Best weight loss program Australia: The ‘miracle' weight loss program helping Aussies shift stubborn kilos
As we edge through the last remaining weeks of winter and head towards the spring, you wouldn't be alone if your mind is turning towards getting in shape by the time we hit bikini season. But what if you heard there was a 'miracle' weight loss program that could help you to shift stubborn kilos while still eating the foods you love? This was exactly what 40-year-old mum-of-three Erin Bruce was after when she stumbled upon the Train With Ash approach. After years of restrictive diets and gruelling workouts with little success, Erin joined the popular Aussie program in 2020. She did so after hearing founder Ash Lane's balanced approach: eat more, train less, and say yes to ice cream without any guilt. Since then, Erin has lost a staggering 24 kilos — dropping from 85kg to 61kg, while still enjoying pizza and doughnuts. And of course, Erin isn't the only Train With Ash success story. 44-year-old mum of seven Renee Turner was also at breaking point when she tried Train With Ash at the start of 2024. After spending years putting everyone else's needs before her own, she felt exhausted, unhappy with her fitness and no longer recognised the person in the mirror. When she started Train With Ash's free five-day challenge, she embraced weight training for the first time in her life, and since then, Renee has lost 7.5 kilos, taken 12cm off her hips, 10cm off her waist and 6cm off each thigh. 'Do it. Take the risk, you'll never regret doing something for you,' she told Best Picks. Unlike traditional programs that rely on restrictions, Train With Ash is designed to fit into the lives of busy, everyday women, especially mums juggling it all. Founded by Ash Lane, the multi-million-dollar coaching business changes the lives (and waistlines) of thousands joining the 12-week weight loss program. Rather than restriction, deprivation and tactics, Train With Ash focuses on the mindset, fitness and non-restrictive dieting. With a massive online community, transformational results, and a waitlist growing by the day, the program is one of Australia's most impactful women's health programs. Much of why Train With Ash has become such a success story comes from the fact that it was built off Ash's own success with trying something different when it comes to weight loss. When Ash looks back on her twenties, she remembers the grind — hours in the gym, cutting carbs, skipping cake at birthday parties, and counting every calorie. 'I thought that's what it took to get results,' she tells Best Picks. 'But I was miserable, and the moment I stopped, the weight would come back.' After years of trial, error, and education, Ash discovered the science behind fat loss — and realised women didn't need to live in a cycle of restriction and guilt. Instead of deprivation, women needed sustainable nutrition, minimal but effective training and education — so people understood why this approach works. 'Training? Just three sessions a week — and no, you don't have to live in activewear or cancel dinner with friends to make it work,' Ash says. What started as a small coaching business from Ash's home office is now a massive online movement. Thousands of women around the country are dedicated to Train With Ash, with hundreds sharing their success stories and progress shots. 'I want women to know they can have the body, health, and confidence they want — without giving up the things they love,' Ash says. 'It's not about punishment. It's about a plan that fits your life, not the other way around.' For more information about Train With Ash, and to try the program for yourself, head here now. The next free five-day challenge starts on September 1. For more information and to get involved, head here now. Typical day on a plate with Train With Ash

Best essential oils for a deep and restful sleep: Aussies are ditching afternoon caffeine in favour of a ‘calming' oil blend
If you find yourself unable to drift off into a deep sleep a night, it could be because of your last coffee. Despite its delicious taste and energising effect, caffeinated drinks are often the cause of a restless sleep. 'Caffeine has become a daily essential for many,' says Aromatherapy Specialist Pat Princi-Jones, who shares that a whopping 44 per cent of Aussies consume multiple cups a day, often first thing in the morning. But while the taste of a cup is second to none, the effects may not be working in your favour. 'It's also a silent contributor to poor sleep, heightened stress, and a cycle of fatigue that impacts long-term wellbeing,' she explains. If you're ready to hit pause on your caffeine intake and kickstart a healthier relationship with sleep, now is the perfect time to switch up your routine. National Sleep Week, from August 11 to August 15, is the perfect reminder of the importance of a great night's sleep — and there's plenty of things you can add to your evening routine — all free from the jittery effects of caffeine. In Essence, Australia's leading essential oil brand, is home to plenty of sleep-promoting products, from quiet diffusers to calming essential oil blends which shoppers swear by for the 'calming effects' and 'beautiful scents'. With over 35 years of clinical aromatherapy expertise, In Essence has become Aussies' go-to for essential oils. Home to non-caffeinated wellness rituals that restore calm and support energy naturally, In Essence's Therapeutics range features three sought-after oil blends; Sleep, Stress, and Anxiety. Offering a holistic alternative to overstimulation, these calming and soothing oils support the mind and body throughout the day and night. Whether you prefer a diffuser sitting on your bedside table, or like to apply a small amount of oil directly to your pulse points, there's a wide variety to shop. Below, Best Picks rounds us the top-rated products Aussies 'love' for a deep sleep. In Essence Sleep Blend Crafted from a blend of 100 per cent pure lavender, mandarin, roman chamomile and valerian essentials oils, the Sleep Essential Blend calms and prepares the body and mind for a restful sleep. You can either add a few drops into your diffuser or apply directly to your pulse points. Sleep Essential Oil Blend 10ml, $26.45 Sleep Essential Oil Blend 25ml, $42.45 Sleep Essential Oil Roll On 10ml, $26.45 Sleep Mist 100ml, $32.95 In Essence Stress Blend For those on the hunt for an afternoon pick-me-up, switch your coffee for an uplifting blend of orange, mandarin, bergamot, geranium and patchouli. Great for relieving symptoms of nervous tension, the Stress Blend is perfect for calming the mind. Stress Essential Oil Blend 25ml, $42.45 Stress Essential Oil Roll On 10ml, $26.45 In Essence Anxiety Blend Combining sweet orange, lavender, ylang ylang and frankincense, this comforting concoction helps to promote emotional stability when you need it the most.

Tried and tested Best Picks writer Holly put Rest Club to the test, to see if the new guided meditations could help her drift off easily. 'Ever since returning from overseas I've struggled to sleep the entire night through, often waking up multiple times, tossing and turning too much. 'As someone who needs a solid eight hours of sleep, I was really keen to try out the Rest Club meditations as I wind down for the evening — in hope they would do the trick. 'So after getting comfortable in bed, I pressed play on Meg's Deep Sleep Meditation, listening to her soothing voice as I focused on my breathe and attempted to clear my mind after a long week. 'She really helped me to notice how much tension I was holding onto and how to let it go before falling asleep, and it must have worked to relax my mind and body as I slept for a solid seven hours. 'Like everything, consistency is key — so I'll be adding Meg's meditations to my evening routines.'
