Thrive: Mind and Body
Psychology and nutrition for complete wellbeing.
Hosted by a Clinical Nutritionist and a Counselling Psychologist, who also happen to be mother and son.
You can't have one without the other
Most health advice picks a side, the physical or the mental, and then wonders why the results don't hold.
On Thrive: Mind and Body, we treat that split as the problem rather than the starting point. What you eat changes how you think. How you think changes what you eat. Neither of us can do our job properly while ignoring the other's.
So each episode takes a complex health topic and works it from both ends at once, the biology and the psychology, and turns it into steps you can use the same week.
Complex topics, made usable
The topics below come up most often, both on the show and in the clinic.
The gut–brain connection
How what you eat dictates how you feel, and why the gut gets called the second brain.
Stress management
Practical tools from both a psychological and a nutritional lens, used together.
Sleep & recovery
Optimising your environment and your biology for genuinely deep rest.
Hormonal health
Getting through life's transitions with science-backed support rather than guesswork.
Relatable conversations
Real stories from our clinical practice and from our own lives, told plainly.

A nutritionist and a psychologist
Two clinicians, two disciplines, one kitchen table. We've been having versions of this conversation for years. The podcast just turned the recorder on.
The Nutritionist
Luke Gabites
As a Registered Clinical Nutritionist, I cover the biological side. Mostly that means taking current research and working out what it actually means for your energy, your mood and your long-term health.
The Psychologist
Jane Gabites
Jane is a Registered Counselling Psychologist with over a decade in private practice. She specialises in mindfulness, stress reduction and calming the nervous system, and works with people through anxiety, burnout and life transitions.
