Still tired, inflamed, and not getting real answers? This episode might change how you think about your health.In this episode of The True Form Podcast, I sit down with Dr Kevin Smith, a functional medicine practitioner with over 25 years of practice, to explore why so many people treat symptoms without ever asking what's actually driving them.We go deep on thyroid health, chronic inflammation, blood sugar, supplements, wearable technology, GLP-1s, and the root-cause framework that changes how you think about your body.If you've ever felt tired, foggy, inflamed, or as if something is off but can't pinpoint why, this conversation is worth your time.In this episode:Why treating symptoms is not the same as solving the problemWhat's often missed when it comes to thyroid health and testingHow chronic inflammation may be connected to more than you realiseWhy blood sugar regulation matters beyond diabetesHow to think about supplements, wearables, and health trackingThe fundamentals that still matter most: food, hydration, sleep, movement, and stressNote: This conversation explores ideas and questions worth considering.

Kelly O'Brien spent 15 years climbing the corporate ladder while quietly navigating three years of IVF, 14 rounds of treatment, stage four endometriosis, pregnancy loss, and the emotional weight of holding it all together in a high-pressure, male-dominated industry.Then, after an IVF procedure, she experienced a life-threatening medical emergency. Internal bleeding. Emergency surgery. Blood transfusions. Six days in ICU.This is not a story about bouncing back.It's about what happens when you stop trying to return to who you were and start building something more honest instead.Kelly and I talk about what resilience actually looks like after real trauma, why emotional suppression is so common in high achievers, how she rebuilt her identity after her career and her body both broke down at the same time, and why the life she has now is more aligned than anything she had planned.If you've been through burnout, a health crisis, fertility challenges, grief, or a major life change, and you're trying to work out who you are on the other side, this one's for you.In This Episode:🔸 What resilience really means after trauma.🔸 Why “bouncing back” isn’t always the goal.🔸 Kelly’s experience with IVF, endometriosis and pregnancy loss.🔸 The emotional cost of hiding pain while leading others.🔸 Corporate burnout and the pressure to appear strong.🔸 How a near-death experience changed Kelly’s life.🔸 Why trauma recovery is not linear.🔸 The importance of finding the right psychologist or support person.🔸 How movement, sauna, red light therapy, massage and connection helped Kelly rebuild.🔸 Why sometimes healing means creating a completely new life.Connect with Kelly:[email protected] IG: https://www.instagram.com/this_is_elysium_wellness?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Support the showWant to put what you just heard into practice?

Why your body isn’t the problem, and how to start listening to itWhat does it actually mean to be healthy?In this episode of The True Form Podcast, I sit down with Erica Ballard to unpack why so many people feel like they’re doing everything right: eating well, training consistently, and trying to stay disciplined… yet still feel tired, stuck, or disconnected from their body.Erica shares her personal journey of struggling with weight, bloating, and low energy despite following conventional health advice, and how that led her to rethink what health actually looks like completely.We explore how most people have never clearly defined what “being healthy” means for their own life, and instead end up chasing weight loss, routines, or habits that aren’t connected to how they actually want to feel.This conversation goes beyond surface-level advice and dives into the deeper drivers of health, including the nervous system, belief patterns, and the signals your body is constantly giving you.We also break down:🔸 Why losing weight isn’t the real goal (and what actually is).🔸 How symptoms like fatigue, poor sleep, and inconsistency are signals, not failures.🔸 Why willpower isn’t the problem when it comes to building healthy habits.🔸 How to start listening to your body and working with it instead of against it.🔸 What sustainable, aligned health actually looks like in real life.If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not getting the results you want, this episode will give you a completely different way to look at your health.Connect with Erica: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericaballard/ Here is my free download: https://erica-ballard.myflodesk.com/feelgoodguide Want the quick takeaways?

Why do so many people achieve success… yet still feel lost?In this episode of The True Form Podcast, I sit down with impact investor, leadership mentor, and author Florian Kemmerich to explore why burnout often has less to do with workload and more to do with misalignment between who we are and how we live.Florian shares insights from his journey through elite sport, high-pressure leadership, and impact investing, and how years of success eventually forced him to confront a deeper question: What happens when the life you’ve built no longer reflects who you truly are?We talk about the hidden cost of chasing society’s definition of success, the difference between helping and serving, and why many high performers experience burnout when their identity, values, and profession fall out of alignment.Florian also introduces his 7-step “vocating” framework, designed to help people reconnect with their purpose and align their work with who they actually are.If you’ve ever felt successful on paper but uncertain about your direction, this conversation will give you a new way to think about purpose, stress, and meaningful work.In this episode, we discuss:🔷 Why burnout often comes from misalignment, not workload. 🔷 The difference between success and true vocation. 🔷 How stress can be a signal that something deeper is off. 🔷 The role identity plays in long-term fulfilment.🔷A practical framework for aligning purpose with profession. 🔷 Why many high performers feel lost despite external success.About Florian KemmerichFlorian Kemmerich is an impact investor, leadership mentor, and author of On Vocation: How to Align Your Purpose with Your Profession. His work focuses on helping individuals and leaders align how they live and work with who they truly are, so performance becomes sustainable and meaningful.Website https://www.on-vocation.comLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/floriankemmerichWant the quick takeaways?

