The Wellness Collective with Nat Kringoudis

She walked out of the doctor’s office with a menopause script in her hand and the words “you need a hysterectomy” echoing in her ears. Jess wasn’t prepared for that moment, but it became the line in the sand. After years of surgeries, diagnoses, and pain dismissed as “in her head,” that day marked the beginning of her true healing.I’m sitting down with my beautiful friend and M BODY co-founder, Jessica Blizzard, to trace the steps from that moment to now. This conversation is full of truth-telling, laughter, and Jess’s unwavering refusal to disconnect from her body ever again. From enduring endometriosis and adenomyosis to creating food-ceuticals that help other women reclaim their health, Jess’s story is one of fierce self-trust and hard-won wisdom.If you’ve ever felt dismissed, gaslit, or told to just live with the pain, this episode is for you.Key TakeawaysListening to Your Body – The turning point came when Jess chose her intuition over the medical script in her hand.Endometriosis is Misunderstood – Jess went undiagnosed for over a decade, despite relentless symptoms and repeated dismissal.Pain Is Not Normal – Living on Endone and missing out on life is not a sustainable plan.

What if the products sitting in your beauty cupboard were quietly impacting your hormones, gut health, and fertility? Kasey Giarratana, co-founder of Xali Organics, joins me to unpack the real-life impact of beauty products on our health. After battling PCOS and endometriosis from a young age, Kasey discovered just how many of the ingredients we use daily are contributing to our symptoms. She shares what happened when her naturopath told her to check the ingredients in her skincare, why fragrance is now a firm no for her, and how she's building a brand that actually supports women through every life stage, from puberty through to perimenopause. We talk about the pressure teens face, the power of peptides, and how to navigate clean beauty without going into overwhelm. This is the kind of conversation I wish every woman could hear.Key TakeawaysToxic Load Is Real – The cumulative impact of our beauty products can affect our hormones, gut health, and overall wellbeing.Fragrance Isn’t Just a Smell – “Fragrance” can be a catch-all for hormone-disrupting chemicals that sneak into our products.Education Creates Empowerment – Helping women understand what’s in their products gives them back control of their health.80/20 for the Win – You don’t have to be perfect. Choosing better products most of the time still makes a meaningful difference.Peptides Are Powerhouses – Peptides in skincare aren’t just trendy; they’re biologically compatible and effective for things like hair and lash growth.Trust Matters Most – In a noisy, often critical beauty industry, transparency and integrity build loyalty that lasts.Where to Find Our GuestXali Organic’s Website: http://www.xaliorganics.comXali Organics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/xaliorganics/Links & Resources📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis🌿 Join NK x The Membership – Your Wellness Sanctuary!Created by me to help women reclaim their body wisdom with expert support, exclusive resources, and a like-minded community.✨ What’s Inside?✔ Early access to new Masterclasses & Challenges✔ Unlimited access to 20+ Masterclasses & 25+ free ebooks✔ VIP perks—events, expert Q&As & private community✔ 20% off practitioner-grade supplements✔ Direct access to Nat via live Q&As & Facebook chat💖 Join today & take charge of your health!👉 Sign Up Now: https://natkringoudis.thrivecart.com/the-membership-x-nat-kringoudis/🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment!

