Sugar. It’s highly addictive, hidden in every day food we consume and is responsible for the huge surge in diabetes around the world - causing approximately 500 unnecessary premature deaths each week in the UK. By 2025 it’s estimated just under 5 million people in the UK will suffer with the disease and we believe not enough is being done to warn people of the damaging, long term implications of sugar on their mental and physical health. Mid lifers - don’t be another statistic. Listen to this podcast so you can not only increase your chances of living a long life, but safeguard the quality of it.  Please remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.

We've wanted to give up. We've all wanted to give up. It's natural. Sometimes it feels to hard, too emotional, too much of a struggle. That's the focus of this episode. The past few months have been challenging - so much so it threw us off course delivering these wonderful podcasts. But we're back with a bang and without a doubt, this is one of the most vulnerable, open and most importantly, highly relevant episode we've recorded. In this episode we get down and dirty about how we've managed to pull ourselves back from some seriously life changing stuff...and come out of it with a greater sense of power, purpose and self acceptance.

Life has thrown us a few BIG curveballs - hence a slightly longer gap between Season 2 and Season 3. But we’re here - living in central London and loving every single moment of it. In this episode, we share how this particular curve ball has made us even more determined and committed to inspiring you to thrive. We touch upon why we believe so many of you write in to us with the same challenges. Why, it seems, so many people feel lost and dissatisfied with their life and to a degree, don’t know where to begin turning it around. This episode is perhaps a little controversial - but it’s designed to give comfort and understanding. Along with some nuggets of wisdom to support you through mid life.https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/T3YCLPR Please remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.
