The Nutrition Brought to Life Podcast

Hi, Kirsten Chick here, nutritional therapist and author of Nutrition Brought to Life. In this final episode of series 2, I'm chatting with market gardener, chef and yoga teacher Jo Tytherleigh, who brings nutrition to life in so many ways.

We talk about very local produce, modern market gardening, living with a gentle footprint and the healing power of nature. Jo describes the benefits of eating freshly picked food, what to grow on a windowsill, and the wonderful Field to Fork workshops she runs, and the tiny house you can stay at on the wondrous Harewood Farm.

Along the way, Jo mentions wild garlic, broad beans, runner beans, chickpeas, hay meadows, Tamar Grow Local, the Open Food Network, the Tamara Landscape Partnership and Trevi House women's shelter.

Thank you for listening and sharing - and if you subrscribe, you'll be notified when Series 3 starts up again.

Hi everyone, Kirsten Chick here, nutritional therapist and author of Nutrition Brought to Life.

This is a special extended episode at about half an hour - so a bigger bite than usual, but still accessible and to the point. Richard suggested I tell you this is because I couldn't shut him up! The truth is, he's a fascinating man and a joy to listen to, and there was a really great flow that i didn't want to interrupt.

Richard mentioned a number of books including Radical Remission and How to Starve Cancer, as well as the work of Dominic D'Agostino.

Hi everyone, Kirsten Chick here, nutritional therapist and author of Nutrition Brought to Life.

This is part 2 of my bite-sized chat with medical herbalist Jessie Martelhof, who joins me from the great outdoors of a Devon campsite. We talk nettle seeds, berries, wild marjoram and a whole lot more, and I'm now more tempted than ever to sign up for Jessie's Wild Medicine Walks.

Hi everyone, Kirsten Chick here, nutritional therapist and author of Nutrition Brought to Life.

Series 2 has so far brought you practical episodes with tips on things like breakfasts, snacking and mindful eating, alongside chats with other people who bring nutrition to life. Today I'm chatting with medical herbalist Jessie Martelhof, who is camping in a sunny field in Devon and has found a spot with wifi to make this possible. Jessie talks us through her approach, and explains some of the benefits of using herbs in tinctures, teas, lotions and cooking. And we discuss using local herbs vs. exotic imports.

Stay tuned for part 2 where Jessie shares some fantastic, seasonal tips and talks about her Wild Medicine Walks.

Hi everyone, Kirsten Chick here, nutritional therapist and author of Nutrition Brought to Life. Thanks for bearing with me while I’ve been away, and I hope you enjoyed the encore episodes I posted on Nourishing Ourselves and Mindful Mouthfuls – which are important backgrounds to today’s theme of snacks and choices.

A few weeks ago I recorded an episode all about breakfasts, and today’s is about snacks – breakfasts and snacks are the 2 things people I work with seem to need the most help with. With snacks, some want healthier snack ideas, and some want to reduce their snacking. I’m going to address both today.

I'm still on holiday! So today I bring you an Encore edition from Series 1 - it's based on Chapter 6 of my book, Nutrition Brought to Life, and describes the Mindful Mouthfuls process I share with so many of my students, clients and workshop attendees.

Hope you find it useful, and have a great week.

The Nutrition Brought to Life Podcast Series 1 was all about my book of the same name - in Series 2 I have the wonderful opportunity to chat with other people who bring nutrition to life.

This is part 2 of my chat with Mitchie Alexander from Brighton Grub Hub, a brilliant project that brings fresh, organic produce to households who wouldn't usually have access to it.

Brighton Grub Hub are actively recruiting new volunteers, so if your ears are pricking up, you can also find out how to get involved. Mitchie also shares some wonderful tips for growing your own veg, including the No Dig method.
