How To Not Get Sick And Die

What if you don’t need to do deep emotional work to break up with sugar? It’s very easy to get caught up in your story of trauma followed by continuing to eat yourself into oblivion because the deeper you go with your emotional work, the more reasons you’ll find to eat, soothe and comfort yourself - why? It’s familiar and familiar is safe and predictable. Despite that though you likely still want to change so you lose weight and live longer and that’s where today’s podcast gives both hope because it talks about recovering from sugar cravings and sugar binges without putting much emphasis on emotional drivers and instead more focus on the enforced habits and structures that surround your food. On this episode we discussed: How sugar companies sell you stuff unethically Unethical marketing strategies of sugar companies How to deal with your inner rebel - the one that wants the damn chocolate no matter what!Do rules make you rebellious with food? What to do instead. Having clear goals and clear targets to work t

Do you start healthy things and then end up giving up because the timing wasn’t right? You’ve gotta get the timing of your health commitment right otherwise, nothing is going to happen like you want it to - let's get clear on exactly when the right time for change is. In this episode we cover:The reasons why starting later is a good ideaThe factors that get in the way of good progressThe exact right time to start your new health program ***Join the Healthy Mum’s Facebook Group >>HERE<< ***How to Get in Touch with MATTY LANSDOWN              Healthy Mum’s Facebook Group Take the 10 Day Emotional Eating Challenge Send Matty the word ‘PROGRAM’ right here to discuss our programs Join our Email list here    --Intro/Outro track Tropic Love by "Diviners feat.

Have you listened to part 1 of this conversation? Wowee! I recommend starting there at episode 301 to get the first half of this epic conversation. To carry on… whilst vitamin D can solve some people’s sleep problems, it turns out that there are some major implications on sleep if your microbiome is missing species or whether it’s overrun with others as a result of a poor diet for a long time, the consequence can be, poor sleep. Believe it or not your guts create necessary resources for good sleep and if your gut is out of whack (whether you have physical discomfort or not) then it’s likely your sleep is too. It’s all connected and in this conversation we explain how.In this episode we discussed:How vitamin D is connected to the functionality of the microbiome Why the bacterial species in the gut are being wiped out How B vitamins are manufactured by your gut bacteriaWhy B vitamins are called B vitaminsHow your bacterial microbiome disrupts sleep Why vitamin D deficiency AND B vitamin deficiencies are causing

How often do you have an automatic, emotional reaction to a situation? Or are they so automated that you don’t even know what is on auto-pilot and what is your own choice. Developing self awareness is the absolute number 1 most important skill to get better in your life. If you’re unable, or problems keep recurring and the same situation ends up happening time and time again it’s likely you’re lacking the self awareness you need to modify and change your contribution to the problem. On the other side of self awareness is loads of hard work, but eventually it’s peace and a much easier life. On this episode we covered:How to build self awarenessWhy will your life suck for eternity if you aren’t aware of your own failingsWho to ask to be in your self awareness team (easy to get painfully wrong) ***Join the Healthy Mum’s Facebook Group >>HERE<<***How to Get in Touch with MATTY LANSDOWN              Healthy Mum’s Facebook Group Take the 10 Day Emotional Eating Challenge Send Matty the word ‘PROGRAM’ r

Do you have sleep apnea or any sleep issue whatsoever? Yes? Then this episode is for you. Finally a biological, nutritional therapy answer to sleep that isn’t about stressing less and doing meditation (both useful by the way). This is a radically different approach to fixing sleep problems, to the point that these ideas are, firstly, a new problem to the western world that we’ve likely never dealt with on mass before, and, secondly, nutritional strategies being pushed by a medical doctor despite her drug prescribing education. You just have to listen to this and part 2 is on episode 303 - check that out straight after this one. On this episode we discussed: How a medical doctor published new medical hypotheses with nutrition as the answerHow humans have changed their relationship with the sun A lack of migration causes vitamin D deficiencyVitamin D receptors downregulate in the absence of lightWhy old people either stay awake all night or fall asleep when you’re talking to themWhy our skin gets lighter the mo

Do you ever want to ask a podcast host a question directly? Well on this episode, that’s exactly what we did! To celebrate episode 300 we have a collection of recorded audio snippets of guests asking questions and then me answering them. We cover a broad range of topics from intermittent fasting, perimenopause, how to build a business and some painful heartbreak kind of stuff too. It’s a great episode and so nice to include some of you in this celebration as well. On this episode we talked about:What should be the main focus for women’s health and the 3 different life stages How should the diet change during perimenopauseGetting into the sun and soaking up the rays What systems are needed to start a small businessWhat is the most painful discovery I’ve ever hadWhat is my biggest learning after 300 episodes of the podcast Which foods to eat for vitamin K How to get enough protein in whilst Intermittent FastingIs intermittent fasting still useful or relevantMoney belief systems and changing your employee mindse

