The Melissa Ambrosini Show

Dr Jennifer Barham-Floreani is an award-winning health practitioner and best selling author. Her book, ‘Well Adjusted Children’ has been one of my go-to books during pregnancy, so I was thrilled to be able to sit down with her for this conversation to pick her brains and dive even deeper. Tune in to hear her natural, no-nonsense strategies on how to get as healthy as possible before and during pregnancy, how to set your baby up for a lifetime of wellness, and how to raise healthy, capable and well-adjusted children.Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/395 for the show notes.My newsletter: melissaambrosini.com/newsletterMy instagram: @melissaambrosini Hosted on Acast.

What if there was a way to improve your sleep, eliminate inflammation, fight the oxidative damage that drives aging, and boost your resilience to stress at a cellular level, and all it took was a few minutes a day, with minimum effort and zero side effects? It sounds almost too good to be true. But that’s the power of red light therapy — and it’s all backed by science. Today’s guest, Wes Pfiffiner, is a complete nerd when it comes to all things health and fitness related, and he’s the perfect person to explain what the deal is with red light, why it’s been called a ‘miracle drug’ for optimal health, and how we can all be taking advantage of this powerful therapy to improve everything from inflammation to immunity to insomnia.Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/391 for the show notes.My newsletter: melissaambrosini.com/newsletterMy instagram: @melissaambrosiniThis episode is brought to you by DesignCrowd.

It’s not every day that you get to sit down with one of your personal heroes. But that’s exactly what I did in this episode. Tim Ballard is the founder and CEO of Operation Underground Railroad — a world renowned organisation focused on rescuing victims of the global sex trafficking trade, as well as capturing the traffickers themselves. I’ve followed Tim’s journey (and been inspired by him) for years, so I was incredibly honoured to sit down with him and bring you this massively important conversation. In this chat, Tim shares the shocking facts of the global sex trade, how his organisation is helping to end trafficking for good (and how we can ALL contribute to this movement), and the CRUCIAL ways we must educate our own children to protect them from sexual predators — both online and off. Though these are topics that can be dark and difficult at times, Tim’s compassion, determination and leadership will light a fire in your heart. So will his ultimate message: that child sex trafficking will not be stopped by governents, but by everyday people taking a stand... In other words, it’s up to US.Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/389 for the show notes.My newsletter: melissaambrosini.com/newsletterMy instagram: @melissaambrosiniThis episode is brought to you by DesignCrowd.
