Sally Fallon | The Biggest Nutrition Myth of the Last 50 Years?
The Ideal Day Podcast with Adam Parker
What if one of the healthiest foods on your plate, became one of the most feared because we got the science wrong? For decades, we've been told to avoid saturated fat. Butter was replaced with margarine. Lard was swapped for vegetable oils. Eggs were demonised. Red meat became the villain, and all in the name of protecting our hearts. But what if that advice has done more harm than good? Today’s guest, Sally Fallon Morell, is the founding president of the Weston A. Price Foundation and one of the world's leading advocates for traditional nutrition. For decades, she's...

Ben Azadi | Why Keto Works... Until It Doesn't
The Ideal Day Podcast with Adam Parker
Why do some people have steady energy, maintain a healthy weight, and go hours without thinking about food, while others are constantly battling cravings, brain fog, energy crashes, and stubborn weight gain? According to Ben Azadi, the answer has less to do with calories and more to do with metabolic health. In this episode, we explore why keto can be one of the most powerful tools for restoring metabolic function, but why staying in ketosis forever may actually limit your long-term progress.

Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride | Why the Gut Is the Root of Modern Disease
The Ideal Day Podcast with Adam Parker
Why are so many people struggling with gut issues, chronic inflammation, anxiety, fatigue, autoimmune problems, and neurological symptoms? According to Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, the answer starts in one place.. the gut. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, creator of the GAPS diet, to explore why gut dysfunction has become so widespread in the modern world, what most people misunderstand about microbes, and whether our obsession with killing bacteria has weakened the very system designed to protect us.

Leanne Hughes | Cancer & The Inner Work of Healing
The Ideal Day Podcast with Adam Parker
What do you do when life stops you in your tracks? A diagnosis and a moment where everything changes. For many people, cancer becomes that moment, and when it does, the focus often goes straight to treatment, surgery and survival. But there’s another side of that journey that often gets overlooked.. the mental and emotional battle. In this episode, I sit down with Leanne Hughes, a physiotherapist whose world shifted when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After years helping others rebuild their bodies, she suddenly found herself on the other side of the healing journey. What...

Bruce Lipton | Why Survival of the Fittest Is No Longer Enough
The Ideal Day Podcast with Adam Parker
What if everything we’ve been taught about evolution is incomplete? For over a century, Darwin’s theory of survival of the fittest has shaped how we understand life, health, competition, and progress. Compete. Adapt. Survive. It’s been the dominant model for generations. In this conversation, Bruce unpacks the core ideas from his new book Beyond Darwin, where he argues that evolution is no longer being driven by competition, but by consciousness, cooperation, and environment. We explore what Darwin got right, where the model starts to break down, why genes may not control us the...

Dr. Andrew Kaufman | Water & The Electrical Nature of the Human Body
The Ideal Day Podcast with Adam Parker
Water is the most important substance in the human body. So why do most people know almost nothing about it? We’re told to drink more water, stay hydrated, and carry a bottle everywhere we go. Yet despite drinking litres every day, many people still feel exhausted, inflamed, foggy, and dehydrated at a cellular level. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Andrew Kaufman to explore why water may be one of the most misunderstood substances in modern health. According to emerging research, water isn’t just passive H2O, it may function as an electrical medium inside the body, influencing...

Phil Wilson | There Are Saunas… And Then There Are Saunas
The Ideal Day Podcast with Adam Parker
Sweating is one of the most natural things the human body can do. Yet most people barely sweat anymore. We live indoors, move less, stay in temperature-controlled environments, and at the same time face more exposure to chemicals, plastics, heavy metals, and environmental toxins than any generation before us. In this episode, I sit down with Phil Wilson from Relax Saunas to explore why sauna therapy may be one of the most powerful tools for detoxification, recovery, circulation, nervous system regulation, and energy production. We unpack what actually happens inside the body during an...

The Ideal Day Podcast with Adam Parker
Why are so many people sick today? Not just occasionally unwell, but chronically tired, inflamed, brain fogged, hormonally disrupted, autoimmune, and struggling to function in bodies that seem increasingly fragile.

info_outlineWhat if menopause symptoms aren’t just about hormones… but about the gut? Millions of women are told that hot flushes, bloating, weight gain, poor sleep, brain fog, anxiety, and low energy are simply part of ageing. But that story is often incomplete.
In this episode, I sit down with Cynthia Thurlow, nurse practitioner, metabolic health expert, and author of The Menopause Gut. We explore why hormones never work in isolation, and how the microbiome, inflammation, blood sugar, stress, detox pathways, and metabolism all shape how women experience perimenopause and menopause.
Cynthia explains why symptoms often begin in the gut, how the microbiome changes with age, and why issues like fatigue and stubborn weight gain are rarely random. We also discuss what actually works for women in midlife when it comes to nutrition, movement, stress regulation, sleep, and creating clarity in a season often filled with confusion.
If there’s a woman in your life navigating this transition, this conversation could save years of frustration and provide a roadmap back to feeling like herself again.
