Grayson Hart joins Dr Ruth Allan on Episode 076 of her show 'Brain Health: Unchaining Your Pain.' Grayson is a former international rugby player with a career of 14 years as a pro. After a chronic knee injury and severe reliance on painkillers having a negative effect on his mental and physical health, Grayson discovered the profound power of legal and non addictive cannabis extract supplements and mushrooms to change his life.

He went on to launch Puresport, known as one of the UK's leading innovative natural wellness brands, who have built a community with a shared vision centred around mind and body wellness.

In this interview Grayson provides some inspirational insights into his childhood and how his demand to know why at school, often perceived as confrontational when he was young, ultimately became his superpower.

We talk about the challenges of educational systems that are unable to accommodate or adapt to different brain types. Grayson discusses his moment of shame and the pivotal moment in his life that led him to playing for the Auckland blues at 19 years old. He talks about the impact of losing his dad two seasons into the game, and how his attempt to emotionally suppress his grief led to physical expression that became self-destructive.

Grayson shares how he transitioned from professional rugby in Scotland to founding Puresport as a result of a chronic knee injury, and what he discovered about himself on his journey, including realising the need to shift his perspective from extrinsic to intrinsic motivation.

I loved this episode as it highlights how important it is to adapt our educational system to allow children to uncover their superpowers, the impact of childhood trauma on our behavioural responses. In particular I loved how Grayson showed, despite what life throws at you, there is always an opportunity to be uncovered in every hurdle in life you face to enable you to achieve optimal performance.

Jamie Thomson joins Dr Ruth Allan on Episode 075 of her show ‘Brain Health: Unchaining Your Pain'

Jamie is an ex professional footballer, ex Royal Navy sailor and now successful entrepreneur in the area of sport, exercise, health & wellbeing and bio technologies. He is passionate about helping people understand the easy things they can do to benefit their health, while driving the awareness of Cellular health and Redox biology in the U.K. and around the world

In this episode we talk about the fascinating signalling pathways in our body and mind, the redox signalling molecules responsible for supporting our cellular communication and how to amplify the signal strength to enhance our internal communication network and ultimate aid recovery and enhance human performance

As a Reservist officer in the Royal Corps of Signals, I found this conversation absolutely fascinating as Jamie shares the extraordinary capability of a ground-breaking new product ASEA Redox that produces the redox signalling molecules, which is native to our body in liquid and gel form for us to use

This breakthrough health technology developed in the USA has been considered as significant as the breakthrough in penicillin, one of the effects of which is up-regulating glutathione by 800%

In 1998 the Nobel Prize was awarded on Redox signalling molecules, without which we would die within 3 seconds, and post puberty we lose our production redox signalling molecules about 1% a year

Jamie provides some fascinating case studies of those that have used this product to support their healing journey on some significant health challenges. Be sure to rate and review this episode on any podcasting platform.

Dr Ruth Allan goes LIVE as a new ‘Brain Bites' segment to her podcast ‘Brain Health: Unchaining Your Pain'

In this LIVE episode, Dr Ruth draws on several guest episodes of her show ‘Brain Health: Unchaining Your Pain' and her own experience to provide parents and carers with ten simple steps they can take to empower their children to become warriors for their health – starting with creating food warriors.

Why?

Because at present, in the USA, our children are predicted to die earlier than us due to the state of our food system – in essence, we are killing our children early.

And being a parent, Dr. Ruth is NOT ok with that.

In this episode, Dr. Ruth talks about what you can do to nurture healthier, happier, calmer kids who, rather than being victims to the toxins in the food system that is poisoning their minds and bodies, are more EMPOWERED to take back control and change the food system to one that benefits their health, rather than just the food industry.

She shares the shocking statistics that are influencing what we eat and the impact it is having on us. She discusses why it's so important to start talking about the brain and falling in love with it, what you can do as a parent or carer personally to become ambassadors for a better brain and longer health span and life span, and how you can support your children in becoming food warriors.

We would love to know what of the ten steps you will implement in your family or your organisation – let us know! If you'd love to share your story of how these ten steps have influenced change in your family or your organisation, whether an educational institution or business, we'd love to hear from you.

We talk about the importance of setting time boundaries and understanding your performance needs, as well as the role of humour in the workplace and the real challenge of addressing neurodiversity.

And Dr. Sara shares her inspiring story as we dive into the Five Pillars of Brain Health that contextualizes the importance of environment and connection beyond the spoken word.

Henry Dimbleby joins Dr Ruth Allan LIVE on her show ‘Brain Health: Unchaining Your Pain' on Monday, 27 March 2023

Henry Dimbleby is the author of the book ‘Ravenous: How to get ourselves and our planet into shape’. Published in March 2023, this analysis of the food system – how it is malfunctioning and what to do about it, build on the work he did in the independent National Food Strategy, described by Prue Leith as “the best government document that’s ever come out.”

In 2013, he co-authored The School Food Plan, a blueprint for the government setting out actions to transform what children eat in schools and how they learn about food. It resulted in the introduction of free school meals for all children up to the age of eight and cooking lessons being made obligatory for all children up to 14 years old.

From 2018 to 2023, Dimbleby was the lead non-executive board member of the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs. He has also advised the Labour party on improving the food system's sustainability and security.

Henry previously worked as a journalist at The Daily Telegraph and a chef at the Michelin-starred Four Seasons Inn on the Park. 

In this episode, we talk about the chronic health epidemic associated with our current food system and the actionable steps we can take to improve the health of ourselves and our planet through a system-centric approach.

We discuss the importance of educating our children in healthy food for their minds, the risk of drugging our way out of the problem rather than dealing with the root cause and how we could be at the cusp of a new scientific revolution for using big data to understand and address these complex systems.

We talk about how people are living in a food ‘swamp' / junk food world and want change, given our children are now predicted to have a lower life expectancy than their parents as a result of the food system messing with our evolutionary feedback loops that govern our behaviour.

We also discuss the importance of giving our children the tools to survive in the food swamp, starting with creating a safe environment inside the home, helping our children to learn how to cook food from scratch, as well as different steps you can take as a parent to make food healthy and fun.

I loved this episode as we had so much to discuss on the importance of addressing the food system through a system-centric approach.
