In this week’s episode of The Pure Health Podcast, Kirsty and Nicole unpack one of the most common traps in modern wellness — chasing health through control instead of connection.
If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in the cycle of calorie counting, food guilt, or feeling like your body just isn’t responding the way it “should,” this conversation is for you. They explore how true body love isn’t about perfection, restriction, or willpower — it’s about rebuilding trust with your body, understanding your unique physiology, and finding the root cause of what’s really holding you back.
What We Cover:
Why “body love” is about connection — not control
How calorie counting creates stress, anxiety, and disconnection from natural hunger cues
The psychology of control and how diet culture teaches us to distrust our bodies
What really happens when you stop counting: lowered cortisol, better digestion, and more food freedom
How to shift from “How little can I eat?” to “What does my body need to feel strong and supported?”
Why sustainable weight regulation comes from hormone balance — not calorie math
Root causes of weight resistance: stress, gut dysbiosis, poor sleep, thyroid issues, nutrient deficiencies, oestrogen dominance
The problem with chronic restriction: how it slows metabolism and suppresses hormones
Simple testing options to find your unique barriers — stool testing, cortisol mapping, thyroid and sex hormone panels
Practical steps to reconnect with your body: mindful eating, balanced meals, emotional awareness, and nourishment without fear
Key Takeaway:
Counting calories might create short-term results, but it doesn’t create peace, balance, or long-term health. True body love is learning to trust your body, nourish it with real food, and understand what’s happening beneath the surface — because sustainable change starts with connection, not control.

In this week’s episode of The Pure Health Podcast, Kirsty and Nicole dive into one of the most important (and often overlooked) stages of fertility — preconception.
They unpack why fertility isn’t just about getting pregnant, but about how well your body is functioning overall — because fertility is a sign of optimal health.
Whether you’re actively trying, planning for the future, or simply wanting to improve hormonal and reproductive health, this episode will give you a deep understanding of how your nutrition, environment, and lifestyle influence egg and sperm quality months before conception even happens.
What We Cover:
Why fertility is a reflection of overall health — and how your body “decides” when conditions are optimal to conceive
The 100-day window: how long it takes for sperm and eggs to mature, and why your daily choices during this time directly affect egg and sperm quality
When to seek help or specialist support (6–12 month timelines)
The foundations of a fertility-supportive diet: whole foods, antioxidants, omega-3s, and blood sugar balance
Research on the “Fertility Diet” — including healthy fats, fibre, plant-based proteins, and micronutrients that improve ovulation and conception rates
Foods and substances to minimise: processed foods, alcohol, caffeine, refined sugar, and trans fats
The role of specific nutrients: CoQ10, B vitamins, zinc, selenium, vitamin D, and iodine for reproductive health and cell energy
How environmental toxins (plastics, pesticides, cosmetics) can impact hormone balance and egg/sperm quality — and simple swaps to reduce exposure
The importance of the vaginal and gut microbiome in fertility and pregnancy outcomes
Exercise, stress management, and sleep — how these lifestyle factors support healthy hormones, ovulation, and sperm production
Key Takeaway:
You can’t change how many eggs or sperm you have, but you can absolutely change their quality through nutrition, lifestyle, and environment. The 100 days before conception are a powerful window to optimise health for both parents — setting the foundation for a healthy pregnancy and baby.

In this week’s episode of the Pure Health Podcast, we’re shining a light on a condition that affects millions of women worldwide, yet is so often misunderstood or overlooked: endometriosis—and its powerful connection to the gut.
If you’ve ever wondered why endometriosis can feel like “more than period pain,” why gut symptoms like bloating, constipation, or IBS so often go hand in hand, or how inflammation and hormones tie this all together, this episode is for you. Kirsty sits down with naturopath Emily to unpack the science, the lived experience, and the practical steps you can take to support both your gut and your hormones when living with endometriosis.
This isn’t about a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s about understanding the root drivers—immune dysregulation, inflammation, estrogen metabolism, and the microbiome—and how addressing these can reduce pain, improve digestion, and support long-term health.
✅ What endometriosis actually is: an estrogen-dependent, inflammatory condition that goes far beyond the uterus
✅ Why it’s often misdiagnosed as IBS, and how pelvic inflammation and adhesions affect gut function
✅ The role of the gut microbiome: how dysbiosis, low bacterial diversity, and “leaky gut” can drive symptoms
✅ The estrobolome explained: how gut bacteria regulate estrogen, and why this matters for endo
✅ Common symptoms—from severe period pain to fatigue, depression, painful intercourse, and beyond
✅ Nutritional foundations: anti-inflammatory eating, fibre for hormone clearance, omega-3s, colourful plants
✅ Functional testing: stool analysis, SIBO breath testing, hormone panels, and how they guide treatment
✅ Herbs & nutrients for gut and hormone support: curcumin, NAC, glutamine, magnesium, vitamins A & D
✅ Practical strategies: balancing blood sugar, reducing inflammation, and restoring microbial diversity
“You’re not imagining it—endo is a whole-body condition. But there is hope. Supporting gut health can transform hormone balance, reduce pain, and give you your quality of life back.”
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, navigating ongoing symptoms, or looking for a more holistic approach, this episode will give you clarity on the gut–hormone connection and tools to move forward with confidence.

What We Cover:✨ Fun Glow-Up Rapid Fire:
In this week’s episode of the Pure Health Podcast, we’re diving into one of the most relatable patterns we see in clinic: relying on caffeine to get through the day—only to crash by 3pm.
If you’re constantly reaching for that next coffee, feeling wired but exhausted, or stuck in a cycle of fatigue, stimulation, and burnout… this conversation is for you. Kirsty and Nicole unpack the science of how caffeine affects your nervous system, hormones, and adrenals, and more importantly—how to use it more mindfully while supporting your energy naturally.
This isn’t about quitting caffeine cold turkey. It’s about understanding your body, your unique caffeine metabolism, and learning how to fuel energy from the ground up, instead of running on empty.
✅ Why caffeine isn’t “bad”—but context and timing matter
✅ How caffeine triggers the crash cycle (and messes with adenosine, your natural sleep pressure system)
✅ The genetic and hormonal reasons some people metabolise caffeine faster than others
✅ Signs your adrenals might be under stress: wired-tired, anxiety, poor recovery, sleep issues
✅ What your adrenal glands actually do, and how caffeine can push them beyond capacity
✅ Tools to support balanced energy:
Eating breakfast before coffee
Blood sugar-friendly meals
Nervous system rituals (sunlight, breathwork, movement)
Magnesium, B-vitamins, adaptogens
✅ A better way to use caffeine: when to delay it, cycle it, or swap it out
✅ How to know what balanced energy actually feels like in your body
“You don’t have to quit coffee—but you do deserve to feel good without depending on it.”
Whether you’re running on lattes or feeling the afternoon slump every day, this episode will give you the insight and tools to reset your energy, rebuild your resilience, and reclaim your mornings—without the crash.
