16 APR 2024 · Nutritional therapist student and mum of 2, Lisa James, sits down and talks to members of the round table, Amy Durston, Debbie Best and me, about the issues we are facing trying to raise our children to make healthy food choices for themselves in a world where they are inundated with sugar, ultraprocessed foods and carb heavy school meals.  A proper good rant, with some suggestions interspersed to inspire you to have a chat with your school about how we can support our children and our schools to make healthier choices, which in effect will positively influence their growing bodies and minds.  Have you spoken to your school about the foods and treats on offer and what we could potentially do to help our children make healthier choices? I'd love to hear from you!

Gio is no exception, and I know that after listening to this episode, you will feel the same way.

He has decided to dedicate the rest of his life to the work he does helping his client shift whatever blocks they are experiencing. His three pillars when working with clients are: Love and value yourself first Speak you 100% truth Take 100% responsibility Gio has seen that when a client engages in this work, everything changes in their life. For listeners of this podcast, Gio has decided to offer you all a free 90 minute strategy session with him, and I highly recommend that you take him up on the offer.

11 DEC 2023 · In this episode, Nutritional Therapist Ben Winthrop and I sit down to talk about the impact our diet and lifestyle can have on the world, especially on New World Monkeys. Ben recently published an ebook about the issues facing the Amazon Rainforest and what we as individuals can do to support the area, and I thought the topic sounded so interesting that I invited him on to the pod to talk to me. The ebook is packed full of information and gorgeous photos, and I'm actually going to get my girls to read it as well, as it's easy to understand, really enlightening, and full of practical tips. If you would like to support the conservation of the Amazon Rainforest, or want to learn more about how our diet could help support New World Monkeys, I highly recommend purchasing the ebook, Sustainable Diets for New World Monkeys. 100% of profits go towards 'Amazon Conservation', a charity dedicated to protecting the rainforest.
