STATE OF MIND

Hello and welcome to STATE OF MIND. I’m Grace Kingswell, I’m a Nutritional Therapist and Lifestyle Medicine Advocate and this is my series all about health, mental wellbeing, state of mind, the environment, creating sustainable practices and finding true connection with yourself, those around you and with nature.  In this first episode of STATE OF MIND we're talking to Aimee Fuller, Olympic snowboarder, fitness freak, yogi and all round health hero. We discuss the ups and downs of competing, her coffee addiction, love of healthy food and how movement is her medicine. We found out what State of Mind means to Aimee, but what does it mean to you?    @aimee_fuller @gracekingswell

Hello and welcome to STATE OF MIND.

In this episode I'm chatting to the amazing Jade Joselyn about the world of Bikini Competing, body positivity, balancing nutrition with aesthetic goals and how happiness is a choice and not something we passively receive. I found out what STATE OF MIND means to Jade, but what does it mean to you?    @jadejoselyn @gracekingswell

Cait Mizzi CNP is a Certified Nutritional Practitioner and she works functionally, which is a term you may have heard me throw around a lot on this podcast before. Essentially, she works with an evidence-based, yet natural approach to obtaining and maintaining good health. Instead of focusing on a singular system or body part, or even a single approach or cure, Cait will evaluate your complete health history, current lifestyle, emotional state and dietary habits to get to the root cause of your health concerns. As you’ll hear from this episode, Cait is an incredibly knowledgeable practitioner and we do go quite in depth on a number of topics like veganism and the ketogenic diet. One thing we do talk a lot about in this episode is vegan diets and the Game Changers film, and if you watched that film and immediately reevaluated the way you eat then I urge you to listen through to the end of this episode because it’s incredibly important. As ever, if you enjoy this episode I would be beyond grateful if you could help me to spread the word about state of mind by sharing the episode to your instagram stories and writing me a rave review on the apple podcasts app. @caitmizzi @gracekingswell

Liv Kaplan is a Sydney based Nutritionist and foodie with a huge passion for baking. In this episode Liv explains why she lives a low sugar lifestyle and the surprising effects it can have on our mood and our happiness levels, in fact, her journey to health began when she noticed a difference in her incidence of depression when she switched up her diet. We also discuss why Liv doesn't agree with the typical definition of depression... The topic of mood, depression and anxiety is one that we touch on a lot in this episode. So many people are suffering with anxiety these days and it can often be linked to poor blood sugar regulation and not having the correct nutrients to fuel our brains properly - namely omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids, something that's hard to come by on a vegan diet or an omnivorous diet lacking in nutrients.    As ever, if you enjoy this episode I would be beyond grateful if you could help me to spread the word about STATE OF MIND by sharing the episode to your Instagram stories and writing me a rave review on the apple podcasts app. @liv.kaplan @gracekingswell www.gracekingswell.com

Welcome to a brand new miniseries of my podcast: ARE YOU COPING?    I wanted to put something out in times of Corona to help, inspire, encourage and support you all during Lockdown. The episodes will be super short and every guest will be asked the same questions surrounding their routine and how it's changed, what they've learnt about themselves since lockdown, food that that's saving them and so much more.    The goal is laughs, comfort, comment and insight - and I hope it helps you.    Cat Sarsfield is a writer and works for a content and tone of voice agency in London. She's a serious foodie and has an epic newsletter called 'Since No One Asked,' in which she shares witty, pertinent and tantalisingly millennial food tips and advice, recipe and shopping lists with her hundreds of subscribers.    I urge you to check it out!    @catsarsfield @gracekingswell

If you didn’t catch the last episode with at Sarsfield then do go have a listen to that for the ultimate foodie chat, predominantly about pasta and parmesan, lock down coping mechanisms and lots of laughs.   Today my guest is Chris Baker, co-founder of weMove magazine, a project that was founded with the goal to explore what movement means and how it changes our lives. Chris is a photographer by trade but also a passionate breath work and ice bath lover, nature seeker and adventurer. The weMove podcast has taken him all over the world meeting the most incredible people seeking connection, movement and knowledge.   In this episode I ask Chris what’s keeping him going in lockdown, what he’s learnt about himself and what food he absolutely cannot live without right now.   Please do subscribe to STATE OF MIND if you haven’t already, and enjoy this episode of “Are You Coping?”   Grace xx   @gracekingswell gracekingswell.com wemove.world @_christopherbaker

Welcome back to another episode of the Lockdown series 'ARE YOU COPING?'    'ARE YOU COPING?' is a miniseries, a sub-section if you will, of STATE OF MIND (my main Pod).    In this mini series I'm asking my guest the same few questions on things they're learned about themselves since Locky D, what meals and recipes they're living for, how their daily routines have changed etc.    It's fun, it's lighthearted and it's designed to lift the spirits with lots of laughs!    Today's guest is the wonderful Serena Louth, reflexologist, Holistic Wellness Coach and Reiki Practitioner. She's also a foodie, podcast host and all round dreamboat. We giggled so much in this episode and Serena decided that if she were marooned on a desert island she's need a penknife so she could make piña coladas. Ever the practical one!    If you enjoy then please PLEASE do rate, review and subscribe! It will make my day =)   @gracekingswell gracekingswell.com @serenalouth serenalouth.com

