The last episode in the first series of Wellness Unwrapped is a golden, heart-warming (and often hilarious) chat with one of the most straight-talking women I’ve ever met – the fabulously relatable Lynda Sackett.  Lynda lays bare her struggles with her husband after his heart attack; her […]

Most of us know that junk food is bad for our health. So why do we still fall victim to eating it? In this week’s episode of Wellness Unwrapped, Dr Austin Perlmutter blows the lid off the way insidious marketing and other factors in our modern environment push us to make decisions that eat away […]

We all know that exercise is fundamental to our longevity and wellbeing on every level...but lots of us are put off by the whole concept of “working out”.  That’s why I love the playful approach of my guest on this week’s episode of Wellness Unwrapped. Darryl Edwards is a movement coach, […]

We'd all love to greet each day feeling refreshed, mentally resilient and full of energy. But the reality is that most of us struggle to get the sleep our body and brain crave to work optimally. In this refreshingly candid conversation, the wonderfully wise Dr Sally Bell shares her own struggles […]

You probably have a first aid box for cuts, grazes and burns. But wouldn’t it be great to have a first aid tool for stress? Well, now you can have a tool like that - and you can draw on it any time you need it, for free. In this week’s episode, Gwyneth Moss shares an incredibly simple, quick […]

Do you ever find yourself putting more and more effort and time into whatever task you're trying to finish...but don't seem to be making progress? Do you ever find yourself using caffeine or sugar to help you "push through" energy lags and brain fog? This week, I'm sharing something that's so […]

Even before "lockdown lethargy" became a thing, most of us were suffering from an epidemic of low energy. In this episode, I share two, super-simple ways that you can transform your energy levels - from this week. I also spill the beans on what happened earlier this year when I got hit by fatigue […]

This week, I’m thinking about how hard it can be to keep promises to ourselves – and how much easier it is to follow through when we team up with someone who we can be accountable to.  If this episode strikes a chord with you, do drop me a note. You can contact me via my website or on any of […]

I’ll look back at this crisis as the time I learnt to breathe. In this episode, I share how being trained to correct my poor breathing helped me to tap into an unexpected calm amidst the crisis. Here are a some websites you might find useful for further information: […]

How often do you dwell on what’s “wrong” with you? If you’re like most of us, it’s probably pretty often. Research shows that if we take the opposite approach – ie focusing on our strengths – we become happier, more resilient and more successful. In this week’s episode, I share […]

In this week’s episode of Wellness Unwrapped, I share the bedtime habit that I wouldn’t give up for anything. At a time when so many of us are struggling with our sleep and suffering from anxiety, I hope that listening to this will inspire you to try out this habit too.  If this episode […]

In this week’s episode, I share some ways that being around greenery can slash our stress and make us feel calmer and happier. I also give you a behind-the-scenes, warts-and-all insight into how everything is NOT as rosy as it looks on Instagram or in glossy magazines. I really hope this […]

Most of us know about the damage caused to our health by air pollution…but we tend to be less aware of the invisible toxins hiding right under our own roof. Before lockdown hit, I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr Tom O’Bryan when he was over at the Birmingham Functional Forum as guest […]

In this week's episode, I share how wanting things to be mistake-free led me to some really rubbish decisions - and how I'm in constant battle with perfectionist tendencies. Does this ring a bell with you? I'd love to hear from you if so. You can contact me via my website: […]

In this latest lockdown episode of Wellness Unwrapped, I share how the corona crisis has forced me out of a rigid way of thinking and pushed me towards new possibilities.  I hope that listening to this helps you to explore what new possibilities might exist for you too. Here’s the link to the […]

Here's the latest installment of lessons I'm learning from lockdown. I share how I'm finding peace - and what I'm letting go of (and not just in the underwear department!).

In this episode, I run through how I start my day to give myself the best chance of staying calm and positive throughout the rest of the day - and provide a buffer against whatever onslaught of stressors and bad news I'll have to face. There's no better time to put into a place a morning routine […]

While we’re in this very unusual and intense time, I’m going to be recording some solo episodes to share the tools that are helping me cope with what’s happening. In the first of these, I share my number one practice which is helping me to reframe things and (mostly!) not slide into panic […]

I think we can all agree that the topic of health can get a bit, well, heavy.   Amidst all the advice on diet and exercise, we tend to overlook the role that daily doses of joy play in our health and wellbeing. That's why I'm delighted to chat to my friend and mentor Gillian Elizabeth. We talk […]

As a health coach, I've learnt that fostering hope is really effective in supporting people to change their lifestyle - much more so than scaring them or hectoring them! My guest this week is Dr Jen Unwin, a Consultant Clinical Health Psychologist who has spent her professional life interested in […]

In our crazily busy lives, most of us don’t ever pause to ask ourselves who we really are and what’s important to us. Often, we’re so caught up with trying to please everyone else that we forget completely about asking ourselves what WE want out of life. That’s why I believe that this […]

For my very first episode of Wellness Unwrapped, I’ve chosen a topic that’s very close to my heart: the body’s innate ability to heal itself. This is the podcast I wish I’d had access to 15 years ago when one of my kids was diagnosed with a chronic bowel condition and put on a […]
