In this soundbite I'm talking about something I'm pretty damn passionate about: the problem with compostable plastics. I've been researching this topic for a while and there is nothing I love to wax lyrical about more, except maybe the merits of cold water therapy and sunlight =)
Confused whether your compostable coffee cup can go in your green waste? Feeling good about yourself when you sip from a 'green cup,' not sure whether all bio plastics are recyclable, compostable or degradable?
What even is the difference between degradable and biodegradable, and what are the conditions that warrant something actually being able to label itself as biodegradable?
Let's discuss.

Turning pain into power with Hayley Ray

Hello and welcome back to STATE OF MIND, the podcast series that’s all about empowering you to take control of your own health. I'm Grace Kingswell and I'm a Nutritional Therapist with a huge focus on lifestyle medicine and healing from chronic conditions.
This week’s guest is my dear friend Hayley Ray. Hayley is a women’s health, nutrition and wellbeing coach who helps women turn pain into power...The reason for this is that since age 11 Hayley has dealt with the most crippling period pain but for 10 years her doctors refused to believe her and left her to deal with this crippling condition, later discovered to be endometriosis, completely on her own.
She tells the story of how, 10 years down the line, she finally went in for some keyhole surgery to diagnose the endometriosis and the doctors found an undetected cyst on her left ovary.
Hayley took the situation into her own hands and has worked hard on lifestyle changes that have enabled her to manage her Endometriosis and PCOS.
She now coaches women 1-2-1, speaks publicly at events and generally just shares the wealth of knowledge she’s built up in how to deal with a chronic condition and turn it into a positive situation.
I had such a lovely chat with Hayley, and I hope you enjoy it to. So, on with the episode!

Georgie Spurling: In the face of adversity, just dance.

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.
Today I’m talking to Georgie Spurling and we’re going deep into dealing with grief, loss, break ups, fitness and lifestyle.
Georgie's journey to health began way back when she had a heart condition as a youngster and was told she’ never really be able to exercise. She completely disregarded her doctors and trained to be a PT and went hard for a few years dancing, exercising and going to multiple HIIT workouts.
Unsurprisingly she struck burnout and chronic fatigue and, having been bedridden for 3 months, she began slowly to rebuild her strength but it a completely different way to how she’d gone about things before.
More recently, Georgie has had a pretty tough time of it and life has definitely dealt her a rough hand. We talk about how she’s coped with the grief of losing one of her best fiends in a terrible accident, and suffering a breakup all in the space of a week.
She’s a total inspiration and I hope you get a lot from this episode.