In this episode of 'Are You Coping?' a subsection of my main podcast, STATE OF MIND, I'm talking to Deyá Ward - an Orangutan specialist, researcher, contributor to Seven Worlds One Planet and a fellow cold water swimmer.  Deyá has some lovely tales of lockdown life and how her newly found love for spending all her days barefoot has gone someway to replacing the connection she gets from a cold water swim, something she's not been able to do much of at the moment.    If you enjoy the episode then I would be so grateful if you would support me on Patreon!  The link is in my instagram bio to become a subscriber and in exchange you'll get SO much health content, live Q&A chats with me, breathwork videos and recipes - all for the price of a couple of coffees a month. ⁣   https://www.patreon.com/gracekingswell @deyaward @gracekingswell

Welcome back to "Are You Coping?" a mini series consisting of 5 short episodes with 5 awesome guests about life in lockdown. The aim of the series is to provide you with lols, inspiration and escapism - and today's guest is no different!   Lucy Burke, of super trendy jewellery company Margot & Mila, is a jewellery designer and maker recently relocated from London to Frome in Somerset.   In this episode we chat about how Lucy got into making jewellery, what it's been like making the leap out of London, how lockdown has affected her family and the food she can't cope with at the moment (it's REALLY not what you think!)    Lucy's jewellery is amazing, in fact, she helped me redesign my engagement ring and I'm never without some Margot & Mila hoops in my ears.    www.margotandmila.com @margotandmila @gracekingswell gracekingswell.com

Hello and welcome back to STATE OF MIND hosted by Nutritional Therapist, Grace Kingswell.    Today's guest is Mehlaqa Khan; dentist, periodontal specialist and follower of nutritional therapy and functional medicine principles. She takes an innovative 360 degree approach to her dental patients, incorporating the functional medicine principles of systemic health.   In this epidote we’re talking about the oral microbiome and why it’s the number one step to maintaining good health overall. Your mouth is your first line of defence against invading pathogens and signals are sent from the mouth to the rest of the immune system when something enters that is potentially harmful to our health. Amazing!   The amount of knowledge in this episode is so incredible, you’ll learn why mouthwash isn’t the best way to look after your oral health, the difference that oral probiotics can make to periodontal disease, how gum disease occurs and why, and how leaky MOUTH is the first step on the road to leaky GUT.    We also discuss which toothpastes to buy, whether oil pulling and tongue scraping are 'woo woo' or scientifically sound, whether manual toothbrushes need to be a thing of the past and so much more...    Do share this episode to your insta stories if you enjoy it, and leave a review on the podcast app!    @gracekingswell @drmehlaqa @thgumguide  

Welcome back to State of Mind! Today we're covering the clinical application of Hypnotherapy in the management of IBS symptoms with the wonderful Kate Dimmer.  I hope you find this episode helpful.    For more info get in touch @gracekingswell @katedimmernutritionandhypno 

Hello and welcome to STATE OF MIND. I’m Grace Kingswell, I’m a Nutritional Therapist and Lifestyle Medicine Advocate and this is my series all about health, mental wellbeing, state of mind, the environment, creating sustainable practices and finding true connection with yourself, those around you and with nature. In this episode I'm chatting to the amazing Rosie Fortescue. Rosie came to fame on reality TV show Made in Chelsea but has since launched a successful jewellery brand and a career that is so much more than just a TV show. From being trolled for being too pale and learning to care less, to her struggles with her gut health, Rosie's journey so far has been fascinating and she talks openly about the difficulties she's faced along the way.  @gracekingswell

Hello and welcome to STATE OF MIND. I’m Grace Kingswell, I’m a Nutritional Therapist and Lifestyle Medicine Advocate and this is my series all about health, mental wellbeing, state of mind, the environment, creating sustainable practices and finding true connection with yourself, those around you and with nature. Tyrone Brennand is a personal trainer and creator of Be The Fittest. Tyrone tells us his story of becoming obsessed with martial arts, discovering yoga and how much movement meant to him at a young age and still does. He has a young family and we chat extensively about how hard it can be to strike the right work-life balance and how he felt when his young daughter described him as "Daddy's always working." Ty started off in life in very different circumstances to how he lives now, and this episode is a great reminder of how much hard work it takes to get to where you want to be. We found out what STATE OF MIND means to Ty, but what does it mean to you?   @bethefittest @gracekingswell

Hello and welcome to STATE OF MIND.

