What Needs to Happen in Your Body Before Real Healing Can Begin | ft. Natasha Sidoti

What if the reason your body won't cooperate isn't about what you're doing — but about whether your nervous system feels safe enough to heal? This week I'm joined by Natasha Sidoti — naturopath, herbalist, and one of the most quietly perceptive practitioners I've spoken with. We explore the role herbal medicine plays in giving the nervous system a genuine reprieve, the herbs she reaches for first, the vagus nerve and breath, and what she calls a relationship with the plants — something that sounds unusual to a Western ear, and makes complete sense once she explains it. We also go into the patterns she notices in women who put their own needs consistently last, and what quietly shifts when that finally changes. Warm, unhurried, and genuinely one of my favourite conversations.

Your Metabolism Isn't Broken | DEXA Scans, Body Composition & Metabolic Health with Adam Meredith

What if everything you've been told about your metabolism is wrong? I got my BMR and body composition properly tested — and the results were not what I expected. In this episode I sit down with Adam Meredith, chiropractor turned metabolic health and body composition specialist and founder of Body Measure, to unpack what my DEXA scan and metabolic rate test actually revealed: a BMR of 1,201 calories, an 87% fat-burning ratio, and a flag for osteopenia I didn't see coming. We cover the science of metabolic flexibility, why muscle mass is non-negotiable for women as we age, how cortisol and poor sleep are silently damaging your metabolism, and the practical steps you can take right now — from Zone 2 cardio and strength training to morning light and sleep hygiene. Adam's message is clear: your metabolism is listening to your lifestyle every single day. That means you have more power than you think. Stay to the end — the actionable plan Adam outlines might just change how you approach your health this year. 🤗Say hi on social:  Emma’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_emmasutherland [https://www.instagram.com/_emmasutherland]  Emma’s Clinic, Studio You https://www.instagram.com/girlsfromstudioyou [https://www.instagram.com/girlsfromstudioyou]  Sign up for my weekly newsletter: https://www.studio-you.com.au/subscribe-newsletter/ [https://www.studio-you.com.au/subscribe-newsletter/]  New patient inquiries: https://studioyou.cliniko.com/bookings#service [https://studioyou.cliniko.com/bookings#service]  Subscribe to Emma’s Practitioner Podcast  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/fx-medicine-podcast-central/id897414147 [https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/fx-medicine-podcast-central/id897414147]  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6t6AlIjHCj1SLH3ZVCDaNU?si=ef11c2dc37404d49 [https://open.spotify.com/show/6t6AlIjHCj1SLH3ZVCDaNU?si=ef11c2dc37404d49]  Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZnhtZWRpY2luZS5jb20uYXUvcG9kY2FzdC9wb2RjYXN0LnhtbA [https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZnhtZWRpY2luZS5jb20uYXUvcG9kY2FzdC9wb2RjYXN0LnhtbA]  About Emma:  Feel better, think clearer and boost your energy — without burnout, guilt or extremes.

Probiotics for Kids on Antibiotics: Which Strains Actually Prevent Diarrhoea | Emma Sutherland

Antibiotic-associated diarrhoea affects up to 62% of children, and I see so many families who were never given the practical tools to prevent it. In this solo episode, I unpack two landmark studies to reveal the specific probiotic strains that the evidence actually supports: Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Saccharomyces boulardii. I walk you through my exact dosing protocol, why timing from dose one is non-negotiable, and why strain specificity matters far more than a brand name. I also share how you can support your child's gut through diet during and after a course of antibiotics, making evidence-based integrative medicine practical for your real family life. There is one detail about how Saccharomyces boulardii works — a detail most parents have never heard — that reframes the entire conversation. You'll find it in the second half of this episode.
