OESTROGEN DOMINANCE, PELVIC FLOOR, FOODS AND MENTAL HEALTH - 21 February 2011
Hello!
Hope you are having a wonderfully healthy and happy week!
Lots of stuff on today's show - and all the audio and fact sheets are below!
I've just come back from an awesome 4 day weekend in Russel in The Bay of Islands in New Zealand. An absolutely spectacular place, gorgeous scenery, beautiful sunny, warm weather and 2 full days out on the water catching fish - King fish, snapper, couple of sharks and some NZ fish. The big job was to catch some Marlin but it seemed they were getting caught on other people's lines and not our own!
Next time!
But we had an awesome waterfront villa and ate some of the best meals i've ever eaten, including the last night's big cook up of freshly caught fish by us and some chips and salad and vegies!
YUM YUM
The chips were a bit naughty but they were really good shoestring fries so at least they were enjoyable.
On today's show we talk about some different and highly nutritious SNACK BITES and all the info is right here for you!

Have a grande week till we chat again!

Jenny has mentioned the pelvic floor in many of her interviews. We hear about it when discussing pregnancy with women, it is mentioned in pilates and yoga classes and it's apparently tricky to find within yourself. So what is the pelvic floor and how do we keep it in top condition - for both men and women.JOY MOZZI

We are constantly seeing ads on TV and hearing specialists and GP's referring to the condition of IBS. It seems any irritation to do with your digestion, bowels etc can be diagnosed as IBS. Which is difficult when it comes to actually solving the problem and gaining relief from the symptoms. For those that are not happy with just taking the pills and potions to mask the problem, Dr Bill might be able to provide you some insight in to this condition and some natural ways of dealing and treating the issue.

Although we did not have Joy on the show today, last week I was invited by Joy and Caitlin to a raw living foods workshop. Joy is a living foods demonstrator and runs workshops for families, preschools and child care centres and I was delighted to finally attend one and learn some tips in making great, fun, healthy and tasty raw meals. Caitlin lives with her husband and baby son and regularly with her 4 step-daughters.
I was very grateful to be asked by Joy and welcomed by Caitlin to join their family workshop. We had an absolutely fantastic time, the kids enjoyed playing with the food and learning fun, new ways to eat and I was very pleased to take home some super tasty recipes as well as my big belly full of yummy foods we were able to make and taste during the workshop. Below are some photos from the day and also my chat with Caitlin about what it's like to introduce kids and family to a raw foods lifestyle.
For all the details on having your own Raw Living Foods Workshop, visit FRUVENU at their website and contact Joy for more information.

Joy is a Living Foods Workshop Demonstrator and has worked in many child care centres and preschools as well as running in-home living foods demonstrations to help individuals and families learn how easy it is to introduce more living foods in their lives.
Just on Friday I had the opportunity to attend my first workshop with Joy and it was so much fun, I learnt so much and ate myself silly! If you are keen to learn more about including more living raw foods in to your diet, I strongly suggest visiting Joy's website and enquiring about the workshops!

Well, Dr Peter Spitzer, aka Dr Fruit Loop and his team of Clown Doctors spend hours each week helping children and adults in hospitals across Australia laugh and have fun.

All to often, we focus on training in the style we love the most. The style we can do with friends, the style that is the most fun for us. However, a good training program that can help tone your body, help you to lose weight and keep you healthy on the inside, must incorporate a number of different techniques and methods in order for your body to get the most benefit. Today, Kristin talks to us about cardio training, high intensity interval training and resistance training.
