Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition and I am delighted to welcome Bronwyn Schweigerdt to the podcast. Bronwyn, how are you?

I'm good. Thank you for saying my first name very well. It's rare.

Stu

Oh, well, Bronwyn is a very popular name in Australia.

Stu

(01:47)

Bronwyn

Stu

(01:59)

Well, look, thank you so much again for your time, but first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself please.

Bronwyn

(02:09)

Yeah, so I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in California. I came about becoming a therapist, I have an interesting journey that is comical, I guess. So I came to become a therapist later in life because I myself really, really, really needed a good therapist because I fell into a pit of depression where I was barely functioning and I was getting physically ill. So I sought out a therapist and as dysfunctional as I was and as hard as my life was, I thought to myself, I know even right now I could do a better job than she's doing to me. And then I found other therapists and I felt that way with all of them. So I thought I'm going to go back to school and get a second master's degree and become a therapist, and that was part of my healing journey, actually.

Well, I've been teaching craniosacral therapy for as long as I remember. Actually, it started in 1990. That's an exact date. I still remember that. I've been doing nothing else since then. I had a practice for about 20 years. Then while I was teaching also, but the rest of the time up to now I just teach craniosacral therapy a little bit all over the world. We just came back from Taiwan where we taught a month, and then we go to Mexico next week for a 10-day class, Italy, Prague, the Netherlands, and US, of course. I published one book about craniosacral. I happen to have it here next to me. It's Craniosacral Therapy for Babies and Small Children. That's a little bit the only book that's available about that subject. Soon, another one is going to come out a little more about also craniosacral, of course. I'm just teaching craniosacral. That's what I do.

She is a certified Health and Wellbeing Coach, an accredited Grey Area Drinking Coach, a motivational speaker and a passionate ambassador for helping as many women as possible to live their best life. She is also an ex Grey Area Drinker. She finally quit booze in April 2019 and never looked back!

Some questions asked during this episode:

• Is alcohol the best approach when wanting to destress after a hectic day?
• What are the less obvious signs that we may be drinking too much/often?
• What do you say to those who reference ‘everything in moderation’?

https://180nutrition.com.au/

Each episode we cut to the chase as we hang out with real people with real results. This week I'm excited to welcome Sarah Rusbatch to the podcast. Sarah is an accredited sobriety and gray area drinking coach based in Perth and also the face behind Perth's alcohol free movement. In this episode, we discussed the finer points of gray area drinking, uncover whether alcohol really is the best tool to distress after a hectic day at the office, and also dive into the less obvious signs that we may be drinking too much. Over to Sarah.

Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition and I am delighted to welcome Sarah Rusbatch to the podcast. Sarah, how are you?

Sarah

(01:09)

I'm very well, thanks. How are you?

Stu

(01:10)

Yeah, good. Really, really good. Excited to get into this particular topic today because I know that alcohol in particular is close to many people's hearts and there are lots of nuances where alcohol is concerned. So I think that you'll be the perfect person to expand on that. But first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself please.

Sarah

(01:37)

Thank you for the introduction. So I'm Sarah Rusbatch. I'm from the UK. I live over in Perth in Western Australia, and I'm a Gray Area Drinking Coach, which is probably not a job title that many people have heard of before. When people ask me what I do, I'm always like, should I give the long answer or the short answer? Because it's not a title that people go, "Oh yeah, I know exactly what that is." So maybe I can start off by explaining to you what is gray area drinking?

  Hey guys, this is Stu from one 180 Nutrition, and I am delighted to welcome back Dr. William Davis to the podcast, Dr. Davis. How are you?

  Dr Davis

  (01:25)
  
  I'm terrific. Stuart, gladly back.

  Stu

  (01:27)
  
  No. Thank you so much. For everyone perhaps out there that may not have listened to our first conversation, not familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

  Dr Davis

  (01:40)
  
  Well, I started very conventionally, Stuart, practicing cardiology, this thing called interventional cardiology where you abort heart attacks and put stents in, drill out people's arteries, those kinds of things, blockages. But I had an odd turn in my life, and that was my mom who was living in New Jersey at the time. I had just moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, about a thousand miles away, and I got a call that she died suddenly about four months after her successful two vessel coronary angioplasty. In other words, she died after a procedure that I was doing. I didn't do my mom's of course, but I was doing that simple kind of procedure every day, many times a day.

