Series 4 is ending on a high with this really interesting and thought-provoking conversation with neuroscientist, Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas. Through his understanding of the brain, he's able to explain clearly and with compassion how we can - quite unwittingly - programme our brains into thinking we're reacting to specific foods that we deem to be 'bad'. Not only that, how our brains can control the way we absorb and use the food we eat for energy and fat storage. Understanding this is powerful, because in making sense of how detrimental neuro pathways are set up and reinforced, we can then learn tools and techniques to remodel our brains, in a way that ultimately allows us to live more joyful lives, and be free to enjoy food on a whole new level.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone on a restrictive diet, who feels fed up and at a loss as to what to do about it. In this episode, baker Vanessa Kimbell shares the story of her love affair with baking, alongside the health challenges she faced following years of multiple rounds of antibiotics, which led to her becoming sensitive to her favourite food: Bread. Vanessa's quest to recover the health of her gut microbiome and tolerate food again spurred her mission to understand bread on a whole new level. Fast-forward to the present day, and Vanessa is now on course to complete a doctorate in Nutrition and Digestibility of Bread, having founded The Sourdough School and authored 5 books on the subject. I can't think of anyone more qualified to discuss bread, baking, and a love of food with! I really hope you enjoy our conversation.

Dr Surina Sehgal is a dentist on a mission to help people prevent issues with dental health, as she understands the impact of the oral microbiome on the whole body. In this episode, I quiz Surina on the best ways to support good oral health, why it's so important, and practical measures we can take for ourselves, including diet and what dental products we should consider, including toothpaste. It was fascinating learning from Surina, and I hope you find this episode helpful.

Clemmie Oliver founded the Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine Clinic in 2018 where she works internationally with people with Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis helping them improve their quality of life. She has been on her own journey with IBD having been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis aged 9. Aged 11 she had lifesaving surgery and lived with an ileostomy bag until the age of 18. She continued to suffer for years with debilitating symptoms until she discovered first-hand the hugely powerful impact that food and lifestyle changes can have on our health and quality of life. This life-changing experience inspired Clemmie to want to help others with IBD change their lives too and to help everyone understand the hugely powerful tools we have at our disposal to help us thrive.

Today's conversation is with Zoe Blaskey of the Motherkind podcast. As a self-declared 'recovering perfectionist' and transformational coach, I thought she would be the ideal person to speak to about perfectionism, a trait that I see so frequently in the clinic with the clients I work with. While perfectionism has its benefits, it can be a real blocking factor in improving relationships with food, or just getting started on a path to better health, even if both outcomes are really desired! I hope you find this episode of interest and help.

In this episode, I chat with friend and colleague Olga Bonde about how many of us pick up a range of limiting beliefs about food, and how we should live and take care of ourselves, throughout our lives. Is it correct that we label some foods 'good' while others are 'bad'? Does food need to be earned somehow, in order to be enjoyed? Are these limiting beliefs really serving us? Olga presents a new way to view things, and we cover a range of practical suggestions to step into a new way of viewing things.

Short Bio: 
Olga Bonde has a love and passion for health and food back a very long way and the past 10 years of her professional life have been firmly dedicated to it. Her approach to nutritional therapy is very much gut-centric. Having spent years of her professional life in the field of gut health, she knows too well that the gut is the queen of pretty much every single bodily system. So gut health will always be a big part of our work together, no matter what health issue or situation is addressed. She runs a clinic in London (and online) and her practice is free of preaching and judging. She sticks to what`s real, pragmatic and doable in every personal set of circumstances. Using her professional expertise, she will help people find a way of eating that really works for themselves and their bodies.  And last but definitely not least, on top of her health/nutrition qualifications and credentials (Diploma of College of Naturopathic Medicine, mNNA, mGNC), she is also a classically trained Le Cordon Bleu chef.
