In this week's episode I'm joined by fellow Nutritional Therapist, Alex Manos. Alex is a very, very highly regarded practitioner in the UK and he holds numerous degrees and qualifications, among them a BSc in Nutritional Therapy, an MSc in Personalised Nutrition and he is a member of the Institute for Functional Medicine - and we're talking all about gut health...but not as you know it.
I’d been waiting and waiting to do a dedicated episode on gut heath on my podcast, and when Alex agreed to be a guest I was beyond excited to finally talk all things gut bacteria, the microbiome, SIBO, oral microbiome and so much more.
We start our discussion off with how important it is to look after your dental hygiene because yes, you’ve guessed it, your oral microbiome is linked to your gut microbiome and both need to be in tip top condition for things to work smoothly. We then go on to talk about SIBO, Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth, which is what I suffered from multiple times myself and what lead me down the path of finally healing my body from chronic illness and becoming a Nutritional Therapist.
We also discuss probiotics and why you don’t need to take them every morning like that influencer you saw shotting Symprove on their stories, we discuss the importance of diet and what to do if you find you can’t tolerate grains and legumes, we discuss antimicrobials, the gut Brian axis and so much more.
This is a MUST LISTEN episode if you want to upgrade your health. Huge thanks to Alex for sharing his wisdom and knowledge with me and I hope you leave the episode feeling empowered and ready to take your health to the next level.
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.

Lysander Bickham: The 16 year old CEO

My guest for today's episode is the amazing 16 year old entrepreneur Lysander Bickham. Lysander is the founder of Leo’s Box - and eco friendly subscription box that’s filled with either home or beauty products and is delivered monthly to your door.
Concerned with the plight of our planet, Lysander decided to start a business that offers a more sustainable choice to consumers. I was lucky enough to try one of the beauty boxes and had some lovely natural soaps, a biodegradable sponge, natural coconut oil make-up remover and some natural deodorant.
I think it’s amazing that Lysander has taken something he’s really concerned about and turned it into a business at the tender age of 16. In this episode we talk a lot about why he’s done it, his concerns for the future, the school system and sustainability and how he naively thought that starting a business would be easy.
He chooses what products go into his subscription boxes extremely carefully and if you’re at all interested in giving one a go then please do check out leosbox.co.uk

Amy Selvin: What's Wrong With Yoga

Hello and Welcome back to State of Mind, I’m Grace Kingswell and I’m a Nutritional Therapist, cold water swimmer, Auricular Acupuncturist and Breathwork coach, and this is my podcast series all about health, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, sustainability and so much more.
Today I’m talking to Amy Selvin of Flow Motion Yoga. Amy started her career as an osteopath, which she didn’t like, then retrained as a yoga instructor, which she didn’t like, and so now she teaches a method she’s developed that incorporates animal movement and parkour into a challenging yoga flow!
Amy has some pretty challenging opinions on life and the world at large, and she’s not afraid to speak her mind on the perhaps quite prescriptive nature of the yoga practice we all know and love so much.
This is a great episode for anyone wanting to learn more about movement and how to use and move our bodies to their full potential. We also filmed a morning mobility sequence together which you can find on my IGTV.
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.
