That "100% of your recommended amount" on the back of your supplements? It's only the bare minimum to avoid a deficiency. DR.VEGAN founder Gordon Lott on how the supplement industry misleads you, and why real healthcare should be about caring for your health, not just treating you when you are ill.

Gordon spent years inside the supplement industry, from a running social network to a multi-billion-pound global manufacturer, before starting his own brand. In this conversation with Caroline Cary he explains what those numbers on the label actually mean, why the expensive option is often no better than a cheaper one, how forms and doses change everything, and why our whole system is built around illness instead of prevention. Practical, direct, and genuinely useful if you have ever stood in a shop wondering which supplement to trust.

What we cover

The magnesium supplement that did nothing, and the idea it sparkedWhat working inside a global manufacturer taught him about how supplements are really madeWhy NRVs, that "100%" figure, are one of the most misunderstood numbers in health

Forms and doses: why the same ingredient can be brilliant or uselessUnnecessary additives, and the carcinogen that was once in a bestselling pregnancy supplementWhy healthcare is built around illness, not prevention, and what schools never teach us.

What the law lets brands say, and why the MHRA classing menopause as a "disease" is a problem.

The myth that a more expensive supplement is a better oneWhat most people should actually take (and what to skip)How to read a supplement label properlyStevia, sweeteners and the gut microbiome.

His three things: check the label, believe you can improve your health, stay curious

About Gordon

Gordon is the founder of DR.VEGAN, a supplement brand built on evidence-based doses, better ingredient forms, no unnecessary additives and fair pricing. He is also developing SubScore, a tool designed to let anyone scan a supplement label and get an objective quality score.

From National Hunt jockey to the face of ITV Racing. Broadcaster Alice Fox-Pitt on building a career in sports commentary.

Alice is a British equestrian broadcaster on ITV Racing, a former eventer and National Hunt jockey, and by one account the only woman to have ridden both at Badminton and over the Grand National course at Aintree.

In this conversation with Caroline Cary she traces the path from riding winners to the commentary box, what good sports storytelling actually is, and how society's relationship with the horse is changing.

She also talks about the harder chapters, her husband William Fox-Pitt's brain injury and the loss of both her sisters, and about the things she is building now: a rural workspace and pub built on the belief that we are better together, and what it means to be a responsible custodian of land passed down through generations.

What we cover

A "can do" family and a childhood with no fear of risk.

Riding winners on the flat, over hurdles and over fences.

Breaking into broadcasting through luck, good stories and saying yes.

The craft of live sports commentary, and why she stays in her lane.

Why society's relationship with the horse is changing, and why it is a partnership not a domination.

William's fall in 2015, the coma, and a recovery no one could predict.

Losing her sisters Katie and Elle, and the choice her mother gave her.

Building a rural workspace on the "better together" idea, and why we were never meant to work alone.

Why working from home can quietly make us the worst version of ourselves.

Being custodian of land and estate: access, farming, community and the environment.

Being solution based, and her three things: be brave, find your tribe, make time.

About Alice

Alice represented Great Britain in eventing and rode winners on the flat, over hurdles and over fences before moving into broadcasting, first with Channel 4 Racing and now ITV Racing. She is married to Olympic eventer William Fox-Pitt and is a mother of four. Alongside her television work she is developing a rural workspace, pub and community projects on the family estate in Dorset.

Elisabeth Whiting was 20 years out of work, raising four children, and approaching 50 when she tried The Human Being Diet.

Three years later she is the recipe developer behind the HBD cookbooks published by Thorsons HarperCollins.

In this episode she talks to Caroline Cary about food noise, emotional eating, the confidence to start again in midlife, and why the word "diet" is the wrong word for what she does.

About our guest
Elisabeth Whiting is a self-taught cook and former textile designer and illustrator who worked in IT sales before stepping back to raise her family.

She discovered The Human Being Diet in 2022, began creating recipes around the HBD larder, and was invited to collaborate by HBD creator and nutritionist Petronella Ravenshear.

She now writes weekly recipes for the HBD Club and has co-created three HBD titles in a year.

