In this episode of Prescribing Lifestyle, I sit down with Connie Paglianiti, motivational speaker, author, and founder of We Socialise. Connie shares her raw and powerful story—from running successful large-scale events to serving time in prison after a devastating mistake.
We talk about shame, addiction, the prison system, and what it means to truly start over. Connie opens up about the bullying she faced behind bars, the toll on her family, and how she rebuilt her life with purpose, grit, and a fierce drive to help others.
💚 This conversation is a reminder that healing is possible, growth is always an option—and no one is ever too far gone for a second chance.
What We Covered in This Episode Connie’s Journey: From award-winning events to incarceration, and what she learned about herself along the way. The Power of Vulnerability: Why hiding pain can be more dangerous than facing it—and how being open transformed Connie’s life. What Prison Was Really Like: The truth about bullying, isolation, and the impact of COVID lockdowns in jail. Rebuilding After Rock Bottom: How Connie found her voice again through study, public speaking, and sharing her story with the world. Helping Others Through Addiction & Recovery: Her work with Gambler’s Help, and why she's passionate about breaking the stigma. Key Takeaways You are never too old—or too broken—to start again. Vulnerability is a strength that opens the door to real transformation. Support, community, and purpose are vital in healing from trauma or addiction. One person’s story can spark change in many others.

In this Episode of Prescribing Lifestyle Podcast powerful return episode, I reconnect with Julia Rudakova, naturopath and founder of Oxygen Revolution. Julia specialises in breathwork, functional health, and holistic healing. This time, we dive deep into one of her favourite topics: sunlight as medicine ☀️
From morning light to junk light, we explore how natural light affects your hormones, mood, metabolism, and even fertility. We also chat about breath training for kids and adults, and how simple tools—like natural light and nasal breathing—can transform health from the inside out.
What We Covered in This Episode Reconnecting with Julia: Catching up since Episode 33 (recorded live in the MLC Clinic!) Why sunlight is more than vitamin D—and how it primes our biology for health. The link between artificial light and hormonal imbalances. How to get morning light—even on a cloudy day (and why it matters). Circadian rhythms and cortisol, melatonin, thyroid, and insulin health. Sunglasses, sunscreen, and the myths that keep us disconnected from nature. Light as a hormonal signal: how your eyes send messages to the rest of your body. How food, fats, and inflammation affect your sun tolerance. The dangers of 'junk light' indoors—and how to swap it out. Julia’s resources on breathwork for kids and adults. Real client stories: from improved fertility to reduced perimenopausal symptoms. Key Takeaways✔ Sunlight is free medicine—use it wisely and daily.

✔ Nutrition, healthy fats, and gut health all play a role in how you absorb sunlight.

In this episode, I’m joined once again by my good friend and fellow GP, Dr. Nelu Dharmapriya from Whole Food Revolution. She's a passionate advocate for metabolic health and low carb living—especially in South Asian and Asian communities like ours.
As two doctors with cultural backgrounds from Sri Lanka and China, we opened up about the unique challenges (and opportunities!) we face when it comes to food, family, and health. This one’s close to my heart 💚
💡 What We Talked About:
Why people from Asian and South Asian backgrounds are at higher risk for metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes—even if they’re not overweight. Dr. Nelu’s personal experience reversing pre-diabetes and improving her health through low carb living—and how that journey mirrored my own. The concept of TOFI (thin on the outside, fat on the inside)—a common but hidden issue in our communities. The truth about rice, fried foods, sugary drinks, and constant snacking—and what small changes can actually make a difference. How to prioritise protein (even for vegetarians) and why it matters so much for our long-term health. The cultural challenges we face at social gatherings, with family expectations, and inherited habits—and how we can lovingly challenge those norms. The role of fasting, resistance training, and mindset work as part of true lifestyle change.Stories + Resources
Dr. Nelu also shared:
A powerful story of a Melbourne-based South Asian engineer who transformed his metabolic health after attending her workshop. A South Asian woman who found healing not just through food, but also by shifting her mindset and stress habits. A free online hub of resources for South Asians (and everyone!) wanting to take charge of their health.

