Katie Brindle looks into one of the most common yet misunderstood health issues of modern life... gut health! If you’re struggling with bloating, fatigue, cravings, constipation, diarrhoea, unexplained weight changes, or simply feeling “off,” Katie tells you why the root cause may go far beyond food. Katie's been a Chinese Medicine Practitioner for over 25 years, and she uses the wisdom of Chinese medicine, to share how stress, poor routines, overconsumption of wellness advice, and disconnection from natural rhythms could be silently damaging your digestion. Katie also breaks down why the spleen is considered one of the most important organs in Chinese medicine, how stress diverts blood away from your digestive system, and why simple habits like eating at regular times, chewing properly, walking after meals, and avoiding iced drinks, can make a huge difference.

What if the key to better health isn't another supplement, cold plunge or productivity hack, but just learning how to prioritise what really matters? In this episode of Own Your Health, Katie Brindle is joined by mindset coach and author Lily Silverton, creator of The Priorities Method and author of Prioritise This. Katie and Lily look at why so many of us feel overwhelmed, stressed and stretched thin by modern life, and how small daily choices shape our wellbeing far more than we realise. They talk about how we navigate caring responsibilities, work pressures and burnout to dealing with rejection, comparison and social media. Katie and Lily also discuss the rise of biohacking culture, why human connection remains one of the most powerful wellness tools available, and the simple habits that can really improve mental and physical health without costing a fortune.
