It's special guest time and we were delighted to welcome Marissa Pendlebury to the show. Marissa has overcome some major obstacles regarding food and diet and it's lead her to a wonderful and fascinating place where she strives for a ‘compassionate, lifelong journey where we can view health and wellbeing as something much more meaningful and beautiful than the exact nutrients we eat, what we weigh, or the amount of exercise we carry out.' How's your relationship with food?
