    Acknowledgement/ Rejection / Relaxation / Being present
    Marcus explains how these points along with the 4 key principles of Admin/Energy/Focus/ Life can help anyone achieve the ultra mindset.
    We then go into to some more questions on a personal level where Marcus is happy to be vulnerable and open up on what his weaknesses/blindspots are.

  • Episode 13: Going skin deep on health and wellness with Jessica Lorion
    Episode 13 is sponsored by SASSY10 an online program for ladies and busy mums who feel they have lost their way on the own fitness journey but remember how good they used to look and feel in their 20s. The program guarantees to #SculptAStrongerSexierYou in just 10 weeks and have you regain your SASSY!
    I'm delighted to have international guest Jessica Lorion, an American TV, film, and theatre artist from NY. She’s also the host and producer of The Mamas in Training podcast recording episodes with mamas, for mamas about being and becoming a mom.
    We talk openly about Jessica's own body trauma that has had an extreme effect on not just her daily life but also her desire to become a Mum. She openly shares the pain and suffering she experienced and through this, she sought to be her own best Doctor by firstly looking at her diet with curiosity and intent on what foods were triggering a flare-up, then adjusting and eliminating these to alleviate her symptoms. She shares her top 3 tips that helped the most in her journey to recovery.
    Often we can overlook the most simple things we can change first when we encounter any illnesses, diseases prior to seeking advice and solutions from those in a white coat. Whilst the medical profession is much needed and extremely valued for the most obvious reasons. It is important for us too, to take responsibility for our own health and wellness by ensuring we do the simple things such as getting 7-9hrs sleep every night, drinking 3-4litres of water every day, eating our fruits, vegetables and reducing our intake of sugar and highly processed foods to improve the quality and longevity of our lives.
    As always, I like to ask my guests some more questions on a personal level, so one of the questions I ask Jessica what her definition is of a great Mum. We then finish with the 15 question quick-fire round to see where she scores on the Planted Mindset podcast Leaderboard.
    You can find out more about Jessica and follow her on Instagram by clicking here.

  • Episode 8: Are we living in dis-ease? Guest Karen Lee shares how we can eat well to live well

    In episode 8 I am joined by guest Karen Lee also known as ‘The Sensitive Foodie’ she is a retired intensive care nurse, naturopathic nutritionist, author and speaker. She is passionate about the importance of the food-health connection, Karen promotes the benefits of eating a whole-food plant-based diet - for health, wellness and the wider world. 

    Karen shares her own story and explains how stress affects the body, what inflammation is and how it’s caused and why our unique microbiomes so important and should be cultivated by the foods we ingest.

    By understanding how our bodies work can make it easier for us to understand why we should eat our fruit and vegetables (fibre). So Karen using her many years of ICU nursing skills simplifies what telomeres are and what we can do to ensure ours stay intake, but also explaining that it is never too late to start!

    Her book Eat well, Live Well offers practical advice and tips on the food types, cooking techniques and equipment required to help some-one looking to transition to a plant-based diet. SO I ask her to share some of these with us.

    We then delve into her role as an ICU nurse asking her to share a particularly memorable moment from her career. I could quite happily have listened to Karen all day as she explains things in such a relatable way. As we are all children in adult bodies, I chose to ask her what 3 life skills she would share with an assembly of primary school children and why? Then finishing with who her inspiration is right now and why?

    Karen then competed against the clock to answer the 15 questions on the quick fire round. Check out her time on www.nbefit.co.uk

    You can find out more and follow Karen on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.sensitive.foodie/

    6. Episode 7: Fad or Fantastic - Talking about diet with Food Scientist Gianluca Tognon and what it actually means!
      In episode 7 I am joined from Sweden by Gianluca Tognon also known as ‘The Food Scientist’, he is also a Epidemiologist and Associate Professor in Public Health helping Companies create and promote healthier food products.
      We get stuck in on the top 5 nutrition facts that should know about whilst debunking the myth that there’s no perfect diet.
      Gianluca shares his dietary experiences growing up in Italy along with his expertise and knowledge on what someone should be aspiring to achieve for their own nutritional wellness.
      He expands upon what are the most important nutrients/vitamins/minerals we should be looking to including in our diet.
      He shares what is the biggest surprising factor (a-ha moment) he has come across that many people probably don’t know about or are not being told.
      I then ask some questions to find out a little more about Gianluca and was intrigued about his answers. So much so we will record a ‘spin-off’ podcast specifically for it!
      We then finish with the 15 questions quick fire round against the clock.

      Loved recording another episode with Glen John Jones to continue our plantbased discussion and also talk about his recent eBook release - ‘Know Your Plant-Based Foods: The go-to reference book for plant-based nutrition. A sequel to his first book Think and Grow Vegan which we talked about in episode #16 of the first series. Whether you’re vegan, plantbased or indeed a meat-eater, this handy download is packed with the nutrient content of almost pretty much any plant, fruit or vegetable. Glen gives a run down of what he typically eats on a plantbased diet to provide ideas and show that it’s easier than you think to hit your protein requirements!
