Welcome to State of Mind podcast hosted by Nutritional therapist, Grace Kingswell.
Today I am discussing Fertility and pregnancy nutrition with Registered Nutritional Therapist, Cara Redpath. Before you begin listening I will say that if you’re planning on trying to conceive then this is a truly useful episode, and that if you’re pregnant then there’s a lot of good info in here about supplements to take during pregnancy, diet, lifestyle and so on. Slight trigger warning however, we discuss a few topics that might be sensitive to some so please bear that in mind as you go.
Cara and I discuss the concept of 12 months to make a baby, the importance of pre-conception care, foods to consume and foods to avoid if you’re planning to get pregnant (and also whist pregnant), breastfeeding, the importance of thyroid health, gut health and the vaginal microbiome, and we discuss some studies that have seen probiotics hugely reduce risk of childhood allergies and so much more.
There is SO much good info in this episode!

Staying Alive in Toxic Times with Dr Jenny Goodman
September 22, 2021

Today I have a really fantastic episode for you with Dr Jenny Goodman, author of the fantastic must-read book Staying Alive In Toxic Times. Jenny started her career as a medical doctor but became completely disillusioned with the methodology of purely treating symptoms and not offering any preventative medicine. She then found Ecological Medicine, which is very similar to Functional Medicine and Nutritional Therapy where we look at the body as one whole system and try to get to the root cause of problems.
Her book is a manual for 21st century living divided up into the four seasons to cover off seasonal eating, they types of toxins that are most prevalent at certain times of the year (eg early autumn for mould), and also contains lots of really fascinating case studies form her own clinical experience. We cover sunscreen and its dangers, why grounding is actually just pure science, organic food and agriculture, mould and light among many other topics.
It’s a fantastic listen and I hope you enjoy it. You can find Jenny via her instagram @dr_jenny_goodman to via her website drjennygoodman.com

Hello and welcome back to State of Mind with me, Grace Kingswell. Today I’m diving into the topic of histamine with Nutritional Therapist, Matt Jarosy. You might have only heard fo histamine in relation to anti-histamines, typically taken for hay fever. But histamine is an important neurotransmitter, and can play a part in pretty much any reaction in the body form the obvious itchy, scratchy scenario, to brain fog and fatigue. We’re going to break it all down for you today and I hope you find it really fascinating.
In the episode matt talks about a past client of his who’s hay fever symptoms he managed to reduce by about 50% just with the inclusion of some kefir, which brings me on to the sponsor fo this episode -Ki Kefir.
Ki Kefir lives by the philosophy that food is medicine and so created the most authentic, traditional and above all most nutritious kefir available on the market today. The probiotic powerhouse that is kefir is not quite a staple in everyone's fridge (just yet!). Two amazing producers from Sussex are trying to change that.
Kefir is fermented milk that’s naturally abundant in probiotic bacteria that supports and nourishes our microbiome. This in turn has a hugely positive knock on effect for our systemic health.
They produce this kefir with the finest milk made from cows feeding on organic & regenerative pastures only, this ensures the tastiest, nutritionally dense probiotic that money can buy. Ki are on a mission to create a drink company that truly honours what it means to be healing to the planet and people. These guys are the real deal! Their packaging is also 100% recyclable and bottled in glass.
