There I was thinking I knew quite a lot about nutrition, diet, the gut and how it all works... but turns out, I really have so much to learn!  So I was blessed to get to sit down with the wonderful nutrition consultant and founder of MetaWell, Minna Wood

She is a walking, talking advert for what she promotes... she is the epitome of health with beautiful glossy hair, bright eyes and incredible skin! I was so envious! 

We discuss all things food and emotion. Minna explains how a high-sugar, high-additive, processed diet is addictive and can lead to low mood, anxiety and mental health issues. We also discuss foods that can improve moods, reduce anxiety and improve mental health conditions...and as always, so much more. Meet Minna!

After more than twenty years as a Director, Producer and Senior Executive in the fast paced, high - pressured, and very competitive world of television, Steve decided to use his experience to change his life, and the lives of others. TV gave him a privileged and unique opportunity to meet people who had overcome massive obstacles to achieve extraordinary success, and he made it his mission to discover what is it that separates those who triumph and those who struggle and fail.

Stephen uses simple, easy to understand neuroscience principles to help people and organisations gain an insight into why they do what they do and how they can change the things that are keeping them stuck and move forward to reach their goals. 

In this utterly fascinating chat we discuss the conscious and subconscious mind; beliefs, behaviours, emotions and our self-Image; autopilot and how we can control it; breaking the “Terror Barrier”; how the language we use affects our life; and as always, so much more!

Steve’s step-by-step customised program is tailored specifically for the needs of your organisation. The Thrive Formula is delivered over 12-weeks and is designed to produce lasting change with tangible results.

My guest today has struggled with her weight for most of her life and she truly understands just how hard it is to live with obesity.
.
10 years ago, Sarah Le Brocq was 24 stone. She applied to be on the show Fat: The Fight of my Life, she was selected to feature on the show and over the course of that following year she lost 8 stone and competed in various top level endurance events. However, over the subsequent few years, she regained most of the weight, despite continuing her intense training. This encouraged her to delve a little deeper and she learnt more about the complexities of obesity.
.
Sarah is passionate about reducing weight stigma and is spending much of her time dedicated to raising the awareness of these complexities.
In this chat we discuss the damage done by the labels given at childhood and through the tough years of adolescence. We discuss fad diets, fat pills, the myths around obesity and pregnancy. We talk about the desperate need for an update in knowledge and language by teachers, healthcare professionals and, well,  just about everyone else too really....  and, as always, so much more.
.
This raw, honest conversation is so brave and I really hope it opens your eyes as much as it did mine.  Obesity is a disease. For there to be changes, we all need to step up and take part like Sarah is doing.
