  • SSRI Antidepressants: Hidden Benefits, Gut Health and Natural Alternatives
    Jul 14 2025

    In this insightful and reassuring episode, Suzy Bolt is joined by pharmacist Kevin Leivers to delve into the sometimes controversial topic of SSRIs, commonly known as antidepressants. Together, they break down what SSRIs actually do in the body, moving beyond the notion that they’re simply “happy pills” or prescribed only for anxiety.

    Suzy shares her own experience of recovery, highlighting how SSRIs supported her not just emotionally but also physically, even helping with sleep and immune resilience. Kevin offers his expert perspective on how these medications work to increase serotonin, why there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, and what it really means to create a “window of light” for people struggling with depression.

    They don’t shy away from talking about the risks and the stigma, but also explore the powerful role of nutrition, gut health, and natural supplements such as saffron. You’ll hear practical, science-backed alternatives and complements to SSRIs, from vitamin B12 and protein to tackling inflammation and considering probiotics after antibiotics.

    If you’ve ever wondered about the benefits and limitations of antidepressants or felt uncertain when they’ve been recommended to you, this honest conversation will give you tools, insight, and permission to ask more questions and take control of your own wellbeing journey.

  • Can Jackie Baxter's Long Covid Story Help YOU Recover?
    Jul 7 2025

    In this heartfelt and uplifting episode, I had the absolute pleasure of turning the tables and interviewing Jackie Baxter, the wonderful host of the Long Covid Podcast. Usually the one behind the questions, Jackie bravely shares her own Long Covid journey, right from the very beginning, through her darkest days, and all the way to finding recovery and a new sense of self.

    Jackie opens up about what life was like before she became ill, juggling a busy and active lifestyle, stressful work, and the early days of the pandemic when guidance and understanding were limited. She describes the bewildering onset of symptoms, the push-pull cycle of trying to push through, and the rollercoaster of hope, frustration, and uncertainty that so many people with Long Covid will recognise.

    We talk about the key turning points in her recovery: discovering the power of breathwork, the importance of rest, and learning to tune into her own body and mind. Jackie shares how gentle practices like yoga nidra and cold water swimming became lifelines, and how setting up the Long Covid Podcast was not just a way to help others, but also a crucial part of her own healing.

    We also dive into the realities of recovery: Tackling persistent fears like reinfection, navigating relationship tensions, and learning to embrace the “new normal” of Jackie 2.0. There are practical tips, honest reflections, and a wonderful sense of resilience and hope running through our conversation.

    If you’re in need of inspiration to keep going, want a reminder that you’re not alone, or are just curious about how to find your way through the ups and downs of Long Covid, this episode is for you.

    Thank you so much to Jackie for sharing so openly. As ever, don’t give up hope. Recovery is possible, and you might just find silver linings and new strengths along the way.

    Listen now for an honest and wise conversation on recovery, resilience, and embracing life after Long Covid.

  • Vaccine Injury to Vitality: Tara’s Incredible Recovery from Rock Bottom!
    Jun 30 2025

    In this heartfelt and uplifting episode, I sat down with Tara Brendell to explore the ups and downs of her remarkable year of recovery following a post-vaccine injury.

    Tara, a contemporary dancer and choreographer, shared how her life and career were suddenly turned upside down after experiencing a severe reaction to her third Covid vaccine. We talked about what it felt like when everything changed overnight — the panic, confusion, and constant search for answers in a healthcare system that didn’t have solutions.

    Tara opened up about her time spent sleeping in a tent in the garden, her longing to be by the sea, and the simple, powerful things that kept her hopeful even on the hardest days. We discussed the crucial moments that helped her move forward: recognising the need for self-compassion, rediscovering joy through gentle movement, and connecting with a community who truly understood.

    Tara’s journey—through fear, frustration, and ultimately to new strength—will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt stuck or alone in their own health challenges. Her story is a moving reminder that even in our lowest moments, small acts of kindness towards ourselves can ignite real change.

    If you’re craving practical hope, honest conversation, and a celebration of what it means to heal, this episode is for you.
