  • Integrative GP Dr. Lily Tomas dives into the many complexities involved in fibromyalgia, a condition underpinned by chronic, systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation.

    Our Ambassador Dr. Michelle Woolhouse opens the conversation discussing the many aetiologies of fibromyalgia which include oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, mast cell activation, microglia activation, peripheral and central sensitisation. They discuss common risk factors such as Vitamin D deficiency, gut health, and abnormal peripheral and central pain pathways, as well as others that can play a part in the development of fibromyalgia - which mainly impacts women aged 20 to 60 years of age.

    The gut is a major first focus for Dr. Tomas, who details connections between those with fibromyalgia and IBS, as well as how to investigate and treat through the gut. There’s also a deep discussion surrounding mitochondrial health and the development of fibromyalgia, due to the high concentration of mitochondria in skeletal muscle tissue as well as their impacts on damaging the nervous system and their ability to produce melatonin.

    This podcast is not to be missed for those who love technical details surrounding fibromyalgia and the multi-faceted aspects to treatment.

  • Dr. Stacy Sims, expert in female physiology and training, collaborates with fx Ambassador Lisa Costa-Bir to discuss the intricate relationship between hormones and physical performance.

    Together they explore how the female hormonal cycle introduces unique challenges and opportunities. The follicular phase is the time when women typically excel physically, while the ovulatory phase can bring variations in how one feels during exercise. The mid-luteal phase can be challenging for high-intensity training, and the days leading up to menstruation require tailored adjustments due to mood, heart rate, and performance changes.

    Tailored exercise strategies are discussed, with tips for conditions like endometriosis and PCOS. Maintaining muscle mass during peri/menopause through specific exercise approaches is emphasised. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is clarified as not reversing ageing but preserving lean muscle mass through exercise.

    The podcast also covers injury prevention, nutrition, and hydration strategies, offering women and clinicians an holistic guide to optimise their fitness journey throughout life.

  • Professor Peter Drummond, Murdoch University's Director of the Centre for Research on Chronic Pain, and our Ambassador Dr. Adrian Lopresti explore the relationship pain has with thoughts, emotions, mental health and sleep.

    The discussion begins with Prof. Drummond exploring the influence of thoughts and emotions on one’s perception of pain with a detailed discussion on various pathways that pain travels through the brain which results in the experience of feeling pain. Pyschological state seems to play a huge role in colouring pain perception where fear, anxiety, depression leads to an increased pain signalling. Prof. Drummond explains how psycholeducation techniques have been proven to alter one’s experience of pain through reprocessing therapy and relaxation that affects one’s ability to control and manage their pain better.

  • Our latest Four Perspectives episode with Prof. Lesley Braun and the fx Ambassadors provides healthcare practitioners with a concise overview of the landscape of burnout beyond the workplace and its management with key nutrients, herbs and psychosocial strategies.

    The Ambassadors and Prof. Braun begin by clarifying our understanding of what burnout is and the important distinction between anxiety and stress. They highlight the normalisation of stress in society and the need to understand burnout. There is discussion around the pros and cons of diagnostic criteria of burnout, covering two diagnostic surveys along with the use of salivary cortisol testing..

    An important perspective shift is introduced on the concept of ‘adrenal fatigue’, and the need to reconsider this concept and move towards HPA dysfunction and cortisol dysregulation. This reframing better supports the practitioner's approach to managing burnout andemphasises the significance of rest and recovery, with a unique perspective on tissue healing and the time needed for nerve tissue recovery.

    Key herbal and nutritional therapeutics are discussed with the ambassadors providing an overview of nutritional interventions, focusing on magnesium, deficiency states, specialized pro-resolving mediators, B vitamins, and CoQ10. The value of herbal remedies are also explored with a focus on effective utilisation of key herbs including withania, holy basil, kava, and saffron.

    This Four Perspectives episode provides a valuable insight to address burnout within the healthcare community and your patients.
