Hello and welcome back to STAE OF MIND with Nutritional Therapist, Grace Kingswell.

My guest today is Anna Blackwell. Anna is an adventurer, which I feel like is one of those things you decide to be when you’re a child but that realistically you never end up being. As Anna explains in the episode, she never had grand ideas from an early age to be an adventurer, she sort of fell into it and realised that the physical endurance and mental resilience needed to put yourself through gruelling experiences was something she really enjoyed.

I was personally really intrigued to find out what she eats on long expeditions, and I was quite horrified at one of the answers, and what it’s like not seeing another human for days on end.

Whether you’re into hiking and adventure or not, this episode is an enlightening exploration into the human psyche and what it is about some of us that makes us enjoy and seek out adversity.

I also want to apologise now for one instance in this episode where, due to the zoom connection being a bit slow, I basically interrupt Anna multiple times - podcasting long distance via Zoom is hard, so I hope you can forgive me on that one!

I also mention a trek I did in New Zealand and couldn’t remember the name at the time, it’s called The Banks Peninsula and it was some of the best, and hardest, days of my life!

Welcome to series 6 of STATE OF MIND with Nutritional Therapist, Grace Kingswell

Today I’m thrilled to re-introduce Debbie Lewis to the podcast, a great friend and mentor of mine and one of a select few Institute for Functional Medicine registered practitioners here in the UK.

Debbie’s here to talk about porridge and why it’s not the best breakfast option out there, no matter how beautiful it looks on Instagram.

The reason this episode came about is because I took to Insta recently to share my experience with having porridge for breakfast a few weeks ago. Usually I stick to eggs and veg - a lovely protein rich breakfast - but for some reason or another I decided to have porridge one morning and felt so sluggish, tired and headachey afterwards. I pretty much broke my Instagram DMs after posting about this so I thought I’d delve into the topic further with Debbie’s help.

I’ve also just published an eBook called Eggs and Veg which has a lot of info on blood sugar and the importance of maintaining steady levels plus lots of delicious protein based breakfast ideas to keep you inspired. It’s just £10.99 and downloadable via my website gracekingswell.com

Please share this podcast with your mates and leave a review on the Apple podcast app if you can - so that I can keep growing and producing podcasts for you all!
