26 oktober 2021 · 59 min
Life doesn't always go to plan. Even when you think you’re sure what you want in life, you may have to dodge some curveballs. When our paths change suddenly or we feel that we've lost our purpose, it can feel extremely destabilizing. Lees meer

The truth behind CBD and if it really works with Dr Julie Moltke
12 oktober 2021 · 57 min
It is estimated that two billion euro’s a year is the size of the European market of CBD. Already, the plant extract is being added to cheeseburgers, toothpicks and breath sprays. Lees meer
The World Health Organisation reports “In humans, CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential….To date, there is no evidence of public health problems associated the use of pure CBD”.
Part of CBD’s popularity is that it purports to be “nonpsychoactive,” and that consumers can reap health benefits from the plant without the high (or the midnight pizza munchies).
In today's episode we explore the facts and science surrounding the trendy CBD market. Dr Julie Moltke is a peer-reviewed clinical researcher and industry consultant with a focus on medicinal cannabis and holistic health. Dr Julie Moltke prescribes medicinal cannabis at Horsted Institute in Denmark and works in child psychiatry in Sweden. She is on the advisory board of The Conservative Drug Policy Reform Group, The Primary Care Cannabis Network, and the patient organisation CPASS, among others.

How can we have a healthy relationship with social media, with Niomi Smart
20 september 2021 · 1 uur 8 min
There are nearly 3.5billion active social media users, and every 6.4 seconds a new account has been created. Lees meer
Many of us use our smartphones as companions. We update our friends, work colleagues and acquaintances on our daily movements and memorable moments in our lives.
At its core, social media is a powerful communication tool that has changed how individuals interact with one another. It speeds up how people exchange and share information, thoughts, and ideas across virtual networks. However, social media does have downsides. Some evidence suggests that its use in particular, its overuse — can negatively affect mental health in numerous ways.
In today's episode I speak to Niomi Smart, content creator, vlogger and the founder of Smart Skin. With a global following of more than 4.6 million across her digital and social media platforms, Niomi has spent all of her adult life navigating social media. We explore if it is possible to form a healthy relationship with social media and why this has been fundamental for Niomi.

Dirt Poor - why has our food become less nutritious with Geologist, Dr David Thomas
15 september 2021 · 1 uur 10 min
Most food science focuses on the chemical content of what we eat. Only a few decades ago, little was known about the presence and importance of trace elements. Dr David Thomas research has focused the importance and presence of trace elements, and if this is affecting our overall health. Lees meer
Today we certainly have a number of environmental challenges that were not there just a few generations ago. The quality of every essential component that enables us to function at an optimum level has been compromised: the sunlight, the air, our water and our food.

Meditation instead of Medication with Cornelius O'Shaughnessy
6 september 2021 · 1 uur 6 min
Meditation is a word we hear a lot today to help calm our minds and deal with daily stressors, but many of us still struggle to grasp it. How powerful is meditation and how can we take the first step? Lees meer
To kick off the first episode of series six, I invited Be Well Collective's meditation expert Cornelius O'Shaughnessy, to take us through his personal journey and a guided meditation.
Having suffered from severe treatment-resistant depression and anxiety since he was 15, Cornelius began to explore alternative ways at managing the condition. He learnt some meditation techniques and they helped to a degree, but they didn’t seem to resolve his depression. It wasn’t until Cornelius began to travel to India and explore the ancient teachings about the mind that were traditionally taught alongside the practice that my state of mind began to shift in a meaningful way. After some years of searching, he came across a very powerful and ancient set of teachings that brought the practice to a new level. Shortly afterwards Cornelius depression and anxiety came to an end. I then began to teach others what I have learned.
This episode is finished on a 10 minute guided meditation by Cornelius.

When clean eating goes to far with Dr Rachel Evans
5 juli 2021 · 1 uur
What often starts with the pursuit of ‘healthy’ eating, can turn into a very restrictive lifestyle and damaging consequences, resulting in nutrient deficiency, malnutrition and severe anxiety around food. Lees meer
Orthorexia is based on behaviours that are ‘unhealthy’ or ‘obsessive’ around food. Understandably, orthorexia can be difficult too diagnose as we see a rise in the pursuit of healthy eating.
In today's episode I speak to Dr Rachel Evans, a chartered psychologist and has herself suffered from orthorexia and bulimia. Rachel speaks from her personal experience of her eating disorder and may be triggering for some people.

