    Is Mould Causing Your Health Problems? - Cliff Wilde

    This episode, the first of a new series of The Optimal Health Podcast I talk with Cliff Wilde, a long time mentor and friend.  We go through his personal experience with neurological seizures brought on by mould exposure and what to look out for, why a lot of people suffer without realising.  We also go into depth about dopamine, ice baths and Wim Hof breathing - is it helping or hindering you? And a lot more about health along the way. Cliff is one of the experts I go to if I need to bounce any ideas off with clients who I am a little stuck on, we have worked together with clients and also referred clients both ways, this is a not to miss episode. You can contact Cliff on Instagram @cliffandmarta I hope you enjoy the show Remember - you can book in for your free health call now at www.ojayhealth.com/letstalk

What are your thoughts on HRT? What are some common signs of hormonal imbalance that women should be aware of? Can you explain the connection between hormonal balance and weight management in women? What's the most common hormone issue you see with women and what dietary approaches can help mitigate it? Are there any particular foods or dietary patterns that can exacerbate hormone imbalance in women? Can you explain the role of gut health in hormonal balance? How does stress impact hormone function, and what strategies can women use to manage stress effectively? How can women optimise their hormonal health through exercise and physical activity? What role does sleep play in hormone regulation, particularly during menopausal years? What role do environmental toxins play in hormone disruption, and how can women minimise their exposure? Can you discuss the importance of regular functional testing for women in their late 30s, 40s, and 50s? @olliematthewshealth

    We speak to a really special guest - Stuart Webber, former Sporting Director at Norwich City Football Club and a guy who is preparing to climb the world's tallest mountain - Everest. If you've read my book, you will know how much I have thought about Everest and how the same theory people use to climb Everest allows us to improve our health too. Stuart talks deep on his preparation for the climb and how his family are preparing for it too. He goes into the physical challenges and the mental aspect of each peak that he conquers. I really am grateful for you watching, listening and following along.
