🎧 🌟 Catch up on Wellness by Designs:
You’ve probably heard kiwifruit mentioned for constipation, but the real story is bigger and more precise. We’re joined by Ping Ong, Nutritional Scientist and Researcher for Livaux at Energenics, to explore how a patented New Zealand gold kiwifruit powder is being used as a precision prebiotic to support keystone bacteria and the metabolites that drive real gut function.
We unpack why Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (FPR) keeps showing up in the research as a marker of a healthy gut microbiome, and why it’s so hard to target with standard probiotic approaches (it’s extremely oxygen sensitive). From there, we follow the butyrate trail: how this short-chain fatty acid fuels colon cells, supports mucus and tight junctions, and helps regulate inflammatory signalling pathways that can influence far more than digestion. We also talk about what it means when symptom improvement lines up with measurable microbiome change, and why that combination can give practitioners and patients more confidence than symptoms alone.
If you work with IBS, bloating, or sensitive guts, we get practical about fermentation speed, gas production, and why complex kiwifruit pectin may ferment more slowly across the colon than inulin, FOS, or GOS. We also discuss dose and compliance, supply chain quality control (including sourcing from Zespri-approved orchards), and how Livaux may pair with probiotics to support butyrate production and a more favourable gut environment.

🏃‍♀️ 🏋️‍♂️ Your patient is exercising regularly, but what about the other 23 hours of their day?
When it comes to metabolic health, what happens outside structured exercise deserves just as much attention.
In Episode 154 of the Wellness by Designs podcast, naturopathic sports nutritionist Kira Sutherland explores the often-overlooked role of non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) and why incidental movement is an important consideration in clinical practice.
From nutrition and chrononutrition to metabolic adaptation, muscle preservation and movement, Kira discusses why supporting metabolic health requires a more individualised, whole-person approach.
Because optimising metabolic health isn’t just about what your patients eat or how often they train. It’s about understanding the bigger picture.
🎧 Listen to Kira Sutherland’s episode of Wellness by Designs for practical clinical insights into metabolic health, body composition and the factors that may be influencing your patients’ progress.

🎓 🌟 JOIN US TOMORROW at 12pm - LIVE SEPTEMBER BUSINESS WEBINAR!
What if difficult client conversations didn’t have to cost you your peace of mind?
💥 A refund demand after a missed appointment.
💥 An after-hours message that really belongs in a consult.
💥 A complaint you weren’t expecting.
Without clear policies and processes in place, these moments can quickly become stressful judgement calls that consume your time, energy and confidence.
Join us live for the third and final instalment of Michelle Whitehead’s three-part series, as she brings practical clarity to refunds, cancellations, client boundaries and complaints.
🌟 What this session covers:
✅ Refunds and consumer law: Distinguish between legally required refunds and discretionary goodwill, so you can respond with greater clarity and confidence.
✅ Clearer policies: Strengthen your refund and cancellation policies to set expectations upfront and protect your time and practice.
✅ Boundaries without the burnout: Learn practical language for responding to after-hours messages, scope creep and requests outside your usual services with warmth and consistency.
✅ A framework for complaints: Use a structured approach to respond, document what matters,
de-escalate difficult conversations and recognise when external legal support may be appropriate.
You’ll walk away with practical frameworks to help you know your position, communicate your boundaries and approach challenging client conversations with greater confidence and consistency.
💬 Be part of the conversation in our collaborative Q&A and practitioner discussion.
