Hello and welcome to STATE OF MIND. I’m Grace Kingswell, I’m a Nutritional Therapist and Lifestyle Medicine Advocate and this is my series all about health, mental wellbeing, state of mind, the environment, creating sustainable practices and finding true connection with yourself, those around you and with nature.
I am thrilled to bring you an episode with Debbie Lewis, member of the Institute for Functional Medicine and registered BANT Nutritional Therapist.
I am SO excited to have Debbie on the podcast because she literally encapsulates everything I am trying to promote about nutrition, health and wellness: that fundamentally we cannot compartmentalise the body if we want to peruse optimum health.
Modern medicine, amazing though it may be, seeks to divide the body up into sections - you go to Dermatologist for your skin and a Gastroenterologist for your gut but a Dermatologist would never tell you that your skin is bad because your gut health is off.
Functional Medicine looks at the whole body as one system and recognises that you can’t spray weed killer onto a problem if you want to cure it because it will never, ever reach the root cause.
In this episode we debunk a LOT of nutrition myths, from celery juice to fasting, what you should really be eating for breakfast, whether we all need probiotics and SO much more.
Please please share this episode if you find it useful and you enjoy it - I want the information on this podcast to reach as many people as possible so that we can bring about change in this industry that’s saturated with bliss balls, overnight oats, celery juice, detoxes and quick fixes!!!

Hello and welcome to STATE OF MIND.

This weeks short sound bite touches briefly on PMS and how it's really not your fault that you're a hot mess once a month and prompted by a good friend I debunk the difference between a healthy granola and a bowl of Shreddies...which both contain the same amount of sugar.

Hello and welcome back to state of mind. I’m grace Kingswell and this is my series all about health, wellness and conscious living - both from a planetary and from a health perspective.
Today I’m talking to Victoria Meale. Victoria is a sustainable interior designer and this episode starts with our discussion of what that actually means and how she goes about designing a space that’s built to last whilst focusing on using materials that don’t pollute our homes or release toxins into the air we breath.
Then the conversation shifts towards her and the way she lives her life. Victoria has a lot of insight to share on living consciously, especially with regards to how she’s bringing up her son, and she is a firm believer of needing to find acceptance of the ways that others choose to live their lives, which I think is an important concept because it’s all to easy to get on your high horse and start being preachy when it comes to 'sustainability.'
We talk about how she lives in tune with the sun, not using any blinds or curtains at home, how her, her partner and her son all co-sleep and how she deals with the judgement she feels from other mothers or people around her who disagree with the way she’s doing things.
