One Body One Life with Vicki Nguyen

In today's episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Bessie Kay, a TV presenter and producer who is currently a part of the production team behind Wild Food on SBS Food. Bessie's journey in the entertainment industry started off as a talented dancer and singer, where she made a name for herself in the Australian Musical Theatre scene before transitioning to TV and media. Her illustrious career has been a central part of her life for the majority of her years in the industry. Bessie shares her personal journey of self-discovery and growth. After some introspection, Bessie realized that there was something not quite right about the way she was operating. She discusses what it was like growing up as a creative Greek girl in a small regional town in Australia, as well as the personal challenges she had to overcome. Bessie also delves into her unique mindset and philosophy of "Blend over Balance" and how it helped her break through and conquer her inner demons.

Today on the podcast I am speaking with Dr. Thomas Lodi, who is the founder of Oasis International, where he works with his team of experts to bring a kinder, more gentle, integrative approach to cancer care. Dr. Lodi is licensed as both an Allopathic Medical Doctor (also known as an MD) and an Integrative and Homeopathic Medical Doctor.

 

Graduating from the University Hawaii School of Medicine in 1985, Dr. Lodi has since dedicated his life to studying cancer and developing effective treatment protocols. Having worked as an Internal Medicine Specialist, urgent care physician, and as an intensivist at various hospitals, Dr. Lodi has been able to narrow his scope of practice to ‘integrative oncology' – a holistic form of cancer care that integrates the best of conventional medicine with alternative therapies and lifestyle interventions.

Fashion industry veteran and former Judge on Project Runway Australia, Sarah Gale migrated from the competitive fashion industry, to pioneer the journey into the aesthetics of the soul.

 

As Founder of Wearing Your Worth®, Sarah says ‘Through my own journey and many hours with clients, I discovered that our wardrobe speaks to us if we are willing to listen; our clothes can reveal our greatest desires and biggest fears.

An accredited Coach and mother of two, Sarah is passionate about living an authentic life and continually honing her willingness to live transparently with love, courage and vulnerability.

Dr Alan Desmond - doctor, Gastroenterologist, General Physician and author of The Plant-Based Diet Revolution. Alan currently lives with his family in Devon, UK and works as a full time NHS Consultant.

 

Certified in both Gastroenterology and General Internal Medicine, Alan completed his specialist training in Ireland and Oxford. He has a special interest in the role of diet in the prevention and treatment of digestive diseases.

 

As a doctor specialising in gut health, Alan has made evidence-based dietary advice an essential part of his clinical practice. The results he has seen in his gastroenterology clinic have led him to become a dedicated advocate for the gut health benefits, and overall health benefits, of a whole-food plant-based approach to nutrition.

 

Dr Alan Desmond believes that “We can transform our health and revolutionise our quality of life by simply eating more plants” and that “the evidence overwhelmingly supports a whole-food, plant-based diet as the optimal diet for human health and longevity. The more plant-based, the better”.

Simon Hill is a qualified Physiotherapist and Nutritionist who is extremely passionate about making nutritional information simple and accessible so that people can make informed decisions about the food they feed themselves and their family.

 

As a Physiotherapist Simon has treated people from all walks of life, including professional AFL & VFL footballers. Over the years, however, Simon became increasingly curious about the role nutrition played in nourishing the body and preventing disease.

 

Simon decided to dive deep into the available literature on nutrition & disease and soon became fascinated by the vast evidence that proved that simple lifestyle changes could help to prevent and even reverse many of the leading chronic diseases that plague the western world today.

 

Concerned with the fact that this information was not reaching people but was instead getting lost amidst the myriad of marketing ploys pushed by industries who were more interested in profits than the health, Simon shifted gears in his career undertaking a Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate and a Masters in Nutrition.

 

During this time, Simon set up plantproof.com and began hosting world-renowned doctors and public figures, on his own podcast Plant Proof & he just recently launched his sensational first book The Proof is in the Plants.

Today I talk all things happiness with my dear friend Dani Stevens. After meeting online almost 5 years ago, Dani & I hit it off straight away and not long later we met in person and have been besties ever since. Dani is a natural born motivator, she is full of energy, effervescent and a mother of four who works hard everyday to ensure her family are all living their best lives.

 

In her previous life Dani worked in IT, sales, marketing & management, but its her role as a mother that really lights her up the most. She has relished in being a stay-at-home mum since 2007 and has created an incredible following via her online platforms where she shares recipes, fitness ideas and lifestyle inspiration with the world.

 

I wanted to use this opportunity of inviting Dani onto the podcast to discuss happiness. We all know how important it is to be happy and living a fulfilling life that lights you up over the times when we aren’t feeling as happy.

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.
