Rituals have been used for thousands of years and in a modern world that is ever changeable and anxiety provoking, they can provide us with a sense of stability and calm.

This episode explores why we need to bring rituals into our routine and how they can help us find magic in the everyday activities like your morning coffee and even making the bed.

Sharing her wisdom is our guest Jo Woodhurst, head of nutrition at Ancient + Brave whose brand MO is centred around rituals and how much they can elevate and amplify our life.

It’s the simple things that make the biggest difference.

Artificial sweeteners are in EVERYTHING but with their ubiquitous use, are they really a healthier alternative to sugar? Or could they have some ‘not so sweet’ side effects?

We explore what artificial sweeteners are, how they can impact on metabolism, gut health and even potentially increasing a reliance on sugar. We also touch on natural sweeteners and newer sugar subs like stevia and how these stack up.

If you have a sweet tooth you’ll want to listen to this one!

In this modern, fast paced and attention capturing world is it any wonder many of us are finding it so difficult to sleep?

In this episode we explore the rising tide of anxiety and stress, how digital devices and doom scrolling promotes sleep procrastination, the impact of hormonal fluctuations, circadian rhythms and the low hanging fruit we sometimes ignore.

Supplements are also big business with sleep so we invited on Hayley Dawes, founder of CBD based Dreem Distillery to give her insights.

Whether you are a morning lark or night owl there will definitely be things for you to help optimise your sleep.
