Today I talk to meditation master, teacher, author and keynote speaker, Tom Cronin. In his previous life, Tom was a bonds and inflation swaps broker for 26 years, this highly stressful career choice found Tom turning to meditation for help. Tom found that meditation not only helped, it transformed his life.  So much so that he left his career to establish The Stillness Project, a program aimed at helping others transform their lives, just as he did, by teaching the power of stillness and calm through deep meditation. Tom has a fervent passion and is fully committed to helping reduce stress and chaos in people’s lives, as well as helping unlock our brilliance and inner stillness through meditation - cultivating peace, calm and abundance. He has been teaching meditation for many years now and has inspired thousands of people all over the world.   Connect with Tom Cronin: https://stillnessproject.com https://www.tomcronin.com https://www.instagram.com/tomcronin See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

Why a healthy nervous system is vital for our overall wellbeing

In today’s episode I get to chat to the one & only Pete Evans, a celebrity chef, an author, a documentary producer, a father to two teen girls & husband to Nicola. Pete is not only known in Australia and across the globe as a celebrity chef from My Kitchen Rules and The Paleo Way. Pete is also well recognised for the beautiful and often controversial voice that he gives to alternative ways of living, being & doing. As many of us know, Pete frequently hits the headlines and is labeled a conspiracist by most media outlets, who incessantly try to dispute his comments as he continually pushes the envelope by challenging the status quo through questioning the narrative of mainstream thinking. I absolutely love Pete's incredible tenacity and passion for sharing information to help people see more broadly, think more openly and question absolutely everything! Like many of you, I ﬁrst became aware of Pete from My Kitchen Rules and it became very obvious that Pete's passion for the Paleo Way and his desire to empower people to take their health into their own hands was something he was completely evangelistic about. Raising topics like self care, self education, self governance and encouraging people to try something different to “see how it felt for them and their bodies” was refreshing and exactly the guidance that many people were searching for. With so many topics that are hot right now and that Pete Evans is passionate about, there are obviously a multitude of different directions I could take this interview in, however, today I want to understand more about Pete Evans.   Links: https://peteevans.com https://www.instagram.com/chefpeteevans/

In this episode I talk to Max Thomas and we discuss the importance hormones play in our bodies, and how they change as we get older. Whilst our hormones naturally deplete, it is possible to enhance our hormones to individual optimal levels through bio-identical hormone replacement therapy or HRT - this practice is now commonly referred to as regenerative medicine. We can intervene in our natural ageing process and reduce the impact on the mind and body.

Anti-aging, is there really such a thing
