In this episode, we talk openly about the challenges of navigating the holiday season and the importance of setting boundaries to protect our well-being. Jaxson shares his personal experience with socially masking—how it may seem like he's enjoying himself on the outside, but on the inside, he's just surviving. He opens up about how having someone like Hillary, who understands his needs and helps him stay grounded, has made all the difference. We discuss the power of setting boundaries in advance and how crafting thoughtful responses to invitations can help honor both our own needs and the people we care about. It’s not about being unavailable—it’s about taking care of ourselves so we can be present when it matters most.

The holiday season can be overwhelming, often leading to stress and emotional burnout. To navigate this, maintaining a routine is essential for staying grounded, even amidst the chaos. Incorporating simple movement like walks or yoga, along with mindful food choices, can help regulate both your body and emotions. Setting clear boundaries around food, drink, and social situations can prevent overindulgence and help maintain emotional balance. Lastly, creating space for moments of calm, such as taking brief breaks for reflection or solitude, can help you reset and reconnect with your intentions during the hustle of the holidays.

For those who socially "mask," the holiday season can feel particularly overwhelming, even when outwardly appearing to enjoy themselves. Setting clear boundaries with the help of a trusted ally and scripting responses to avoid overcommitment can ease the pressure of social events. Prioritizing self-care, maintaining limits, and practicing compassion for yourself during emotional moments are vital to staying grounded. True connection comes from authenticity, and showing up as your real self fosters more meaningful relationships. As the year ends, reflecting on personal growth and lessons learned can help you enter the new year with renewed clarity and well-being.

This week, we’re taking a short break for two weeks and will return in mid-January. We are incredibly grateful for your support and are excited to return in 2025, ready to continue our journey of growth and connection. Take a moment for yourself, set boundaries with love, and let this episode inspire you to approach the holi

Magnesium is one of the most critical micronutrients required for our bodies to function: it’s used in over 300 biochemical reactions, from muscle and nerve function, to regulation of blood pressure and glucose. Whilst magnesium can be obtained through dietary intake, most people would benefit from supporting their natural levels with supplementation, with a significant proportion of the population being deficient. But not every supplement is created equal!

Have you ever walked down the vitamins aisle in the supermarket, and been totally overwhelmed by the amount of choice you had? We get it - it can be so confusing to know which ones are going to have the most benefit for you! There are over 11 different types of magnesium supplements alone. But there’s one that is currently standing out from the rest as a revolutionary new version: magnesium threonate. So in this week’s episode of the podcast, we’ll be sharing everything you need to know about this groundbreaking magnesium supplement, and how it could be the right fit for you. As there are so many biochemical processes in the body that require magnesium to function, it in turn means that the benefits of supplementing are widespread throughout the entire body too! We’ll be taking you through some of the incredibly powerful effects of magnesium supplements, from preventing cognitive diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, to dramatically reducing brain acidity and cortisol levels, and even the calming influence that can regulate ADHD and promote deeper, high-quality sleep. This revolutionary version sets an exciting precedent in the world of supplements and how the research is constantly developing - we’re only just beginning to scratch the surface of what this supplement can do!

We take a look at the groundbreaking research behind magnesium threonate:
🧠 What sets magnesium threonate apart from other magnesium supplements
🧠 The cognitive and neuroprotective effects of magnesium threonate (from diseases to degeneration)
🧠 Managing chronic stress and sleep issues: how you can drastically improve your body’s regulation!
🧠 The new research suggesting that magnesium threonate can aid in stabilising hyperactivity in the brain

Without having to think about it, you are automatically breathing in and out every single second of your life. Unlike other fundamental necessities, such as eating and drinking, breathing is something that is unconsciously performed by the body constantly, without a need for conscious action. But unlike other unconscious functions (like our heartbeat), we do have the power to influence our breathing.

There’s a reason that they say something is ‘as natural as breathing’. Without even realising it (or even spending much effort on it!), we breathe in and out up to almost 30,000 times a day! But because it comes so naturally to us, we can sometimes underestimate and even dismiss the power of this incredible tool at our disposal. So in this week’s episode of the podcast, we’re making the unconscious conscious, and harnessing the full spectrum of our breathing ability. Because breathing is so critical for our survival, it’s linked with hundreds of other physiological functions in our bodies (including some you might never have even considered!). We’re breaking down the difference that conscious breathing has on your body, and how you can use it to control a multitude of systems, from heart rate, to cortisol levels, and even mental focus. Emotional health relies just as heavily on our breathing too - if you think about your breathing when you’re stressed vs when you’re happy, there’s a radical difference between the two! With breathwork, we can reverse engineer this connection and biohack our neurological functions to process complex and deep-rooted emotions, and even transcend to completely different levels of consciousness that would otherwise be inaccessible to us! You’ll never think about breathing in the same way, and we’ll help you unlock the full potential of this tool that each and every single one of us holds inside.

