From eating pasta in Italy with no health issues at all, to one month later going through a stressful time in her life, Rachel was diagnosed with coeliac disease.

In this week’s episode we chatted to Rachel Simpson, who does many things! She is a Women’s Health Educator for women who want to understand their bodies, an Australian-trained physiotherapist, nutrition and health coach and natural fertility educator, where she teaches women all those things they never learnt in health class – from periods, pregnancy and pelvic floor. She has her own podcast Mana Women’s Wellness, which is connected to her resource library and her digital guides, where she answers all those questions you’ve been secretly Googling. We also talk about a life changing diagnoses of coeliac disease she got at 25 after a stressful moment in her life. It was pretty tough for her at the time, but now she’s super healthy and looking to start a family very soon.

Here’s a summary of what we spoke about:

What she studied at uni, and how she has evolved from being a physiotherapist to a women’s health educator
