Quotes
It’s important to respect each other’s different opinions and know when to pick your battles
Unless someone asks for help, I don’t offer it
Simplify as much as possible in your world
I had somewhat of a spiritual awakening in connection to the Universe
I could be really sad, cross and bitter or double down on my self-care and get through this time
Relatively speaking I chose to get through that period of grief faster.
You can stay in it or ruminate in it, I take all steps to live my best life.
Millionaries pay no attention to astrology but billionaires do!
Everything will seem like it is out of order but trust it to work out.
If you’re not getting adjusted by a vitalistic chiropractor, you should!
I am not apologising for it anymore.
We’re always magnetising – whether it’s shit or good stuff.
Ask yourself… who do I want to be?
What we grieve when people leave is often their characteristics too.
We have a variety of people attracted into our lives to fill those gaps.
Illness can be a lack of integrating stress.
You can’t beat yourself up for what you don’t know.
We’re either designing our life or someone else is designing it for us.
You want to design for the best possible energy.
Remove any noise that is not making you feel good.
I have a no dickhead policy!
I will be who I want to be, it makes connections to others more powerful.
I just lean into all aspects of me.

Introduction

Gundi Rhoades is an author, vet, farmer, mother and nature lover.  She has written the revolutionary book The Food Solution.  Kim and Cyndi quiz her about how we can be part of the solution to look after health and planet health rather than being part of the problem.  We may only be 2 people but if everyone does the right thing by making sure we consume food grown in ecologically rich soils, nor sprayed with chemicals then collectively we can change the trajectory of human, animal and planet health.  Cyndi and Kim and such fun with Gundi, she is intelligent, funny, witty, serious and above all an inspiration.

Quotes
Cowgirls dream of being a vet.
I was environmentally aware as a teenager.
People are grieving, lack of snow, normal weather patterns, they fear but don’t believe they can do anything.
We can feed the system that heals planet earth or feed the system that destroys it.
Roundup kills bacteria, fungi and plants, modern agriculture puts the chemistry back in the soil, but has no thought for ecology
Glyphosate destroys the ecology of the soil.
We need to eat for today to save tomorrow.
Eat local

The post UC 391: We’re Fed Up so Step Up with Dr Gundula Rhoades appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

It’s official, Kim and Cyndi have a new crush.  Dr Michelle Woolhouse’s interview was the most heart warming experience for our two chatters.  They talked about the medical model, how it needs to change one practitioner at a time, how 35% of Australian GP’s now call themselves integrative and that more and more were realizing the importance of wholistic health care and not reductionism.  Dr Woolhouse talks about what Evidence Based Medicine is, it is not just about the science but also the clinical judgement by the doctor and the patient values and preferences. The heart was a big topic, not just the physical but so much more.
Dr Michelles Bio

“It is not only until we explore the whole person, that true health can be found”.

Quotes
I was young, I was wide eyed, and naïve as a young intern.
When we are in fear and panic we cannot look forward
I became fascinated that eastern medicine spoke of the heart as the core essence.
Healing is neve as easy as we hope it to be but it’s never as hard as we think it will be
I see it time again, people searching for answers to their mystery symptoms, bouncing from specialist to specialist. Finally, when a diagnosis comes, the person is left with more questions than answers
Hope is such a powerful part of the healing journey.
Western medicine has a heart that beats true.
Stay connected to my heart the heart of those I see.
The older I get the more curious I get.
When we are in a state of fear and panic we don’t have access to good judgement.
Being in the system I do see so many well-intentioned people.
Sometimes looking within gives a greater understanding of the connection.
Buddhism in medicine can be a powerful roadmap through tragedies.
The Wonder Within is a heart lead playbook for the anxious stressed and burnt out.
Be of the most service or help to yourself.
The heart communicates to the body through sensations, knowings and emotions.
The heart is the one organ fully formed and functioning in the embryo by 4 weeks at the size of a sultana.
We know that hostility and loneliness are huge risk factors for heart disease.
The heart has incredible depth, we have heart to heart talks, a brave heart, a kind heart.
We have become obsessed by science as the only metric but historically there is an acknowledgment of the human being and humanity as a whole.
It is vital to have a love of the human in medicine.
Evidence based science is simply the best evidence we have at the time.
We need to include the patient and their belief system and the clinician and their experience.
Indigenous wisdom is about holism, inclusivity and connection.
You have to have disruption and fear before a system can change.
Healing is never as easy as we hope it to be but it is never as hard as we think it to be.

Dr Ron Ehrlich is a veteran in the integrative and wholistic health space.  It was soon after graduation from Dentistry that he realized that the mouth was connected to the rest of the body and the mouth was the beginning of the gut and airways, this aha moment took him on the biggest education ride of his life and he has not stopped learning, 43 plus years later. He believes that the more he knows the more he doesn’t know.  He is innovative, unrelenting in his pursuit to help people and a visionary in his field and many other fields.   Kim and Cyndi learn about his journey and what he is doing now.  His love for humanity drives him to do more and he believes we need to start with the education of our corporates and teenagers.