How can we look younger? We all want to know the answer to this surely? Age is a natural part of life and it’s something we all ultimately have to face.

Are we being fooled by food labels with Jenny Rosborough
7 juni 2021 · 49 min
We all believe we have a choice when it comes to choosing healthy food options, but do we really? Is our choice merely a small selection of what it chosen to be put in front of our eyes in the limited selection available to us? Lees meer
Seducing claims and health halos such as ‘natural’, ‘superfood’ and ‘low fat’ lead many of us to overestimate how healthy a food is, and it can discourage us to look at the nutritional labelling. Are many of us aware of what labels really mean? How can we understand sugars on food labels and are natural sugars any better for us?
To explore fact from fiction, I speak to Jenny Rosborough on how we can take back the power and confidence in knowing what we are eating.

Are you addicted to food with psychotherapist, Liat Kaye
31 mei 2021 · 1 uur 1 min
Food can be a powerful drug. A taste of sugar hits the brain 20 times faster than a lungful of tobacco smoke. For some, food addiction can be very dangerous. Food addiction is a behavioural addiction and disentangling food addiction can announce heavy feelings of shame, guilt and embracement. Lees meer
So how do we define food addiction? And what do we do when we are surrounding ourselves in an environment which are fuelled towards high fat and sugar foods which are tailored towards our brains reward centre?
In today’s episode I speak to Liat Kaye a psychotherapist who is a recovered food addict herself.

Do you have a healthy relationship with alcohol, with Nick Hickmott
21 april 2021 · 1 uur 2 min
Many of us drink to relax and socialise, but are we aware of how much we are drinking on a daily basis and what affects it may be having on our health? Lees meer
During January this year, alcohol sales surged by 30%. This significant jump in sales has been linked to stress, boredom, anxiety and loneliness caused by the pandemic. When we look at our relationship with alcohol, do we consider the health implications regarding our physical and mental health? What are the health harms linked to drinking alcohol? At what point does it become a problem? The word alcoholic may not directly resonate with many people, but does that imply that you have a healthy relationship with it?
In this weeks episode I speak with Nick Hickmott, Early Intervention Lead at drug, alcohol and mental health charity, We Are With You. Nick works with young adults on a daily basis, aiming to provide young people with all the information they need to make sensible choices whilst offering a friendly ear to those who need it.

Free yourself from Imposter Syndrome with Dr. Valerie Young
13 april 2021 · 43 min
Imposter syndrome is defined as doubting your own abilities and feeling like a fraud. A google search yields more than 5 million responses. Imposter syndrome has been said to people such as, Sheryl Sandberg the COO of Facebook and even first lady Michelle Obama. Lees meer
What I feel seems to be less explored is why does imposter syndrome exist in the first place and what role does our surroundings and workplace play? Is it that we change and re evaluate our thought processes as individuals? Maybe. But how much is our external environment and society influencing us?
Imposter phenomenon is associated with impaired job performance, decreased satisfaction at work and burnout.
To help me explore this further, I speak to phenomenal Dr. Valerie Young. Dr Young is an internationally-known expert on imposter syndrome and author of award-winning book The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women: Why Capable People Suffer from the Imposter Syndrome and How to Thrive in Spite of It.

Navigating Sobriety with Millie Gooch
22 maart 2021 · 58 min
Opening up the conversation surrounding sobriety can feel daunting for many people. In the UK we have an ingrained drinking culture and you can feel ostracised if you don’t drink. People quickly form the opinion that you have a “problem”. Reevaluating our relationship with alcohol and becoming sober curious shouldn’t need a reason. Lees meer
Alcohol is classed as a pharmacological drug and can heavily impact our mental and physical health. Deaths from alcohol reached a record high during 2020.
In today’s episode I speak to Millie Gooch, one of the female voices pioneering the sobriety movement in the UK today. In February 2018, Millie Gooch gave up alcohol after it started to take a toll of her mental health and wellbeing. Seven months later she founded the Sober Girl Society, an online and real life space for women who don’t drink booze. We cover how you can make the first move to becoming sober curious, where do you start and how you live your life to the fullest without alcohol.