  (02:20)
  
  But it was a vivid illustration, Stuart, of how fruitless, how pointless, how dangerous it is to try to manage a disease like heart disease in an laboratory, in a cath lab. Because many people, as you know, you've heard these headlines, many people never survive who get to the hospital. They die at home or route. And so I asked this question, this is now back 30 years ago, I asked, could we have identified my mom being at risk a year ahead of time, five years, 10 years? Well, back then, we all thought cholesterol was that tool. Of course, it's proven to be a miserable failure as a preventative tool, though a wonderful source of revenue for the pharmaceutical industry, and they've managed to brainwash an entire generation of physicians into thinking that cholesterol and statin drugs are the cure for heart disease. Of course, they are not. They're not even close. They're barely having any impact at all. That's why in the U.S., 80 million people, Stuart, more than 80 million people take statin drugs, and there's been virtually no impact on the incidence of heart disease.

Good. How are you?

Stu

(01:25)

Yeah. Very, very good. Thank you. As we mentioned before just off camera, very, very excited to talk about this subject today and pick your brains a little bit because it's a question that comes out almost daily with our audience as well and seems to be ramping up in terms of the prevalence of this particular topic. But first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

Dafna

(01:58)

Yeah. Absolutely. So my name is Dafna Chazin. I'm a registered dietician and I help women with PCOS balance their hormones, reverse their symptoms. And I've been in the field of nutrition for over a decade. I've worked in a lot of different settings, but recently in the past five years, I've landed in the women's health and hormone space, partly because I struggled with hormonal issues myself. I don't have PCOS, but I've struggled with many of the symptoms that women with PCOS experience, like acne and hair growth and painful periods, anxiety, digestive issues. You name it, I've had it. And over the years when I was really struggling, it was a time where my stress was really high. I was in the military actually. My diet wasn't so great, but I wasn't making the connection between what was happening with my hormones and my symptoms and the diet and nutrition. I always thought my nutrition and food only impacts my weight, and that's about it. And now we know that that is absolutely not true.

(01:12)

Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition, and I am delighted to welcome Martin Silva back to the podcast. Martin, mate, how are you?

Martin

(01:19)

I'm really good, thanks, my man. How are you?

Stu

(01:22)

Yeah, very good. Very good. It's been too long, so really, really keen to tap into some of your wisdom today. But first up, for any of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, haven't listened to any of... I think we've done two or three previous episodes, which have been packed full of the most amazing information on body transformation, health and wellness, all of that stuff. I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself please.

Martin

(01:48)

Sure, yeah. Thanks again for having me on, Stu. Really, really appreciate it. [inaudible 00:01:51] just set off here then. I'm sure I've been on this podcast more than Stu, this is like my fifth time or something. Awesome. Yeah, a little bit more about myself. As some of the audience might know, I'm huge... Health and fitness is my life essentially, so I live, breathe, and eat a healthy lifestyle, and I've built a career out of that as well. And I've been within the fitness industry for 15, 16 years now. It sounds crazy, but I still feel like I'm in my early twenties, but I'm actually coming up to 36 now. And I was a qualified personal trainer from the age of 20, and always played sports from a young age, and I've always been just so passionate about fitness.

(02:28)

And now it's got to the point where I always say to people, something might start off as your passion, but then it becomes your purpose. Now it's literally, it's my purpose, and what I'm doing now, obviously with the transformation program and everything else... Because I was a personal trainer face-to-face for about 13 years, and then I built an online transformation program, actually just before COVID happened, about three years ago, and I'm having a much bigger impact this way as well. Because as we talked about before, and we'll talk about today, really helping people change their mindset, really upgrade the way they think, and just basically think at a better level, and change their relationship with food and alcohol, which we all know, the stuff outside of the gym... A lot of my clients love the gym part. You know what I mean? That's the fun part. But the stuff outside of the gym, some of them have had more struggles than others in terms of behavior change and everything else.

(03:19)

But a bit more about myself. I moved over to Oz just like Stu did quite a few years ago. I haven't been here as long as Stu, but I've been here for six years now. So moved over to Oz, came over here for a year from Wales in the UK, and fast-forward six years, I'm still here, permanent resident now, and living in Sydney, living the dream. And Stu's living even more of the dream up there in Byron Bay, you know what I mean? So we can't complain, mate.

This week. I'm excited to welcome Dr. Damon Ashworth to the podcast. Dr. Ashworth is a clinical psychologist and considered an expert in the field of sleep and treatments for insomnia. He recently completed his first book on the subject called Deliberately Better Sleep. In this conversation, we discuss strategies on getting to sleep, staying asleep, and improving the overall quality of our sleep, something that we should all pay close attention to. Over to Dr. Ashworth.

