The Healthification Podcast

Todays show on: How To Avoid Eating Too Many Processed Carbs As A Vegetarian Or Vegan  was inspired by a couple of dear podcast listeners. Thank you Karen and Robyn! It’s also a subject very close to my heart. Previously frequently very close to my belly! If you’re a vegetarian or vegan who eats too many processed carbs, I can 100% relate. That ... READ MORE

As I write this I’m sitting at an airport bar. Like literally At The Bar. I never sit at the bar. Alone. However, as I cover in today’s show: Don’t Expect Life To Go To Plan.  If you were to picture how your life would look: At 30? 40? 50? 60 and beyond? How does right now fit in with that perfect ...

Surely one of the most frustrating things about a situation that does not work out as you planned is when you realize you’re RE-learning a lesson you thought you’d learnt! Whether it’s a lesson as inconsequential as: “When I buy ALL the peanut M&M’s on special to save for later I instead eat ALL the peanut M&M’s now.” Or perhaps it’s a lesson that inflicts ...

I usually pride myself on being pretty fab at “Choosing My Mood.” However this past week I’ve been a bit of a misery guts. To be blunt, 7 tedious days languishing in a “poor me” mindset has me absolutely 100% over me! It’s time to seize back control of the information I filter into my mind. In the same way that rubbish fuel allowed ... READ MORE

A dear client imparted some wisdom yesterday. It got me thinking: Surely one of the most valuable skills to cultivate must be the ability to make a decision? Ideally we upgrade that to make a GOOD decision however just deciding is almost always going to beat wishy washy reactive indecision. As my client recalled, “A few years ago my nephew who was then in his late 30’s was just dating ... READ MORE

Have you ever had the experience where you avoid something for weeks, months, perhaps years because you think it’s going to be really hard? That was 100% my experience so far as healthy plant based eating. I stayed vego for 23 years before I made the jump to plant based because I’d convinced myself plant based would be a miserable eating existence. Also ... READ MORE

In todays What To Do When You Fall Out Of Love With Exercise encore episode my goal is two-fold. For sure, if you’ve lost your exercise love… If, so far as exercise right now (as my favourite rapper declares!) “love is “evol” Spell it backwards I’ll show ya“ well if that’s the case then I want to help you find your exercising love again! However equally, I also want ... READ MORE

Huge Happy New Year! Have you noticed how many posts there are emphatically good-riddancing 2016? Do YOU have a word to sum up your 2016? My word would have to be: Frustrating! Sure, I can focus on the positive and think of all the awesome things I experienced and all the valuable lessons… however, in all honesty I’m pretty super ... READ MORE

In todays show I share my fav step to help you be fit & healthy this Christmas and New Year. In fact it’s something you likely already excel at if you’ve been vego or vegan or for that matter followed any less than normal approach to eating for any decent period of time. First a quick point of clarification. By normal I mean that average, common, path of least resistance ... READ MORE

A few years ago I used to have a very different attitude to the holiday season. It was somewhat of a free for all. I’d really indulge and then I’d really pay for it. A week or two of gorgeous guzzling in Noosa with my family and I literally would not be able to squeeze into the jeans I’d left Sydney in. “It’s cool” I’d tell myself as I manoeuvred gingerly into an ...

Are YOU “waiting to just… Finish that. Get on top of this. Find the right person. Or program. Or the right time. And then you’ll be able to (insert massive action taking and life-changing result here)” Crap-o-la! In todays show I’m revisiting something I want you (and ME!) to get really bad at. In fact I’d love us both to just “Get over it!” Right now is the perfect time of year ... READ MORE

  It’s that time again when it becomes commonplace to subscribe to one of two extreme approaches to see out the year. First up there’s: The Coaster. They’re already checked out and cruising. So far as work, health and goals that is. Likely not so far as partying. This is party season! The Coaster sashays from sexy new dress shopping to hair to nails to cocktail this and end of year that.   Next up there’s: ... READ MORE

Today I’m sharing 3 of the strategies that help me stay focused on my best plant based eating choices over the holiday season. The thing is, these are simply the choices that work 24/7 365 days All Year! Holiday season does not need to be any different. If it is then you’re falling for excuse-i-tis and you’re letting YOU down. ... READ MORE

There’s ONE person you really don’t want to disappoint. I’m not talking about your friendly trainer… though 100% it was a little dagger to my heart when I heard two dear clients (who’d each like to shed some fat) discussing the burgers and chips they’d demolished on the weekend! I’m also not talking about your mum, your best friend or even your partner. That one person you really don’t want to disappoint, is YOU. Todays show ... READ MORE

In today’s Eliminate Limiting Beliefs encore episode I discuss perhaps your most powerful weapon so far as creating and keeping a fit, strong, healthy plant based body you love. In fact recently I heard on another podcast (This American Life – I highly recommend it!) the statement that: “Facts are less powerful than beliefs.”  I 100% agree. As a teenager believing fats made me fat. And ... READ MORE
