TWG 289: Understanding Gut Health

Gut health continues to be the topic de jour in health and wellness circles and for some people it seems to be creating a bit of confusion. Enter Damian Kristof to clear the fog. In this episode, Laurence and Brett pick Damian’s mind about how we work out what is actually wrong with the gut and whether some of the programs and approaches being actively promoted at the moment may, in fact, be doing more harm than good. Damian gives everyone a clear path to follow to work out what is wrong with them and what they need to do about it (including who they need to speak to get a proper diagnosis and individualised plan of attack). So tune in to get the lowdown on gut health and how you can get yours back on track.

TWG 286: From Homeless to Spartan Racer with Leanne Anders

In this week’s episode, we explore how one woman was able to transform a troubled teen life to a mother and wife of an incredible family.  Life is never without its obstacles.  But for Leanne Anders (co-host of Bumi’s World), the obstacles began early in life.   From a troubled past including being homeless at 16 years of age, she fought through many difficulties, challenges and demons to find a better life.
Where most people would have given up, or guided down the wrong path in life, Leanne describes her battles and demons to overcome these obstacles and become a leader in her community.  She opens up to some of these challenges for the very first time and shows how she overcame these challenges in the past and present.
She discusses why she enter the Spartan Trifecta Race recently and how she was able to overcome a significant injury in the first of three big races.  She will share with you the lessons she learned and what she has taken away from it.
She will inspire you and set you up to create the most incredible year ahead of you.

TWG 281: Sex, Wellness and Empowerment.

After 281 episodes the boys finally bite the bullet and talk about sex. Not an easy topic for 3 blokey blokes with a predominantly female audience (Laurence can barely get the word out in his intro) so the boys decided to get in a sexpert and the conversation goes well beyond just sex. This week the boys talk to Elise Carr from Stella Muse about all things wellness, empowerment, and of course sex. Be sure to tune in for what is a fantastic discussion about male and female roles, empowerment, relationships and life.

As another year draws towards a close Brett and Laurence start to get a but philosophical about what is in store for next year. How do they decide what they want to achieve? Where to out their energy? What to start? What to stop? And how do all of these decision impact on their health, wellness and happiness.
