Gut Girl Podcast
Hosted by Georgia-May Parker · EN
Hi! I am a psychologist (& past gut sufferer) interviewing top experts in gut health and wellbeing, and I'm so excited to be connecting you with the expertise that could help you.
For nearly 10 years I lived with constant gut pain. I saw expert after expert. Nothing took the pain away.
Desperate, I went looking for answers online and found a TSUMANI of contradictory gut health information, leaving me feeling utterly overwhelmed. Eventually, with support, I opened my eyes to a multidimensional approach to my gut health. This changed everything; the pain went away and I found my solution! I hope that you can too.
New podcast episode every fortnight!

Don’t Be Fooled: Know Your Farmer, Know the Ecosystem on Your Plate - Your Gut Will Thank You - with Nick Holliday
4w ago00:52:35Tap to summarizeLess than a year ago, I didn't even know what "organic" really meant — let alone anything about regenerative farming. Today, passionate farmer Nick Holliday from Belvedere Farm joins me to share what regenerative agriculture and agroecology (that is: farming with nature, not against it) actually look like in practice, which labels to look for when buying good quality produce, and how to connect with your local farmer. Nick has a gift for making it all click, and this episode is seriously eye-opening — because the health of the animals and the land they're raised on doesn't just end up on our plates. It ends up in our guts.Do you live in Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast? Get your ethical, local pasture raised pork, grass fed and finished beef and pasture raised eggs from Nick directly at Belvedere Farm: https://www.belvederefarm.com.au/Want to find good quality local produce for delivery near you?

Being Your Own Mental Health Advocate: Challenges in the Australian Mental Health Culture - with Dr Paul Denborough
Apr 1000:38:19Tap to summarizePerhaps you’re noticing the way your mind impacts your body (particularly your gut!) and you’re wanting to get some more help with your state of mind. In Australia, it can be really confusing to know where to start when it comes to trying to improve your mental health - do you get a mental health diagnosis? Do you take medication or try psychotherapy? If medication (such as an SSRI) helps, does that mean you had a chemical imbalance in your brain? What if medication doesn’t work, what does that mean about your brain? Dr Paul Denborough is here to shed light on these kinds of questions today. He is a psychiatrist with over 20 years of clinical experience and is co-founder of the exciting new mental health awareness campaign titled the ‘Not Broken Project’ with the University of Adelaide.To learn more about the Not Broken Project you can visit:https://thesocialprescription.com.au/announcing-our-podcast/Do you want to learn more about the mind-gut connection?
