Magnesium is one of the most critical micronutrients required for our bodies to function: itās used in over 300 biochemical reactions, from muscle and nerve function, to regulation of blood pressure and glucose. Whilst magnesium can be obtained through dietary intake, most people would benefit from supporting their natural levels with supplementation, with a significant proportion of the population being deficient. But not every supplement is created equal!
Have you ever walked down the vitamins aisle in the supermarket, and been totally overwhelmed by the amount of choice you had? We get it - it can be so confusing to know which ones are going to have the most benefit for you! There are over 11 different types of magnesium supplements alone. But thereās one that is currently standing out from the rest as a revolutionary new version: magnesium threonate. So in this weekās episode of the podcast, weāll be sharing everything you need to know about this groundbreaking magnesium supplement, and how it could be the right fit for you. As there are so many biochemical processes in the body that require magnesium to function, it in turn means that the benefits of supplementing are widespread throughout the entire body too! Weāll be taking you through some of the incredibly powerful effects of magnesium supplements, from preventing cognitive diseases such as Alzheimerās and Parkinsonās, to dramatically reducing brain acidity and cortisol levels, and even the calming influence that can regulate ADHD and promote deeper, high-quality sleep. This revolutionary version sets an exciting precedent in the world of supplements and how the research is constantly developing - weāre only just beginning to scratch the surface of what this supplement can do!
We take a look at the groundbreaking research behind magnesium threonate:
š§ What sets magnesium threonate apart from other magnesium supplements
š§ The cognitive and neuroprotective effects of magnesium threonate (from diseases to degeneration)
š§ Managing chronic stress and sleep issues: how you can drastically improve your bodyās regulation!
š§ The new research suggesting that magnesium threonate can aid in stabilising hyperactivity in the brainGet ready to unlock your inner light and start healing from within!

Without having to think about it, you are automatically breathing in and out every single second of your life. Unlike other fundamental necessities, such as eating and drinking, breathing is something that is unconsciously performed by the body constantly, without a need for conscious action. But unlike other unconscious functions (like our heartbeat), we do have the power to influence our breathing.
Thereās a reason that they say something is āas natural as breathingā. Without even realising it (or even spending much effort on it!), we breathe in and out up to almost 30,000 times a day! But because it comes so naturally to us, we can sometimes underestimate and even dismiss the power of this incredible tool at our disposal. So in this weekās episode of the podcast, weāre making the unconscious conscious, and harnessing the full spectrum of our breathing ability. Because breathing is so critical for our survival, itās linked with hundreds of other physiological functions in our bodies (including some you might never have even considered!). Weāre breaking down the difference that conscious breathing has on your body, and how you can use it to control a multitude of systems, from heart rate, to cortisol levels, and even mental focus. Emotional health relies just as heavily on our breathing too - if you think about your breathing when youāre stressed vs when youāre happy, thereās a radical difference between the two! With breathwork, we can reverse engineer this connection and biohack our neurological functions to process complex and deep-rooted emotions, and even transcend to completely different levels of consciousness that would otherwise be inaccessible to us! Youāll never think about breathing in the same way, and weāll help you unlock the full potential of this tool that each and every single one of us holds inside.
Unlock the power of one of your fundamental functions:
š¬ What is breathwork, and how does it differ from your normal breathing?
š¬ Biohacking your breath: the physiological effect that breathing has on your body
š¬ Understanding the different types of breathwork techniques available
š¬ The neurological impact of breathwork (how you can elevate your consciousness!)Get ready to unlock your inner light and start healing from within!

