Forking Wellness

SEASON 3 IS IN FULL SWING! We are so excited to put out our next season because we actually got our sh*t together and pre recorded this one - who are we?! After both our lives got super hectic, we decided to get ahead of ourselves to record a season like no other! We have so many exciting topics coming your way but first, we catch up and let you guys know what we've been up to! We are also preparing to go vegan for a week and we cannot wait to fill you in on how it went!

We are also so excited to announce our second FW Brunch Club at St Clements cafe in London. We have a few tickets remaining https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/forking-wellness-brunch-tickets-295767407277?aff=ebdsoporgprofile 

We want to say a huge thank you to this seasons sponsor Exhale Coffee, the UK’s first coffee sourced and roasted for health and performance. It’s organic and tested free from mycotoxins and pesticides and

1 cup of Exhale coffee independently tested to have the same antioxidants as 12 punnets of blueberries or 55 oranges!!! It also is optimized for polyphenols and 2 cups provide 20% of your RDA of Vitamin B3, necessary for energy production and brain support.

They do this through…

Their unique process involving 9 different independent lab tests locks in more of coffee’s naturally healthy compounds while keeping out the bad and is overseen by Dr Rupy, NHS medical doctor, and Alex Manos, Functional Medicine Practitioner. For those who are trying to avoid caffeine, they offer a decaf which is the same coffee that’s been decaffeinated by the chemical free mountain water process which uses only pure spring water from the highest mountain in Mexico to gently extract 99.9% of caffeine and leaves all the healthy polyphenols in place. For those who sometimes feel anxious from caffeine, polyphenols have been shown to reduce anxiousness so people who previously couldn’t drink coffee can often drink a high polyphenol coffee like Exhale’s, jitter and crash-free.

They equally prioritise their impact on the planet and:

Shoutout to this weeks sponsor Remedy Drinks who create tasty, refreshing, and natural soft drinks (mainly Kombucha’s) that are healthier alternatives to sugar-laden or artificially sweetened fizzy drinks. Remedy kombucha is a healthy and tasty fizzy drink, made by naturally fermenting sweet tea with a live culture. It contains no sugar, for real! Although sugar is an essential ingredient for fermentation, at Remedy our 30 day long-aged, small batch brew process brews it all out leaving no sugar, naturally. Each 250ml can contains just 7 calories but 250 million live cultures! Remedy is unpasteurised, live, raw and jam-packed with live cultures, tea polyphenols and organic acids, which can support and promote good gut health. Live cultures increase the diversity of gut flora, aka the microorganisms (or bugs) that live in your gut. We're obsessed!!

Diet culture is something that sneaks its way into a lot of peoples lives... It has us believe the smaller is better, weight loss is 'healthy' and foods should be categorised into 'good' and 'bad' (just to name a few!). Along with this comes the need to monitor our weight and we think that body checking needs to be highlighted as its something we have both done ourselves and no so many others do and let determine how they feel about themselves...

Things we discuss:

• What is body checking
• Why we feel the need to do it
• Postpartum bodies
• Pressure from ourselves
• Diet culture
• Why you need to stop body checking
