In this episode, Natasha and Emily sit down with Nikki Bostwick, founder of The Fullest, to uncover the science and tradition behind saffron — one of the world’s most luxurious and misunderstood spices. Nikki shares how her personal wellness journey led her to start a saffron-based brand and why this ancient ingredient is now being studied for its effects on mood, anxiety, ADHD, and post-weaning depression.

The conversation explores how saffron functions similarly to SSRIs but without many of the side effects, why quality sourcing is critical given how commonly it’s counterfeited, and the best ways to safely introduce it into both adult and children’s routines
