FWP is all about Fabric, Words and Print. Fair trade and ethical sourcing is at the forefront of everything Rae does. Rae is an inspirational female founder and it is a pleasure to welcome her to the podcast today.  Today in the conversation we explore: - How co-owning a small independent wine company turned into a full-fledged clothing brand?   - Your mission is to create “stylish products that are ethically produced, sustainable and affordable” How do you ensure that you remain consistent with this mission in your product development and business decisions?   -What was the moment when you knew it was time to launch, imperfectly, and how did customer feedback shape your next steps?   - What personal values or life experiences most shaped your decision to start an ethical clothing brand, and how do those values influence the way you run your business today?   - International Womens Day/Month is about female founders. What advice would you give aspiring founders, especially those juggling family or full-time roles like you, that helped you launch and sustain a business?   - How do you manage to juggle family life and a busy, expanding business? Do you have any non-negotiables that make it work for you?   - Both FWP by Rae and Nourish have grown while staying committed to our values.

Over three decades later, Green People continues to lead the organic beauty movement with innovative botanical formulations and a strong commitment to sustainability. In this conversation we explore the fundamentals of skincare - why it’s important, how the body absorbs topical products, and what to consider when selecting items from the shelf. Whether you're building a routine or refining an existing one, this conversation offers practical insights to help you make informed decisions for healthier skin, and avoiding toxicity. Join us as we explore Charlotte’s journey, her insights into skincare, and the future of organic beauty.

    18. Understanding Mitochondrial health and why it's a hot topic for 2025 With Dr Wolfgang Brysch

    This week on episode 18 of Nourishing Lives Ineke is chatting with Dr Wolfgang Brysch and digging into the mighty Mitochondria. Dr. Brysch has an impressive academic background. He studied computer science in the USA, as well as medicine in Göttingen and Cambridge (UK). He earned his Ph.D. in neurobiology at the renowned Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry (equivalent to Francis Crick Institute in the UK), where he also led a research group in molecular neuro- and tumour biology for several years. But that's not all. As a co-founder of several biotech companies, Dr. Brysch repeatedly came across scientific studies on the positive effects of secondary plant compounds on our metabolism. What began with initial scepticism has now become his firm belief: natural substances should play an important role alongside and as a complement to standard medicine. Dr. Brysch now pursues this passion professionally as the co-founder of iüLabs, an innovative supplement start-up – the only one with SoluSmart®, a technology for better intestinal absorption of plant compounds. Their best-selling supplement iüVitalizer, supports energy, focus and cognition – 'we have a number of customers who take it to help with their fatigue, as well as those juggling numerous demands of the day and need that extra boost use code NOURISH20 to purchase with us, or sign up to our waiting list if you are not based in the UK, on www.iulabs.co' Tell us about how iüLabs started Mitochondrial health is so important for overall health, tell me a little more about the mitochondria and its importance to energy Speaking of energy and Mitochondria, what are some of the typical chronic diseases or conditions we are seeing which are linked to the Mitochondria Environmental health is becoming more popular in the media and general conversation, in your experience what is the impact of toxins in our everyday food and water intake as well as body products and other things we might buy upon our Mitochondria. Cancer and ADHD has been linked to Mitochondrial Health, what in your experience have you seen to be the relationship between the two.