Chiropractors' immediate aim is to focus on the joints and correct alignment through adjustments, but thereās a broader effect taking place that, when you think about it, is almost like magic! We donāt go into an appointment thinking that an adjustment in the spine will create a better nightās sleep, and we donāt aim to ease anxiety by treating a chronic joint issue. But every single part of our body is linked with the rest - and whilst the connection isnāt always obvious, the power of the relationship is!
The research is finally catching up to what chiropractors have always known and practised passionately every day of their careers in the best interest of their patients. In this weekās episode, weāll be sharing the magic of manual adjustments and how we're only just beginning to scratch the surface of how radically life-changing chiropractic treatment can be on all aspects of your well-being (not just your joints!). Weāll give you some insights into the new groundbreaking research thatās quantifying the dramatic improvements to a patientās quality of life and how weāve been seeing this reflected in our practice for so many years. Manual adjustments on the joints have far-ranging effects on the body as every single cell in your body communicates with the others, and how we can harness the power of that nervous system signalling to increase the success of patient outcomes. Even after seeing the life-changing results time and time again, we are still blown away every day by the magic of manual adjustments - and weāre here to share a little bit of that magic with you too.
Weāre giving you a deeper understanding of the intricate links of the body:
š¦“ Taking a look at chiropractic, from manual adjustments and beyond
š¦“ Acknowledging that the research is only just catching up to the powerful effects of chiropractic
š¦“ How neuroplasticity has wide-ranging effects on your wellbeing, including everything from mental health to sleep
š¦“ The salience network: your grounding rod in the grass to process every bit of information channelled in your bodyGet ready to unlock your inner light and start healing from within!

Chiropractic is often associated with the powerful cracking noise made during an adjustment. But itās not the crack that is the therapy - itās the careful manipulation of the joint, the fluid in the joint, and the delicate balance of the nervous system structures coursing through it. Itās a whole-body approach to finding harmony between all parts!
Whilst itās the most commonly known part (and most satisfying!) of your chiropractic appointment, chiropractic is so much more than just the crack - itās a science, itās an art, and itās a philosophy that both of us have dedicated our lives to. Weāre taking you through your own Chiropractic 101 this week, to give you a better understanding of this dynamic modality, what we do, AND why we do it. Weāll explore the complexities of brain signalling pathways, and how mind-body connections are formed. As primary healthcare practitioners, we have the ultimate responsibility for each patient that comes into our clinic. Itās our job to get to the bottom of their pain and injury and decipher the signs and symptoms that indicate that delicate balance of the nervous system and musculoskeletal systems. When this balance is compromised, it also severely compromises a patientās daily well-being, and it takes far more energy for a body to function when itās spending precious time compensating for it. Weāll be looking at the physical techniques that we use to diagnose the body, and how we use adjustments in the joints to correct misalignment in the body. Weāre often stuck in the āmindā part of our mind-body balance, but we canāt neglect the ābodyā if we want to be truly, holistically healthy - and this is where chiropractic shines.
Weāre exploring the power of chiropractic:
š¦“ Chiropractic as a science, art, and philosophy, and how we utilise it as detectives of the human body
š¦“ The relationship between the nervous system, the spine, and the joints, and the critical importance of creating a perfect connection between them
š¦“ Correcting misalignments in the body via physical adjustments to promote health, energy, and vitality
š¦“ Our āwhyāsā: the story of how we both found chiropractics and why it has become our passion in lifeGet ready to unlock your inner light and start healing from within!

Medicine sees innovations happening every single day. As our understanding of the body grows, so do the opportunities to develop groundbreaking techniques to heal chronic issues that drastically affect the quality of patient's lives. And when we approach it with a holistic focus? Well, the possibilities are endless!
We often consider emotions as being intangible - thoughts and feelings that we canāt quite touch and see. But emotions do have a physical aspect! These emotional information molecules flow through the system and interact with other areas of the body, like our muscles, bones, and joints. When the emotions are based in negativity, such as those from trauma, it can build and build causing long-term adverse reactions - especially when not addressed. On this weekās episode, weāll be sharing the groundbreaking technique developed by chiropractors that is helping patients address the physical aspect of emotional distress! Unlike emotion-focused techniques such as talk therapy, Neuro Emotional Technique (or NET) is a physiological-based therapy that works to address manifestations of traumas and stress in the physical body. Weāre breaking down everything you need to know about the technique, from understanding how emotions can cause chronic pain and injury, to the specific acupressure points and manipulations we can use to resolve this stored negative energy. Weāll also share some of the incredible results from patientsā treatments, and some of our own life-changing personal experiences with NET too. NET has been developed to increase our consciousness and awareness of the relationship between emotional and physical health. When we understand that link, we can unlock profound, long-lasting results that restore balance to our lives and bodies!
Your complete guide to this transformative technique:
šŖ What exactly is the Neuro Emotional Technique anyway?
šŖ The practical application of NET - what you can expect in a session!
šŖ Emotions as a physical source of stored stress: how this manifests as symptoms in the body
šŖ The incredible effect the Neuro Emotional Technique can have on patientsIf you want to find out more about NET, weād love to help you take that first step to healing - either take our free online quiz or start your research at one of these fantastic sources:

