Ashwagandha & Perimenopause — What 14 Clinical Trials Actually Show

Kids Get Money: Why Financial Literacy Starts Earlier Than You Think

Only 15% of teenage girls in Australia can answer basic financial questions correctly. That statistic stopped me in my tracks. Because financial habits are formed in childhood. And those habits tend to stick. In my clinic, I see how financial stress affects health. Sleep. Anxiety. Family relationships. It's not just a money issue. It's a health issue. The research shows it clearly. Financial literacy influences your stress levels, your decision-making, and ultimately your health. In this episode, I share five simple action steps you can implement with your kids this week. From starting money conversations early, to teaching delayed gratification, to letting them make safe mistakes—the strategies that build financially confident adults. Because raising financially capable kids isn't about perfect knowledge. It's about consistent exposure. 📚 RESEARCH & RESOURCES: * Kids Get Money Report - Free Download: https://www.frontier-economics.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2025-05-19-Valuing-the-benefits-of-improved-childhood-financial-literacy.pdf [https://www.frontier-economics.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2025-05-19-Valuing-the-benefits-of-improved-childhood-financial-literacy.pdf]  * 2025 HILDA Survey: https://melbourneinstitute.unimelb.edu.au/news/news/2025/hilda-2025-insights-into-a-changing-australia [https://melbourneinstitute.unimelb.edu.au/news/news/2025/hilda-2025-insights-into-a-changing-australia]  🤗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]  About Emma:  Feel better, think clearer and boost your energy — without burnout, guilt or extremes.

Walking Isn't Enough — What Your Bones Really Need After 55 | Emma Sutherland

Bone loss doesn't announce itself. No symptoms, no warning — sometimes the first sign is a fracture. In this episode, clinical naturopath Emma Sutherland breaks down a 12-month clinical study on jumping and bone density, and explains what the findings mean for women over 55. Short bursts of targeted impact were linked to measurable improvements in bone density at the hip and spine in the study population — but the real conversation isn't "should I jump?" It's "am I the right person to jump, and what's the safest way to start?" Emma also introduces REMS, a newer radiation-free bone assessment tool more women are asking about, and explains why knowing your starting point changes your entire plan. This is the nuanced, evidence-based conversation about bone health that every woman over 50 deserves to hear.

Ashwagandha & Perimenopause — What 14 Clinical Trials Actually Show

If you're in perimenopause and feeling wired, exhausted, anxious, and not sleeping — this episode is for you. Clinical naturopath Emma Sutherland breaks down the research on Withania (ashwagandha) and perimenopause — not the wellness blog version, the clinical version. What the trials actually showed. Why the form of the extract determines whether you see results. And the five evidence-based action points she uses in her own clinical practice. Because perimenopause isn't just a hormonal transition. It's a nervous system transition. And one of the most well-researched herbs we have might already be in your cupboard — in the wrong form.