In this conversation

• Why HBD is about metabolic rhythm and meal timing, not deprivation
• Food noise: how conflicting nutrition advice leaves people paralysed at the fridge
• Boredom eating, tiredness eating, and identifying your own triggers
• How your palate changes when processed food comes out
• The four HBD phases explained, including the 16-day Reset and the Burn phase
• Surgical menopause, brain fog, inflammation, and cooking for hormone health
• Getting a HarperCollins book deal at 50, and imposter syndrome in a room full of famous authors
• Why women undersell their talent, and what changes when they stop.

Three takeaways

1. There is always space for a new chapter. Be your own champion first.
2. Small steps beat radical overhauls. Even leaving five hours between meals is a start.
3. Fresh herbs on the windowsill, a bowl of lemons, and good olive oil will change how you cook.

Your body already knows how to heal. Chinese medicine just helps it remember. UK Chinese medicine practitioner Katie Brindle on the £10 back massage that ended 30 years of chronic pain, and the three free things that matter more than anything you can buy.

After a car accident ended her career as an opera singer and left her in pain that Western medicine couldn't touch, Katie stumbled into a TCM clinic on the Edgware Road almost by chance. One treatment changed the direction of her life.

In this episode she and Caroline Cary get into why prevention beats cure, why the wellness industry got so complicated, and the simple foundations of looking after yourself that cost nothing.

What we coverThe accident that ended one life and started another. Why Chinese medicine is a complete system, not just massage and herbs. Prevention over cure, and what Western healthcare still misses.

The "healing pivot" and why the body can right itself.Breathe, move, schedule: the three free foundations of self-careWhy me, why this, why now: the three questions behind getting sick. Reading your symptoms as messages, and the body's daily clock.

About Katie Brindle

Katie Brindle’s journey into Chinese medicine began with an unexpected turning point. She had always dreamed of becoming an opera singer, but in her early twenties a serious car accident changed everything. Damage to her vocal cords brought that dream to an abrupt end, followed by years of chronic pain and ongoing health struggles.

Five years later, she stepped into a small Chinese medicine clinic on a London high street. There, she experienced body gua sha for the first time and felt something she had not felt in years: genuine relief. It was a true eureka moment, one that would completely change the course of her life.

In this episode of Eat Nourish Love, Caroline Cary is joined by Leslie Kenny, former international banker and Walt Disney executive turned longevity entrepreneur, and founder of Oxford Healthspan.

In her late 30s, Leslie was diagnosed with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and later Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and told there was no cure and perhaps five years left.

Refusing to accept that, she rebuilt her health through nutrition, lifestyle and a deep dive into cellular science, went into remission within six months, and conceived naturally at 43 after being told it was impossible.

Her story will resonate with anyone who has been dismissed by the system, handed a label instead of an answer, or told it is simply too late.

About Leslie Kenny

Leslie Kenny is a longevity entrepreneur and the founder of Oxford Healthspan. A UC Berkeley graduate with a Harvard MBA, she began her career in Swiss banking before joining Walt Disney, where she was handed its then unprofitable internet division and went on to launch one of the first online matchmaking companies in China and across Asia, working directly with the Chinese government on early public health education.

After transforming her own health following an autoimmune diagnosis, she partnered with scientists affiliated with the University of Oxford to make science-led, food-derived longevity solutions more widely available.

What This Episode

traces the path from a high-stress, sedentary corporate life to the "perfect storm" that preceded her illness, and the moment a doctor advised her against another round of IVF because she had five years left. She explains the mindset that changed everything: aiming to be just 1% better each day, and throwing the kitchen sink at her own recovery.

The conversation then turns to the science Leslie built a company around: spermidine, a food-derived compound studied at Oxford for its role in autophagy, the body's cellular self-cleaning process.

She explains how it renews ageing immune cells, why fasting alone may not trigger cell renewal without it, which everyday foods contain it, and how it differs from weight-loss drugs and HRT. They also cover biological age testing, hormone balance, and the mission of the Oxford Longevity Project.

Leslie's Three Key Takeaways:

Move. We were never designed to be sedentary, yet laptops, screens and video calls conspire to keep us still. Movement, not too much and not too little, is foundational.