Gender-affirming surgery has a powerful effect on those needing it, especially in terms of mental health. When a person feels like their body truly represents them as a person, depression and anxiety rates are drastically reduced and even can reduce the need for medications such as antidepressants. It is a key necessity in a healthcare approach to transgender patients.
After years of treatment, including three long, difficult surgeries (and the even more gruelling recovery), Jaxsonās medical transition has officially finished! So weāre taking a trip down memory lane in this weekās episode, as we each share our own memories of the process and what it meant to both of us. Weāll be answering some of the biggest questions around his transition process, including the medical procedures (including what a phalloplasty actually is). As a potentially life-changing opportunity, itās not always readily accessible - weāll discuss some of the barriers to access, such as the non-inclusion in health insurance or Medicare. But itās not necessarily just being financially able to go through with such intense treatment thatās the most important preparation required! The body goes through a significant amount of stress physically, biochemically, and emotionally, and this requires an athlete-like level of preparation to maximise healing and minimise the mental impact where possible. Weāll break down the incredible way Jaxson used holistic health to prepare his whole self for the surgery, and the overwhelmingly beneficial effect it has on his health outcomes. This is a raw, emotional, and genuine conversation about a pivotal moment in our journey together, and we encourage you to join us on the rollercoaster of emotions!
Weāre helping you understand Jaxsonās journey:
š¦ Jaxson and Hilary both share their personal memories of his transition
š¦ Explaining the medical procedures and surgeries Jaxson went through
š¦ Breaking down Jaxsonās intense biochemical and physical preparation to get his body ready for a gruelling process!

Our modern environments predispose us to chronic stress. Busy jobs, pressures of social media, demands of being a full-time carer, and other consistent, prolonged exposures to stressful situations can send your cortisol production into overdrive. To reduce stress, we canāt escape our lives - but we can manage them!
Whilst it seems like a simple answer to get rid of the stress-causing factors in our lives, the truth is that itās not possible to totally remove it all (unless maybe you run away to a cabin in the woods). So, we just need to learn to manage them all a little better and do what we can to minimise the impact on our bodies. On this weekās episode of the podcast, weāre all about the stress-busting strategies that you can incorporate into your daily routine - today! Just as chronic stress forms over a long period of time when weāre under constant pressure, lowering your cortisol takes the same approach. By committing to some of these activities (that only take a few minutes) every day for as little as 6 weeks, you can reduce your cortisol by up to 30%. We cover a wide range of options for you, from free mindfulness techniques to some simple supplements that will not only help you regain control of your stress but also have a multitude of other benefits for your health. You donāt have to commit to all of them, but by trying a few different methods you can tailor a cortisol-lowering plan that works best for you as an individual. Thereās no need to stress about being stressed when there are scientifically proven strategies right here. Weāre making small meaningful changes that make a big difference in our stress.
Lower your cortisol at home starting TODAY:
š¶āāļøConsistency is key when reducing your cortisol, so weāre helping build your ideal routine

