The Reinvent Health Podcast

In today’s conversation my guest is Gogo Hopane Masekela, traditional healer, grief and divorce coach, Reiki practitioner, and passionate advocate for the protection and integration of indigenous healing practices in South Africa. She’s also a speaker at this year’s Organic & Natural Expo, where she’ll be sharing her insights on emotional, spiritual, and energetic health. As well as bringing Africa’s own medicinal culture onto the worlds stage. This episode is about healing beyond the physical. It’s about reclaiming our intuition, honouring our pain, and remembering that wellness isn’t just something we chase—it’s something we return to. #reinventhealth #africanplantmedicine #plantmedicine #mphoroberta #gogohopane #organicandnaturalexpo #healthpodcast #healing #traditionalhealing #niccirobertson #livewellthrive #mindbodysoulfood mphoroberta@gmail.com www.RobertaHoldings.co.za https://www.organicandnaturalportal.com/expo/ Website · Instagram · FaceBook · X · BioSite · LinkedIn · YouTube

in today’s episode, we’re diving into something that so many people silently struggle with — back pain. But not just the kind that comes from lifting something heavy or sleeping funny. We’re talking about the kind of pain that builds up over time — often linked to stress, emotional tension, and the all-too-common habit of spending most of our lives sitting still. Chronic stress doesn’t just affect your mood or your sleep — it can literally reshape the way your body feels and functions. Combine that with a sedentary lifestyle, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for persistent back pain. To help us unpack all of this, I’m joined today by someone who truly understands the intricate connection between the spine, the nervous system, and overall well-being — Dr. Darren Subrayan. Dr. Darren is a chiropractor with a deep passion for spinal health. He brings a wealth of clinical experience and a compassionate approach to understanding not just the symptoms, but the story behind the pain. In our conversation, we’ll explore how stress shows up in the body, why movement is medicine, and what simple, effective steps you can take to support your spine and your health — starting today.

In this episode we’re diving into a conversation that so many of us—especially mothers—need to hear. Setting boundaries is one of the hardest things to do, yet it’s essential for our health, well-being, and the way we show up for our families. Why do we struggle with it so much? Why do so we feel depleted, constantly giving without refilling their own cups? To help us unpack this, I’m joined by Dr. Kirsten Lauritzen, a highly respected functional medicine practitioner who specialises in women’s health, burnout, and performance. She’s here to shed light on why boundaries are so difficult to maintain, the physiological and emotional toll of over-giving, and how we can start reclaiming our energy and well-being.
