In this episode I interview Fran Dargaville who is a Functional Nutritionist and Yoga Teacher who helps people get to the root cause of their symptoms and start eating real food so they can lose weight, get more energy and live a life they love. Fran believes healthy eating can be fun and easy – we just need to find the way of eating that we enjoy and that fits in with our busy lives.

Fran is a friend and fellow mastermind buddy and she is making a big impact in the real food functional nutrition space. She has an amazing detox program that aims to have you ditching sugar & processed food in favour of real food – lots of fresh veg! She also coaches 1:1 and online.

In this episode I interview Doug Wilson, an accomplished marathon runner, author, motivational speaker and Kundalini Yoga teacher based in Melbourne, Australia.

I met Doug a few years ago when he ran a Kundalini class at Lululemon in Melbourne. I connected with his inspiring story of addiction, illness and triumph. Doug speaks about his ‘extreme’ personality of striving and achieving and we discuss what transpired following a diagnosis with a life threatening brain tumour.

He recently released a book, Kundalini Running, which is a gripping story of how he overcame these challenges using diet, yoga and meditation. Just over 12 months after his surgery, Doug set a Guinness World Record by becoming the first person to run 7 competitive marathons on 7 continents in under 7 days. Doug’s ongoing work addresses some of the most pressing social and health issues that we currently face as an emerging global society. He aims to promote health and wellbeing and to help others to learn how to optimise the mechanics of the human body in order to thrive in the modern world.

We’ve all felt that feeling on the lead up to Christmas, a calendar chock full of appointments,  meetings and social occasions. Everyone seems to want a piece of you and it can feel quite overwhelming and exhausting.  And the last thing you want is to have your holiday to be full of either more of the same busy-ness or to find that you’re curled up in a heap and too exhausted to enjoy time with family and friends. 

So that’s why in this episode I have put together my tops tips centred around the below topics to help you to stay sane over the Christmas period.  This very much includes Christmas Day and New Year when it can be tempting to over-do it with food and alcohol.

1. Self care
2. Sleep
3. Morning Routine
4. Hydration

You’ll also find some mindful tips on how you can best prep yourself before the big day.