When you hear detox to think juice cleanse or a fasting retreat? It seems the word detox has been hijacked in the wellness world but being full of mold, heavy metals and unfriendly bacteria is something we need to detox from properly. How do we do that? Well that’s what today's podcast is all about, finding the toxins in our life, in our body and figuring out which functional medicine protocol will effectively get them out. On this episode we talked about:How toxic our modern world is Where toxins are stored in the bodyWhere aren’t toxins - maybe that’s a better question?The Chicago Bull & Michael Jordan Stress and emotional health is a real biological problem to be worked onDo you have random symptoms that could be mold toxicity Do you have to move house to avoid toxins What are can do at home to reduce your toxic exposureWhich tests you need to take to find out your toxic burden How unexplainable symptoms can be related to the toxins you consumeHow heavy metals are dysregulating your hormones Why th

Do you have to take your phone everywhere with you? “Of course I do, doesn’t everyone?”. And yes, pretty much everyone does. However, our attachment, our dependency on this device might just be at the core of all of our health problems, relationship problems and mental health challenges. We may need to significantly change the relationship we have with our phone so that you can reach the goals you say you want to achieve, and just have it feel better to be you! In this episode I talk about your relationship with your phone and give you a challenge at the end to see if you’re strong enough to make those changes. In this call we discuss: Why the attachment to our phone may be fueling other addictive problemsWhy all your excuses for needing your phone are invalid A healthy habit challenge to see if you’ve got what it takes to put your phone down and sit in discomfort***Send Matty the word ‘PROGRAM’ right >>HERE<< to discuss our programs  ***How to Get in Touch with MATTY LANSDOWN              Healt

Do you get confused as to which foods are healthy to buy and which aren’t? It’s easy to be misled as marketing and branding does an incredible job of doing all the thinking for us. In order to know which foods are not good we need to flip the packet over and look at the ingredient list and in this episode I go through 9 foods that are worth looking twice at before you put them into the shopping trolley, if you care about your health and the health of your kids and family. On this episode we chat about:Which vegetable oils to be concerned about Why they’re dangerous and what they do in the body The hateful 8 of the oil world Which frozen foods to steer clear fromWhich meat products are to be avoided What to look for on the ingredient list What the order of the ingredients meansWhat to look for in a butcher How to shop better ***Join the Healthy Mum’s Facebook Group >>HERE<<PROGRAM ENQUIRIES: Send Matty the word ‘PROGRAM’ right >>HERE<< to start your journey to fix your Emotional, Bin

Do you know much about word psychology? Often with our primary language, using it is so automated that we give little thought to the choice of words and how that impacts our day to day reality. The actual reality for many people is that the words they use about their health are non-committal, guilt ridden and lacking responsibility. In this episode I give you a handful of examples of poor word psychology and a better handful of words to use instead, so you can actually commit and achieve your health goals for a change. In this episode we discuss: How words are programming your mind all day every dayWhy your words aren’t leading to actionsHow to restructure your sentences to feel better and to act on your intentions***PROGRAM ENQUIRIES: Send Matty the word ‘PROGRAM’ right >>HERE<< to start your journey to fix your Emotional, Binge & Overeating***How to Get in Touch with MATTY LANSDOWN              Healthy Mum’s Facebook GroupTake the 10 Day Emotional Eating Challenge Send Matty the word ‘PROG

What is your drug of choice? Alcohol, anxiety medication, social media, video games, porn, cocaine, erotica novels? That’s right, your drug of choice doesn’t have to be a drug at all but what that entire list does is triggers dopamine to be released in your brain, the pleasure seeking neurotransmitter and that little gremlin is responsible for always wanting more than we know is good for us. So on today’s podcast we get to understand dopamine, it’s impact on our choices and how we can take back our lives from the cycle of pleasure seeking addiction. On this episode we discussed:What is Dopamine and what does it do for me?The pleasure-pain balance in the brain Why dopamine does not have a stop button How addictive behaviour is fueled by our environment The complex nature of pleasure seeking behaviour Alcoholics anonymous and 12 step programs are amazing toolsThe psychology of willpower Changing your identity will helping changing your addictive behaviour Is it possible to become someone that moderates their in

Do you know who you are? Do you know yourself well enough to stop doing what hasn’t worked and instead set up your life in favour of your personality. Whether you’re social, extroverted, introverted, intrinsically motivated or extrinsically motivated, getting it right can be the difference between living a life full of pride and growth versus living a life full of illness, disease and regret.  In this episode we discuss:Why following trends that don’t suit your personality will lead to failure The connection between personality type and commitment Where to find out more about your own personality***PROGRAM ENQUIRIES: Send Matty the word ‘PROGRAM’ right >>HERE<< to start your journey to fix your Emotional, Binge & Overeating ***How to Get in Touch with MATTY LANSDOWN              Healthy Mum’s Facebook GroupTake the 10 Day Emotional Eating Challenge Send Matty the word ‘PROGRAM’ right here to discuss our programsJoin our Email list here   --Intro/Outro track Tropic Love by "Diviners feat.

