In Your Skin

In this episode of In Your Skin, we sit down on the Gold Coast with female longevity and biohacking leader Kayla Barnes for a refreshingly practical tour of what actually moves the needle for women’s health. Kayla explains why she and her husband share labs (yes, even on the first date), how she helped him restore testosterone naturally after coming off TRT, and why she spends big on data so other women don’t have to. We dive into ovarian longevity, biological vs chronological age, the astonishing evidence for sauna, how to structure training for VO₂ max and muscle, and why sleep is the single biggest lever. From mindset and purpose to low-tox beauty swaps, nutrition basics, cold exposure timing, and the reality of doing all this while travelling, Kayla lays out a roadmap that’s evidence-led, female-specific and doable. If you want more energy, clearer skin, better biomarkers and a longer healthspan, this chat will help you start - without the overwhelm. This episode is proudly sponsored by: Olay.

In this episode of In Your Skin, we sit down with performance coach and creator Lewis Huckstep to unpack conscious relationships, triggers, and why your values and vision matter more than ever. Lewis shares his neurodivergent backstory (ADHD and Asperger’s), childhood dysregulation, and how early trauma shaped his patterns in intimacy, before becoming the very toolkit he now uses to help others heal. We also open with a vulnerable share from Christie about consciously uncoupling and navigating a relationship that’s evolved into friendship and co-parenting. Lewis breaks down the five bodies of healing (mental, emotional, physical/somatic, spiritual, energetic), the difference between beliefs and perceptions, and how to spot your “core wound” so you stop repeating the same dynamics. From setting non-negotiables and doing quarterly relationship resets, to the line between triggers and boundaries, this chat is a practical roadmap for anyone feeling stuck, whether you’re staying, leaving, or dating again. If you’ve ever felt lost in love or purpose, this conversation will help you get clear on who you are, what you value, and how to build relationships that actually fit the life you’re creating.

In this episode of In Your Skin, we sit down with Peter Crone often called “the Mind Architect” to explore how our deepest insecurities and stories quietly shape everything: confidence, ageing, relationships, parenting, and even our sense of purpose. Peter unpacks the “primal prisons” formed in childhood, why imposter syndrome is a survival pattern (not your personality), and how chasing youth ironically speeds up ageing. Instead of piling on more hacks and “solutions,” he shows us a path of dissolution removing the subconscious lies so freedom, self-love and vitality can emerge on their own. You’ll hear practical ways to work with triggers, invite a reluctant partner into the work, and model healthy self-worth for your kids Aussie frankness, heart, and plenty of aha moments included. If you’ve ever felt “not enough,” judged your reflection, or wondered why the same patterns keep looping, this conversation will help you soften, let go, and feel at home in your own skin.

In this episode of In Your Skin, neuroscientist and author Dr Sarah McKay unpacks the truth about “baby brain” and why your lived experience is real, even if lab tests don’t show cognitive decline. She explains the profound (and surprisingly positive) brain changes of first pregnancy, how attention, sleep, stress and the mental load shape our memory, and why dads can feel “baby brain” too. We also dive into girls vs boys in the classroom, the contraceptive pill and the brain, and what’s really going on with perimenopausal brain fog (hint: thermoregulation and sleep architecture). Practical, compassionate and myth-busting, this chat gives women evidence-based ways to protect brain health across motherhood, midlife and beyond. If you’ve blamed your brain, this conversation will help you zoom out, lower the pressure, and back yourself with science. This episode is proudly sponsored by: Olay.

In this episode of In Your Skin, we sit down with Dr Roger Seheult—pulmonologist, critical care and sleep physician, and co-founder of MedCram—to unpack the science-backed benefits of sunlight, infrared light, and circadian rhythm on our immunity, mood, skin, and long-term health. He shares an extraordinary hospital case of a teenage patient with a life-threatening fungal lung infection who turned a corner after daily time in the sun, and explains why light is more than “just vitamin D”. We explore how infrared light powers up your mitochondria, why getting outside (even in the shade, clothed, and sunscreened) still matters, and how simple habits like morning light exposure, strategic heat and cold, and the eight pillars of health (NEWSTART) can shift everything from sleep quality to metabolic health—and even longevity. If you’ve ever wondered how to balance Aussie sun safety with getting enough light for your brain, skin, and immune system, this one’s for you. This episode is proudly sponsored by: Olay.

In this episode of In Your Skin, we sit down with Dr Libby, nutritional biochemist and author of 14 bestselling books to unpack "Fix Iron First" & “Rushing Women’s Syndrome”, the very real (but non-medical) cluster of symptoms driven by chronic stress hormones. She explains how persistent adrenaline tells the body it’s “not safe”, disrupting periods, thyroid, gut, sleep, skin and accelerating ageing, and why mindset work is often the lever that finally shifts everything. We also dive deep into iron: why deficiency is so common for menstruating women, how to read iron studies (ferritin, transferrin and more), what can block absorption, and the emerging case for gentle ferritin-based supplements. Dr Libby reveals the surprising role of iron in hormones, perimenopause, and even collagen production, why it matters for glowing skin and graceful ageing. If you’re feeling wired, tired and not quite yourself, this conversation will help you trust your body’s messages and take clear, doable steps to feel good in your skin.

In this episode of In Your Skin, we sit down with Zoe Marshall—media personality, author, podcast host, and manifestation mentor—to unpack the truth about co-creation, healing, and living with purpose. Zoe shares her raw story of surviving domestic violence, grief, and trauma, and how those experiences became the foundation of her work. She opens up about what manifestation really is (and isn’t), why self-worth is the number one block to attracting love, money, and opportunity, and the importance of doing the uncomfortable inner work. From healing old wounds to creating radical self-trust, Zoe explains how co-creation isn’t about wishful thinking but about aligned action, self-belief, and being open to the unknown. If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at “manifestation” or felt stuck in patterns of fear, scarcity, or unworthiness, Zoe’s story will inspire you to see possibility in a whole new way.