Weāve been keeping a little secret hidden from you allā¦ weāre so excited to announce to the world that weāre pregnant!
Itās been a long journey for us, and itās certainly been a rollercoaster of emotions, but we are well on our way to creating our luminous baby. Having children is something that both of us have always wanted, and itās something that weāve dreamed would happen for us - itās so exciting to finally realise our hopes of starting a family! For Hilary, being a mother has been something sheās always wanted since she was a teenager. As a transgender man, Jaxson always knew that he wanted kids, but knew that carrying a child himself was something he could never imagine, with part of his transition including releasing his own fertility. Weāll be sharing some stories of our fertility and pregnancy journeys along the way, and answering some of your questions on the Luminous Body podcast this week. By embracing open discussions, we hope to start a conversation and help enlighten you about the many different ways of starting a family. Weāve been privileged enough to have the love and support of our families and health professionals along the way, and whilst it may not be the āmainstreamā expectation of creating a family, itās a wonderful and powerful experience the two of us are sharing together - and now with you.Get ready to unlock your inner light and start healing from within!

Stress is often associated with the emotional aspect of the brain. We feel the emotional reponse of being āstressed outā running through our system. But stress is not purely isolated to our emotions. It can have visible physical effects on the body, that are the early warning signs that our cortisol levels is not as well managed as we might think.
When we think about stress in the body, we usully think about tense, heightened emotions. But when stress starts getting in the way of our normal daily functions, it can start presenting as some symptoms that areā¦ well, just plain weird! On this weekās episode of the Luminous Body podcast, weāre investigating some of the ways that stress is manifesting in your body, in ways you wouldnāt usually expect! Weāll take a look at a few different systems in the body (the hormonal, digestive, muscle and bone, and skin and hair) that often present in physical symptoms when affected by stress. Whilst we donāt always associate these systems as having a strong link with stress, the reality is that our constant exposure to stressful environments can begin to interfere with how they function. And itās not always an obvious sign! From Achilleās tendon injuries, to missed menstrual cycles, to thinning hair, if we donāt know what to look out for, these signs and symptoms can easily be dismissed or go unnoticed. But this is where being in tune with your body takes a key role in your own health autonomy - nothing in the body happens without a reason for it. We want you to be aware, not alarmed, and prepared to act in your own best health interest. So weāre going to make stress simple again, by breaking down just how cortisol works in the body, and why! By taking a step back, and being open to looking at the body and its wide-ranging influential factors, weāre not restricted to just treating symptoms - we can heal it at the root cause.
Letās decode the secret language of stress together:
šHow stress influences other hormones - an introduction to the thyroid!
šItās not just about diet: stress and the digestive system
šThe unusual cause behind muscle and bone injuries
šStress and the secret cause of premature ageing

The fight or flight response is a critical part of human evolution. When faced with an immediately dangerous situation, our bodies react by diverting all of our energy and resources toward things that are going to help our survival - blood to the muscles, pupil dilation, and a quickened heartbeat. Other less critical functions are sidelined, only to be called back into action when the coast is clear. When stress becomes an inescapable part of life, those systems face a constant shutdown.
Forgotten keys and passwords, no willpower when it comes to snacking, constant coughs and colds - weāre often quick to blame ourselves for these āflawsā. Whilst that seems like an easy answer, the reality is that the truth lies far deeper (and is far more complicated!). On this weekās episode of the Luminous Body podcast, weāre diving into the sneaky signs and symptoms that might indicate your stress is starting to get a little out of control! Weāll be investigating 4 systems (the immune, metabolic, cardiovascular, and cognitive) where stress can have a very real impact. These systems all have vital roles in keeping us functioning as productive humans in our daily routine and have their own unique relationships with the stress hormone, cortisol. Weāve cleverly evolved to have stress as a fantastic call to action when we need to survive a dangerous situation in the immediate present. But if your ever familiar with the saying, itās true - you can have too much of a good thing! Our bodies werenāt designed to be exposed to consistent and persistent stress. From affecting memory, to changing your immune responses, to increasing potential risks for some of the most common lifestyle diseases, the effect of stress on the body canāt be underestimated! Weāll help you understand the science behind these systems, and how stress can influence them, for better or for worse. Often we try an avoidance coping mechanism with stress, which unfortunately becomes a cyclical catch-22: the more we avoid dealing with it, the worse we deal with stress. But by arming you with knowledge, youāll be better equipped, youāll have the confidence to recognise the manifestation of stress in your own body. You are your own most powerful tool for learning!

