Her depth of knowledge when it comes to health is astounding and In this episode we speak about how Kristin has taken the information a lot of the top male biohackers speak about, like ice baths, red ...

I speak a lot about “expanders”. In psychology, it is said that by having expanders - people who embody something we wish to become - it helps us to visualise ourselves becoming that ourselves. For years, Kelly Brogan has been one of my biggest expanders. Her journey from conventional psychiatry to holistic healing; her embodiment of the Divine Feminine; her unwavering knowing of who she is; her non-compliance with the machine that is big pharma and big tech. In this episode I get to go DEEP wit...

I was absolutely stoked to record this podcast with New York Times bestselling author and biohacking legend, Ben Greenfield. We met at the Health Optimisation Summit and got to spend time together walking around Regents Park while we recorded. Because the biohacking world is so male-dominated, I was almost jumping up and down on my seat when Ben’s talk at the summit focused less on tracking and numbers and statistics, and more about what it actually means to optimise your life - the more feminin...

I cannot tell you what a moment it was for me to interview Bruce Lipton, PhD. His book, The Biology of Belief, changed my life about 15 years ago when it taught me that the outcome of my health will be down to my beliefs, not my genes, and from there I started teaching myself how to believe myself out of illness. In this episode we discuss: Why your genes are not your destiny How you can change your life by changing your beliefs Understanding cell biology and how this plays a part BRCA gene unde...

Judgement. We all feel it, towards others, from others, towards ourselves. And yet most of us understand that it doesn’t make us feel good. Soooo…. Why do we judge? What does judgement mean? How does it affect us spiritually? How does it relate to shadow and ego? How can we move away from it and indeed, what can happen for us when we do? In this episode I go deep into the subject of judgement to help us understand the answers to all these questions, and more, to help us move away from judgement ...

I don’t often get nervous to interview guests, but having Charles Eisenstein on Reconditioned was a huge moment for me. He is, in my opinion, one of the greatest minds of our time, and his work has not only influenced my work and inspired me to be better, it has also stirred the deep inner knowing inside me that we - humanity - are doing it wrong, but that there are solutions to do life better. If you haven’t yet heard of Charles Eisenstein, I urge you to go to his Substack page and read as many...

Fertility is a topic I’ve been wanting to speak about for a while. I’m hugely passionate about getting to the bottom of health concerns and finding the missing pieces. I believe every health challenge has a cause, whether that be physical, emotional or spiritual - perhaps sometimes a culmination of all 3. In this episode I talk you through my own turbulent fertility journey, before going into the nitty gritty behind why such a staggering amount of us are struggling with fertility in the modern w...

Jo Fairley is the mind and intuitive force behind the pioneering and industry-defining organic chocolate, Green & Blacks. Due to a failed crop of peanuts that her husband, Craig Sams, was unable to use for his world-famous Whole Earth peanut butter, they were introduced to a crop of cocoa beans that Jo had the initiative to recognise as something extremely special. From that, she decided to put every penny from her flat sale into the founding of Green & Blacks, and in this episode, we sp...

In the 1960s a huge propaganda campaign ensued, with the intention of misleading people into the belief that psychedelics are dangerous. But why were people using them in the first place? Are they really dangerous? Going deeper, why are they here on Earth and what is their purpose? Shamans, sages and everyday people have been reporting access to higher levels of consciousness and deeper states of awareness, and many PTSD sufferers have reported complete trauma healing through the use of plant me...

You may know Jasmine Hemsley from her extremely popular cookbooks, the most recent one being East by West. But Jasmine is so much more than an author of cookbooks, and the reason I wanted to get her on the podcast – and the reason I enjoyed this chat so much – was because of her dedication to getting closer to nature, and her honesty about the battle between that and modern living. We discussed: Gut health Parenting as close to nature as possible The overload of information that comes with start...

Juraj is the CEO of Somavedic, a mechanism designed on the principle of controlled release of energy from precious and semi-precious stones that you simply plug in somewhere in your home, in order to ...

If you’re a woman over the age of 30, no doubt you’ve thought about menopause. If you’re approaching it, you’re no doubt worried about it, and if you’re going through it, you’re probably wondering “WHAT WISDOM!” But women’s bodies are full of wisdom. And Dr Northrup tells us how to listen to it, to make the transition into menopause less challenging. Dr Northrup answers the questions: Is HRT safe and should we be choosing this option? What are the options? Does a natural approach to menopause wo...

Udo Erasmus is most well-known for his pioneering work in the world of fats and gut health, with his eponymous supplement brand, Udo’s Choice, being one of the leaders in the world of health products and supplements. However, it’s Udo’s deep connection to, and understanding of, consciousness, that makes him the very special being he is.

A special episode to round off the season, if I do say so myself A question I get asked a lot is, "Was Daniel always conscious and into the work or did he come to it because of you?" The answer is way more nuanced than that, and my husband and I speak about it in depth in this week's episode - the last of the season and the last of the year. Because the feminine is in touch with intuition and inner knowing, women often come to inner work and holistic healing before men. In 95% of people who cont...

In episode 61 I interviewed Dr Palevsky about the C*v*d injection, and it has turned out to be the most popular and most downloaded episode of all time! In 2021 people are thirsty for knowledge and truth, and because so many of my listeners are parents with burning questions about childhood immunisations, I wanted to do an episode with Dr Palevsky (genuinely one of the most well-researched, knowledgeable people I’ve ever come across) dedicated solely to this topic. In the episode we cover: Why c...

Conscious relationships. Ever heard the term “love isn’t always enough”? My mum drummed that into me ever since I was little, and it was great advice. But it took until recently for me to really understand what it means. I believe I manifested my soul match, and a conscious person, but I didn’t manifest a conscious relationship. We had to consciously create that through the deep and often hard inner work we’ve done. From that, we created Sacred Union, or a “conscious” relationship. My friend Rai...

Where to even start. This woman is a force. A fierce, fearless warrior of light who guides so many and has helped countless women understand their bodies and step into their power. We’re in a time of great disruption. The “normalcy” and convenience of modern life has been disrupted and no one is exempt. So how can we view it through a lens that helps us see this time for what it really is, and how can those of us who are vehemently opposed to tyrannical control, continue with our lives without t...

Caspar Szulc’s story is one we’re really all aspiring to; his parents raised him with an integrative, holistic approach to wellbeing in mind, and he’s the living embodiment of the health we’re all trying to achieve for us or our own children by following this lifestyle. He’s what I hope to see in my own kids in 35 years, something many of us work towards following trauma to our health, because we DIDN’T take the measures to begin with. As a result of his upbringing and immense knowledge of healt...

How can I find my purpose? This is a question I get a lot. The answer is simple. KNOW YOURSELF.

Though the subject of vaccines might seem off-topic for those of you who follow my personal growth work, it was still important for me to offer this, because the whole point of the podcast is to bring information that you might not be able to find elsewhere; information that you might be looking for yourself, and information that I believe needs to be heard.

If you're anywhere around my age, you probably remember former Hollyoaks actress Davinia Taylor's name from the gossip columns in the '90s and '00s. She was known throughout that time as the Primrose Hill party girl who experienced all London's nightlife had to offer and more, alongside the likes of Kate Moss and Sadie Frost. What she didn’t know back then was why she was so susceptible to alcoholism and why she needed it so much, and, interestingly, why her body was able to process it so effici...