A conversation with Kristine Genovese on stress, emotion, purpose, and the deeper patterns shaping health.Many people are doing all the “right” things for their health, training consistently, eating well, managing their routines... yet still feel stuck, disconnected, or out of alignment.In this conversation, I sit down with Kristine Genovese, creator of the Soul Intelligence method, to explore what might be missing beneath the surface. We talk about the role of stress and emotion in the body, how unprocessed experiences can shape behaviour and physical health, and why inner alignment may be just as important as discipline and consistency.This episode isn’t about quick fixes or replacing medical care. It’s an exploration of awareness, self-connection, and simple practices that help people better understand what their body and nervous system are communicating, so health becomes more intentional, sustainable, and personal.Work with Kristine GenoveseWebsite: www.soulintelligencemethod.com My book--https://bit.ly/soul-intelligence-book-amazon It's also available on Kindle & Audible https://bit.ly/soul-intelligence-book-audible00:00 Why “doing everything right” still doesn’t always work06:30 What we mean by inner alignment (and why it matters)13:45 Stress, emotion, and the body’s hidden signals22:30 The idea behind Soul Intelligence33:00 A simple exercise to feel alignment in real time45:30 Self-care, boundaries, and letting go of “shoulds”56:30 Integrating inner work with everyday health habits #podcast #inneralignment #healthandhealing #mindbodyconnectionSupport the showWant to put what you just heard into practice?

What if everything you’ve been told about foot pain, footwear, and insoles is wrong?In this episode of The True Form Podcast, Jack sits down with podiatrist and biomechanics specialist Thien Trinh to unpack the messy truth about foot pain, plantar fasciitis, barefoot shoes, and why the footwear and medical industries keep getting it wrong.Thien is not your typical podiatrist. From growing up in a refugee family to appearing on Shark Tank, he’s built a mission-driven business around one core idea: if you fix the foundation, you change the whole system. That means rethinking the way we walk, the shoes we wear, the insoles we’re sold, and how chronic foot pain is treated across the board.We cover everything from gait retraining and chronic pain to integrity in business, copycat products, and why he’s betting everything on designing a new kind of shoe for the modern world.If you care about long-term health, movement, and actually being able to walk pain-free as you age, this episode will change the way you think about your feet.In This Episode, We Discuss:- Why feet are the most neglected part of modern health- How walking is a skill most of us were never taught- Why the “soft cushioning fixes pain” story is deeply flawed- The truth about plantar fasciitis and chronic foot pain- Barefoot vs cushioning: what the barefoot movement gets right (and wrong)- Why most orthotics are over-rigid, expensive, and misused- How cork-based insoles can support natural mechanics instead of splinting the foot- Thien’s family story: refugee roots, integrity, and entrepreneurship- What Shark Tank changed about his life, confidence, and mission- The problem with copycat products and surface-level marketing- Why he doesn’t charge for follow-ups and still reads every reviewHis upcoming footwear line and how he’s designing shoes for real human movement on modern surfacesAbout Thien TrinhThien Trinh is an Australian podiatrist and biomechanics specialist who has spent almost two decades treating chronic foot pain in-clinic. Frustrated by the failure of conventional orthotics and footwear to address root causes, he began hand-building his own cork-based insoles and ultimately took his solution to Shark Tank. Today, he creates education, products, and soon footwear, all built around one aim: helping people walk, move, and live without being controlled by foot pain.Support the showWant to put what you just heard into practice?

In this episode, I sit down with Tez, a Vietnamese-Australian optometrist, eldest daughter of immigrant parents, and someone who has rebuilt her life more than once.We talk about what it really feels like to “start again” in your 30s, not from a place of failure, but from a deep knowing that the life you were living was no longer true to who you are.Tez shares the story of ending her engagement, navigating cultural and family expectations, building a business from scratch, and ultimately choosing to let it all go when it no longer aligned. We explore what happens when self-trust breaks, how to rebuild it slowly, and how to recognise the difference between staying because you’re scared to leave… or leaving because you’re finally ready to choose yourself.This is a conversation about the quiet turning points.The ones no one applauds.The ones that change everything.If you’ve ever felt like you’re “supposed” to have it all figured out by now or that you’ve built a life that looks right from the outside but doesn’t feel right on the inside, this one will meet you exactly where you are.Connect with Tez: @teatalkswithtez @eyelaboptometristWant the quick takeaways?Read the blog post for a full breakdown of the episode. https://podcast.trueformpodcast.com/blog🎧 Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube or wherever you listen to your podcasts. Watch me on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/3CNb3cdaJDQ Support the showWant to put what you just heard into practice?