Stress is an unavoidable part of life. Finances, career, relationships - stressors can come from anywhere and everywhere. Whilst small doses of stress are easily regulated by the body, our system was never designed to deal with the onslaught brought on by todayās society. We canāt outrun, out-supplement, or out-think stress completely, but we can try to out-smart it.
There are so many contributing factors to stress, big and small, that we donāt have the power to control - and that in itself can be incredibly stress-inducing! On this weekās episode of the podcast, weāre giving you the knowledge you need to change the things you can (and accept the ones you canāt!). Weāll be breaking down the 3 biggest areas in our daily lives that are increasing our cortisol levels: our lifestyle, our sleep patterns, and our diet. There are fascinating correlations between all of these factors, from the obvious (like a difficult-to-handle boss) to the not-so-obvious (like your comfort snacking - itās actually making you more stressed AND insulin resistant!). Weāll help you understand the sometimes complicated interactions that cortisol has on the multiple body systems, and share strategies for how you reduce that impact by making simple changes in your life today. But itās not all doom and gloom! In fact, one of the best ways to reduce your cortisol levels is to embrace stress and view it as a normal part of life, not something we need to āfixā. By becoming more familiar with stress and how we feel it in our own bodies, we can learn to get comfortable with stress. Whilst you might not be able to control every aspect of stress in your life, you do have the power to control your reactions to it!
All the little things start to add up:
š Managing the stress hormone, cortisol: is there a secret magic bullet?
š Learning to regulate lifestyle stress rather than suppress it
š What actually is a good nightās sleep, and what role does stress play in our sleep cycle?
š Balancing sugars and stress - how your diet affects cortisol levels

Often in an emotional event, we experience an outpouring of energy. This could range anywhere from a burst of rage, a wave of sadness, or reaching the heights of joy. At its peak, these emotions can become almost a tangible energy that is coursing through the body. But often as quickly as it comes on, that same energy ebbs away. When this energy is associated with a traumatic event however, itās often not as simple as letting that negative emotion go. So if itās not released - where does it go?
Emotions are complicated. They are often oversimplified into āgoodā and ābadā categories to help us make sense of them. In reality, emotions are simply information from our body that we can choose to respond to, or not - thereās no need for those labels! Weāre encouraging you to feel all of your feelings on this weekās episode of the podcast. Emotions are helpful responses from our brain that can act as guideposts for positive action and adaptability, and can shape how we interact with the world around us. Whilst we must place a high value on these reactions, itās important to remember that the power of how we respond to those emotions is ultimately up to us. Weāll be exploring what can happen if we attempt to ignore or block our feelings from occurring and aim to give you the confidence to embrace the full spectrum of your emotions. Weāll also break down the biochemistry of emotions, such as stress, and the influential relationship it has within the bodyās physical processes. Not only are emotions able to provide information from our everyday reactions, but they can also be a critical deciding factor for our survival. Weāll be showing you the incredible way our brains can store memories of our emotional responses to shape the way we respond to life-threatening situations and increase our chances of surviving time and time again. Traumatic events like this can provide us with powerful information, but it can also have other long-lasting effects that are not as beneficial. When negative emotions are not released and resolved at the time of the event, the energy from that reaction becomes trapped in the body. This can lead to a multitude of chronic health issues and is often missed as a potential cause. Weāll investigate how past traumas may be stored within your muscles and systems and causing pain that can go unresolved for decades, and exaGet ready to unlock your inner light and start healing from within!