Wow! Did you know singer Tallia Storm was discovered by Sir Elton John?! This blows my mind. Tallia tells us this story and many others in this episode. We discuss how hard it is to navigate the world of wellness and the latest diet trends, what it's been like growing up in the public spotlight, her music career and what it's like being a self-published artist and of course, what STATE OF MIND means to her.    @talliastorm @gracekingswell

Hello and welcome to STATE OF MIND. I’m Grace Kingswell, I’m a Nutritional Therapist and Lifestyle Medicine Advocate and this is my series all about health, mental wellbeing, state of mind, the environment, creating sustainable practices and finding true connection with yourself, those around you and with nature.   Wow! What an episode; this girl is SO wise. I learnt a lot talking to Heloise about life, love, tragedy and loss; and all round health and nutrition. For someone of such a tender young age, she certainly has lived through a lot and has used her experiences to positively influence the way she lives her life now.  Heloise is a French model, nutrition student and is currently at university studying fashion marketing. She's also pretty well know for dating a certain famous face and we discuss how this romance has had a positive influence on her relationship with food. We also talk about what motivates her, what she's passionate about and why French women really just don't give a sh*t!  There are some hilarious moments and some really beautiful and poignant ones too; I hope you enjoy this episode and find it useful and valuable to you in your life!   @heloiseagostinelli @gracekingswell

Hello and welcome to STATE OF MIND. I’m Grace Kingswell, I’m a Nutritional Therapist and Lifestyle Medicine Advocate and this is my series all about health, mental wellbeing, state of mind, the environment, creating sustainable practices and finding true connection with yourself, those around you and with nature. Caroline Deisler is a model turned Instagrammer and she’s been a passionate Vegan for 4 years and was vegetarian before that. The reason I wanted to get Caroline on the podcast is because being a trainee nutritionist myself and a passionate foodie, I am fascinated by what people eat. By most people’s standards Caroline’s lifestyle and her food choices are very extreme, although the more and more she talks about it the more normal it feels. As you’ll hear in this episode Caroline is basically a Fruitarian although she does deviate from her fruity faves at dinnertime when she cooks a big veggie meal. I was keen to know how she sustains this type of lifestyle, not only for herself but for those around her; how does it work alongside her non-vegan fiancée or when she’s travelling and socialising? There are all things we cover in this episode along with some more less-talked about topics like colonic irrigation and cryo therapy. I found out what STATE OF MIND means to Caroline, but what does it mean to you? @carolinedeisler @gracekingswell

Hello and welcome to STATE OF MIND. I’m Grace Kingswell, I’m a Nutritional Therapist and Lifestyle Medicine Advocate and this is my series all about health, mental wellbeing, state of mind, the environment, creating sustainable practices and finding true connection with yourself, those around you and with nature. Tori is the founder of TBalance, a holistic health coaching service that helps people find their way in life by focusing on 5 pillars: relationships, careers, food, spirituality and exercise. Tori is the most calming and uplifting person that I know. I always feel really at peace whenever I see her and this really comes across in this episode; listening to her talk about how we all need to love ourselves a bit more and not get so hung up on what we think we should be doing or feeling is refreshing and so necessary. We chat everything from chakra healing, using crystals, changes in our subtle energies, why as women we shouldn't feel that we have to be hitting the gym, and Tori's love of a good cheeseboard...   @tabalance_ @gracekingswell

Hello and welcome to STATE OF MIND. I’m Grace Kingswell, I’m a Nutritional Therapist and Lifestyle Medicine Advocate and this is my series all about health, mental wellbeing, state of mind, the environment, creating sustainable practices and finding true connection with yourself, those around you and with nature. Get ready to learn a LOT from this episode. Ryan, a.k.a the man behind the incredible Instagram account @livevitae, is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to all things nutrition, cold therapy, blue light, sleep cycles and mindset. His view on health is so refreshing and I particularly love the part of this episode when we talk about how the most important source of data when it comes to your health isn't the latest evidence based study; it's you, your body, and how YOU feel. If something works for you, like drinking celery juice for example...then go on and do it! We also discuss one of my favourite subjects; cold water therapy and our circadian rhythm and how we can support this in a world that bombards us 24/7 with artificial blue light. LiveVitae means live life, and that is what Ryan does in a way that's 100% unique to him.  @livevitae @gracekingswell

Hello and welcome to STATE OF MIND. I’m Grace Kingswell, I’m a Nutritional Therapist and Lifestyle Medicine Advocate and this is my series all about health, mental wellbeing, state of mind, the environment, creating sustainable practices and finding true connection with yourself, those around you and with nature. Tim is the founder of plant based cafe chain, CPRESS. We talk in this episode a little bit about building the CPRESS brand and starting a company from the ground up and what that entails; for example Tim let's us know that he hasn't really exercised in over a year, that he receives hundreds of emails a day but that he still makes conscious and measured decisions every day about what he puts into his body.  We discuss his blueberry muffin addiction when he still worked in private equity before he started CPRESS (his story telling is on point and it's pretty funny!), and how adopting a dairy and gluten free approach to food really revolutionised his life and his health.  Tim has a lot of insight into some pretty niche topics that I throw at him, and he even indulges us in that youtube favourite; What I Eat In A Day.    @gracekingswell @cpressjuice  

Welcome to Series 2 of STATE OF MIND, and to my first Sound Bite of the series (see what I did there?!). This series I will be interspersing longer form interviews with short, snappy Sound Bites on nutrition and lifestyle, hot topics in wellness and giving you guys a bit more insight into my STATE OF MIND.  In this short episode I talk about how we all need to tune into our bodies a bit more and I use the example of the Celery Juice craze to do this.  As ever, please share and rate the podcast, it means so much!
