    A Raw Food Manifesto with Axay Shah (The Raw Food Guru)

    Who is Axay Shah?Known as the Raw Food Guru. Axay Shah is the Founder of Raw Foodiest and brings over 16 years living 100% plant-based raw, with 21 years of personal medical documentation showing full reversal of prediabetes, normalized liver function, zero medications, and no chronic diseases at the age of 67. He is also training for his eighth marathon. His journey has shown that rebuilding health from the ground up is possible, even for those who have tried countless approaches without lasting change. Over the past 21 years, he has kept detailed medical records documenting how raw, nature-aligned food reversed his prediabetes and brought him to a point where, at 67, he has the energy and stamina to train for marathons and maintain excellent blood work without any medications. His approach is grounded in what he calls the Energy System Dysfunction framework, examining why so many people struggle with food addiction and chronic disease, while offering a nature-aligned path to lasting vitality. Axay now leads a global community of over 5,200 engaged members, with an active YouTube channel (208+ videos), blog (150+ posts), monthly wellness webinars, and coaching that moves people from awareness to mastery using his SEED, SPROUT and BLOOM system. His upcoming book, In Nature We Trust, launches in March 2026. It became a #1 Amazon Hot New Release in Vegan Diets and has been accepted into the Library of Congress. If you are seeking down-to-earth strategies and a relatable, transparent case of transformation, Axay brings both lived experience and practical solutions grounded in evidence rather than inspiration alone. Axay talks about…My recent work as Founder of Raw Foodiest has focused on showing that radical transformation is possible at any age through both documented evidence and practical strategies. At 67, I live medication free and have optimal blood markers, all while training for my next marathon. I share my own journey, together with the repeatable system my community uses to restore energy and reverse chronic issues. With more than 5,200 community members, monthly wellness webinars, and content viewed by thousands across YouTube, newsletters and social platforms, I’m continually inspired by health professionals looking for more than wishful thinking. They want proof and actionable change. My book, In Nature We Trust, together with the SEED, SPROUT, BLOOM framework, has helped many move from theory to long-term results in raw food living.

    Fostering Your Relationships At Work And Home With Cathie Gregg

    Who is Cathie Gregg?Cathie teaches us how to have a healthy relationship. My first career was as an Army Officer, training soldiers and officers in a variety of skills including military subjects, languages, presentation techniques and management. My second career was running a language training business in France, where we now live. My third career has been to deliver management and leadership training courses, along with team training and customer service courses (including conflict management training and mentoring in a variety of businesses and charities, in UK and France, but mainly in veterinary practices. I like to work in small to medium businesses, where the kind of training I do reflects the values of the leadership perhaps more than in a corporate environment. Every training course I run contains an element of an idea called the 5 Love Languages, from a book written decades ago by American psychologist and family therapist Gary Chapman. In a business environment, it is applied as “languages of appreciation” , which has been systemised as business training, very successfully by Dr Chapman, working with business consultant Dr Paul White. With my professional head on I use this training to build teams and to reduce conflicts and toxic atmospheres at work, and to enhance management of personnel to improve performance – it is incredibly effective at increasing productivity, cooperation and reducing staff turn-over. But my private mission is to give people one single, powerful tool to improve ALL their relationships, which I think has a huge effect on health, well-being and resilience. I have seen some wonderful effects after 2 days of training – people talking to their mother or father after years of estrangement, couples deciding not to split up, colleagues who have hated each other becoming friends – and this on a work team-training course! I love the fact that it provides a holistic approach to work AND family and social relationships. Cathie talks about how to have a healthy relationship:The idea of love languages Why it is so awesome for your health. How it enhances every human relationship and feeds into a sense of well-being in a virtuous circle, and how a lack of understanding of this mechanism of the human psyche can be devastating when it goes wrong. How to discern the love languages of those around you – and your own. A few examples of how to apply this knowledge in a personal and a work context. Contact Cathie –Website www.gregglangues.com Email glcm74.ukfr@gmail.com What are the 5 love languages by Dr. Gary Chapman: https://5lovelanguages.com/learn I run workshops, rather than lecturing and I am very happy to train trainers to do what I do. I would encourage people to get Gary Chapman’s books – he has written a number of versions, for couples, children, teenagers (extremely useful!) application in the workplace, and one specifically for men. Dr Paul White has a website called appreciationatwork.com, where there are lots of resources for organisations and businesses. I tailor-make my training to any business, charity or school that I work with, so that it is part training, part consultancy; which I find more effective than a generic package – and we have fun too. There’s lots of laughter at our workshops, which opens the heart and mind to change in a remarkable way. The training is open to individuals and families as well, though I must stress I am not a family counsellor. Rather I treat the couple or family as a team, working out how to enhance their common life. Talks are hosted by Althea Finch at The PainFree Method, how to be pain free by tuning into you.

