Welcome back to Real Health Radio. This week it’s a solo episode and I’m talking about something that’s been on my mind for a long time: free will. Do we have as much free will as we think? Or does our environment, genetics, history, and health conditions impact our decisions more than we think? Or is the concept of free will a complete illusion all together? I dig into this and cover why I think it’s an important issue for how we think as individuals and how we should be functioning as a society.

Welcome back to Real Health Radio. We have another guest interview and this week I’m sitting down with Irene Lyon. Irene is a nervous system specialist and therapeutic coach who helps everyone — from the mom next door to the next big thought leaders —transform their bodies, businesses, relationships and lives through regulating their nervous systems. She helps people release their deepest traumas from their nervous systems, allowing them to finally heal from chronic mental, physical, and emotional conditions they’ve tried everything to fix. Irene uses these same tools to help entrepreneurs break through the mental, physical, and emotional blocks that arise when taking big leaps in their businesses. As a result, together they create a huge ripple effect across the planet. Irene has intensively studied and practices the work of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, Peter Levine (founder of Somatic Experiencing) and Kathy Kain (founder of Somatic Practice). Irene has a master’s degree in research in the fields of biomedical and health science. She regularly appears on podcasts and online summits teaching all things nervous system health, healing trauma and neuroplasticity.

Welcome back to Real Health Radio. We have another guest interview and this week I’m sitting down with Pixie Turner. Pixie is a nutritionist (ANutr), food blogger, and avid Instagrammer. She graduated with a First Class degree in Biochemistry, and went on to complete a Masters in Nutrition with Distinction.

With this show, I go through my favourite books, documentaries and podcasts that I’ve consumed in 2017. It’s an eclectic mix of stuff, some things that directly relate to health and nutrition but most have no relation whatsoever.
