Fit + Feelgood Podcast

Join me as I take a coffee break with Claire Houston from @clairehoustontherapy to discuss eating disorders during this special awareness week. Claire is a qualified CBT (cognitive behavioural therapist) and then some. She specialises in eating disorders and I was amazed at just how little I knew about this complicated subject. We could have talked for hours, but had to settled on 90 mins as Claire took us through the most common disorders - Bulimia, Binge Eating and Anorexia. 

Claire provides us with some great tips towards spotting someone with an eating disorder or looking inwards to ascertain whether this is a path you're encroaching upon. We also talk about where people can get support, talk and work towards recovery. I am sure there is more to come with me and Claire, but for now you can follow her on @clairehoustontherapy on social media.

Join me as I take a coffee break with Rebekah Brown from Mpowder (www.mpowder.store) to discuss all things menopause and specifically - Peri-menopause and how to do it well. I hear the inspirational story of how Rebekah started this business from her own frustrations of not knowing how to tackle Peri-menopause and finding little help in regards to nourishing the body at this time of life. Luckily for us, Rebekahs own menopausal journey is our gain and we hear all about the supplementary powders being created to help us women through these bio-phases on menopause.

Along the way Rebekah provides us with details of symptoms to look out for signalling you may be peri-menopause not bonkers (as so many of us feel!) and answers some of our listeners questions relating to their menopausal journey and how the Mpowder supplements could help them peri-menopause well.

The Peri-boost powder is already available and I've ordered mine. The meno-boost and post-boost are on there way in 2021 and there's still time for you to help be part of the trial team to perfect the taste. visit www.mpowder.store

Join me as I take a coffee break with Lisa and Rupert from All About Greens (www.allaboutgreens.co.uk) to discuss everything you need to know about incorporating more plant-based eating or transitioning to a completely vegan diet. We hear all about Ruperts personal journey to plant-based eating after years working as a top chef in Michelin star restaurants and the amazing way they work together to recreate traditional dishes such as Fish and Chips from plant-based ingredients. 

They provide us with some fantastic sensible tips for those who want to move towards plant-based eating and answer some of our clients burning questions surrounding protein, calories and wind! Yup, we also get some tips on how to embrace the farts in the first few weeks. 

All About Greens are launching their 21 day programme mid November followed by a full 'how to' cook plant-based food educational series, so make sure you check out their website and register your interest www.allaboutgreens.co.uk