    Foraging for Gut Health with Rachel Robertson

    Who is Rachel Robertson?Fifteen years ago, my own health struggles, those of my family and reading the book ‘Deschooling Society’ were catalysts in embarking on a self-reliance journey to reclaim power over food, my family’s health and my children’s education. I trained as a naturopathic nutritionist in 2019 and now specialise in gut health, drawing especially on ancestral nutrition and traditional Western herbalism. I manage a busy practice in Brighton, incorporating colonic hydrotherapy into my gut-healing protocols. I offer programmes in person and remotely and run regular online group gut reset programmes. I have been leading foraging workshops since 2020, covering areas such as foraging for food and medicine in survival contexts, foraging for gut health and bespoke foraging events. I’m involved as a parent and foraging teacher at HOPE Sussex Freedom Home Education Hub, where I also co-created a thriving vegetable and medicinal herb garden. I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with traditional skills and empowering them to take back control of their health. Rachel talks about…I will be explaining the main pillars of good gut health, how to tell if things aren’t working well and how to nourish and heal your gut, matching herbs you can find outside your front door to what your gut actually needs.

    Natural Wellbeing – Brand Zero with Sasha Evans

    Who is Sasha Evans?My name is Sasha and I run Brand Zero, a small natural wellbeing business based in the heart of Gloucestershire. I was influenced from an early age by my mother who didn’t agree with doctors, instead she was totally into natural ways. My natural products can be as effective as commonly prescribed pharmaceuticals for a range of ailments. The advantage is that they are completely non toxic with no side effects. I’m inspired and motivated by finding new ways to help people overcome chronic pain, inflammation, depression, anxiety, and so on, without resorting to prescribed medication. Knowledge is freedom and power, and my aim is to help people take their health and wellbeing into their own hands by showing them how much they can achieve with the things that are available to us naturally. It’s an incredibly exciting field and it teaches me new things every day. Brand Zero was founded in early 2020, in response to the growing problem of plastic waste and unnecessary packaging, as well as the harmful ingredients found in so many modern skincare and wellbeing products. I’ve long made creams and essential oil blends for friends and family. During the lockdown, people were experiencing terrible skin problems from increased hand washing and sanitisers. Hospitals were appealing for people to donate hand creams to the staff. I created a fundraiser to supply pots of my soothing beeswax balms to over 1,000 nurses and carers across the Stroud area, and in the process Brand Zero was born. Since then, the range has grown to include massage oils, bath oils, shampoo bars, aromatherapy oils, organic handmade soaps – in real life the shop smells incredible! Sasha talks about:How Brand Zero began and the journey it’s taken me.Natural WellbeingThe Natural First Aid Toolkit Contact Sasha:Website www.brandzeronaturals.co.uk Email brandzeronaturals@gmail.com Special offer for PainFree listeners – Buy the The Natural First Aid Toolkit for £60 instead of £68 Talks are hosted by Althea Finch at The PainFree Method, how to be pain free by tuning into you.

    Addiction Isn’t A Dirty Word with Bash Bashford

    Who is Bash Bashford?Bash Bashford knows addiction inside out. After a trauma-filled childhood and 25 years of deep addiction, he has now celebrated 18 years of recovery. For the past 6 years, he’s been dedicated to supporting others through their own struggles with addiction using a powerful programme that’s already changing lives—and will soon be shared in his upcoming book. I (currently) don’t believe there is a cure for addiction but I do believe that addiction can be put into remission and will stay there, all the while you have a daily, active, fun and sustainable recovery plan in place. In this talk,Bash opens up about the real root causes of addiction and the common misunderstandings that keep recovery rates low. He’ll also share why meditation, journaling, and exercise are such powerful tools for keeping addiction in remission, along with insights into metacognition and how to truly change thought patterns. You’ll also hear about the 6 stages of the addiction cycle—from pre-contemplation to recycling—and discover practical ways to move forward at any stage.