How to eat sustainability with dietitian Louise Symington
8 december 2020 · 1 uur 1 min
How can we achieve a dietary intake which protects our health and our planet at the same time? One that is affordable and equitable? Lees meer
When we look at food sustainability, we need to include protecting populations from non-communicable diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, producing our food with fewer resources, such as land, water and fuel to help feed to fast growing population. And it doesn't stop there, ethical food labelling can be a minefield of who to trust and not to trust.
To help me uncover this important topic, I speak to registered dietitian Louise Symington, aka the sustainable dietitian. With over 15 years experience, Louise has advised the Green Food Project and worked in food policy and worked with Sustain to provide schools and local authorities on providing good food quality.

Why the future of our planet relies on the children of today with George Lamb
30 november 2020 · 1 uur 6 min
Food is complex. It doesn't just effect our health and general wellbeing, it also effects how we farm, how accessible it is to us and the affordability as well as political issues such as the recent agriculture bill. Yet, how could we help create a more sustainable and attainable food system? Will this begin with the children of today? Lees meer
George Lamb shares his personal story of leaving his celebrity life, after a realisation that it was no longer serving him. Growing an innate interest in how he could help shape a healthy world, his path lead him into education. Today he has created GROW. GROW works in schools and communities to promote mental well-being, physical health and a more hands-on relationship with the natural world.

With 2.5 million in the UK living with cancer, and breast cancer is the number one cancer for women, affecting 1 in 8 women in the UK.

13 oktober 2020 · 1 uur 6 min
Understanding how and why we suffer with mental health, is critical to supporting it. Do you often feel fear, stressed or anxious? You are not alone. Anxiety can persist; whether you know the root cause or not. It can make you imagine that things in your life are worse than they really are, and can prevent you from confronting your fears – you might even think you’re going mad. Lees meer
Jodie Kidd, international supermodel speaks to me with her devastating time battling anxiety and how it ultimately led to her hanging up her shoes for her successful modelling career. Jodie suffered with serve anxiety for many years which affected both her physical health and mental health so drastically, that she was beaten down by the press as a poor role model as well as her own self-worth and self-esteem.

An Agents View: Live Episode at Be Well Summit with Model Agent Karen Diamond from Models 1
4 oktober 2020 · 24 min
It is not very often that we get to hear an agents view on models health. Many times people compare models to athletes. Needing to be strict with their diets and vigorous exercise regime, a short career in a high pressured environment. Mental health is known to suffer from daily comparisons of high standards and rejection. Lees meer
In the last of the LFW special season, I speak to Karen Dimond, owner and director of Models 1, a leading modelling agency in the heart of London. Karen speaks very openly acknowledging the press that agents get is absolutely dreadful - especially during London Fashion Week because there's a huge spotlight on models. Highlighting there's always going to be a front page picture of a slim model who has been shot at an angle to look incredibly thin, which then becomes something which is being celebrated, but the reality is you do have to be strong and healthy to be a model.

Why comparing ourselves is so detrimental: Live Episode at Be Well Summit with Kimberley Wilson
20 september 2020 · 16 min
No sensible discussion about body image can start without an understanding of Social Comparison Theory (SCT). We all compare ourselves, whether it is a physical trait, psychological quality, talent on finical value to others. The SCT looks at the pattern of those comparisons and the impact this has on our wellbeing and very importantly how this can affect our body image. Lees meer
In this special LFW episode, I invite psychologist and author, Kimberly Wilson on stage to discuss the social comparison theory and body image. Modelling and working in fashion comes with a lot of opportunities, but the tax young people pay for that is working in an industry where absolute strangers can critique your body. All day. Every day.
In this kind of environment, our natural tendency to social comparison gets dialled up, which can put stain on relationships and the risk of self-objectification is real, affecting low self-esteem.
Kimberly discusses the steps to take to help re address your values and how to create an anchor for your self esteem.
This episode was recorded live at the LFW, Be Well Collective Wellbeing Summit 2020.

Navigating the FODMAP diet for IBS treatment with Dr Jane Muir
14 september 2020 · 57 min
We spend three quarters of a billion pounds on probiotic products that promise to balance our microbiome. We sip on kombucha and pickle kimchi. The evidence stacks when we discuss the connection between our brain and gut. With two out 10 people in the UK suffering with IBS, and no cure for those who suffer with IBS, severe IBS symptoms can heavily implode on peoples lives. Lees meer
In this episode I speak to Dr Jane Muir, lead dietitian at Monash university. Researchers at Monash discovered certain short chain carbohydrates could not be digested and caused aggravation for many people with IBS, naming these, FODMAPs. Although research suggests that there is not one single cause for IBS, there are a variety of treatments, including that can help improve symptoms and thus quality of life.
We discuss how a low FODMAP diet may help improve symptoms of IBS, alongside other treatments such as CBT, hypnotherapy and movement.

