Speaking

I have spoken at many events, for many organisations on a variety of topics related to health, fitness and life. If you are interested in having me speak at your next event, please drop me a line via the Contact page. Following are some examples of topics I've spoken about:

Part of the lineup at the 30th Nimbin Mardigrass Festival, I presented on the current and potential roles for medicinal cannabis in sport.

After caring for women across a generation, I share my most important observations and lessons: The Vagina Dialogues, Don’t Stop, and Keep It Simple.

Short of spending time in a menstrual hut, I discuss some of the important lessons to be learnt from our ancestors, and how they relate to the current health issues facing modern-day women.

Despite obvious advances in medicine and knowledge, children’s health and well-being has taken a gradual downturn since I became a GP. From pre-conception and the 1st 1000 days of life, to the so-called ‘health food aisle’ at the supermarket, exercise habits and screen time I discuss the many avoidable – and not-so-avoidable factors contributing to this phenomenon.

Women are not small men! Understanding the complexities and ‘limitations’ of the menstrual cycle are important in optimising female sports performance, particularly in a world dominated by male athletes and coaches, and advice based on scientific studies involving mostly male subjects. 

After an explanation of our body's own regulatory endocannabinoid system and why medicinal cannabis can be so effective at treating a broad range of range of health conditions, I discuss the FAQ’s on the ins and outs of medicinal cannabis prescribing.
