The Mindful Eating Clinic

This time on the podcast, I am joined by Nicola Dickinson to talk about something which was very new to me - Forest Bathing.  Do you need a swimsuit?  Actually, you don't!  Listen in to discover more about this amazing activity and how it can help you find peace and connection.  

Nicola was a beauty therapist for over 20yrs and then brought her own brand of natural hand and nail care to the market.  Then she decided that she needed a change, for her mental and physical wellbeing, realising that she had neglected these for far too long.

She needed to get more fresh air, exercise and be with people again, especially her family and not to have the stress of making and selling cosmetics around the world.  Then Nicola found Forest Bathing, which ticked all her boxes.  She completed the one year's training and hasn't looked back.

Nicola says that almost every aspect of her has changed for the better, her sleep, her diet, how and where she exercises as well as being out in fresh air, as well as her attitude to how she wants to live her life.

She says "It's the best thing I ever did!"

How amazing!   Here is where to find Nicola:  Forest Bathing in Hampshire with The Forest Bathing Company

Today's Mindful Meets with the effervescent Julie Mann.  Julie has been working as an actor in theatre, improvisation and role play workshops for over 40 years but that's not really why I invited her onto the podcast....

As a younger actor, when her daughter came along she wanted to work nearer home.  Julie knew it was smart to have several sources of revenue, Julie trained as a Hypnotherapist, Life Coach and EFT Practitioner and worked with clients from home too and became known as the Habit Fixer.

In our animated discussion we talk about personal awareness, change, understanding and self-compassion.  It might encourage you to take a different look at your own life.  

 Julie loves helping people to regain their mojo and age well by showing them how they can change their habits; mind, body and skin.  When you change your habits, you change your life!

Julie is also an Arbonne representative.  A friend introduced her to Arbonne (a company now over 44 years old) in the social marketing industry.  Although she knew nothing about health & wellness, or the industry, after doing her research it seemed like a ‘no brainer’.   After all, she was already washing, using make up and taking nutrition,   so she thought she might as well switch her brand to Arbonne, buy from herself and share that concept with others, who were looking for a ‘vehicle’ to realise their dreams too.   Find out more here:  Healthy Living - Habit Fixer

Today I am joined by weight loss surgeon Simon Monkhouse.  In our fascinating conversation Simon helps us navigate the different weight loss surgical options, as well as emphasising the importance of an holistic approach to a successful outcome for bariatric patients.  One area of which is mindful eating. 

We discuss the complex nature of obesity, the damage done by dieting to our natural weight set point and metabolism, and how surgery interrupts and resets the body to help people suffering with obesity reconnect with their hormones to eat more normally and lose weight.

It's a really enlightening conversation which may answer several questions you have about this huge topic.  As Simon says, we'd need 24 hours to talk about it properly!
