Stress is one of the biggest enemies of good health. Prolonged stress can seriously undermine our health which is why managing it by using breathing, mindfulness and meditation is so important. It can also deplete us of vital nutrients. Besides tackling stress itself, taking supplements to help bolster these nutrients, can be very beneficial. We often think of stress as …
A few months ago, I wrote an article for Hello magazine on this subject and it got a huge response. It made me ponder as to why this was the case. I suspect it’s because most of us have low energy a lot of the time, even when we’re not busy. I decided to make a video about it to …
I have a theory about why women shop a certain way that leaves them feeling they have nothing to wear. I did this for years myself, and when I changed my mindset, my whole wardrobe became a place filled with all kinds of useful outfits. I believe that many of us shop for our fantasy life We shop for how …

About 10 years ago, I was on holiday sitting on a beautiful beach watching the sunset. A setting that always makes me happy. Warm sun, sand between my toes and shimmering blue sea. However, as I looked out at my wonderful surroundings, I could feel a strange sensation in my stomach. I felt uneasy and unsettled. I couldn’t quite put …
I first met radio presenter and now hugely successful influencer, Jo Good, on an episode of Dempsey and Makepeace, when she played a woman of ill repute. We laughed from the moment we met We’ve bumped into each other consistently in our very long careers and are somewhat amazed that we’re still here. Jo became a firm favourite on BBC …

We now see celebrities getting tweakments and face lifts that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars (yes Kris Jenner, I’m talking to you) and it feels like us mortals don’t stand a chance. However, I’ve always held the belief that looking after one’s health and exercising, …
The festive period is a time that many of us look forward to, but at the same time, find fraught with difficulty. I love it because it’s a beacon of light in our long, long winter. A time to get together with loved ones, chill and indulge. And when I say indulge, I mean let go of all common sense …
A decade ago, fat was a dirty word. Low fat diets were the norm and fats in all forms were avoided. When I wrote The In-Sync Diet with nutritionist Fleur Borrelli in 2015, we were among the first to talk about healthy fats being vital for good health. We also talked about how fat doesn’t make you fat. In fact, …
For the first time in eight years, I’m treading the boards doing a play. Not only that, but I’m on the road with it, touring around the entire British Kingdom as well as Ireland. Touring is gruelling, and this tour will be the longest I’ve ever done In my youth, I just got on with it and didn’t worry about …
I think there are very few of us who haven’t experienced bloating and gut discomfort at times. Bloating to excess can be extremely uncomfortable and painful. If it happens consistently, I would recommend consulting a doctor as it can be a sign of gut issues. SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) can cause severe bloating, as can dysbiosis (an imbalance of …
As per your many requests, I sit down with my husband, Michael Brandon, to take you through a short 10 minute meditation. You can sit on a chair or sofa, with uncrossed legs and feet on the ground, with your back upright (not slouched) or you can lie down on the floor or your bed. If you’re flexible with good …
