    Jun 8 2024
    Welcome to Skin & Within , helping you find your inner glow through conversations with wellness experts. Join host Claire Gray as she chats to Janice Clyne, a fermentation expert and former food scientist, to delve into the fascinating world of fermentation, gut health, and overall wellbeing. Fermented foods have been consumed for centuries across various cultures, prized for their unique flavors and potential health benefits. From tangy sauerkraut to creamy yogurt, fermented foods offer a diverse array of flavours and textures that can enhance culinary experiences. But beyond their delicious taste, fermented foods play a crucial role in promoting holistic well-being. The process of fermentation not only preserves foods but also enhances their nutritional content and introduces beneficial bacteria known as probiotics. These probiotics support gut health, which is increasingly recognized as a cornerstone of overall wellness. In this episode, Janice will guide us through the science behind fermentation, exploring how this ancient preservation technique not only enhances the flavor and nutritional value of foods but also supports a healthy balance of gut bacteria. We'll learn about the role of fermented foods in promoting digestion, and boosting immunity. So, join us as we embark on a journey into the world of fermentation with the Queen of fermentation : Janice Clyne.

    Episode 5 - Harnessing the Power of Kindness: A Journey into Mind-Body Wellness with Dr. David Hamilton
    Jun 5 2024
    Welcome to Skin & Within helping you find your inner glow through conversations with wellness experts. Join host, Claire Gray as she chats to esteemed author and scientist Dr. David Hamilton about the fascinating connection between kindness and the "happiness hormone," oxytocin. Kindness is often regarded as a simple gesture, but its impact on holistic well-being goes far beyond mere pleasantries. Research has shown that acts of kindness not only benefit the recipient but also have profound effects on the giver's physical, mental, and emotional health. And at the heart of this kindness-induced well-being lies oxytocin, often referred to as the "love hormone" or "happiness hormone." Oxytocin plays a crucial role in fostering social connections, trust, and empathy, all of which are essential components of holistic well-being. By understanding how kindness stimulates oxytocin release in the brain, we can unlock the key to cultivating a more compassionate and fulfilling life. Join us as we explore the science behind kindness and oxytocin, debunk common myths, and uncover evidence-based strategies for harnessing the power of kindness to enhance our overall well-being. Get ready for an enlightening conversation with Dr. David Hamilton that will inspire you to embrace kindness as a pathway to holistic health and happiness.
