Nourishing Lives Nourish - grow, cook, enjoy

In this 13th episode Ineke catches up with Mel Lawson. Mel is the founder of Bare Biology and mum of three and she discovered the incredible health benefits of high quality omega-3 fish oil when she researched a natural approach for her postnatal depression, anxiety and OCD. She identified a big gap in quality omega-3 supplements in the UK and decided to launch her own brand in 2013. The range of pure omega-3, marine collagen and Vitamin D has a cult following among Nutritional Therapists and health practitioners, with an estimated quarter of all sales coming from professional recommendations.



What to expect:




Mel shares her own experiences that led her to learn more about Omegas.
Is Omega 3 a low hanging fruit from a supplement perspective? And should it be part of our daily routine?
Which Omegas do we actually need?
What conditions can Omega 3 help with?
What dosage should you be looking for in Omega 3?
Women's health benefits of Omega 3 throughout their lifetime.
Understanding your own Omega 3 status and what this can mean.

This week I’m joined by long-term friend of the brand Claudine Boulstridge. We first started following Claudine on Instagram after seeing her gorgeous rainbow coloured platters, and simple, but beautiful kids snack ideas. Inventive and inspiring Claudine promotes healthy eating and the importance of getting kids engaged with the food on their plates.

For the last 15 years she has worked as Yotam Ottolenghi's recipe tester, where her work has involved trialling every recipe in his newspaper columns and cookery books (what a job!). She also spends her time creating content for her @healthyfamilyfoodideas Instagram account, teaching online workshops and developing healthy recipes for her children to cook at home.
