What is the book (or books) you’ve given most as a gift, and why?

'Super Nutrition For Babies' by Katherine Erlich & Kelly Genzlinger. The best book to read before having a baby and as a reference point and ideas guide for ever after! I have given this to all my friends having babies or with little ones.

When you feel overwhelmed or unfocused, or have lost your focus temporarily, what do you do?

Go for a long walk in nature. I try to disconnect and feel present and not think too much at all, then the focus is able to come back when I am home and ready.

In the last five years, what new belief, behavior, or habit has most improved your life?

Learning to accept and let go. (It's a work in progress).

If you could have a gigantic billboard anywhere with anything on it — what would it say and why?

HIGH VIBES

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? Do you have a “favorite failure” of yours?

Getting made redundant in my late twenties when I worked in fashion. I went back to uni to do a bachelor of health science in Nutritional Medicine and have never looked back.

What is the most significant thing that someone much younger than yourself has taught you?

'It's all in the mind'

Tell us about your business. What does it do and what value do you add?

Nutritional Medicine practitioner- one on one consults, menus, and seminars. My personality adds value as I believe i am quite relatable and real!

Where do you see your industry in the next 5 years?

Hopefully less censored!

How do you feel about artificial meat products and its role in vegan/vegetarian-ism's growth in the coming years?

Get them as far away from me as possible!

Green

Crypto trading

Are you vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian or something else entirely?

Loosely paleo

What purchase of £/$100 or less has most positively impacted your life in the last six months?

Buying marrow bones and making bone broth! Dirt cheap, keeps gut linings well (and heals leaky gut), and keeps my whole family fighting fit with a strong immune system.

What are bad recommendations you hear in your profession or area of expertise?

Cereals and grains for babies! Ugh, I cringe every time! best way to give a baby an inflamed gut and reduced immune capacity.

What's your favourite vegan meal?

The paleo running momma's banana bread! Although that is not a meal! I also love Irena Macri's nutloaf.

What is one of the best or most worthwhile investments you’ve ever made?

Developing a committed yoga practice when I was younger and had more time, now I don't have time to do it every day but I can tap back in whenever possible. Also, a Waters Co water filter which gets rid of all the fluoride and nasties in my water, and re-mineralises it.

When did you first become a rebel?

Thesedays posting information about vitamin C or D is 'rebellious' given the world we live in, so it's hard to say as the goal posts are always moving!

What advice would you give to a smart, driven college student about to enter the “real world”? What advice should they ignore?

Take chances. You can.

You are way more capable than most of the people you look up to. I promise.
