Ep. #22 Toral Shah: People. Planet. Pocket.
Toral Shah is deeply passionate about the health and wellness of people and of the planet. Professionally she is a Nutritional Scientist (MSc Nutr Med), Functional Medicine Practitioner, Food and Health writer and Consultant, as well as the Founder of The Urban Kitchen. She is a unique and refreshing voice in the world of wellness as her knowledge is underpinned with a strong foundation in medicine and science. She originally went to medical school with a view to becoming an oncologist but when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, she realised that this was not the career for her. After completing her BSc in Cell Biology, specialising in cancer, she worked in research, winning a prestigious Royal Society internship where she worked on SRC oncogenes. Toral then went on to do an MSc in Nutritional Medicine at University of Surrey and became a functional medicine practitioner working with nutrigenomics. This combination of an informed scientific background and a big heart for helping others is truly inspiring. She uses her knowledge and her passion to help a whole host of people, but a strong focus for her is cancer patients & survivors (not only is her Mum a cancer survivor, but Toral herself is a 2 times breast cancer survivor), and combating the lack of diversity in healthcare (currently, BAME people have poorer health outcomes, even when you take into account socioeconomic factors, and are often diagnosed with cancer at later stages). She is working with several charities and organisations to ensure that they are creating more inclusive health promotion campaigns with more diversity and inclusivity so that all communities know that cancer can affect them. In this podcast episode we cover a whole host of topics! From explaining what functional health actually is, to exploring white privilege & unconscious bias (particularly in the wellness space), to her top tips on eating as well as possible on a budget, to the loneliness pandemic, and to sharing her wellness toolkit. You can find out more about Toral on Instagram @theurbankitchen on Twitter @urbankitchen & via her website www.theurbankitchen.co.uk On Sunday 29th November 2020 she is running a workshop through her events company What the Health Events (co-created with Amy Abrahams) called “Your 2021 Health Manifesto” - it’s an online workshop all about helping you to prepare to maximise your health in 2021 (goodness do we need it after 2020!!).

Ep. #21 Aisha Nash: Anti Diet Yoga
Aisha Nash is a breath of fresh air in the yoga industry. Her message is clear, sensible & full of humour. This message is essentially: yoga is not about how you look, but about how you FEEL. After studying Biology at university, and training to be a chef, she was disheartened to see how fearful people are of food. Combine this with her yoga teacher training and early teaching days that showed her a dark reality of the yoga world (that so often yoga glorifies and idolises white, skinny women), she created Anti Diet Yoga. Due to her keen interest in history, especially that of food, she decided to study the history of dieting, and wants to inform everybody of it’s racist pedagogy, and the ways we can dump Diet culture from our lives. This is a truly timely and insightful conversation (grab your notebook & pen!), and we can all learn a lot from Aisha’s wisdom and sharings. You can connect with her on Instagram @theaishanash & her website is www.aishanash.com She’s also hosting a Womxn's circle “An Unravelling of Body Image” - it is accessible with the below link: https://www.aishanash.com/events You can connect with your host Lucy on Instagram @lucyvictoriajacksonyoga & her website is www.lucyvictoriajackson.com - here you can find out more about her online membership Root & Rise: the Practice

Ep. #20 Lucy: Lockdown Conversations
This week’s episode is a solocast with your host Lucy. One positive of lockdown life this year is the extra time many of us have had to consider important topics in our lives & in our wider society.

Lucy covers: lockdown mental health challenges & how she’s been navigating them; the relationship between yoga & colonialism & cultural appropriation within the yoga community; and finally women supporting women & female friendships.