Thousands of years ago, life was as simple as predator versus prey - and you wanted to ensure you didnāt end up the latter. Our bodies evolved to have a natural reaction to dangerous situations to give us a fighting (or flight-based) chance of survival. Whilst our daily lives have changed radically from a hunting ground routine, this innate take-action system has been slower to adapt. So what happens when the body canāt quite discern between a real threat, and an email from your boss?
In the middle of a particularly busy work week, you might be tempted to throw your hands up in the air and wonder: who even invented stress anyway? But without it, the human race would never have been able to grow and move forward, let alone even continue to exist. Whilst it can be difficult to place qualitative and quantitative determinants on stress levels, itās important to consider that it can be vastly different from person to person. On this weekās episode of the podcast, weāre exploring stress and what it means for our physical and emotional health. Weāre breaking down just exactly what stress is on a scientific level, and how this natural biological process interacts with multiple systems throughout the body as part of your sympathetic nervous system. Stress often has a negative connotation as something that is destructive and an internal factor that needs to be controlled and pushed down. Whilst this may sound fairly counterproductive, there are actually āgoodā stress levels and situations that we need in our lives every day! Weāll look into how you can embrace positive stress in your life to help you grow and develop skills that improve your adaptation to the stress we experience on a day-to-day basis. But whilst we depend on short bursts of good stress to evolve, consistently being under stress takes a deeper toll on our bodies. Weāll be breaking down the different types of stress and how they affect the functionality of our systems, alongside the potential health issues that can arise from sustained stress. Stress is getting a PR makeover on this weekās episode, and we want you to learn to embrace and utilise stress to your own advantage.
Donāt stress! Weāre taking care of all of it for you:

The human body is fascinating in its functions. It can be considered like a numbers game. We have evolved 11 complex organ systems to walk, talk, breathe, digest, think, and live. These systems then require one or more of the thousands of types of biochemical reactions to occur. These reactions take place within our cells, and there are approximately 37 trillion cells within the human body. In each cell, there are a billion biochemical processes happening within a second. So when the nutrients needed for these critical functions are not available? Well, no wonder we donāt feel our best.
Nutrient deficiencies can commonly be identified in physical symptoms, like weak bones, cramped muscles, and sore eyes. But some of the more intangible symptoms can be the most worrying - deficiencies can result in patients feeling like a shell of who they used to be. Weāre continuing our investigative series into some of the most common nutrient deficiencies on this weekās episode of the Luminous Body podcast! Weāll be exploring all your deficiency questions and focusing on some well-known (and some less-known!) nutrients: calcium, magnesium, iodine, and zinc. Weāll be explaining how a lack of these nutrients might have you feeling physically and mentally, as well as the effect it has on your emotional well-being. These nutrients often work hand-in-hand with each other, and weāll be exploring those relationships to help you understand the critical balances within your body. The innovation of medications in healthcare has changed the outcomes of most diseases. Rates of death and severe illness have been drastically reduced, and there are thousands of medications available to treat a wide range of diseases and disorders. These medications can influence multiple systems throughout the body, and it is important to know when to support your body in its fight for health. Weāll be taking a look at how medications can affect the absorption or availability of nutrients in your body, and which medications in particular to look out for. In a body of such complex systems, sometimes the answer can be simple. Supplementing where youāre lacking can be the key to turning your soul back on!

Our everyday lifestyles have changed radically over the last few hundred years. Where diet was based on simple, unprocessed foods, and working involved being outside in the sun, we now isolate ourselves away inside offices, commonly eating highly processed sugary foods. This then has a dramatic effect on our ability to absorb vital nutrients from the environment around us.
We might not even consciously know something is missing, but our bodies do - and theyāll let us know about it, one way or another. Whether itās an obvious sign, like heart palpitations, or smaller details, like cracked lips, learning to interpret your symptoms can be the key to unlocking the mystery of your nutrient levels - or lack of. This weekās episode of the podcast takes a closer look at some of the nationās most common nutrient deficiencies: iron, vitamin D, and vitamin B12. A considerable amount of nutrient deficiencies are considered āmodernā deficiencies, as our food becomes less nutrient-dense than previous generations, and our lifestyles differ greatly. Deficiencies are becoming increasingly common, and being aware of signs and symptoms is critical for early diagnosis. Weāll be exploring how you can recognise this in your own body (including some less well-known indications) and also becoming aware of the at-risk population who may be experiencing a deficiency due to medication, dietary, or lifestyle influences. But itās not always as simple as making changes in your everyday life - when the body is in critical need, it can become necessary to support it with specific supplements. Weāll share the best-proven supplementation you could incorporate into your routine as needed. Nutrients can be difficult to track, but having a healthy balance is critical for feeling vitalised and energised!
Weāre on the lookout for all the hidden details:
āļø Critical functions of iron, vitamin B12, and vitamin D in our daily biochemical processes
āļø Possible causes of deficiencies in any of these nutrients
āļø Common symptoms associated with each, and how to recognise them in your own body
āļø How to support and supplement where youāre lacking, and restore your nutrient levels

