Chris Freer

 

I have led a colourful and varied life. My world imploded when I received the news that I had Multiple Sclerosis which is an incurable neurological condition. In the initial stages I was classified as relapsing remitting but quickly progressed. MS and my thinking around it took me to the depths of despair. I reached a low point in my life and made an incomplete attempt to end my life! Soon after that I was informed by my Neurologist, I was now secondary progressive this was despite taking the pharmaceutical drugs that should have slowed the progression. At that point there were no drugs that would halt the progression my neurologist’s prediction was a wheelchair. He was right! I remember looking out over the estuary near where I live thinking if I do not start using my legs, I would lose them for ever, my fight back started. My journey back from the brink has been a long slow road, it has been interesting, and I have learnt a lot about how we can take back control, how we can move forward, how we can become a better version of ourselves. 

For many years now, one step at a time I have been taking back control of my mind and body. I know I will never cure MS; however, I will never allow it to dominate my life again! I choose to live my life alongside MS. I hope to open people’s minds to new possibilities and buck the trend of we have no control over our health.

Éthelle G. Lord, M.Ed., DM 

Can be described by many epithets. She’s the founding president of the ICA (International Caregivers Association), a GSHS (Good Shepherd Healing System) practitioner, author, educator, management coach, presenter, mother and grandmother. 

Her emphatic personality is easily detected. She is an amazing human being. Despite growing up in different circumstances and social norms than those that we are living in now, she has never let anything stop her from learning, forging her place in the world, and especially helping others. 

Éthelle believes that both her upbringing and life experiences are at the foundation of her ability to lead in her field today. She shared a quote that sums up her life’s philosophy: “The best things in life are the people we love, the places we’ve been, and the memories we’ve made along the way.” She believes that anytime we live our life to the best of our abilities and help others then we can say “I have no regrets”.

Living my life to the fullest by helping others along the way leads to living a life without regret. Spending 21 years in the care of my husband living with vascular dementia also leads to living my life without regrets. Life does bring challenges to everyone, small and large. It is not always clear why the challenges are presented. What is clear is that life lessons can only be learnt by living through such challenges.

Dr. Lord

Tom Gold


I'm a Life Coach, Bush craft Instructor and personal trainer and I'm a big believer in using the outdoors to restore ourselves. It's the environment we were built and designed to thrive in which is why it all somehow makes sense when we go back there.

Don't believe me? Why is a room with view so important? Why do we go on holiday to places that look nice - like the seaside or the country? Why is it when you google 'success' and hit images more than half the pictures are of people on mountain tops?

I work with businesses, with front line NHS staff, combat veterans dealing with PTSD and people dealing with a variety of mental health challenges.

I have an ICF accredited Diploma in Transformational Life Coaching, an Honours degree in Psychology and I’m a qualified Bush craft Instructor.

On my show nobody gets cold wet and miserable, nobody gets put under pressure to bare their soul and nobody has to take on any physical challenges or tests.

Fun facts about Tom

I live in Scotland in the Trossachs National Park, sometimes known as the Gateway to the Highlands. 

I have two sons. They are the centre of my world.

People often say to me ‘Oh Bushcraft, you mean like Bear Grylls?’ I am nothing like Bear Grylls.

I like action movies and I love true life adventure stories which I find very inspiring.

I worked for a year in a correctional boot camp in Arizona. It was extremely challenging.

I travelled, unsupported from Inverness to Glasgow with a folding kayak to raise money for a school in Gambia. That was quite challenging too.

I am the co-inventor of the little known sport of ‘Wheelie Bin Ball’. An honour I share with members of my Glasgow youth group.

Dana Chapman

Dana is a nutritional therapist and leading mental health expert, specialising in the gut brain axis. Dana supports individuals and organisations by exploring complex human physiology and explaining these concepts in an easy to understand and relatable way. To Dana, normalising poor mental health is not the correct objective, because it is not normal. It is the body’s way of telling us that something isn’t working as it should. She aims to inspire, motivate, and empower people with knowledge on how their bodies work and what we can do to support our bodies to work at their best.

Before embarking on her Nutrition career Dana had a successful corporate career working as a consultant for PwC. During this career she saw the far-reaching impacts of stress and poor food choices on the performance and health of those around her.

When we understand the role that stress, genetics, poor nutrition and our lifestyles impact our mental health, and how we can make small, effective and achievable changes in each of these areas, then we can start to believe that poor mental health and poor resilience can be overcome.

Today Dana works with individuals and companies throughout the UK running programmes and courses for reactive and preventative responses to stress and the impact on the gut.

Who is Neil Bindeman?

It was in 2015 when Neil Bindemann, who trained in neuro-immunology, and founded the Primary Care Neurology Society (P-CNS) in 2004,  receive life-impacting news. That moment, began with the word “Do you mind taking a seat, the doctors and looking at your scans and need to come and talk to you”; a moment when he started off on his trauma-informed journey. Life, looking through his neuroimmunologist PhD trained eyes, was about to transform, to see why and how “Quality of Life” and not “Quantity of Wealth” is what sustains a person’s quality of living.

In one of his various LinkedIn social media posts Neil explains that this moment was also when he discovered a life-reset button, which he pressed to enable  him to use his senses to rewild his emotions to guid him in evolving the P-CNS into the Person-Centred Neurosciences Society at the end of COVID and launch the Lifestyle Health Foundation.

Issy Warrack, a commercial property surveyor by profession and an entrepreneur at heart, always enjoyed an active and varied lifestyle. Before, during and after her property career she developed a couple of successful business ventures within Scotland, the UK and Europe, including Norway and Greece. Juggling an active career, motherhood and family life, was just run-of-the-mill for her, never giving her health a second thought. It came as a surprise when she developed serious heart issues, which over time were not responding to prescribed medication. Her interest in holistic medicine led her and her business partner to explore the healing properties of healthy nutrition, which was a revelation. This led to Wellness EQ, a company specialising in health and wellness. Issy has been the driving force behind the publication of two recipe books during COVID.
