Prescribing Lifestyle with Dr Avi Charlton

This is a special episode of the Prescribing Lifestyle podcast, created as part of #Podcasthon 2026—the world's largest podcast charity initiative. For one week, thousands of podcasters around the globe highlight a charity of their choice to raise awareness and inspire support, with no money flowing through Podcasthon itself. For this year's Podcasthon, I'm shining a spotlight on Low Carb Down Under @lowcarb_aus, a grassroots Australian organisation that has quietly educated millions about real food, metabolic health, and low carbohydrate nutrition through conferences and a huge free video library. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr Rod Tayler, anaesthetist and founder of Low Carb Down Under. Rod shares his personal journey from sugar awareness in the 1990s to building one of the world's biggest low-carb education platforms—long before "metabolic health" became mainstream. In this conversation, we cover Rod's personal story How a colleague's recommendation of Sweet Poison by David Gillespie led him to cut sugar, lose weight, and resolve irritable bowel symptoms. Running a 3‑month "sugar reduction" study with 158 Epworth Hospital staff—using a one‑page sugar calculator—and what happened to sugar intake and weight. The birth of Low Carb Down Under Discovering the global low carb community after the study hit page 3 of The Sunday Age. Attending a Caribbean low-carb cruise conference and meeting pioneers like Eric Westman, Jeff Volek, Andreas Eenfeldt and others. Co-creating the first Low Carb Down Under events in Brisbane and then across Australia, and later co‑organising conferences in the US (including in Vail and Denver). Growing the YouTube channel to over 600+ talks and tens of millions of views, all ad‑free, covering diabetes, cholesterol, dementia, gut health, practical implementation and more. Why low carb matters for almost everyone How sugar and refined carbohydrates drive obesity, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver and metabolic ill-health. Metabolic syndrome markers: waist circumference, blood pressure, triglycerides, HDL and glucose/insulin control—and why around 90% of adults show at least one marker. Why low-carb / real-food eating can be a powerful tool for improving or reversing metabolic dysfunction, and why Rod believes it should be part of standard care. New US Dietary Guidelines & metabolic health The recent U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans update that flips the old pyramid—bringing meat, eggs, cheese and healthy fats back to the centre and reducing emphasis on refined carbohydrate intake. The role of the new Coalition for Metabolic Health and the Baszucki family's philanthropy in pushing for evidence-based nutrition policy and metabolic health research. Why Low Carb Down Under needs support Low Carb Down Under runs as a non-profit, volunteer-driven project. Funds from Patreon and donations help cover conference recording, video production, hosting, and ongoing content creation so that all talks remain freely available worldwide. About Low Carb Down Under Low Carb Down Under is an Australian initiative that: Organises in-person low-carb and metabolic health conferences across Australia. Hosts one of the world's most comprehensive free low‑carb video libraries on YouTube.

Discovering Your New Self at Menopause with Terri Batsakis In this episode, I am joined by Terri Batsakis, a certified menopause coaching specialist and women's health, nutrition, and mindset coach, for an honest conversation about what really changes in midlife—and how women can feel empowered (not blindsided) through perimenopause and menopause. Terri shares her personal turning point during perimenopause, how it reshaped her identity and career direction, and why so many women feel like "what used to work" (food, exercise, coping strategies) suddenly stops working. What we talk about Why midlife can feel like a full identity shift: changing hormones can impact mood, confidence, relationships, and the way your body responds to food and movement. Terri's story: navigating perimenopause symptoms while running a high-demand business, and the moment she realised she needed a major life pivot. The "I don't know who I am anymore" experience: anxiety, resentment, insecurity, people-pleasing, and confidence loss—especially when kids are leaving home, careers are evolving, and caregiving pressures increase. Nutrition in midlife: moving away from the old diet culture mindset (restriction, deprivation, constant snacking) toward nourishment, stable blood sugar, and perimenopause-aligned habits. Movement changes: why some women feel better shifting from lots of cardio to more strength training and restorative movement to support stress and body composition. Emotional eating + self-sabotage: recognising triggers and building new coping strategies (connection, movement, meditation, support) rather than using food for comfort. Relationship dynamics: how dropping oestrogen/progesterone can affect patience, nurturing behaviour, boundaries, and why conflict can increase at home if no one understands what's happening. Menopause hormone therapy (MHT/HRT): why Terri encourages women not to rule it out based on old fears, and how to ask better questions so you can make an informed choice. Terri's top 3 tips for midlife health Sleep first: better sleep supports mood, appetite regulation, energy, cravings, and resilience. Hydration: drinking enough water (and using electrolytes when needed), especially with hot flushes, exercise, or warm weather. Stress management: understanding that "stress" can include poor sleep, under-eating, food intolerances, pain, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies—and building daily tools to regulate your nervous system. How Terri supports women Terri supports women through perimenopause and menopause with education and coaching across key midlife pillars—sleep, stress, nutrition, hydration, and movement—plus mindset and behavioural coaching around emotional eating, people-pleasing, confidence, and boundaries. She offers: 1:1 coaching and nutrition coaching options. Programs focused on harmonising hormones through lifestyle support. Community support, including group-style learning and connection (as discussed in the episode).

In this episode, I sit down with health coach, podcaster, and consultant Jenn Trepeck, host of Salad with a Side of Fries. Jenn shares her personal journey from the business world into health coaching—a shift sparked by her own experiences with endless diets, weight struggles, and ultimately, finding a sustainable wellness approach. I loved hearing how Jenn escaped the diet rollercoaster and dedicated her career to helping others do the same. We dug into her health coaching philosophy, which centres on four key elements: low glycemic impact nutrition, focusing on body composition, building lasting behaviour change, and using strategic supplementation to support individual needs. We talked openly about the value of measuring health beyond the scale, the real impact of reducing inflammation, and client stories—like finding new confidence, moving pain-free, and living energetically without crash diets. Jenn shared her practical tips for busy lives, working with families and teens, eating "fridge first," and fitting in self-care when life gets hectic.