All the water you consume each day might be one of the biggest sources of toxins your body takes in. But once you understand how water has changed from its natural form and what that means for your health, it starts to make a whole lot of sense.Josh Hiam from Hydrogen Health comes from a background in biomedical and electronic engineering, and he has a real passion for understanding how the natural world designs wellness into our biology. We unpack the science behind structured water, molecular hydrogen, and why your body might be dehydrated even when you’re drinking loads of water. One thing I loved in this conversation is how clear it became that your body knows what to do. Structured, mineral-rich, hydrogen-infused water can be a massive part of that. It's about returning water to the state nature intended and making it accessible in your daily life.Key TakeawaysWater Can Be Depleting – Tap water and even filtered or alkaline water may require your body to work harder to process it, leaving you more stressed and less hydrated.Hydrogen Heals from Within – Molecular hydrogen targets oxidative stress at the cellular level and converts damaging free radicals into water.Hydration Calms The Nervous System – Hydrogen-rich water helps regulate the vagus nerve, reduce inflammation and shift you into parasympathetic rest and repair.Kids Know What Feels Good – Josh and I talk about how my son, who has cystic fibrosis, kept reaching for the hydrogen bottle long before I ever told him why it might help.Your Shower Water Matters – If you’re showering in chlorinated, chemically treated water, you’re likely absorbing and inhaling things that disrupt your hormones and skin health.Small Shifts Can Be Profound – Structured, energized, mineral-infused water mimics natural spring water and supports mitochondrial function, collagen production and long-term energy.Where to Find Our GuestJosh Hiam’s Website: https://www.hydrogenhealth.net.auHydrogen Health on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hydrogenhealthofficial Links & Resources📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis🌿 Join NK x The Membership – Your Wellness Sanctuary!Created by me to help women reclaim their body wisdom with expert support, exclusive resources, and a like-minded community.✨ What’s Inside?✔ Early access to new Masterclasses & Challenges✔ Unlimited access to 20+ Masterclasses & 25+ free ebooks✔ VIP perks—events, expert Q&As & private community✔ 20% off practitioner-grade supplements✔ Direct access to Nat via live Q&As & Facebook chat💖 Join today & take charge of your health!👉 Sign Up Now: https://natkringoudis.thrivecart.com/the-membership-x-nat-kringoudis/🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment!

Girls are skipping meals, hiding full lunchboxes, and burning out before they’ve even had the chance to build strong bones. That’s where this conversation had to start.Dr. Stacy Sims has been calling out the massive gap in research on women’s health for years. Her phrase “Women Are Not Small Men” isn’t a tagline. It’s a wake-up call backed by science, and it applies at every stage of life. From how our daughters are shaped by early food restriction, to how many of us are still training in ways that don’t match our physiology, Stacy breaks it down.We covered bone health, birth control, fasted workouts, and why circadian rhythm quietly drives so much of our health. We also spoke about parenting teens, building strong habits at home, and how your menstrual cycle is often the first clue something’s off. If you’ve been ticking the boxes but still feel flat, this conversation brings it back to what your body’s really asking for.Key TakeawaysTeen Nutrition Matters - Puberty is a critical window for building bone mass, and under-fueling can stunt lifelong health.Skip the Fasted Workouts - Training without fuel disrupts circadian rhythm and increases muscle breakdown, especially in women.Exercise is Stress - Recovery needs to match the load, especially in your 30s and 40s, when stress resilience starts to shift.Cycle-Aware Training - Tracking your cycle helps you train smarter, recover better, and ditch the guilt on low-energy days.Birth Control and Performance - Oral contraceptives can mute high-end performance and mask red flags like low energy availability.Reframe High Performance - Whether you’re a mum, a professional, or an athlete, you're living in a high-performance body. Support it accordingly.Where to Find Our GuestDr. Stacy Sims’ Website: https://www.drstacysims.comDr. Stacy Sims on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstacysimsDr. Stacy Sims on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drstacysimsDr. Stacy Sims on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drstacysimsLinks & Resources📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis🌿 Join NK x The Membership – Your Wellness Sanctuary!Created by me to help women reclaim their body wisdom with expert support, exclusive resources, and a like-minded community.✨ What’s Inside?✔ Early access to new Masterclasses & Challenges✔ Unlimited access to 20+ Masterclasses & 25+ free ebooks✔ VIP perks—events, expert Q&As & private community✔ 20% off practitioner-grade supplements✔ Direct access to Nat via live Q&As & Facebook chat💖 Join today & take charge of your health!👉 Sign Up Now: https://natkringoudis.thrivecart.com/the-membership-x-nat-kringoudis/🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment!
