Today, she helps others do the same — blending cutting-edge genetic testing with the art of truly personalised, trauma-informed care. Together we explore the science behind DNA-powered health, the truth about being “stuck in survival mode,” and why no diet or supplement will work if your nervous system doesn’t feel safe. Sheridan also shares her signature C.A.R.E. Framework, created to help people rebuild their health from the inside out — with clarity, compassion, and heart.

• Our Crazy CHOLESTEROL Obsession with Dr Ross Walker

  “Your cholesterol is high.” It’s a phrase millions hear each year—often followed by a statin prescription and little else. But with statins now the most prescribed drugs on the planet, why is heart disease still the world’s #1 killer? And why are we not talking about the bigger picture? In this hard-hitting episode, we’re joined by Dr. Ross Walker, one of Australia’s leading voices in preventive cardiology, to challenge the mainstream narrative—and ask the questions that could save lives. We explore: The truth behind cholesterol—what it is, what it isn’t, and why one number shouldn't define your risk. Statins: miracle drug or misunderstood medicine? Who really benefits, and at what cost? The role of genetics—including the common but underdiagnosed condition, Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH). Visit the DNA Screen Project to learn more: https://dnascreen.monash.edu/ Why prevention struggles to compete with Big Pharma—and what needs to change. The 30-Day Heart Health Plan every listener should hear, with Dr. Walker’s actionable advice on food, movement, stress, and testing. This episode is not anti-medication—it’s pro-information. Because your heart health deserves more than a prescription. 🎧 Listen now to rethink what you’ve been told, and what you’ve accepted. Your life—or the life of someone you love—may depend on it.

• STRONGER or Weaker. You CHOOSE, says Dr Stacy Sims

  If the heaviest thing you’ve lifted lately is your iPhone, this one’s for you. Over the years, have you gotten stronger—or weaker? The truth is strength doesn’t disappear overnight; it slips away quietly. One day you’re opening jars, the next you're asking for help. It’s common, but it’s not inevitable. Today’s guest, Dr. Stacy Sims, is here to flip the script. She says strength is a CHOICE—and you make that choice every single day. Dr. Sims is an internationally recognised exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who specialises in women’s health, performance, and aging. Her message? Women are not small men—and we need to train, eat, and recover differently. 💥 In This Episode: Why strength matters more after 40 than ever before The real reason women lose muscle (hint: it’s not just age) Easy, at-home strength baseline tests The link between grip strength, VO₂ max, and how long you’ll live How to train smarter, not longer Creatine, Protein, and the must-do nutrition hacks Busting myths: no, strength training won’t make you “bulky” The Stacy Sims x The Aging Project 30-Day Strength Challenge to get you started.

• The Hidden Crisis: Menopausal Depression and Suicide with Professor Jayashri Kulkarni

  This episode is a raw, honest, and deeply compassionate conversation about the mental health crisis too many women face — and the silence that has surrounded it for far too long. We’re joined by Professor Jayashri Kulkarni, a pioneering psychiatrist and Director of HER Centre Australia, who has spent her career transforming how we understand and treat women’s mental health — especially through perimenopause and menopause. 🔹 Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of suicide. Please prioritise your wellbeing and skip this conversation if needed. Support is available via Lifeline and Beyond Blue. Why This Matters Women aged 45–49 have the highest suicide rate of any age group in Australia. For 20–30% of women, the emotional and cognitive effects of menopause aren’t just “hormonal mood swings” — they can become severe, debilitating, and life-threatening. We’re shining a light on the women who’ve been unseen, unheard, and misdiagnosed, and offering real support for those still navigating this in silence. What You’ll Learn What really happens to the brain during perimenopause and menopause — and how hormonal changes affect mood, memory, and emotional regulation. The truth about menopausal depression: why it’s still so misunderstood, and how to recognise the signs early. The women most at risk — including those with no history of mental illness — and what puts them in danger. Why standard treatments like SSRIs often fall short, and the growing role of natural therapies and personalised care. How genetics, lifestyle, trauma, and social stress amplify mental health risks in midlife. Key Tools & Resources 💡 The MENO-D Tool: A screening tool every woman should know about to assess menopausal mental health and advocate for better care. 🧠 Professor Kulkarni’s 30-Day Mental Health Reset: A practical guide to take back control of your mental wellbeing — through sleep, movement, nutrition, connection, and support. A Conversation for Every Woman This episode is dedicated to the women whose stories were never told — and to every listener who deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered to seek better care. Thank you, Professor Kulkarni, for your tireless advocacy and for giving voice to so many.

• When Life Changes Overnight: Brooke Campbell Bayes on living with Chronic Illness

  Today’s conversation might just shift the way you see the world — and the people in it. Because chronic illness isn’t rare. It’s everywhere. It’s the invisible battle so many people are fighting — quietly, bravely — while going about their everyday lives. And when it strikes, it doesn’t just touch the body. It reshapes everything: careers, relationships, dreams, even how you move through a single day. The truth is, most of us are already connected to chronic illness — either living with it ourselves, or loving someone who is. But we don’t often stop to talk about what that really feels like — or what it truly takes to keep showing up. Today, we’re opening that conversation with Brooke Campbell Bayes — whose life changed overnight, from healthy one day to a diagnosis she never saw coming..