Nourish. Not just good food and water in the right amounts, but social connection, a sense of purpose, volunteering, good sleep and stress reduction. All of it is nourishment.

Renew. Trigger the body's self-renewal through autophagy, and get yourself into a parasympathetic state where you feel safe enough to rest, repair and restore. Unresolved stress and trauma keep inflammation lingering, so renewal matters as much as diet and movement.

Caroline Carey sits down with Libbla Kelly, founder of Right to Rise and Wisdom While You Work, for a conversation about handwriting as a tool for self-awareness, emotional processing and change.Libbla makes the case that reading absorbs you but writing rewires you. Backed by neuroscience, her work uses the physical act of putting pen to paper to slow the brain down, reach past the patterns we hide behind, and process what we would rather push away. Caroline and Libbla go back many years, so this one is personal: two friends on how a notebook became non-negotiable.If you have ever rolled your eyes at "journaling", or tried and not got on with it, or even love it and want to take it a step further - this is the episode that reframes it.In this episode:00:00 Change happens when you want it01:24 Welcome to Eat Nourish Love01:45 Meet Libbla Kelly and Write to Rise03:20 From stationery monitor to a life with the pen05:19 Why handwriting, not a keyboard07:50 Memory is a muscle09:06 Reach out, but also reach in12:05 The method: Stop, Read, Listen, Feel, Write, Rise13:11 Using breathwork to prepare16:36 Sitting with the feeling20:18 Cortisol, scrolling and the quick fix23:34 Over-coping and the weight women carry28:40 Women's wellbeing in the workplace31:02 Inside the Right to Rise book library36:03 Breaking the negative thought loop36:54 When and where to journal41:43 The block, and the light behind it43:41 Three things to take away46:04 Where to find LibblaFind Libbla Kelly:www.WisdomWhileYouWork.comwww.Libbla.comEat Nourish Love is hosted by Caroline Carey.

In this episode of Eat Nourish Love, Caroline Cary is joined by Andrew Wallas, the businessman turned spiritual teacher widely known as the Business Shaman. Andrew built and sold companies worth tens of millions before a breakdown at 28 sent him in a completely different direction.

He shares the story of the dark place that nearly ended his life, the moment of surrender that changed everything, and the work he has done on himself for the past 40 years. The conversation moves into intention versus goal setting, why alignment matters more than willpower, and the shadow as the place of greatest reward rather than something to fear. Andrew also unpacks image, narcissism and polarity, and gives three simple exercises anyone can use to start changing today.

About Andrew Wallas
Andrew Wallas is a business transformation consultant, author and teacher. After a successful career in the City, he took a master's in psychology and a degree in theology and philosophy, and went on to found the School for Business Alchemy and the Academy of Alchemy. He works with leaders, hedge fund managers and individuals on inner change as the route to outer results.

Intention

Andrew's Three Key Takeaways

1. Surrender opens the door. His turnaround came not from trying harder but from giving in completely when every other option had failed.
2. Intention needs alignment. Setting an intention is necessary but not enough. You have to align your thinking, emotions and daily actions with it, and that is how synchronicity starts to happen.
3. The shadow is where the energy is. Owning the parts of yourself you have suppressed or judge in others ("just like me") brings wholeness, and wholeness is where real change lives.

In this episode of Eat Nourish Love, Caroline Cary is joined by author, broadcaster and coach Rosie Nixon, the award-winning former Editor-in-Chief of HELLO! magazine, who spent 16 years at the heart of celebrity publishing before walking away to rebuild her life on her own terms.

Rosie shares how burnout forced her to pause, why she now sees midlife "crisis" as an invitation to reinvent, and how she turned her own story into a coaching method helping thousands of women do the same.About Rosie Nixon

Rosie Nixon is an author, broadcaster and qualified coach.

She spent around 25 years in women's magazines, starting on teen and girls' titles, then senior roles at Grazia, Glamour, Red and New Woman, before joining HELLO!, where she rose from senior editor to Editor-in-Chief across 16 years.

She brokered world exclusives with some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Robbie Williams' wedding, building a reputation for discretion and trust.