We often think our goals are our own, until we realise they’re not.In this clip, Vahid Coskun breaks down why chasing a goal like weight loss or strength often fails when the “why” behind it comes from someone else. Whether it's a partner, a parent, or society, if your reason is outsourced, your commitment won’t last.Real change starts when your goals are aligned with your identity, not someone else’s expectations.This moment will challenge how you think about motivation, self-worth, and why you haven’t stuck with that plan (yet).Support the showWant to put what you just heard into practice?

In this episode of The True Form Podcast, I sit down with Vahid Coskun—mindfulness therapist, lifestyle coach, and author of Practice Beyond the Posture—to explore the deeper layers of health, presence, and self-mastery.Vahid shares how the physical practice of yoga is just the entry point to something far more powerful: learning to stay with yourself through discomfort, rewiring your nervous system, and reclaiming your attention in a world designed to fragment it.We discuss:Why most of our suffering stems from how we relate to stress—not the stress itselfThe link between nervous system regulation and emotional resilienceHow the inner dialogue during yoga mirrors our default patterns in lifeWhat it really means to “stay in charge of who you are”Practical tools for breathwork, awareness, and mindfulness in daily lifeHow Vahid blends science and spirituality into a grounded, human path to healingThis is a deep, calming, and profoundly insightful conversation for anyone seeking more clarity, stillness, and purpose—on or off the mat.Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or brand new to yoga, Vahid’s approach will help you reconnect with your breath, your body, and your truth.Connect with Vahid:  Website: https://www.wellnessassemblyservices.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/acoskun/ His Book: https://a.co/d/3uSQPOG 🎧 Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube or wherever you listen to your podcasts. Watch me on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/1n7EaD6-h8U Listen to the True From Podcast https://trueform.buzzsprout.com  Follow me on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/jack.lgraham?igsh=Y2tranE0NDJjN2gz&utm_source=qrSupport the showWant to put what you just heard into practice?

In this episode, we unpack one of the most misunderstood concepts in modern life: resilience. Is it about being unbreakable, stoic, and hard as nails—or is that just what social media tells us?Our guest draws from decades of experience across psychology, community health, and academia to challenge the "brick wall" definition of resilience. Instead, we explore it as a dynamic capability—something shaped by adaptability, awareness, genetics, and environment.From Darwinian biology and epigenetics to the pressures of growing up in a post-social media world, this conversation dives deep into:Why young people face a different kind of resilience challenge todayHow true resilience is more about bending than breakingThe origins of the term ‘resilience’ and how it's been misusedWhat makes individuals, families, and even businesses more resilientWhy your environment might switch genes on or off—and what that means for your mental healthWhether you're a parent, coach, teacher, or someone navigating a tough season, this episode offers a grounded, empowering take on what it really means to be resilient in 2025.Support the showWant to put what you just heard into practice?

Childhood mental health issues are rising — but what’s really going on beneath the surface?“We’re pathologising kids before we’re listening to them.”In this episode of The True Form Podcast, I sit down with Professor Kosmas Smyrnios — a former child and adolescent psychotherapist turned academic — to unpack what’s really happening with the rise in childhood mental health issues.With over 30 years of experience in psychotherapy, research, and education, Professor Smyrnios brings a rare dual lens: clinical depth and academic insight.We explore:– Why emotional distress in kids is often mislabelled as a disorder– How modern systems are failing both children and parents– What’s changed in diagnosis and treatment across generations– Why safety, connection, and presence matter more than ever– What parents, educators, and practitioners need to rethinkFrom community mental health centres to lecture halls, Professor Smyrnios has guided families, taught students, and mentored over 30 PhD candidates. His work connects therapy, entrepreneurship, and systems thinking, and this conversation might change the way you think about childhood altogether.🎧 Watch or listen now — and share it with someone raising or working with children.Get access to the show notes, studies and documents via the community: https://podcast.trueformpodcast.com/true-form-community Watch me on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/z2V8cy4C2GsSupport the showWant to put what you just heard into practice?