When can our relationships with food become problematic with Renee Mcgregor
16 augustus 2020 · 1 uur 10 min
We all have an emotional connection with food, and for some during lockdown this has been emphasized more than others. Disruption to many of our carefully planned routines, lack of access to social networks and increased anxiety means food has become a comfort in time of need. Lees meer
Alongside the current media pressure to “transform yourself” during lockdown, these messages can amplify the internal dialogue and make the struggle with poor body image and a difficult relationship with food even harder. For many of us who rely on the gym or struggles with exercise addiction, seeing the nation’s newfound fitness craze under lockdown has also proved triggering.
To help make sense of it all is Renee Mcgregor is a leading Sports and Eating disorder specialist dietitian with 20 years’ experience working in clinical and performance nutrition.

Learning to accept ourselves with Caggie Dunlop.
9 augustus 2020 · 1 uur 9 min
It can be extremely hard to not compare ourselves to one another, yet this holds a negative impact in how we view ourselves. Changing your thoughts and beliefs because someone else either approves or disapproves, and ascribing your self-worth to the approval of others can become tiresome. It can also lead to anxiety, depression and eating disorders, among other mental health illnesses. I speak to Caggie Dunlop, who felt the pressures which fame brought, and opens up about her personal struggles. Lees meer

Pseudoscience and how it is harming our health with Dr Izzy Smith
2 augustus 2020 · 31 min
Science is full of people who disagree with one another . If we all thought exactly the same way, we could retire and call the status quo truth. But when theories have no scientific backing behind them, and when people start to fear food which has no scientific evidence, we have to challenge that. Lees meer
Following on from last weeks episode with Dr Izzy Smith, we help to clarify some of nutrition myths. Celery juice has been tipped to cure digestive and immune disorders, fluoride use has been linked to autism and the oral conceptive has been linked to an increase risk of breast cancer.

Dairy vs Soy, which is right for you with Dr Izzy Smith
23 juli 2020 · 40 min
The UK is now drinking 50% less milk than they were in 1974, and almost a quarter of Britons are consuming plant-based milk alternatives as the popularity of vegan diets continues to grow. Yet there is still a lot confusion about dairy and soy milk when it comes to our health. Does soy affect our breast cancer risk? Does soy interfere with our hormones? We've heard many times dairy leaches calcium from our bones, is this true? Lees meer
With so many misconceptions between soy and dairy, it's hard to differentiate between fact and fiction. In the first series of season 2, I speak to Dr Izzy Smith who is a medical doctor working in Sydney Australia, specialising in general internal medicine and endocrinology aka the study of hormone health. She is also a qualified personal trainer and ambassador for the Men’s health charity Movember and a passionate runner and athlete herself.

21 mei 2020 · 22 min
A live episode from the Be Well 2020 summit Lees meer
What is the real science behind what we eat? We are all increasingly bewildered by the simple question of what to eat. Despite advice from experts, governments and dieticians about the dangers of too much fat, sugar, protein and lack of exercise, our nutrition, and the global obesity crisis, is getting worse. There is one area which scientists do agree on, and that is the importance of our gut health.
In this episode, Dr Tim Spector speaks live at Sarah Ann's Be Well Collective wellbeing event. Tim is a Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at Guys and St Thomas Hospital. Tm has published over 900 scientific journals, and leads the largest microbiome project in the UK, the Twin Study.

16 april 2020 · 1 uur 6 min
This episode features Kimberley Wilson, a psychologist and author specialising in how to build a healthy brain, an area I firmly believe in when it comes to nutrition and brain health. Lees meer
In the last four weeks we have all been thrown into an unfamiliar and daunting world. Therefore, it isn’t entirely surprising that two thirds of Britons are reporting that it is harder to stay positive about the future and over half of us find it a struggle to stay positive day-to-day.
In this episode we uncover why we may be struggling to cope with a mixture of emotions at present, what strategies we can implement to help and what foods may help support our brains. You will soon be able to tell, Kimberley and I had a lot of fun throughout this podcast and I hope it helps bring some laughter as well as important information to you all too.
