In this episode I speak with Kelsey Buchalter.

In this conversation, Kelsey shares her personal journey through anxiety, bulimia, and anorexia, detailing the early signs of her struggles and the complex relationship between anxiety and eating disorders. She discusses the impact of these disorders on her life and relationships, the role of antidepressants in her recovery, and the importance of nutrition in mental health. Kelsey emphasises the need for passion and purpose in recovery and offers actionable advice for those struggling with similar issues, as well as for their loved ones. She concludes by sharing her current work in nutrition and her aspirations to help others on their healing journeys.

Since the tender age of just 3 years old, Kelsey recalls a crippling feeling of anxiety in her life. This latter manifested into bulimia and anorexia. Despite being hospitalised several times and at one point only weighing 24KG, Kelsey fought back. She rediscovered her purpose in life and found the courage to take the first steps to recovery. Having now come out the other side; and having qualified as a Nutrition Network Nutrition Coach, Kelsey now helps others to recover and live the lives they are capable of living!

In this episode I speak with Dr Rachel Brown.

Rachel is a National Health Service Consultant Psychiatrist, a practicing Functional Doctor and also a board-certified practitioner in Applied Quantum Biology.

To the best of her knowledge, Rachel is also responsible for running the only NHS metabolic mental health clinic in the UK.

In this discussion, Rachel speaks about how she has improved her own health with a low carb (and in more recent times, Carnivore, lifestyle). Rachel also provides insight into why ketones generated from using good quality fats are a far more efficient and inflammation friendly fuel for our brains, as compared to sugar.

Rachel also talks about other health and lifestyle practices that can improve or maintain a good state of mental health.

Rachel provides anonymised examples from her clinical practice of patients who have drastically improved their mental health as a result of changing their diet and lifestyle habits.

This discussion is a must for anyone suffering from ever common mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety.

In this episode I speak with Dr Sarah Myhill.

In this conversation, Sarah shares her journey as a medical doctor and her shift towards a more holistic approach to health, emphasising the importance of diet and lifestyle in preventing and treating diseases. She discusses the controversies surrounding modern medicine, including the influence of Big Pharma, the over-prescription of medications like statins, and the rising rates of dementia. Dr. Myhill also delves into the significance of thyroid health and offers insights into natural treatments for thyroid issues, encouraging listeners to take charge of their health.

Sarah is not only an incredibly knowledgeable doctor but is one of the most amazing humans I have ever had the pleasure to meet. It is impossible not to be enthused by Sarah's commitment to health and optimism that people can lead more enjoyable healthy lives, if only they were given the 'tools of the trade' (as Sarah refers to them).

In this episode I speak with Heather Foley.

Heather is a recently retired Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist who previously worked within the NHS, the Military and the private sector.

Due to a series of major traumas early in Heather’s life, including 10 concussions, PTSD (Post traumatic stress disorder) and EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), (which lead to increased anxiety, hyper reactivity and an inability to self regulate), she went down a rabbit hole of mental health and diet research. Listening to Dr Michael Lewis was one of her first “aha” moments regarding the importance of diet; specifically brain food, relative to her ongoing mental health issues. This led to Heather exploring and starting the Ketogenic diet around 2010 and subsequently the carnivore way of eating in May 2018. The results were remarkable. Heather is now focused on researching the Ketogenic diet in more depth, as well as working with individuals and groups to inspire them on their own ketogenic journey. Heather also teaches yoga, emotional freedom technique (EFT) and breath work (Oxygen advantage instructor).

Heather has completed training with both Dr Georgia Ede on Ketogenic diets for mental health in clinical training and the Nutrition Network Medical Certification Pathway training, via the Professor Tim Noakes foundation. She has discovered that there are a lot of conferences and trainings for the academic in this space, but nothing like Keto Brain Health for the people who need it most.

She therefore feels very honoured to be able to offer listeners the knowledge and inspiration they deserve by founding the World’s first 2-day Keto Brain Health Clinic. Her aim is to Inspire, Reassure and Educate (I.R.E) anyone interested in exploring and starting this journey and those looking for support, by giving them access to experienced specialist speakers within this health space.

The Keto Brain Health clinic will take place 4th - 5th of October 2025 in Edinburgh. (Further details can be found via the link below).

Heather is the Founder and Director of Keto Brain Health Ltd.

In this episode I speak with Alison Sauer about home education.

Alison and I explore why people choose to home educate their children, what other factors may lead to home education and the opportunities available to home educated children. Alison addresses misconceptions about home educated children's access to higher education and professional pathways.

Alison emphasises that home education does not limit opportunities, and discusses the various ways students can gain admission into universities, including A levels and other qualifications.

We also discuss the various serious concerns and shortcomings of the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill and the creation of digital ID for children (through the back door). Alison also explains the ways in which people can oppose the bill.

Alison provides details of how and where families that home educate can reach out for support and guidance for home education.

In this episode I speak with Phil Escott.

Phil and I first met at the War on Health Conference, where Phil was one of the organisers. Phil is a very charismatic, humorous character, with a warm infectious personality.

Phil is a lifestyle / health coach. Previously a vegan, Phil later adopted a carnivore diet to cure various health problems, such as autoimmunity and severe arthritis, which had left him in chronic pain. Interested in health for many years, Phil started a journey of discovery by throwing out all he knew about human nutrition and starting again from scratch.

Phil credits a combination of a carnivore diet, EMF and artificial light avoidance, cold thermogenesis and a range of other health enhancing practices, with reversing what are commonly viewed as ‘incurable diseases’. In this podcast Phil talks us through many of the practices he adopted on his road to health and wellbeing. His remarkable recovery led to his Amazon Kindle bestselling book, “Arthritis, The Best Thing that Ever Happened to Me” with forward by the renowned, Dr Jack Kruz. https://www.amazon.co.uk/ARTHRITIS-Psoriatic-Rheumatoid-Arthritis-Autoimmunity/dp/1976938945

Phil talks from personal experience about contemporary lifestyle, diet choices, disconnection from our ancestral heritage, emotional balancing and the simple, but often misunderstood, spiritual awakening. He now consults with clients worldwide, helping them to reverse their metabolic and autoimmune issues.
