Mindset Unfiltered by Alexandra Legouix Mindset Unfiltered by Alex Legouix

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!
.
Minna Wood is a BANT registered nutrition and lifestyle medicine practitioner, a mindset coach, a bit of a gut health detective and a healthy foodie!

Her nutrition and coaching clinic MetaWell is based in Bracknell. 

She helps clients with chronic symptoms, particularly gut symptoms, low mood, low energy, autoimmune conditions and menopausal symptoms. On top of her one-to-one clinic work and healthy cooking sessions, she also facilitates the Food and Mood course at Stepping Stones Bracknell and has ran Nutrition for Long Covid sessions with NHS long covid patients.

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.

For years, Jessie Asya Kanzer felt like a failure, unable to “make it,” either as an actress or in the rat race. Her childhood as a Russian immigrant in post-Cold War America heightened her insecurity and threatened her identity, desperate as she was to fit into a culture that was alien at best and hostile at worst. 
.
This loss and eventual reclamation of her sense of self sent her on a more spiritual path during which she discovered the Tao Te Ching, which changed everything for her. 
.
The Tao taught her that there was power in stillness, and that all struggles come bearing gifts if you know how to recognize them.
.
We cover so much from: how to tap into and trust your intuition; how the Tao can cure you of perfectionism and people-pleasing tendencies; why it’s important to continue to embrace stillness, even amidst a push to return to “normal” following the pandemic; and so much more... reminding us that there’s power in slowing down. 
.
Her book "Don’t Just Sit There, Do Nothing" offers practical, actionable insights on incorporating its wisdom into your everyday life

My guest today is Ione Butler - a British film, television and voiceover actress based in New Mexico and LA. She has worked on a number of feature films including Marvel’s Black Widow and has guest-starred in hit TV shows on CBS, Spike TV, TLC and the BBC. 


.
Ione has been through some extremely dark times in the past and everything she watched, read or listened to made her feel sad, angry, hopeless or depressed. She would spend hours searching for something to watch that would make her feel better but rarely succeeded. So, alongside her acting career she founded “Uplifting Content,” a social media platform, podcast and blog that grew to epic proportions rapidly and now has an audience of over 1.5 million people. Designed to uplift and inspire those with depression and anxiety  she creates and shares positive, heart warming video content, blog posts and interviews prominent, inspiring individuals. 


.
As a result of her channels success, she created a wonderful book called "Uplifting Stories" - a collection of inspirational true tales that inspire people to take action.


.
Ione is a wonderful, generous, inspirational woman and I am delighted that you are getting to enjoy her company too.

S6 Ep9: Mandy Hickson: former RAF Fast Jet pilot & author on overcoming failure, battling imposter syndrome and how to take self belief to new heights
.
My guest today was only the second female ever to fly a Tornado GR4 on the front line.  She pioneered the movement of women into the RAF.  Most of her very remarkable career was spent as the only female air crew throughout 45 missions over Iraq and three duty tours evidence some serious mental resilience, immense bravery and mega attitude
.
Our chat lasted 1hr 20 because we were so engrossed in what we were chatting about. She's an incredibly impressive and interesting lady who I could have just chatted to for 10 more hours!! Meet Mandy Hickson
