    S2 E18: Jo Tytherleigh

    Hi, Kirsten Chick here, nutritional therapist and author of Nutrition Brought to Life. In this final episode of series 2, I'm chatting with market gardener, chef and yoga teacher Jo Tytherleigh, who brings nutrition to life in so many ways. We talk about very local produce, modern market gardening, living with a gentle footprint and the healing power of nature. Jo describes the benefits of eating freshly picked food, what to grow on a windowsill, and the wonderful Field to Fork workshops she runs, and the tiny house you can stay at on the wondrous Harewood Farm. Along the way, Jo mentions wild garlic, broad beans, runner beans, chickpeas, hay meadows, Tamar Grow Local, the Open Food Network, the Tamara Landscape Partnership and Trevi House women's shelter. Thank you for listening and sharing - and if you subrscribe, you'll be notified when Series 3 starts up again. Kirsten Chick kirstenchick.com Apologies if you tried to listen to this before and it didn't work - I had a podcast fail! But I've re-edited it and reuploaded it, so hopefully you're good to go now.

    S2 E17: Richard Smart

    Hi everyone, Kirsten Chick here, nutritional therapist and author of Nutrition Brought to Life. In series 2 of this podcast, I am chatting with other people who bring nutrition to life. Today's guest has brought nutrition to his own life in quite an inspiring way. Richard Smart was diagnosed with cancer in 2019, and it hasn't played out quite how he expected. Richard explains what he has learnt, why he has decided to follow a ketogenic diet, how he manages that and the benefits it's brought. This is a special extended episode at about half an hour - so a bigger bite than usual, but still accessible and to the point. Richard suggested I tell you this is because I couldn't shut him up! The truth is, he's a fascinating man and a joy to listen to, and there was a really great flow that i didn't want to interrupt. Richard mentioned a number of books including Radical Remission and How to Starve Cancer, as well as the work of Dominic D'Agostino.

    Hi everyone, Kirsten Chick here, nutritional therapist and author of Nutrition Brought to Life. Series 2 has so far brought you practical episodes with tips on things like breakfasts, snacking and mindful eating, alongside chats with other people who bring nutrition to life. Today I'm chatting with medical herbalist Jessie Martelhof, who is camping in a sunny field in Devon and has found a spot with wifi to make this possible. Jessie talks us through her approach, and explains some of the benefits of using herbs in tinctures, teas, lotions and cooking. And we discuss using local herbs vs. exotic imports. Stay tuned for part 2 where Jessie shares some fantastic, seasonal tips and talks about her Wild Medicine Walks.

    S2 E14: Snacks and Choices

    Hi everyone, Kirsten Chick here, nutritional therapist and author of Nutrition Brought to Life. Thanks for bearing with me while I’ve been away, and I hope you enjoyed the encore episodes I posted on Nourishing Ourselves and Mindful Mouthfuls – which are important backgrounds to today’s theme of snacks and choices. A few weeks ago I recorded an episode all about breakfasts, and today’s is about snacks – breakfasts and snacks are the 2 things people I work with seem to need the most help with. With snacks, some want healthier snack ideas, and some want to reduce their snacking. I’m going to address both today.  Thanks for listening, subscribing and sharing, Kirsten Chick

    S2 E11 Mitchie Alexander pt.2

    The Nutrition Brought to Life Podcast Series 1 was all about my book of the same name - in Series 2 I have the wonderful opportunity to chat with other people who bring nutrition to life. This is part 2 of my chat with Mitchie Alexander from Brighton Grub Hub, a brilliant project that brings fresh, organic produce to households who wouldn't usually have access to it. In this episode, Mitchie talks more about the organic plot she runs, how she got into gardening, and what the volunteers bring and get out of the project. Brighton Grub Hub are actively recruiting new volunteers, so if your ears are pricking up, you can also find out how to get involved. Mitchie also shares some wonderful tips for growing your own veg, including the No Dig method. Brighton Grub Hub is part of Stanmer Organics, who are having an Open Day on Sat 23rd July 2022 from 11am. It's a free event, but you can help crowd fund it here. Thanks for listening - please subscribe, tell everyone you know, and have a wonderful day, Kirsten Chick kirstenchick.com
