My guest Gary Knight believes that you must walk the walk not just talk the talk, so when his football career ended due to injury he embarked on a journey to become not just a great footy coach, but someone who now coaches others to live the fullest, happiest and healthiest life they can. Gary explains how his research and his own health scares in middle age have given him a genuine passion to help others find a way to overcome their less healthy habits and become the best version of themselves, no matter what their age or background.

Alison is a Nutritional Therapist who specialises in helping women mitigate, minimise and manage the effects of the menopause through diet and lifestyle changes. Her mother was a professional-chef, but Alison believes it was also her own teenage acne that kick-started her interest in how food and nutrition affects our bodies.
I talk to Alison about growing up on a farm and also her current life in Sweden where, much to her regret, Sunday roasts and stuffing are not fully appreciated! Of course, we also explore some of the steps women can take to help themselves thrive during the menopause and beyond.

Trish is THE NAME in Somerset for enticing comedy acts to visit the county and share their comedy genius. But laughter and mayhem have not always been her forte. Ten year's ago Trish was struggling with her weight and her mental health following her mother's passing and in this episode she talks to me about how mindfulness changed her approach to life and to the food she eats each day and is giving her the energy and enthusiasm to pursue and share her passion for comedy entertainment.

After growing up in Devon and a career in the MET Police, my guest travelled nearly 13,000km across the world to live and work in The Falklands Islands. What was it like to live, work (and eat) on this remote island during the COVID pandemic? Did school-days Domestic Science lessons help her survive? Or did a life of shift work and it's associated poor eating habits leave Detective Constable Helen Taylor playing 'chicken' to see who in the household was going to cook the next meal?
Michael and I then discuss and applaud the humble chickpea in Nugget of Knowledge and we also taste test some chickpea snacks... are they really an alternative to a bag of crisps?

Michelle Beck is the founder of the Taunton Independent Market which runs monthly in the town centre. After launching just days before COVID-19 hit the country, it has been a tough journey for Michelle, but persistence and a strong belief in the community's willingness to support local traders kept her going and the footfall for the 60 plus stall holders that visit the town each month is growing. Join me as we chat about fave foods, strange food habits, keto diets and how grandparents play a key role in our early relationship to food.
In this episode's Nugget of Knowledge, Michael and I consider whether we really need to drink as much water as we are led to believe.

Maddie Dampier is a young woman with a passion for salads. After growing up eating not much else other than baked beans, she realised that the only way to ensure a healthly approach to her diet was to embark on a 'side hustle' to create and share her unique salad ideas on social media. With a large and growing audience on Instagram, Maddie is forging ahead with her ideas and hopes what she posts will inspire others to a mindful and healthy approach to food. After all, as she says, it is a myth that healthy food is difficult and expensive! On the Nugget of Knowledge I demo one of Maddie's recent offerings and then Michael taste tests if and gives it a huge thumbs up.
