Tara applies lessons from neuroscience and behavioural psychology to teach people to enhance their everyday lives and be better prepared to cope with stress and change.In this episode, we discuss the science of neuroplasticity (the ability of the brain to grow and change throughout your life) and the significant role it plays in manifestation. Tara goes on to explain the 6 ways of thinking and provides tips on how we can rewire the brain’s pathways to create lasting positive changes in our lives. Tara is living proof that manifestation works and how we can train our brains to embrace any challenge.

It is truly a joy to be able to share the second part of my conversation with the wonderful Karen Hurd. In today’s episode I ask Karen to explain the gut-brain connection and why beans have the power to heal disease and hormonal imbalance. While Karen often dives heavily into the science, I really recommend you stick with it - it’s so fascinating and I was blown away by her knowledge.I ask the questions we all want the answers to like what would happen if we cut out sugar from our diets, the impact of caffeine and even de-caffeinated coffee on our bodies and whether we should bother taking probiotics. Karen also explains the science behind why endometriosis, PCOS and PMS are all FIXABLE situations. It really is an honour to share this episode and I promise you will benefit from the information!To find out more about Karen and her online courses, please visit: http://karenhurd.comTo buy Karen's cookbook, please visit: http://www.karenhurd.com/cookbook-product.html Want to feel a bit happier?

In today’s episode, I speak to nutritionist and biochemist, Karen Hurd. Karen discovered the life saving benefits of beans over 30 years ago when her 18-month-old daughter was tragically poisoned by a household pesticide. Since then she has been asked to speak and teach all over the world where she educates people on the healing ability of food.Her philosophies, education, and protocol have helped thousands and thousands of individuals heal from serious chronic disease, as well as boost the health of people living an already balanced life. In this episode, the Queen of beans explains why beans are the solution and how they help to remove toxins from the body. Karen explains how we can all be healed with soluble fibre and goes on to discuss the adverse effects of the 's’ word SUGAR and caffeine on our bodies. I had so many more questions for Karen and can’t wait for you to hear the rest of our conversation in Part 2. Where to Find Karen:WebsiteWant to feel a bit happier?

This interview today is a very special one because it’s extremely rare I get the chance speak to individuals who have nearly lived a century on this earth and are willing to share advice and wisdom with us all. My guest this week is David Gilmour who is a serial entrepreneur and at the age of 90 is still pioneering new areas of the health industry. David is the founder of FIJI water, one of the most famous bottled water brands in the world and in light of his work exporting Fiji water, was awarded one of the most prestigious awards being The Order of Fiji by the president of FIJI for his philanthropic and commercial achievements in the country. Once FIJI water was sold, he didn’t stop but began his next mission, to create a company that was an answer to his most burning question, “what has the power to support and transform health the most?” The answer came and in this episode, David educates us about his discoveries, like finding out about the power of turmeric and its ability to reduce inflammation, and learning about the secret power of Kava in calming stressed minds. These learnings along with other findings on healing natural ingredients turned into his latest venture, www.wakaya.com. David, through Wakaya Perfection has dedicated his life to ensuring more people can benefit from high quality root ingredients to transform their health like he has done. He realised that FIJI’s volcanic nutrient rich soil had the capability to create the highest grade possible to ensure maximum impact on the body and immune system. Please learn more about Wakaya Perfection here: www.wakaya.comUse the discount HNP30 for 30% discount on either www.wakaya.com or Amazon UK for better shipping rates.