Do you have a hard time saying no to your favourite food, over and over and over again? This inability to say no repeatedly is the crux of most people’s health problems and it’s usually verbalised as “I can’t be good for long enough”. If you’re using willpower to be good for long enough then we’re never going to get there and you’ll be stuck on the back and forth for the rest of your life. So, we need to have an entirely different conversation about how you can release yourself from a deprivation and restriction mindset and understand you well enough to wire yourself differently.  On this episode we talked about: The way that sugar talks to you The 5 sugar dependency pathways Justifying yourself into a block of chocolateAbandoning our goals in pursuit of pleasure The pleasure addict culture that sugar marketing has created Kids and their phone addictions lead to more sugar advertising Dopamine is driving your need to be in the sugar addiction cycle Why are you so easily manipulated by yourself Every emotion l

Do you ever blame your childhood for your life situation as an adult? It seems that we’re always victims to our childhood self, often a smaller, vulnerable, more damaged version of who we'd rather be. Changing who you are so you can be fit and healthy in all aspects of life is extremely hard work but maybe that’s because we’re all going about it the wrong way. In this hard hitting episode there is loads of real talk about how you can change the story of your life to one you’d be proud to tell your grandchildren about. On this episode we discuss:How your childhood trauma creates the narrative for your life Why people prefer the victim status How choosing pain and suffering means you’re being a victim to yourself Why changing your life narrative is so hard How to make sure everything you do works out The difference between willpower and force as a self coaching toolHow to change your mindset Kindness is a muscle you need to exercise***Join the Healthy Mum’s Facebook Group >>HERE<<***Where to fi

Do you ever order fast food, or eat a type of chocolate bar or have a beer for old times sake? Keeping memories alive with food and drink is something we as humans have done for a very long time but when it becomes an unhealthy obsession of keeping a dream alive from a long time ago then you can eat yourself into all sorts of health problems, not really knowing how you got here. Well in this episode we address emotional eating to keep old memories alive and how to break up with this burdensome cycle. In this episode we chat about: How emotional eating can be reliving a painful past memory How to detoxify the present moment to prevent emotional eatingFinding a new ritual to build a healthy future ***Join the Healthy Mum’s Facebook Group  >>HERE<<***How to Get in Touch with MATTY LANSDOWNHealthy Mum’s Facebook GroupTake the 10 Day Emotional Eating Challenge HereSend Matty the word ‘PROGRAM’ right HERE to discuss our programsJoin our Email list Here--Intro/Outro track Tropic Love by "Diviners fea

Do you eat your food so quickly that you’re disappointed when it’s all gone? If yes then you’re probably eating too quickly which can cause gut pain, and gastrointestinal symptoms as well as meaning that you don’t digest your food properly and thus don’t extract all of the available nutrition that your body needs. In this episode we can fix that with these 6 mindful eating tips.In this episode we cover:The 4-7-8 Breathwork for better digestionExploring flavours to truly get to know your foodHow to eat mindfully ***Join the Healthy Mum’s Facebook Group >>HERE<<***Links Mentioned in the episode: 4-7-8 BreathworkHerb & Spice Mixes–How to Get in Touch with MATTY LANSDOWN              Healthy Mum’s Facebook GroupTake the 10 Day Emotional Eating ChallengeSend Matty the word ‘PROGRAM’ right here to discuss our programsJoin our Email list here  --Intro/Outro track Tropic Love by "Diviners feat.

Do you hold anger or resentment in your body because of someone in your past? You know they say that resent is like drinking poison and hoping the other person will die - this old quote captures the essence of this podcast well as we talk about how emotional healing and different therapeutic modalities are used to either continue your narrative of victim suffering OR actually heal your emotional body so that your physical body can stop showing up with symptoms & diseases to then finally recover itself after all these years of suffering. On this episode we discuss: Is belief in the modality required for therapy to actually workWhy does talk therapy keep you stuck in the problem How long do you need to have a problem before you're ready to resolve itWhy technology based frequency is accepted and biological frequency is rejectedThe core wounds that all humans have Realising the way you describe the past keeps you in it The relationship between emotional pain and disease Why being too intelligent might hi

Do you remember the pain you’ve suffered? Of course you do. But is that memory helping or harming you? Moving you forward or keeping you stuck? In this episode I talk about why the human brain is not great at memory and how remembering that you might not remember so well can help you let go of the pain that came with that traumatic experience that you’re carrying. On this episode we chat about:Why forensic science shows that your memory isn’t accurate The unicorn memory problem - how the brain gets it wrongHow the power of your memory is fueling bad behaviours ***Join the Healthy Mum’s Facebook Group >>HERE<<***How to Get in Touch with MATTY LANSDOWN              Healthy Mum’s Facebook GroupTake the 10 Day Emotional Eating ChallengeSend Matty the word ‘PROGRAM’ right here to discuss our programsJoin our Email List here    --Intro/Outro track Tropic Love by "Diviners feat.
