IV Infusions, Trend or Here to Stay? With Madeline Calfas of GMC Cosmedical and The Wellness Group

IV treatments that promise to do everything from boost energy to combat stress are making a big splash in 2020, topping the wellness trends lists for the year. What is intravenous therapy? According to Cambridge Health, IV or intravenous therapy refers to a therapy that delivers fluid into veins in the body. IV therapy works by using an injection with a syringe or via infusion, often referred to as a drip. IV therapy is the fastest way to deliver medications, blood products and more into the bloodstream to help with various health conditions, dehydration and blood transfusions. But why does IV Therapy top the trend of health and wellness? That is what our host Marni and Madeline Calfas of GMC Cosmedical will talk about in this episode. Madeline is an Integrative Medicine Practitioner and a highly experienced certified. Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner. With over 20 years of experience in her field, she is dedicated to furthering her knowledge and expertise in the field of Anti-ageing and Integrative Medicine.

Madeline understands that being an Integrative Practitioner means understanding that the human body is more than just a collection of systems, symptoms and illnesses.

A Story of Losing Sight and Gaining Vision with Jess Van Zeil

In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Jess Van Zeil,  an eye-patch wearing, 26-year-old business owner, best-selling author and resilience expert.
Jess had lost her eye at the age of 22 due to an extremely rare form of cancer- conjunctival ocular melanoma. Conjunctival malignant melanoma is a pigmented lesion of the ocular surface. It is an uncommon but potentially devastating tumour that may invade the local tissues of the eye, spread systemically through lymphatic drainage and hematogenous spread, and recur in spite of treatment. Despite its severity, the rarity of available cases has limited the evidence for diagnosis and management.
With her battle with cancer, Jess learned a lot about resilience and the art of bouncing back. She realised she didn’t want anyone to face life’s challenges unarmed. The art and science of building resilience have become her passion.
That is why Jess developed the PATCH system which will give the skills and tools to grow and thrive when someone is faced with change. She has shared her story and the PATCH methodology on stages across Australia including the NAC in 2018 alongside Tony Robbins, Turia Pitt, Michelle Bridges and Naomi Simson.
In 2019 Jess’ book “Eye Won” was published internationally.
Join us in a special interview with Jess about the cause, treatments and misconceptions about conjunctival ocular melanoma. And hear Jess's incredible journey of courage, mindset and resilience.

Pressure Injuries with Lisa Cox

A pressure injury is defined as “localised damage to the skin and/or underlying soft tissue usually over a bony prominence or related to medical or other devices. Pressure wounds are caused by pressure against the skin that limits blood flow to the skin. Limited movement can make skin vulnerable to damage and may lead to the development of pressure injury.
 
 In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Lisa Cox to debunk the myths and misconceptions about pressure injury.
 Lisa acquired multiple pressure injuries in her early twenties following a brain haemorrhage and over 1 year of hospitalisation the first time.  Her injuries have been significant but it was a pressure injury that appeared like a small pimple that led to significant discomfort. 
Today, Lisa speaks at staff education events and medical conferences about the long-term effects of pressure injuries and has helped produce prevention/care information for patients and their families.
 Listen with us in an in-depth talk about the cause, prevention and treatment of pressure injuries.

Rosacea Awareness Month with Dr Alice Rudd, Founder of Skindepth Dermatology

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that can cause sensitivity, excessive flushing, persistent redness, broken capillaries and breakouts. Often times this condition is mistaken for allergies or acne. If left untreated, the condition can worsen. Symptoms often are triggered by certain behaviours, which are typically unique to each individual, that is why it’s important to understand the common triggers so you can treat the condition properly. Rosacea mainly affects the central areas of the face, such as the cheeks and nose. The disease can affect both adult men and women, usually after the age of 30. April is Rosacea Awareness Month. And to spread public education on this skin condition, Marni will be speaking with Dr Alice Rudd, Founder of Skindepth Dermatology. Dr Rudd has worked for many years in all areas of dermatology with patients who suffer from sun damage, skin cancer, pigmentation, acne and acne scarring, eczema, hair loss, nail problems and photosensitive skin disorders.

She is passionate about helping those suffering from these debilitating disease with a combination of medical and natural therapies.

A Holistic Nutritional Approach to Psoriasis with Jessica Simonis of Psoriasis Eczema Clinic

Men and women develop psoriasis at equal rates. Although psoriasis comes and goes over time, it’s a lifelong condition. A lack of public understanding about psoriasis causes many people with this condition to feel isolated and ostracized.

In this podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Jessica Simonis of Psoriasis Eczema Clinic.
Jessica is a Clinical Nutritionist and Western Herbalist, specialising in the holistic treatment of chronic skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, acne and rosacea.

Getting Your Life Back: Breast Cancer Rehabilitation with Denise Stewart of Breast and Shoulder Rehab

More women than ever are surviving breast cancer. With advances in early detection and treatment, we see patients living long, full lives after breast cancer. These patients often are eager to get back to their normal activities, but side effects from treatment sometimes hold them back. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery are effective treatments for breast cancer, but nerve damage, swelling, and soreness can sometimes occur.   There’s this notion that recovering from cancer is just going to be bad. But it doesn’t have to be.   On this week's podcast episode Marni will be speaking with Denise Stewart, Director of Breast and Shoulder Rehab. Denise is an Occupational Therapist trained in Australia at University of Queensland. Her career started at a major public hospital, providing rehabilitation to people with very serious and chronic illness and injuries. With the introduction of workplace rehabilitation in the 80's, Denise moved into the private health sector and helped injured workers return to work. This experience created a passion for workplace injury prevention and the importance of good return to work programs. This same concern for a person's recovery and the importance of returning to work was applied to her work with women after breast cancer. For 25 years, Denise has been a leader in developing improved rehabilitation services for this special client group. Empowering people to take control of their health and well-being has been the driving force for her latest work in developing educational resources for clients. Knowledge is shared about common physical issues experienced by women after breast cancer. Listen with us, as Denise uncovers the truths and misconceptions about breast cancer rehabilitation.

Debunking Skincare Myths with Lab Muffin Beauty Science

The skin is the body's largest organ. When healthy, its layers work hard to protect us. But when it's compromised, the skin's ability to work as an effective barrier is impaired. We have then to improve skin health to support it and maintain its protective role.
There are TONS of products on the market that claim to be helpful to our skin's overall wellness. However, truth be told- not all do.
In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Dr Michelle Wong of Lab Muffin Beauty Science.
Michelle is a science educator with a PhD in chemistry, based in Sydney, Australia. She started Lab Muffin Beauty Science a bit over nine years ago, frustrated that the beauty blogosphere didn’t have enough easy-to-understand explanations of the science behind beauty products.
" I firmly believe that anyone can understand the science behind skincare and beauty, and if you can’t, it’s not your fault – it’s the fault of the person doing the talking (and sometimes, they’re trying to bamboozle you into believing them!). " - Michelle Wong
Listen as Michelle debunks the myths and uncovers the biggest misconceptions about skincare.
