Episode 27: Golden Recovery: The Athlete Who Built an Empire
In this episode, we sit down with Thomas Robson-Kanu - former Premier League and Welsh international footballer, and founder of Tumeric Co., a clinically validated functional drinks brand. Thomas shares the deeply personal story behind the brand: a career-threatening knee injury as a teenager, a bad reaction to prescribed painkillers, and how his father's search for natural anti-inflammatory remedies (built around raw turmeric, watermelon, pineapple and ginger) helped him become pain-free and go on to play professional and international football.
We dig into his football journey - from Arsenal's academy through injury, recovery and his eventual Premier League debut - and how that process shaped his approach to resilience and business. Thomas also breaks down the science of inflammation in plain English, explains why most "functional" shots and turmeric supplements on the market don't actually deliver bioavailable nutrients, and calls out the wider issues with ultra-processed "fresh" juices in supermarkets.
The conversation moves into his bigger mission: building an evidence-based framework to get natural, functional nutrition accepted within mainstream healthcare settings (including the NHS), not just private clinics. We close with some quickfire questions covering his non-negotiables, his take on "cheat meals," the strangest questions he's been asked about turmeric, and the mindset that's carried him through the toughest moments of his career and business.
A candid conversation about recovery, resilience, food-as-medicine, and building a health brand rooted in real science rather than marketing spin.

In this podcast we explore some of the following questions around Fibre:
- Tell me what spark ignited your drive study nutrition and then later functional medicine?
- Fibre us gaining momentum in the food and drink industry, but not all fibre claims mean that they are healthy choices, what else should consumers be looking for when grabbing snacks that make source of or high fibre claims on packaging?
- What would be three simple swaps or add in’s to your day that will help you reach higher fiber intake?
- There are different forms of fibre, we hear terms around soluble, insoluble, resistant starch. Can you explain a little more to our listeners what this means and practically looks like in everyday dietary choices?
- Many people have said to me in clinic in the past that they get bloating and digestive upset when having fibre. I often tell individuals and have written about this, that it is importatnt to get fibre from a variety of sources, but to increase slowly. Going from having minimal fibre in your diet to 30g of day will cause upset for most people. Do you talk about this in your book?
- How do you manage to juggle family life, work and still making healthy recipes that deliver on nutrition and fibre intake?
- Do you have any non-negotiables in your lifestyle that make it work for you?

Today I have the privilege of welcoming Rae. FWP by Rae was born out of a love for responsibly made stylish quality clothing. Launching her first in-house t-shirt designs in 2017, followed by the fine knit sweatshirts and much more. FWP is all about Fabric, Words and Print. Fair trade and ethical sourcing is at the forefront of everything Rae does. Rae is an inspirational female founder and it is a pleasure to welcome her to the podcast today. Today in the conversation we explore:

- What personal values or life experiences most shaped your decision to start an ethical clothing brand, and how do those values influence the way you run your business today?
- International Womens Day/Month is about female founders. What advice would you give aspiring founders, especially those juggling family or full-time roles like you, that helped you launch and sustain a business?
