Why “Nourish, Don’t Punish” Is the key to lasting habits
In her first interview on The Most FM for 2026, naturopath and nutritionist Tracy Cowley explores why traditional New Year’s resolutions and restrictive health rules often fail and what works better instead.
Drawing on clinical experience and neuroscience, she shares why positive, additive habits focusing on what you add in rather than cut out, lead to more sustainable gut health and energy. From simple nutrition swap-outs to basic nervous system support, Tracy highlights how small, consistent changes can create meaningful improvements without overwhelm or burnout.
Heard of habit stacking? Do the plank while waiting for the kettle to boil, do a 30 second exhale while waiting at traffic lights. Listen now to discover how small habits can make a big difference.

Healthy School lunches: real food, low stress with things that work
Tracy Cowley unpacks the real challenges parents face with school lunchboxes and why perfection isn’t the goal.
Drawing on both clinical experience and life as a mum of three, Tracy explains how protein and fibre play a critical role in stabilising children’s energy, mood, focus, and gut–brain health throughout the school day.
She shares practical, realistic lunchbox ideas, busts common nutrition myths, and reassures parents that small, consistent changes matter far more than “getting it perfect.”

Oral microbiome, don’t overlook this heavy influencer on gut health & general wellbeing
Tracy Cowley highlights why oral health is a critical and often overlooked as a part of our whole-body and gut health.
Tracy explains how the oral microbiome directly influences digestion, inflammation, and even cardiovascular health, noting that up to 70% of New Zealanders experience some level of gum disease.
She unpacks how bacteria from the mouth are swallowed daily, potentially undermining gut healing if oral health isn’t addressed. Tracy also shares practical, reassuring advice around flossing, brushing, bleeding gums, and mineral depletion, particularly for women post-pregnancy.
A fascinating listen for anyone interested in gut health, immunity, heart health, and simple steps that make a real difference.
