The Re-Invent Health Podcast

This the latest episode of the Re-Invent Health Podcast, I chat with Gary Jackson from Jackson’s Real Food Market about Real Food.

We will will also be talking about our upcoming MasterClass starting on 23 May. This will take place over 3 Thursday evenings live at the Bryanston Store. And will give you a chance to really understand how what you eat is affecting your health and longevity. We will debunk many diet related myths and teach you how to nurture your brain and body with real food. I can guarantee that by the end of the Masterclass you will never go looking for a diet ever again or be tempted to try a fad that you see online.

Hi Everyone In episode 91 I have the wonderful Niki Seberini back on the show. This time dive deeper into what each and everyone of us can do to manage stress, anxiety and optimise our health better. All through the one modality we have available to us at any time. That being our breath. Breathwork is the missing key to optimal health. You don't have to go outside of yourself to find it, nor do you have to join a club or spend lots of money in order to access it. You just have to consciously shift it and the benefits are extraordinary. According to Dr Darragh O'Carroll breathwork may: - boost mood - decrease high blood pressure - deepen relaxation - help with symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) - improve alertness, focus, and memory - increase heart rate variability (a metric associated with longevity, fitness, and mental health) - promote creativity - promote quality sleep - soothe emotions associated with grief and trauma - reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression - reduce symptoms of asthma - reduce symptoms of stress You can contact Niki at nikiseberini.com #breathworkfacilitator #breathismedicine #breathwork #breathe #breatheeasy #nikiseberini #halcyon #calmmoment

In this short episode I am going to answer one of the questions that I get sent time and time again. That being, how can I manage IBS, it’s ruining my life. Anyone who has ever suffered with long term abdominal pain will know how difficult it is to treat let alone cure IBS and how many different approaches you have to try before finding some kind of relief, only for it to be temporary. I do need to emphasise up front that if you are suffering from any health concern, your first port of call should always be your doctor. It is really important to rule out any serious medical conditions first.

Mention running to many people and they visibly cringe. When I started running I had no idea that in order to cover significant mileage comfortably you actually needed to keep your heart rate low from beginning to end, which is why it took me so many years to learn to enjoy running. A couple of months ago I came across the Mindful Runners website I contacted Jurgen and began my journey of learning to slow down, become aware of my physiological responses to exercise and be mindful of building an acerbic foundation. With consistent practice and the right coaching, it is indeed possible to change a lifetime of un-resourceful training habits. In this episode I chat with Jurgen Vogt - ultra endurance athlete with a degree in sport psychology, certified Life Coach, BreathWork coach and a UESCA certified Ultra-Running Coach. Jurgen explains just how and why everyone can enjoy and have fun running if done the right way. You can contact Jurgen directly through www.mindfulrunner.co.za or at jurgen@mindfulrunner.co.za
