We're glad the "trend" of saying "oooh, I'm gluten free" is over... and so are those with Coeliac disease. Teal was diagnosed with Coeliac disease when she was super young and we found out just how much more there is to eat than just feeling sick for 24 hours. She describes the physical symptoms that pretty much kick in straight away and the long term effects (mind blowing stuff!!). This is a great listen for anyone out there with food intolerances too, as Teal describes travel / events and the anxiety vs FOMO thought around these. We came to the conclusion that education is key with this kinda condition and it really isn't hard to be accomodating if you have the awareness.

CrossFit is for anybody.... hang on, say it louder for the people up the back... CrossFit is for ANYBODY! Yelana approached us one day and asked, if CrossFit basically changed your perception on life, why hasn't it been discussed more on your poddy?? We never really realised, but when she said this we were quite surprised ourselves that it hadn't come up more! However it has become something in our routine, something we just get up and go-to and not think too hard about, just like brushing your teeth. But we are here to give it the credit that it deserves and we knew there was no better way to introduce it on this poddy than by Yelana herself. This incred lady is the boss babe who runs CrossFit Dauntless, the beloved gym we go to. We discuss the question of what CrossFit is (the question every CrossFitter hates!), lifelong fitness, how it is you vs you and no one else, putting the CrossFit mindset to other things in life and celebrating how much we are lifting rather than how much we're losing! Yelana also delves into prioritisation aka how to get shit done, longevity, goals and the power of tiny improvements. To see why we hype on about this place, head to the gyms website http://www.crossfitdauntless.com.au/ and sign-up to the free trial! You are never too young or old to start... see you at the box.

Howdy partners! On this ep of It's A Time we are throwing back to our aerobics days and we have Meags, our previous coach, on the poddy!! She is a role model to us, going through the toughest of times all while doing selfless gestures. She delves into her experience being a single mum (she's not a regular mum, she's a cool mum!), experiencing a separation with young kids and uni life. We love Meags and her outlook on life... she accepts everything in her stride and gets on with it! PS we think everyone should have Charlotte vibes... listen to find out.

There is a bit of confusion out there about Type 1 Diabetes soooo Kate (aka Giff) is on It's A Time to clear this up. Giff was diagnosed with this illness at the young age of nine. Now, for most kids, when you're nine your biggest inconvenience is probably is being invited to Oliver's birthday party but also being invited to Cindy's on the same day and having to choose between the two. However, for this brave gal it was monitoring BSLs, injecting insulin, regular appointments and trying to explain Type 1 Diabetes to the other kids. She goes into depth about what this illness is, Type 1 vs. Type 2, the battle of mental health and Diabetes and hypos/hypers. She expresses that no one is a Type 1 Diabetic, they are not the illness... They are in fact *insert person's name* who has Type 1 Diabetes. Although stating that somedays she just doesn't want to have Type 1 Diabetes, Giff shares a beautiful and inspiring message to not let this illness, or any illness stop you from doing anything or let people tell you that.

Ahhh yes, what legends. On this poddy ep we are delighted to be joined by Jez and Jess who ARE Golden Gums Farm. They are parents to three gorg boys who get around mostly in no pants and sometimes a snorkel (bless their souls). Anywayyy, this couple turned their hobby into their hustle. Jez in particular always loved growing his own veggies so when they moved to Bendigo they knew straight away that they wanted to create a business growing (with love) fresh produce and selling it. What they probably didn't know is that they would be supplying it to major restaurants in Bendigo with their fresh fruit and veg being highlighted. Highlighting why supporting local is soooo important, they do seasonal boxes too (you may get an added bonus with a slug included for free!!) which they sell to the public. You can visit their brand spanking new website https://www.goldengumsfarm.com.au/ to sign up for a weekly or fortnightly veggie box. They are also on the gram as @goldengumsfreshproduce Enjoy!

We've all heard of the saying "Balance is Key" and this is what our guest Cassidy on this ep of the poddy is talking all about. This determined little queen shares her journey about going from wildcat Cas to finding a more balanced state of herself. She explains how the balance of nutrition, fitness, socialising and mindfulness changed her outlook on life and we love how she emphasises that the mix of all of these is not a one size fits all kinda thing. Cas also has great things to say bout high school/university culture, negative influences, toxic positivity and not growing up too fast!! She is a PT in the making and has a platform where she shares recipes, workouts and feel good posts called The Balance. You can find it on the gram @the.balancee  Get it girl!!

If this isn't a timeeee, we don't know what is?!? Stitch Up Club is a drinking game that Belle created in iso times. She's on the poddy to chat about what inspired her to make it and how she did it all by herself (a part from help from her mates who tested it out with her aka the most fun part!!). While chatting to us about how to play, she explains what some of the cards mean and defines some of the terms used in the game for us amateurs. With Australia Day coming up, this is going to be perfect for a sesh with your crew. You can purchase it from https://stitchupclub.com/ . We know we'll be getting Stitched Up!!

We are STOKED to have had the chance to pick the brains of Dr Kat, a local GP from Bendigo and the coolest lady out. Kat lists some of the options of contraception for females, and describes other reasons why these medications may be used including period management, PMS and skincare. She also explains the process of managing an unplanned pregnancy - what to do, where to go, what options you have for termination, and the mental health impact of having or losing a baby. Dr Kat also reminds our listeners of the recommendations regarding STI testing and cervical screening. If you have “the equipment” to have a baby, or are intimate with someone who does, you should 100% listen to this ep and further educate yourself… nothing should be too awkward to talk about with your doctor or your friends, these are important conversations! You do you(terus) huns xx **always consult your own GP in regards to contraception/STIs/abortions, we are all different and Dr Kat can’t know your situation over a podcast.