Our bodies are hosts for microscopic living organisms: we canāt see them with the naked eye, but they are constantly replicating throughout our systems every day. There are over 100 trillion bacteria in our digestive system alone - more than the amount of stars in the Milky Way galaxy. These bacteria live in a constant fight for balance between āgoodā and ābadā, and our everyday actions have a profound effect on who wins.
Restoring balance to our gut bacteria can be tricky, but the consequences of leaving imbalances to run rampant can wreak havoc on the whole digestive system - and the whole body. We rely heavily on āgoodā bacteria to aid with our natural digestive processes, such as breaking down and absorbing nutrients, the motility of the food passing through, and keeping the levels of ābadā bacteria in check. In this week for the Luminous Body podcast, weāll be exploring how our environment and actions affect the balance of bacteria in our gut, and how we can use functional testing and holistic healthcare to identify and treat imbalances. Weāll be looking at a range of influences such as medications and diet to examine the link between bacteria and the perfect body host conditions. The workings of the bacteria in our gut are based on an incredibly complex system, that has widespread effects on not just the digestive processes but can extend as far as mental health disruption as well. Weāll also be discussing the prescription dietary protocols and supplementation that can aid in the healing and restoration of balance to the āgoodā bacteria our gut requires to function healthily. This week shares another personal story, with Jaxson documenting his experience of suffering from SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) after multiple extensive transitioning surgeries, and the intense medication that followed. He shares his journey vulnerably and authentically and proudly shows how holistic healthcare helped to heal not just his gut, but his outlook on life for the better.
Weāre diving deep into:
š¬Effects of our daily actions on our gut bacteria
š¬Testing and diagnosing SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)
š¬Restoring balance with diet and supplements
š¬The two-way relationship between mental health and your diet

Over millions of years, our bodies have slowly evolved to best adapt to our surroundings. Each organ system has formed to support a critical function that is crucial for life. But as modern-day society rapidly changes, our bodies are quickly having to adjust to keep up with this ever-changing environment.
In an increasingly toxic world, we can learn to take matters back into our own hands and support our own natural detoxifying systems. Heavy metals are found frequently in day-to-day items, and constant exposure can slowly accumulate in our tissues without us even knowing. Our excretion system works in overdrive to prevent these building to significant levels, but we can also work to reduce our risk as much as possible. In this weekās episode of the podcast, weāre discussing real-life examples of toxic overload, and how a holistic approach is key to ensuring the best outcome. Weāll be taking a look at potential exposure risks in your own environment, and how you can stay on top of managing your own levels of toxic metal buildup. Whilst our body is incredibly intelligent in its own processes, supplementing the natural detoxing systems can be a fantastic aid to reduce stress on the body and maximise results. Weāre discussing common detox protocols, potential supplements and eliminations, as well as the use of alternative therapies such as kinesiology to help heal the emotional sufferings from these biochemical imbalances. This weekās episode also personally resonates with us on a deeper level: Hilary shares her own journey of experiencing mercury toxicity, and her own inspiring story of overcoming her symptoms and healing herself through holistic healthcare.
Weāre looking at real-life toxic overload:
š§« Common signs and symptoms of toxicity
š§« When to consider detox protocols and elimination diets
š§« Effects on your physical, biochemical, and emotional health
š§« Hilaryās personal journey with mercury toxicity

