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.

Alex Manos: Stop Taking Probiotics (maybe)

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.

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 Siwan Quinn Bratton, BSc(Hons), Lic.Ac., CMIR, BSS-Do (T) and Jonathan Tarr (Lic.Ac., CMIR, DCHAc., BSS-Do (T), the husband and wife duo behind the helm of the prestigious College of Auricular Acupuncture. I recently studied with them to become an auricular acupuncturist and I thought it would be an amazing opportunity to get them on the podcast to talk about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and how Eastern forms of medicine can be so useful and vital in our Western world.
We discuss what meridians are, how the Chinese 5 Elements work, whether you can really tell what’s going on in someone’s body just by looking at their ear and how the renowned battlefield acupuncture protocol for pain works.