She is the author of four novels in The Stylist series (The Stylist, Amber Green Takes Manhattan, Just Between Friends and Bad Influence), plus the non-fiction book Be Kind. Her sixth book, The Pro Method, a self-coaching framework, is published this August.

She now runs reinvention retreats for women across the UK.

What This Episode Covers

Rosie talks about her years as "the conduit of other people's stories" and the moment everything shifted when she finally shared her own.

After running on adrenaline for years, she was signed off work on the brink of burnout, a forced pause that made her realise her values had evolved faster than her job had.

She and Caroline explore why reinvention beats crisis, how the stress we ignore eventually shows up in the body, and why the messy middle is the hardest part of any transition.

Rosie explains how coaching helped her negotiate down to three days a week, then one day as editor-at-large, building her new business on the side rather than leaping without a net, proof that change doesn't have to be all or nothing.

The conversation also covers the lost camaraderie of magazine offices, the responsibility of editing for impressionable young readers in a pre-social-media age, kindness as a learned behaviour (and why we're hardest on ourselves), and Rosie's mission to make affordable, holistic coaching available to women navigating midlife.

Rosie's Three Key Takeaways

1. Pause first. A pause can be as small as one breath in and a longer breath out, enough to calm your nervous system before any decision, big or small.
2. Don't make knee-jerk choices.
3. Then reflect. Ask what actually serves you.

Your values evolve, especially through motherhood and midlife, and the discomfort you're feeling is often a signal that something needs to change, not proof that you're failing.T

hen organise. Decisions made from calm and clarity set you up for sustainable vitality. Pause, Reflect, Organise (the PRO method) is the order that makes reinvention work.

In this episode of Eat Nourish Love, Caroline Cary is joined by broadcaster, author and sobriety coach Janey Lee Grace a familiar voice to millions from her 24 years alongside Steve Wright on BBC Radio 2.

Janey shares the story behind her own decision to quit alcohol, why she calls it "the booze elevator," and how her work today is helping thousands of women step off it before they ever hit rock bottom.

About Janey Lee Grace

Janey Lee Grace is a broadcaster, bestselling author, coach and the founder of The Sober Club.

A former backing singer on the Wham! tours and one half of Cola Boy (their 1991 hit Seven Ways to Love reached number 8 in the charts), Janey went on to spend 24 years co-hosting Steve Wright in the Afternoon on BBC Radio 2.

She is the author of the Amazon number one bestseller Imperfectly Natural Woman, her memoir

From Wham to Woo: A Life on the Mic, and Happy Healthy Sober: Ditch the Booze and Take Control of Your Life with a foreword by Denise Welch.

Her TEDx talk Sobriety Rocks. Who Knew! sparked the launch of The Sober Club in 2019. She also hosts the Alcohol Free Life podcast and the annual Platinum Awards, recognising the best in natural, sustainable and organic brands.

What This Episode Covers

Janey speaks candidly about the years she spent "stepping around the elephant in the room" writing books on natural living by day, drinking a bottle of wine by night, and waking at 3am asking herself what she was doing.

She unpacks why the conventional two-bucket view of drinkers (rock bottom vs. happy social drinker) misses the millions of "grey area" drinkers in between, and why she believes even one glass is harmful.

She and Caroline discuss the moment Janey read Clare Pooley's The Sober Diaries and knew her drinking days were over, the cultural and marketing shift that targeted women from the late 1970s onwards, and why GPs hand out antidepressants and HRT without ever asking about alcohol.

The conversation moves into self-worth, visibility for small businesses, and why so many therapists, coaches and founders trained in their craft but never actually got started and what it takes to step into the spotlight when you'd rather hide.

Janey's Three Key Takeaways

Ask yourself the question. Could your life be better, physically and emotionally, without alcohol? Ask your gut. If the answer is yes, quit, you will never do anything better for your health.

Become curious about self-love. Most people pour everything into others and have zero left for themselves. Self-esteem isn't a switch you flick it's a slow burn worth committing to.

When you know what you want, go after it. Don't wait until the kids leave home, or the money's there, or you feel ready. Start. The belief comes from the doing.