Trigger warning: This episode contains discussions of trauma, disordered eating, and suicidal thoughts. If you're struggling, please seek support. —“You can lose the weight, but still carry the pain.”In this powerful episode of The True Form Podcast, I sit down with Sammie Lee—a highly respected Eating Disorder and Trauma-Informed Specialist, author, coach, and speaker—whose mission is to dismantle stigma, shift societal narratives, and guide people back to their worth.Sammie shares her raw and personal story—from childhood trauma and food addiction to extreme weight loss and the long road to healing.

If you've ever struggled with shame, self-worth, or the pressure to “fix” your body, Sammie’s wisdom will shift how you see weight, healing, and what it means to truly come home to yourself.Connect with Sammie LeeInstagram: @sammieeeee.leeBook a call: https://calendly.com/sammielee-fuckthebodystandardsBook Sammie Lee as a speaker: https://www.crowdpleaser.com.au/Sammie-Lee-From-Ashes-To-AudacityWatch me on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/PdAvNStOTcEFollow me on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/jack.lgraham?igsh=Y2tranE0NDJjN2gz&utm_source=qrSupport the showWant to put what you just heard into practice?

Is high cholesterol really dangerous? Or have we misunderstood it all along?In this clip from my conversation with Dr. Avi Charlton—Melbourne GP, breathwork coach, and founder of the Melbourne Low Carb Clinic—we break down the truth about cholesterol.Dr. Charlton explains why cholesterol is essential for your health, what your LDL levels really mean, and why lifestyle factors like stress, sugar, and processed oils may be a bigger problem than fat in your diet.We also discuss what most doctors miss, the problem with outdated cholesterol tests, and why you don’t necessarily need statins—especially if you're metabolically healthy.👉 This episode is a must-watch if you’ve ever been confused about cholesterol, told to fear saturated fat, or pressured to go on meds despite feeling great.🔗 Connect with Dr. Avi Charltonwww.mlcclinic.com.au www.breatheinhealth.com.au https://sites.libsyn.com/522348/site Dr Charlton Lifestyle GP https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738752807  on Facebook@dr_charlton_lifestyle GP https://www.instagram.com/dr_charlton_lifestyle_gp/ on InstagramAvi Charlton https://www.linkedin.com/in/avi-charlton/ on LinkedInDr Charlton Lifestyle GP https://youtube.com/@avicharlton?si=GI8vQOQ_CJ9N5PwW  on YouTube🎧 Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & right here on YouTube.Watch me on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/boN3kYTpazkListen to the True From Podcast https://trueform.buzzsprout.com Follow me on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/jack.lgraham?igsh=Y2tranE0NDJjN2gz&utm_source=qrSupport the showWant to put what you just heard into practice?

A friend said this during a conversation about finance, but I couldn’t stop thinking about how much it applies to health and fitness:“The grass is always greener when it’s fertilised with crap.”And look, the health and fitness industry? It’s full of crap. Advice is everywhere—every influencer, every program, every quick fix promising the ultimate result. Yes, I get the irony: I’m here giving advice on social media too. But stay with me.Here’s the difference: In finance, bad advice can wreck your bank account. In health? Even the "crappy" advice—most of it still encourages you to move your body and eat better. And that will help you live a longer, healthier, happier life.No one is seriously out here saying:“Sit on the couch all day, eat junk, and watch Netflix—that’s the path to peak health.”So while everyone’s offering their own spin—HIIT vs. Pilates, low carb vs. plant-based—the message underneath is the same: Move your body. Eat real food. Avoid ultra-processed junk.That’s it. Simple. Effective. Universal.The trick? Find the version of that advice—the “crap”—that works for you. Because consistency beats perfection every time.Support the showWant to put what you just heard into practice?

Every time I talk about this, people think I’m targeting them directly. I’m not.This is a pattern I’ve seen over and over—coaching people in person, online, and in myself: The confusion between what we want and what we need.When you're trying to build new habits or improve your health, your old self starts whispering in your ear:“You need a break. You need that treat. You need to skip today.”But do you really need it? Or do you just want it—because it’s easier, more comfortable, or what you’ve always done?This shows up all the time in the language people use. A client says, “I need a rest day.” So I ask: “Do you need one—or do you just want one?”There’s nothing wrong with rest—but let’s be honest about what rest actually is. It’s not a day of Netflix and UberEats. It’s still movement. Still nourishment. Still aligned with your goals.So the next time you catch yourself saying, “I need…” —“I need that dessert.” —“I need to skip today’s workout.” —“I need to stay up and binge this show.”Pause. Ask yourself: Is this a need—or just a want? Because left unchecked, those wants disguised as needs will quietly pull you away from the life you’re trying to build.Support the showWant to put what you just heard into practice?