When we absorb molecules from the air around us, the things we touch, and the food we eat, it would be remiss of us to believe that only those that are āgoodā are taken up into the system. These exposures can have an accumulative effect and stay within us, hidden, for years to come.
Theyāre all around us, even if we donāt realise it! But microscopic toxins and pathogens can play a significant role in our biochemical system function - or the lack of. Welcome to the Luminous Body podcast, where we are continuing with part 3 of our biochemical investigation series. Whilst weāve been looking previously at the vital nutrients that we need to fuel our bodies every day, weāre taking a different approach today! Our world has an abundance of toxins and pathogens, and itās almost impossible to avoid them. Weāre going to be investigating these little toxins and pathogens that we come into contact with every day, and how theyāve become such a significant part of the world around us. By giving you some real-life examples, weāre encouraging you to take a deeper look into your own body and evaluate the sometimes hidden signs that you might be a (somewhat unwilling!) host for those microscopic travellers. From parasites to bacteria, to heavy metals and viruses, the influence and interference they are able to play throughout our biochemical pathways, from our brains and even taking up residence in our stomachs. Whilst it might sound unsettling (or even just a bit gross!), itās critical to understand the roles that these invisible invaders are playing within your body so that you can then learn to manage that effect. Our bodies have evolved to have some incredible defence and detox systems in place - we want to work with them, not against them!
Weāre putting the facts under a microscope:
š¦ What exactly are toxins and pathogens, and where are they found in our environment?
š¦ Biochemical disruptors: how accumulations and copycats can interrupt our natural processes
š¦ Detox and defence systems in our body, and how we can support our bodies
š¦ How to spot symptoms of toxins and pathogens in your own bod

Itās something that all of us do every single day, multiple times a day, and we often donāt even give it a second thought. But while itās easy to oversimplify the act of eating food, itās not as easy to overstate the critical importance of the millions of pathways that process that food and fuel every action we take.
Our food has a long journey from start to finish in your digestive system, and there are so many factors that affect how successful that journey is in providing your body with the nutrients it needs to function efficiently. In this weekās episode, we continue our science-made simple series about biochemistry! After last weekās 101 introduction to biochemical pathways and nutrients, weāre now looking at how we consume and absorb those necessary nutrients every day. Taking a trip down the incredible process that is the digestive system, weāll take a step-by-step approach to the path your food takes through it, and how our chemical pathways have evolved in precise ways to draw every possible nutrient out - and then put them to work. Not all foods are created equal, however! Weāre also diving deeper into the value of those very nutrients and the varied nutrient density of our modern-day diet, and the common challenges that are facing us in a society fuelled by overconsumption and mass production. But no system is 100% perfect - weāll be recognising the complex multifactorial effect of nutrient leeching, or nutrient loss, with a holistic approach that takes a broad view to heal the whole you and not just your symptoms.
Weāre breaking down and digesting all the facts:
š§āš³ Looking at the nutrient density of our everyday diet, and the different options available
š§āš³ The journey your food takes through your body, and how it uses all the nutrients you consume
š§āš³ Understanding the biochemical processes of your digestive system

Have you ever heard the old saying, āyou are what you eatā? Itās not just what you eat that makes a difference in your body: itās the air you breathe, the sun on your skin, and the environment you live in. All of these factors fuel the millions of intricate pathways that keep our bodies alive every single day.
What we do (or donāt) absorb can change the very foundations of our biology as humans.In this weekās episode we start our very first series for the podcast, where we aim to make science simple again! This series is all about breaking down biochemistry and the role it plays in our bodies and in our health outcomes. Biochemistry (the chemistry of all living things) relies on our intake from the world around us to create the energy required for our systems to function. Every system in our body has a purpose, and weāll be discussing some of the most common biochemical reactions and how they influence our physical health and emotional wellbeing too. Weāll also be diving into which essential nutrients are needed for daily performance, where your body gets these nutrients from, and how they are then broken down and create the building blocks of life. Balance is nature's key to thriving - we also provide an insight on what happens when this balance is compromised, and how you can use holistic frameworks to support and transform your overall health.
We start from the very beginning:
š Understanding what is biochemistry: our bodiesā systems and pathways
š Explaining the difference between macro vs micronutrients, and why we need both
š Acknowledging the role of environmental factors in our biochemistry makeup
š Recognising the effects of imbalanced biochemical systems
