode, I’m breaking down exactly why conventional blood testing often fails to give women real answers about their hormone health. If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s office with results that don’t match how you actually feel, this conversation is for you. I’ll walk you through the common gaps in standard testing, how reference ranges are outdated, and why your symptoms matter more than the numbers on a lab report.It’s time to stop settling for confusion. You deserve better answers, and it starts with asking the right questions, and knowing what kind of testing will really support your healing.Key TakeawaysYour symptoms speak louder than your labs – How you feel is always more important than what the paper says.Standard blood tests miss key hormones – Many GPs only order basic panels, skipping critical markers like progesterone, T3, and thyroid antibodies.Outdated reference ranges distort results – Most labs still use old ranges, especially for thyroid, leaving many women misdiagnosed or ignored.You can ask for better testing – Functional ranges and cycle-aware hormone testing reveal far more than generic bloodwork.Test timing makes or breaks results – Day 21 or 7 days post-ovulation is ideal for sex hormone testing; thyroid should be tested consistently at the same time.Invest in the right eyes – Independent labs and expert interpretation are often the only way to get real clarity about your hormones.Links & Resources📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis🌿 Join NK x The Membership – Your Wellness Sanctuary!Created by me to help women reclaim their body wisdom with expert support, exclusive resources, and a like-minded community.✨ What’s Inside?✔ Early access to new Masterclasses & Challenges✔ Unlimited access to 20+ Masterclasses & 25+ free ebooks✔ VIP perks—events, expert Q&As & private community✔ 20% off practitioner-grade supplements✔ Direct access to Nat via live Q&As & Facebook chat💖 Join today & take charge of your health!👉 Sign Up Now: https://natkringoudis.thrivecart.com/the-membership-x-nat-kringoudis/🔎 Take Our Free Hormone QuizNot feeling like yourself?

Let’s talk about the supplement industry—and why so much of it is failing women.In this raw, uplifting and incredibly educational conversation, I’m joined by Sheridan Joy Austin, the beautiful mind and founder behind Foraged For You, to dive into what it really takes to nourish our bodies—especially in pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause. Sheridan opens up about how her own unexpected pregnancy revealed the gaps in prenatal nutrition and how that led to the creation of her now cult-favourite wholefood blend, The Mother’s Blend. We talk liver, folate, iron, vitamin A, and why isolating nutrients in synthetic supplements often creates more harm than good. Sheridan shares her journey of bringing a product to life with true integrity, the resistance she’s faced, and why she refuses to cut corners—even when the wellness industry tells her to.This episode is for any woman who’s ever questioned her supplements, felt overwhelmed by mixed health advice, or just wants to understand how to truly fuel her body with the wisdom of nature.Key TakeawaysWhy real food always wins—how nutrient-dense ingredients like liver and kelp naturally support pregnancy, postpartum, and hormone recovery better than synthetics.What your supplements aren’t telling you—why isolating nutrients like folic acid or iron can backfire without their critical co-factors like vitamin A, copper, and magnesium.How to read the fine print—what hidden fillers like maltodextrin and silicon dioxide are doing to your gut, and how to choose products with real integrity.Why iron deficiency might not be about iron—how symptoms like fatigue and poor immunity may be rooted in deeper imbalances most blood tests don’t show.The truth about vitamin A in pregnancy—why liver-based vitamin A isn’t the enemy, and what the research really says about birth defects and deficiency risks.Where to Find Our GuestFollow Sheridan at https://www.instagram.com/sheridanjoyaustinExplore Foraged For You at https://www.instagram.com/foragedforyou_Links & Resources📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis🌿 Join NK x The Membership – Your Wellness Sanctuary!Created by me to help women reclaim their body wisdom with expert support, exclusive resources, and a like-minded community.✨ What’s Inside?✔ Early access to new Masterclasses & Challenges✔ Unlimited access to 20+ Masterclasses & 25+ free ebooks✔ VIP perks—events, expert Q&As & private community✔ 20% off practitioner-grade supplements✔ Direct access to Nat via live Q&As & Facebook chat💖 Join today & take charge of your health!👉 Sign Up Now: https://natkringoudis.thrivecart.com/the-membership-x-nat-kringoudis/🔎 Take Our Free Hormone QuizNot feeling like yourself?