(01:16)

Hey, guys. This is Stu from 180 Nutrition, and I am delighted to welcome Dr. Damon Ashworth to the podcast. Dr. Ashworth, but I'm going to call you Damon for the purposes of this conversation, as we just discussed, thank you for joining us. How are you? And first up, before we get into the nitty-gritty of the conversation, I would love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

Damon

(01:41)

Sure. Yeah. I'm Damon. I'm a clinical psychologist. So I did my research at Monash University in Australia. It was a clinical trial where we saw people with insomnia and depression, and they'd been given antidepressants, and they weren't improving as much as they'd like to. So we gave them four sessions of CBTI or cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, and we found that it improved their sleep, but it also improved their mood and depression, their anxiety, their stress, and also their fatigue. So it had a huge impact.

  So, I was always very passionate about health and wellness. I always had this intuitive knowing that the body has the potential to heal basically anything, that we are created perfectly, so to speak. And I was always very, very interested in finding ways to assist that natural process in a powerful way. I opened a natural pharmaceutical company where I helped thousands of people with amazing, amazing products for many years, and it was a really gratifying experience. I really loved it. And after a decade of doing that, I sold the whole business to Walgreens.

She is a lifestyle and spirituality coach who is re-energizing common fitness and nutritional goals by revealing what is truly motivating them. In this episode, we discuss why so many of us know what we should be doing, but struggle to take the right path, how long new healthy habits take to become second nature and so much more.

Stu: This week, I'm excited to welcome Matt Maruca to the podcast. Matt Maruca is an entrepreneur, educator and founder of Ra Optics, a company at the forefront of blue light blocking eyewear solutions.  He joins us to unpack the science behind how light drives mitochondrial function and circadian rhythms.

Some questions asked during this episode:

•  What’s the big deal with blue light?
• Is there an optimal time to start blocking this out?
• What can we do to ensure that we stay asleep during the night?

https://180nutrition.com.au/

This week I'm excited to welcome Matt Maruca to the podcast. Matt is an entrepreneur, educator, and founder of Ra Optics, a company at the forefront of blue light blocking eyewear solutions that eliminate wavelengths of light that can ultimately compromise our health. In this conversation, we discuss the issues associated with blue light exposure and dig deep into how addressing this can lead to more quality restorative sleep. Over to Matt. Hey, guys, this is Stu from 180Nutrition and I am delighted to welcome Matt Maruca to the podcast. Matt, how are you, buddy?

Matthew

(01:05)

I'm doing really well. Thank you, Stu.

Stu

(01:07)

No, it's great. Very, very interested to talk to you on this topic today. And for our listeners, it's going to be very focused on blue light, so something that affects us all. But before we get into the conversation, and first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work or your company, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

Matthew

(01:28)

Yeah. Well my name's Matt Maruca. I'm from the United States, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. And I got into the health and wellness world at a pretty young age. I'm 23 years old now, but I started when I was basically 13, basically a decade ago, researching health, because I had some challenges of my own. I spent my entire high school years in the classroom, but mentally not in the classroom, reading all the books I could about nutrition and health. And I got into the paleo diet and primal nutrition and all that stuff. Chris Kresser, Rob Wolf, Marxist, and Ben Greenfield in 2014 when it was still really paleo. There's no restaurant menus with paleo. Now I'm in Bali at the moment and every restaurant has a paleo menu or something like that, more or less. But back then you were kind of like, paleo, what's that like the Stone Age?

(02:27)

It was a different kind of thing. And so, I was just trying to improve my own symptoms, which were mostly just gut-ish, gut discomfort, headaches, allergies, and these types of things. And this whole journey led me to a really cool subject of light and how light affects our health. I came across a really niche group of people, doctors, neurosurgeons, bloggers, talking about light and mitochondria and how it affects everything in our body. And particularly, this idea that struck me was the idea that we're so much more complex than just calories in, calories out, than just our food making up who we are. The idea you are what you eat. Well, there's some truth to that. But at the end of the day, if our metabolism isn't working optimally, for example, for a number of reasons, we could be eating the most perfect diet, but it wouldn't necessarily lead to perfect health.

(03:32)

And the thing about light that interested me in this, in mitochondria, which are cellular engines, for those who don't know, and we could talk a little bit about them, but it was that the entire metabolism is primarily governed by light. So, for example, the metabolism's more active during the day. Well, why is that? Because that's when the sun is active and we have power for digestion. And the metabolism's basically turned off at night while we're sleeping. Well, why is that? Because there's no sun, there's no power. And so, we don't have the ability to break down things. And so, there's even studies showing out of variety of labs and researchers that when we eat a really, you could feed an animal in tests they've done a healthy meal at the wrong time of day and it's actually worse for their system than an unhealthy meal at the right time of day.

