As ever, it was a great privilege to sit down with cardiologist Dr Aseem Malhotra, to talk about stress and the effect it has on our bodies and health. Dr Malhotra is one of my heroes. He’s never afraid to speak the truth and take on the big guys and corporate greed. His sole aim is to serve his patients …
I used to be the exfoliating queen. If you’re a similar vintage to me. you may remember those Japanese washing grains from the Body Shop? Who knows, maybe they still have them? It was like using sand paper on your skin. And I loved it. I would scrub away as hard as I could. The thought of it now makes …
It takes a lot of effort to look good for an award ceremony, let me tell you. When I attended the Soap Awards recently, it ended up being an all-day affair. From the morning run to the hairdresser for a blow dry and manicure, to getting my makeup done, getting dressed and then having to be in the car by …

Today I sit down with hypnotherapist Zoë Clews for a powerful discussion. There are very few people (if any) who have not had trauma, pain and challenges in their lives. We tend to hold on to the emotions that arise from this, which means we are doomed to feel the pain or grief over and over again. Zoë talks about …

I’ve always been slightly obsessed with concealers. It all began when I got my first spot as a teenager. By the time I was in my twenties my spots were much worse which was mortifying. I would literally go crazy with concealer, completely overdoing it. I may as well have put an arrow on my face pointing directly at the …

It’s estimated that 30-50% of people breathe through their mouth which means it’s not uncommon at all, but it’s nasal breathing we should be aiming for. Nasal breathing …
In today’s video I sit down with cardiologist Dr Aseem Malhotra to talk about the thing we all love but that is also probably the very worst thing for us…….sugar! It’s a demon because it’s incredibly addictive and pleasurable to eat but over-consumption can lead to diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure (the single biggest factor in mortality). Dr Malhotra …
Getting high sounds quite tempting doesn’t it? Tempting, but dangerous and full of pitfalls. However there is nothing that beats the natural high we get from being in tune with ourselves and sitting in harmony with the world. Not easy in these troubled times. Today Ora Nadrich, my dear friend and also a life coach and mindfulness teacher and author …
I may have broadened the field when it comes to skin products as I’ve aged, but my love for all things organic is alive and kicking. I like to mix and match products and also switch products every few months as I feel the skin benefits from change. Rather like our guts which thrive on a large variety of different …
Oh yes I know, sunglasses are cool. You get to hide away while looking glamorous and enigmatic. And choosing the right pair is like choosing the right jeans or a knockout dress or coat. It’s an important fashion statement. But let’s look at what happens inside our bodies with and without them. What happens inside our body when we DON’T …