Quotes
As a dentist it is so easy to get lost in the mouth and forget there’s a whole person attached!
The more you learn the more you realise you don’t know.
If you have an open mind you find another piece of the puzzle.
In order to understand more you have to see it in a historical perspective.
Change has to come from the ground up.
My karma ran over your dogma.
Good health not only makes sense it makes money.
Breath and sleep are the foundation for good health.
Look for the meaning in life, fulfil your potential and be in good health.

The post UC 389: My Karma Ran Over Your Dogma with Dr Ron Ehrlich appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

Dr Anthony Chaffee is an American medical doctor specializing in Neurosurgery who over a span of 20 years has researched the optimal nutritional habits for athletic performance and health. It is his assertion that most of the so-called chronic diseases we treat as doctors these days are actually caused by the food we eat, or don’t eat, and can in many cases be reversed easily with dietary changes.

He began his university education studying Molecular & Cellular Biology with a Minor in Chemistry at the University of Washington in Seattle at the age of 15, which culminated in attaining his MD from the Royal College of Surgeons.

Throughout his athletic career, he saw firsthand the monumental difference that diet makes to performance and recovery, and almost accidentally came across and practiced a fully carnivorous diet from age 20 to 25, having first learned of the toxic nature of plants during his university education. Since then he has rediscovered this truth and more and has dedicated many years and a large part of his professional practice to the study and education of diet and nutrition, and personally practices a fully carnivorous diet to this day, with amazing results.

He currently resides in Perth, Australia where he specializes in Neurosurgery and does private consultations and clinics in functional medicine and nutrition.

The Chatters had many questions about a carnivore diet and Dr Chaffee was able to graciously debate the two of them.  There is a lot to learn in this episode of Up For A Chat about the carnivore diet and the diet and food industry that is based on religion, propaganda and money rather than what is truly needed for health.

Quotes
Our ancestral diet avoided plants.
The dose makes the poison.
Humans are carnivores.
I don’t want to come from a confirmation bias or echo chamber.
Life is adaptable, humans are adaptable.
We are designed to live to 120 years.
We have decades more of a healthy life and we deserve that.
We are the home-sapien species and that species thrives on the carnivore diet.
Diseases of the west have come from foods from the west.
Eat more meat, fat and water.
There is a vested interest that profits greatly in us eating the wrong things and getting sick.

Adam Gibson began his professional life owning gyms in Melbourne.  From gym to coaching health practitioners to build their businesses.  He could see that society in general was not on a healthy trajectory. Over the pandemic Adam began a group called Parents With Questions alongside Charlie Arnott and Jon Farriss (INXS).  His frustration with trying to change things from a top level down wore him out so he decided to become proactive and create Family Farms a model that worked at a grass roots level. Family Farms is group of farms around Australia owned by the people creating organic and regeneratively grown food for the people.

Quotes
Society is not on a good trajectory health wise.
The way to disrupt an orthodoxy is not by challenging it but by asking respectful, curious questions about it.
It’s not about being right but being curious.
Corporate motive is the agenda, it’s good for profit, it’s a great business model.
It’s deeper and more corrupt that what we even expected.
I ask myself what can we do that is creative rather than combative?
We are here to reconnect people with what is possible.
It is a co-creative process that takes a whole lot of awareness.
The harder they push the higher we rise.
Fight with love, consciousness and a belief in our future.
Seeing how people like Mandela, Ghandi and Schindler react in life in the face of violence inspires me.
Robert Kennedy is my current hero, he just keeps showing up.
In these times villains get exposed and hero’s get created.
A connection to nature, people understanding themselves and healthy nutrition is the foundation to stand on.
I’ll be the hero of my story.

Description – The accolades of Dr Peter Bruckner when it comes to sports medicine is impressive, world cups and games, Olympics, Australian Teams in many disciplines, Liverpool Football club and so much more.  His success as a sports medicine doctor was clear but when it came to his own health he avoided what all the tests were saying about his health.  Until he had a conversation with a fellow sports medicine doctor – Dr Tim Noakes, turned his diet around and three months later turned his health and tests around.  His love of now food and sports has become all-encompassing and the miracles he sees with many sports people are awe inspiring.

Quotes
My first love is sport, I read it, I play it, I watch it and I run sports clubs.
I was metabolically unhealthy, I had a family history of diabetes, my father died at 60, I gained half a kilogram every year for 30 years, I had fatty liver, high triglycerides, high insulin but I avoided all the signs.
Be useful, have influence, make a difference, wake up and win every day.
It was very difficult to change the thinking of a low fat diet.
I couldn’t possibly have been on the wrong diet for 40 years but my OCD got the better of me.
In my 6 years of medical school there was not one single lecture on nutrition.
It will take a courageous government to change the health outcomes of a nation.