Unlock the power of one of your fundamental functions:
🌬 What is breathwork, and how does it differ from your normal breathing?
🌬 Biohacking your breath: the physiological effect that breathing has on your body
🌬 Understanding the different types of breathwork techniques available
🌬 The neurological impact of breathwork (how you can elevate your consciousness!)

Chiropractors' immediate aim is to focus on the joints and correct alignment through adjustments, but there’s a broader effect taking place that, when you think about it, is almost like magic! We don’t go into an appointment thinking that an adjustment in the spine will create a better night’s sleep, and we don’t aim to ease anxiety by treating a chronic joint issue. But every single part of our body is linked with the rest - and whilst the connection isn’t always obvious, the power of the relationship is!

The research is finally catching up to what chiropractors have always known and practised passionately every day of their careers in the best interest of their patients. In this week’s episode, we’ll be sharing the magic of manual adjustments and how we're only just beginning to scratch the surface of how radically life-changing chiropractic treatment can be on all aspects of your well-being (not just your joints!). We’ll give you some insights into the new groundbreaking research that’s quantifying the dramatic improvements to a patient’s quality of life and how we’ve been seeing this reflected in our practice for so many years. Manual adjustments on the joints have far-ranging effects on the body as every single cell in your body communicates with the others, and how we can harness the power of that nervous system signalling to increase the success of patient outcomes. Even after seeing the life-changing results time and time again, we are still blown away every day by the magic of manual adjustments - and we’re here to share a little bit of that magic with you too.

We’re giving you a deeper understanding of the intricate links of the body:
🦴 Taking a look at chiropractic, from manual adjustments and beyond
🦴 Acknowledging that the research is only just catching up to the powerful effects of chiropractic
🦴 How neuroplasticity has wide-ranging effects on your wellbeing, including everything from mental health to sleep
🦴 The salience network: your grounding rod in the grass to process every bit of information channelled in your body

Chiropractic is often associated with the powerful cracking noise made during an adjustment. But it’s not the crack that is the therapy - it’s the careful manipulation of the joint, the fluid in the joint, and the delicate balance of the nervous system structures coursing through it. It’s a whole-body approach to finding harmony between all parts!

Whilst it’s the most commonly known part (and most satisfying!) of your chiropractic appointment, chiropractic is so much more than just the crack - it’s a science, it’s an art, and it’s a philosophy that both of us have dedicated our lives to. We’re taking you through your own Chiropractic 101 this week, to give you a better understanding of this dynamic modality, what we do, AND why we do it. We’ll explore the complexities of brain signalling pathways, and how mind-body connections are formed. As primary healthcare practitioners, we have the ultimate responsibility for each patient that comes into our clinic. It’s our job to get to the bottom of their pain and injury and decipher the signs and symptoms that indicate that delicate balance of the nervous system and musculoskeletal systems. When this balance is compromised, it also severely compromises a patient’s daily well-being, and it takes far more energy for a body to function when it’s spending precious time compensating for it. We’ll be looking at the physical techniques that we use to diagnose the body, and how we use adjustments in the joints to correct misalignment in the body. We’re often stuck in the ‘mind’ part of our mind-body balance, but we can’t neglect the ‘body’ if we want to be truly, holistically healthy - and this is where chiropractic shines.

We’re exploring the power of chiropractic:
🦴 Chiropractic as a science, art, and philosophy, and how we utilise it as detectives of the human body
🦴 The relationship between the nervous system, the spine, and the joints, and the critical importance of creating a perfect connection between them
🦴 Correcting misalignments in the body via physical adjustments to promote health, energy, and vitality
🦴 Our ‘why’s’: the story of how we both found chiropractics and why it has become our passion in life

Medicine sees innovations happening every single day. As our understanding of the body grows, so do the opportunities to develop groundbreaking techniques to heal chronic issues that drastically affect the quality of patient's lives. And when we approach it with a holistic focus? Well, the possibilities are endless!

