Hello and welcome back to State of Mind with me, Grace Kingswell.
This is the last episode in the 5 episode mini series I’ve been running pre-baby, and actually by the time it airs I will probably already have that baby - eek! The podcast will be taking a little break whilst I adjust to motherhood, but I will be back with more episodes in the future! I’d love to know if there are any topic Is haven’t covered that you’d like me to look into, or guests that you’d like to hear on the pod - so do get in touch with me via instagram!
So today I’ve got Jade Leighton back on the pod to talk about protein. The idea came to us because we’re constantly astounded by the lack of protein on people’s plates that we see on Instagram, and once we’d decided to do this episode I couldn’t actually believe that I haven’t covered it before, as it’s just so basic and SO essential.
In this episode we cover what protein is, why we need it, whether all protein is created equally, how much you should consume per day, types of protein powders, how to combine plant protein sources, and how to get kids eating more protein too. We cover a LOT, as ever, but it’s such a fab episode and absolutely VITAL listening for everyone.
I think you’ll enjoy this one! As ever, if you do, please go ahead and leave a 5 star review on the apple podcasts app. Jade cna be found, if you don’t know already, @_jadeleighton on instagram

Reflexology for Fertility and Pregnancy with Karen Hooton
September 7, 2022
•45m
Hello and welcome back to State of Mind with me, Grace Kingswell.
Today’s episode is on the topic of reflexology for fertility and pregnancy and my guest is Karen Hooton, reflexologist, Nutritional Therapist and Homeopath. I met Karen because we’re both currently doing Sandra Greenbank’s fertility nutrition training and Karen always has so much to add of value to our weekly calls, that I just had to get her on the podcast.
In this episode we cover how you might use reflexology as an adjunct to your fertility journey, when to have sessions if you’re trying to conceive, or already pregnant. Whether it ‘brings on labour,’ as many people say, but also how it works - i.e. based around the meridian systems that correlate with traditional Chinese medicine.
Due to Karen’s all round knowledge in so many areas, we also discuss other factors that might be influencing fertility too. It’s a great listen, and I hope you enjoy it!
Find Karen on instagram @moonbeamtherapies and as ever, if you enjoy the episode please remember to leave a review!

Fertility and the Gut Microbiome with Natasha Evans
April 21, 2023
•54m
Hello and welcome back to state of mind with me, Grace Kingswell. For those of you that are new to the pod - hello hi, I’m Grace, a Nutritional Therapist and new Mum! Hence, this is the first episode I’ve released in a while because time is limited these days with a nearly 9-month old in tow.
Today I’m chatting to one of my great friends and colleagues, Natasha Evans. Tash is a Nutritional Therapist specialising in fertility and gut health, and this episode focuses on the relationship between the two - I.e. how all of our different microbiome systems in our bodies influence our fertility outcomes. It’s a really fascinating listen.
Tash has also just launched her Fertility 360 method - 9 steps to 9 months, which she tells us all about in this episode.
I highly recommend working with Tash if you’re trying to conceive, or if you want to work on your gut health...or ideally (because they’re so connected), both!
You can fine Tash on instagram @nenutrition or get in touch via her website nenutrition.co.uk
