SHY 14: Lunch Lady Lou – Bringing healthy food to busy city women

Meet Linda Ellis (aka Lunch Lady Lou) – she is singlehandedly attempting to change the way that office workers do lunch in Sydney. Although she grew up in a household that cooked meals from scratch, she didn’t develop an interest in food until much later. After a stint working in a busy office, she discovered her new tag “The Healthy Salad Maker” and the rest just grew from there. Having left the busy corporate world behind, she now delivers healthy lunches throughout the Sydney CBD, to a cult following of hungry workers. But like any of my Shiny Healthy You guests, there’s more to this story than just a yarn about healthy food. Listen to Lou as she chats about her run in with cancer, and the change in her mindset that ensued (and the weird and wonderful speed bumps along the way!). Listen to her recount how she drew on her overseas trips for food inspiration, and the shift in perspective that came from comparing other food cultures to our own. If you love to “nerd out” on food, hit play, sit back and enjoy! Some of the quotes throughout this episode are pure GOLD! “Eat this, it’s full of flavour, it’s made with love, and gonna make you smile.” “I just believe everyone should cook with love.” “You will feel like sunshine is coming out of you.” “Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t like kale.” YAY!!! If you want to feel inspired about healthy, nutrient-rich food, this is your go-to girl! Want to see more of Lou?

SHY 13: Rebecca Weller – A Happier Hour

Meet Rebecca (Bex) Weller, health coach, author, and creator of Sexy Sobriety, a program that helps women to reduce their alcohol intake. Bex is a beacon of health and happiness these days, but it wasn’t always this way. From the days of her corporate “work hard, play harder” lifestyle, to turning vegan and giving up the booze, it’s been a wild and crazy ride… so much so that she’s even written a book! In this podcast, you’ll find out how Bex went from calorie counting, frozen dinners and “plastic foods” to eating a nourishing wholefood vegan diet. Discover the unexpected benefits she gained from eating gluten and dairy free (like saying bye bye to eczema and excess weight!). Listen as she shares her struggle with her final health frontier… alcohol… and be inspired by her successful mission to achieve 100 days of sobriety (and learn what she would do differently next time!). Bex is the master of re-framing – in this interview she talks about cooking as a form of self-care, and how to distract yourself so that you’re not focused on what you can’t have. If you’re in the process of giving something up, whether it’s alcohol, a particular food, or an unhealthy lifestyle or habit, there’s so much GOLD in this interview just for you!

Meet Damian Kristof – chiropractor, naturopath, podcaster and multi-passionate wellness entrepreneur. This bloke has spent years immersing himself in research and cutting edge studies, leaving no stone unturned, and this week I’m stoked to be picking his brain about natural health and wellness.

We discuss the advantages of chiropractic care, and look at who might benefit from treatment. Find out the different causes of stress, how it affects the body and how this can all lead to adrenal fatigue. Learn how to balance the body with nutrition during times of stress.