We often consider emotions as being intangible - thoughts and feelings that we can’t quite touch and see. But emotions do have a physical aspect! These emotional information molecules flow through the system and interact with other areas of the body, like our muscles, bones, and joints. When the emotions are based in negativity, such as those from trauma, it can build and build causing long-term adverse reactions - especially when not addressed. On this week’s episode, we’ll be sharing the groundbreaking technique developed by chiropractors that is helping patients address the physical aspect of emotional distress! Unlike emotion-focused techniques such as talk therapy, Neuro Emotional Technique (or NET) is a physiological-based therapy that works to address manifestations of traumas and stress in the physical body. We’re breaking down everything you need to know about the technique, from understanding how emotions can cause chronic pain and injury, to the specific acupressure points and manipulations we can use to resolve this stored negative energy. We’ll also share some of the incredible results from patients’ treatments, and some of our own life-changing personal experiences with NET too. NET has been developed to increase our consciousness and awareness of the relationship between emotional and physical health. When we understand that link, we can unlock profound, long-lasting results that restore balance to our lives and bodies!

Your complete guide to this transformative technique:
🪁 What exactly is the Neuro Emotional Technique anyway?
🪁 The practical application of NET - what you can expect in a session!
🪁 Emotions as a physical source of stored stress: how this manifests as symptoms in the body
🪁 The incredible effect the Neuro Emotional Technique can have on patients

If you want to find out more about NET, we’d love to help you take that first step to healing - either take our free online quiz or start your research at one of these fantastic sources:

Gender-affirming surgery has a powerful effect on those needing it, especially in terms of mental health. When a person feels like their body truly represents them as a person, depression and anxiety rates are drastically reduced and even can reduce the need for medications such as antidepressants. It is a key necessity in a healthcare approach to transgender patients.

After years of treatment, including three long, difficult surgeries (and the even more gruelling recovery), Jaxson’s medical transition has officially finished! So we’re taking a trip down memory lane in this week’s episode, as we each share our own memories of the process and what it meant to both of us. We’ll be answering some of the biggest questions around his transition process, including the medical procedures (including what a phalloplasty actually is). As a potentially life-changing opportunity, it’s not always readily accessible - we’ll discuss some of the barriers to access, such as the non-inclusion in health insurance or Medicare. But it’s not necessarily just being financially able to go through with such intense treatment that’s the most important preparation required! The body goes through a significant amount of stress physically, biochemically, and emotionally, and this requires an athlete-like level of preparation to maximise healing and minimise the mental impact where possible. We’ll break down the incredible way Jaxson used holistic health to prepare his whole self for the surgery, and the overwhelmingly beneficial effect it has on his health outcomes. This is a raw, emotional, and genuine conversation about a pivotal moment in our journey together, and we encourage you to join us on the rollercoaster of emotions!

We’re helping you understand Jaxson’s journey:
🦋 Jaxson and Hilary both share their personal memories of his transition
🦋 Explaining the medical procedures and surgeries Jaxson went through
🦋 Breaking down Jaxson’s intense biochemical and physical preparation to get his body ready for a gruelling process!
🦋 The power of community: the deep emotional work Jaxson did with the support of those around him

Our modern environments predispose us to chronic stress. Busy jobs, pressures of social media, demands of being a full-time carer, and other consistent, prolonged exposures to stressful situations can send your cortisol production into overdrive. To reduce stress, we can’t escape our lives - but we can manage them!

Whilst it seems like a simple answer to get rid of the stress-causing factors in our lives, the truth is that it’s not possible to totally remove it all (unless maybe you run away to a cabin in the woods). So, we just need to learn to manage them all a little better and do what we can to minimise the impact on our bodies. On this week’s episode of the podcast, we’re all about the stress-busting strategies that you can incorporate into your daily routine - today! Just as chronic stress forms over a long period of time when we’re under constant pressure, lowering your cortisol takes the same approach. By committing to some of these activities (that only take a few minutes) every day for as little as 6 weeks, you can reduce your cortisol by up to 30%. We cover a wide range of options for you, from free mindfulness techniques to some simple supplements that will not only help you regain control of your stress but also have a multitude of other benefits for your health. You don’t have to commit to all of them, but by trying a few different methods you can tailor a cortisol-lowering plan that works best for you as an individual. There’s no need to stress about being stressed when there are scientifically proven strategies right here. We’re making small meaningful changes that make a big difference in our stress.

Lower your cortisol at home starting TODAY:
🚶‍♂️Consistency is key when reducing your cortisol, so we’re helping build your ideal routine
