Hello and welcome back to STATE OF MIND, my podcast series all about health and nutrition and living a conscious and connected life with yourself and those around you. I'm Grace and I'm a Nutritional Therapist ad Lifestyle Medicine Advocate who can often be found cold water swimming, doing some breath work or cooking up a storm in the kitchen!
Today I’m talking to the amazing Josh Pike who has spearheaded the community based project 'Do Summit Good' in Wales. I met josh one morning at sunrise when we swam in the sea together on Rotherslade Beach on the Gower Peninsula. I got talking to Josh about his life’s mission and swiftly realised that here was a man doing incredible things for his community, our planet and himself.
He’s recently crowdfunded £10,000 to buy a very special steam oven to bake what he calls Truffle Bars. One of the projects that Summit Good is working on is their Truffle Bar Bar, a deliciously chocolatey vegan truffle bar made from borlotti beans grown on a community farm on the Gower peninsula.
Josh tells me the story of why he went from running successful cafes in Swansea to living in a van with his wife for 8 months and then finally realising that he wanted to Do Summit Good.

The Other Side of Cold with Wim Hof Instructor, Tom Parry

Hello and welcome back to state of mind, I’m grace Kingswell and I’m a nutritional therapist, cold water swimmer and nature lover. I believe that we can gain so much power and understanding from tuning in and listening to our bodies, from reconnecting with nature and with those around us.
I help my patients heal from gut health issues, hormonal imbalances and fad diets but I also encourage them to step up for their own health, to be an active participant in that journey and to be their own best doctor.
This is why I’m so excited to bring to an episode today with Tom parry. Tom is the director of Live Long Ltd, a wellness clinic in Suffolk dedicated to helping people to live in a more engaged way. The practice is home to osteopaths, Pilates instructors, nutritionists and more, and, they hold regular Wim Hof breath work and ice bath workshops.
You might have seen on my Instagram that I did my first ice bath experience with Tom when I went to meet him for the podcast, and that’s because he’s a professional Wim Hof instructor. It was my first experience of breath work too, which was amazing and completely uplifting.
We talk a lot in this episode about taking responsibility for your own health, and I came away from it feeling uplifted and inspired. I hope you do too!

Sound Bite 6: Intuitive Eating

Hello and welcome back to STATE OF MIND, my podcast series all about health and nutrition and living a conscious and connected life with yourself and those around you.
In this short soundbite I'm talking about the new buzzword...Intuitive Eating. I was on holiday recently and reading a book all about IE...but every few pages I'd feel like having an ice cream or some chocolate because I was being 'intuitive,' and it got me thinking about the difference between eating intuitively and eating for health...