Menopause is a huge transition in a woman’s life, yet it’s often misunderstood and not talked about enough. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey approaching 50 and how I’m preparing for menopause, plus the key insights I gained from attending the So Hot Right Now Menopause Conference in Sydney.
We’ll unpack the myths around hormone therapy, why so many women struggle with weight gain and insulin resistance, and how nutrition, strength training, and stress management can help women thrive—not just survive—during menopause.
What I Covered in This Episode 1️⃣ The Reality of Menopause Why menopause isn’t just about hot flushes—it affects mood, sleep, brain function, and more. How hormonal changes impact insulin resistance, weight gain, and energy levels. The common misconceptions about menopause that leave many women suffering in silence. 2️⃣ The Truth About Hormone Therapy (MHT) Debunking the myths: Is HRT really safe? Understanding estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone therapy. The real benefits of MHT beyond symptom relief—think brain health, heart health, and bone strength. What I’ve learned as a GP—and why I’m now prescribing MHT more to help women feel their best. 3️⃣ Why Lifestyle Matters in Menopause Nutrition: Why increasing protein and reducing processed carbs & sugar is critical. Strength Training: Why walking alone isn’t enough—women need to lift heavy to maintain muscle & bone health. Stress Management: The role of breathwork, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation in managing symptoms. Circadian Health: How morning sunlight & reducing blue light at night can improve sleep & hormone balance. 4️⃣ My Personal Approach to Menopause How I’m proactively preparing for menopause and balancing lifestyle, nutrition, and stress management. Why I’m continuing to learn, unlearn, and relearn about menopause to provide better care for my patients. The key mindset shifts every woman needs to embrace this transition with confidence & vitality. Key Takeaways💡 Menopause is more than just hot flushes—it affects your brain, metabolism, sleep, and overall well-being.
💡 MHT is safe and effective for many women—it’s time to break the stigma and have open conversations.
💡 What worked for your body before menopause may not work now—adjusting nutrition & exercise is key.
💡 Strength training is non-negotiable for muscle, bone, and metabolic health—every woman needs to lift heavy.
💡 Managing stress & improving sleep through circadian health and mindfulness makes a huge difference.

In this episode of the Prescribing Lifestyle podcast, I’m joined by Tanya Rutherford, founder of Queen Be, a midlife transformational coach, and the host of the Navigating the Change Online Menopause Summit. We dive into the realities of midlife, perimenopause, and menopause, exploring how women can take control of their health and well-being during this stage of life.
What We Covered in This Episode Meet Tanya Rutherford & Queen Be Tanya’s journey into coaching and supporting women through midlife and menopause. The importance of education and awareness around hormonal changes. The Reality of Midlife & Menopause Common symptoms of perimenopause and menopause—beyond hot flashes! How midlife transitions impact mental health, relationships, and career. The role of menopause hormone therapy (MHT) and why it’s gaining attention again. Navigating the Change Online Menopause Summit (Feb 3-6, 2025) A free online summit featuring expert discussions on menopause, lifestyle, relationships, and more. Followed by live workshops from Feb 10-21 for deeper insights and practical strategies. Access to additional resources, coaching, and a supportive community. How to Take Charge of Your Midlife Health Lifestyle strategies: nutrition, strength training, stress management, and sleep. Why understanding your body’s changes is key to thriving in midlife. The power of community and support in navigating this stage of life. Key Takeaways Perimenopause and menopause are natural transitions that affect every woman differently. Many symptoms (like anxiety, brain fog, and fatigue) are often overlooked as hormonal changes. Women need to advocate for their health, seek education, and explore different treatment options. Community and expert guidance can make the midlife journey empowering rather than overwhelming.
