So I was blessed to get to sit down with the wonderful nutrition consultant and founder of MetaWell, Minna WoodShe is a walking, talking advert for what she promotes... she is the epitome of health with beautiful glossy hair, bright eyes and incredible skin! I was so envious! We discuss all things food and emotion. Minna explains how a high-sugar, high-additive, processed diet is addictive and can lead to low mood, anxiety and mental health issues. We also discuss foods that can improve moods, reduce anxiety and improve mental health conditions...and as always, so much more.

My guest today has struggled with her weight for most of her life and she truly understands just how hard it is to live with obesity. .10 years ago, Sarah Le Brocq was 24 stone. She applied to be on the show Fat: The Fight of my Life, she was selected to feature on the show and over the course of that following year she lost 8 stone and competed in various top level endurance events. However, over the subsequent few years, she regained most of the weight, despite continuing her intense training. This encouraged her to delve a little deeper and she learnt more about the complexities of obesity..Sarah is passionate about reducing weight stigma and is spending much of her time dedicated to raising the awareness of these complexities.In this chat we discuss the damage done by the labels given at childhood and through the tough years of adolescence. We discuss fad diets, fat pills, the myths around obesity and pregnancy. We talk about the desperate need for an update in knowledge and language by teachers, healthcare professionals and, well, just about everyone else too really.... and, as always, so much more..This raw, honest conversation is so brave and I really hope it opens your eyes as much as it did mine. Obesity is a disease. For there to be changes, we all need to step up and take part like Sarah is doing. .Please do follow her on https://slebrocq.com @s_le_brocq
For years, Jessie Asya Kanzer felt like a failure, unable to “make it,” either as an actress or in the rat race. Her childhood as a Russian immigrant in post-Cold War America heightened her insecurity and threatened her identity, desperate as she was to fit into a culture that was alien at best and hostile at worst. .This loss and eventual reclamation of her sense of self sent her on a more spiritual path during which she discovered the Tao Te Ching, which changed everything for her. .The Tao taught her that there was power in stillness, and that all struggles come bearing gifts if you know how to recognize them..We cover so much from: how to tap into and trust your intuition; how the Tao can cure you of perfectionism and people-pleasing tendencies; why it’s important to continue to embrace stillness, even amidst a push to return to “normal” following the pandemic; and so much more... reminding us that there’s power in slowing down. .Her book "Don’t Just Sit There, Do Nothing" offers practical, actionable insights on incorporating its wisdom into your everyday life.#mentalstrength, #mentalattitude, #mindsetunfiltered, #mindset, #mentalhealthmatters, #healing, #jessieasyakanzer, #positivemindset, #stressrelief, #alexlegouix, #podcast, #mindsetunfilteredpodcast, #namaste

S5 E8: Former IBF World Cruiserweight Champion, Glenn McCrory - on his career; the highs and lows of boxing; the mindset of a boxer; mental health and coping with depression.Today's chat is extremely raw, emotional and open. Glenn McCrory’s boxing career was anything but smooth sailing. He reflects on his life - the highs and lows of the golden era; how he celebrated after defeating Patrick "Killer" Lumumba by unanimous decision to win the IBF World Cruiserweight title; how he coped with the aftermath of the loss against Lennox Lewis... We cover the mindset of a boxer; training; weight; what it takes to be a champion; what really happens, mentally, before, during and after a match... and he is honest, brilliantly and so bravely honest about the depression that has followed him around for much of his life like a dark mist, even more so as a result of this awful pandemic, and a darkness that is ever so present right now, today, even as we speak. We delve into that and how he copes – how he puts one step in front of the other, even on the hardest of days. This is, as always, a hugely inspirational chat.

I remember the day of the 7/7 London bombings. Normally, I would have taken the tube across london to make my way to Liverpool street where I was working in events but we had put on an event ourselves the night before and had basically decided to take the day off to recover..In a parallel universe, Martine caught the Circle line tube to work and sat just three feet away from suicide bomber Shehzad Tanweer. .The worst injured, and consequently last rescued survivor, Martine was trapped for over an hour having lost 80% of her blood supply as well as both legs above the knees. What followed was a painful year of rehabilitation including learning to walk again on prosthetics..She considers herself a lucky woman with a whole new life of opportunities. Martine has since rebuilt her life, skydived, earned her pilot’s license, become a wife, become a mother, become captain of the British Paralympic Sitting volleyball team, charity ambassador, mentor to patients, inspirational and motivational speaker and author of ‘Unbroken’, where she recounts her inspirational journey - and for what, in 2018, she won Autobiography of the Year with..Since competing for Great Britain at the London 2012 Paralympics, Martine has gone on to present high-profile sporting events on the BBC and Channel 4, including the Paralympics and Invictus Games, and was a roving reporter at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio. She won BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2012 and last year was awarded an MBE for her services to sport and work as a role model for amputee athletes..Now, while playing sport, Martine wears her lucky number 7 with pride, transforming what happened into a positive and a clear and meaningful sign of her rehabilitation, and also in memory of those who lost their lives..Please, take some time out, pause and listen to this truly incredible woman.
