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.
In this weeks episode I'm talking to Lea Sednaoui (@chewchoose), chef and follower of the Blood Type Diet. Lea was struggling with her health when she turned 30, she was sluggish, overweight, sleeping badly, eating excessive amounts of animal protein and she turned it all around to be the vibrant and energetic person she is now. The Blood Type diet is, duh, different for each blood type and you stick to foods that are beneficial for your type as dictated by founder and geneticist, Dr D'Adamo.
We also talk about our modern fascination with eating the same foods over and over again (hello overnight oats with nut butter), our Western sense of entitlement surrounding food, and how we're all missing a trick by not including anything more varied - not just for our health but also our tastebuds!
Lea's food is an incredible fusion of Lebanese and French cuisine and she's passionate about slow cooking, slow living and really embracing our culinary heritage.

Sound Bite 2: Community and Creating Happiness

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.
In this sound bite I'm reflecting on the idea of community and how our lack of it is changing the way we experience health and wellness. Specifically, I look at the parallels between our disparate lives and our wellbeing, seen most clearly in our experience of mental health.
I go through the 4 ways that I stay happy on a daily basis and talk about why your happiness and balance needs to come from within first and foremost. It's only when we're balanced and can actually get to a place where little things don't stress us out, that we can really begin to live a lifestyle of consistency.
I delve into my morning routine as well and discuss the new community that I've just founded, Slow Sundays (on Insta @slowsundays_) to help people connect through movement and wild swimming here in London.

I am so thrilled to bring you this incredible episode with Director of Incredible Oceans, Ian Rowlands.
Incredible Oceans is an organisation that uses the arts, science, education and spectacular events to shed light on the desperate state of our oceans. He is a journalist; conservationist; scientist; wildlife tracker; guide; festival organiser; charity founder; arts lover; environmental activist and wild soul. He’s tracked down bears, birds and blue whales from the Arctic to the Antarctic, Asia and the Amazon and along the way explored spirit, shamanism, coaching and communication.
He’s passionate about us humans needing to reconnect with our living world and some of the things he tells me in this episode literally blow my mind....
This is a beautifully powerful episode and Ian talks eloquently and insightfully about the changes we all need to make.
