About Naked Insights

The Naked Insights Podcast explores the powerful connection between mind and body in navigating trauma, health, and relationships and focuses on making sense of human behaviour through trauma, attachment and neuroscience. Each episode examines how our perceptions and behaviours shape mental health, our relationships with others, and the delicate balance with physical well-being. From managing trauma, workplace stress, and major life transitions to cultivating healthy, nourishing relationships, Naked Insights offers tools, tips, and real stories to help you and your loved ones become more resilient and adaptable to change. Through an integrative and evidence-based lens, you’ll learn how to maintain balance and well-being in today’s increasingly chaotic world. Hosted by Adele Theron, each season features a different expert as she deep-dives into the intersections between trauma, health, and relationships. Season 1 features Sam McSorley, a functional medicine specialist and together Adele and Sam bridge the gap between holistic health and psychological resilience, guiding you towards a more balanced, empowered, and successful life. Season 2 features Dr Lindsay Aikman, a consultant clinical psychologist and together they bring a clinically grounded lens to mental health, trauma, and relationships, cutting through myths, challenging oversimplified narratives, and exploring what truly supports lasting change.