(04:25)

So, it's imagine, you put fuel or some kind of harmful substance into an engine that's barely running, it could clog it all up. But you put something that's saying substance into an engine that's cranking it full gear and it might be able to burn through it a little faster. That's a way people can kind of visualize it. So, it doesn't mean we should eat bad food. Obviously, nutrition's critical, but the way we're doing it is really important as well. And the timing and the light we're exposed to. So, this was the kind of stuff I was looking at when I was like 15, 16. And I knew this was big even then. So, when I graduated from school, I started a business making blue light protection eyewear, because I learned that blue light, this part of the manmade light spectrum can disrupt our body's rhythm, our circadian rhythm.

(05:16)

And it's a buzzword now, circadian rhythms, but back then it was pretty advanced science. And that's how I got into this. It was a bit of a progression and things have evolved quite a lot. That was over five years ago now that I started the business. And I'm grateful and honored that we've had a big impact on the space, because a lot of other companies followed suit. People thought in the beginning, no one's going to wear colored lenses. It's just weird. But we were the ones, I said, well, I know I need this from me and I know there's this niche community who needs this, so I'm going to make it. I don't care if the rest of the world wants it or not. And we're going to make them look good. Because in the beginning, people were wearing these ugly safety goggles. Maybe you remember that.

This week I'm excited to welcome Chris Kresser to the podcast. He’s a globally recognised leader in the fields of ancestral health, paleo nutrition, and functional / integrative medicine. He is the creator of ChrisKresser.com, one of the top 25 natural health sites in the world, and the author of the New York Times best seller, Your Personal Paleo Code (published in paperback in December 2014 as The Paleo Cure). Chris has been studying, practicing, and teaching alternative medicine for more than fifteen years.

Chris’s work is informed by his own experience recovering from a chronic, complex illness which began while he was traveling in Southeast Asia in his early 20’s. After seeing more than twenty doctors around the world and spending thousands of dollars in an effort to diagnose and treat his condition, Chris decided to take his health into his own hands.

Through extensive study and research, continual self-experimentation, and formal training in integrative medicine, he recovered from this debilitating illness and went on to share what he learned with others through his popular blog, podcast, and private practice.

Some questions asked during this episode:

• Is nutrient deficiency common these days if following a ‘healthy diet’?
• What is the most accurate method to measure our nutrient profile?
• What are the most common deficiencies?

  Hey guys. This is Stu from 180 Nutrition, and I am delighted to welcome back Chris Kresser to the podcast. Chris, how are you?

  Chris

  (00:59)

  I'm great, Stu. It's a pleasure to be back with you.

  Stu

  (01:03)

  Oh. Look, I really, I'm really looking forward to this conversation, because you are one of the big players, the heavy hitters in this industry with a voice, I think, that people respect, and you've had a whole heap of conversations that have been extremely thought-provoking. But for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, and there won't be many, but I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit more about yourself, please.

  Chris

  (01:29)

  Sure. I'll give you the very short version. I was in my early 20s, traveling in Indonesia, not too far from you and doing some surfing, and I got really sick with a classic kind of tropical illness. It was actually near death in a little village in [inaudible 00:01:48] for a few days and, fortunately, an Aussie who was staying in that village had some antibiotics that helped bring me back from the brink, and that started what became a 10-plus year journey back to health. Along the way, I discovered functional medicine and a paleo type of diet, both of which were instrumental in my recovery.

  (02:12)
  
  As I made progress in my own journey, people began to ask questions. They saw what was happening with me, and they saw how sick I was, and how I was recovering, and they got curious. I shared what I had learned along the way, and at some point a lo in that process, I decided to go back to school to study medicine, functional medicine, in order to translate that experience into something that could help other people. And so about 12, 13 years ago, I started my functional medicine practice, treated thousands of patients since then, and then in 2016 started a training program for other functional medicine doctors to train them in functional medicine, and then launched a health coach program and wrote some books.

Stu

(01:24)

No, thank you so much for sharing some of your time, and we've got some very interesting questions that I want to put to you today because I know that we've got many people out there that have lots of different thoughts and perspectives on some of the things that we're going to speak to you about a little bit later on. So before we dive into those, and for all of those that may not be familiar with you or your work or your company, et cetera, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

Ashoka

(01:52)

Yeah, okay, thank you. Okay, so I'll try and keep this super brief but relevant for the future conversation. So I guess my original background was as a chemical engineer. And so as part of a chemical engineer, when I came out of school, I went to university, studied physics, chemistry, maths. And I had a trainee shift, which meant I worked as a chemical engineer by day and studied at night and did a hard slog for many, many years, but had a science and analytical background. That went well for a number of years, I was full of ambition and drive. I would best describe myself back then as I was young, egotistical, intellectual, and a little bit arrogant, so as I reflect back on myself. And that got me through life to a certain point, but due to my heavy workload and uni load, I quickly drove myself into the ground, found myself with a near midlife crisis around the age of 22.
