Wandering Into Wellness

Honey - The Myth & Magic

In this wandering shortcut we explore the unbelievably fascinating world of the honeybee. From the historical and cultural meaning of honey and how much it has meant to human culture over our evolution, to the practicalities of beekeeping, all the way through the absolute magic of the hive society itself, we have had a MILLION chats about honey - but for some reason this was the first time we managed to sit down and record one of them!!!

How do you know to spot the difference between good and bad honey? Is manuka honey really worth the crazy prices?? Is bee pollen really good for you?

Finn is so giddy about his honey that he produces in his back garden in Drimnagh in Dublin's south city, and you can even pick one up on his shop, The Hopsack's website www.thehopsack.ie if you want to try out what real honey on the comb tastes like.

The Crossing - Damien Wildes, A Paddleboard & The Irish Sea

The personification of quiet determination, this summer Damien Wildes humbly achieved a world first - crossing the Irish Sea from Hollyhead to Greystones on a prone paddleboard using only the power of his hands to paddle the 100+km to take him through the wind and waves.

Damien's matter of fact delivery makes this insane endeavour seem almost humdrum, like he just woke up as we all would and grabbed a paddleboard and went to work. But his achievement is anything but ordinary - enduring incredible hardship and discomfort, not to mention the sheer physical effort that is required to keep your body paddling for over 15 hours.

He's a role model that is required today - a man that seeks challenge without want of gratification or external reward, the antithesis of our instagram generation. Our only remaining question - what next??

Tanya Fitzpatrick - Yoga Post Pandemic

Tanya Fitzpatrick understands something about the body.  Her organisation: Align Somatic Therapy, gives something away in the name.  Somatics is the discipline of embodied, a therapeutic modality that treats the body as a storage vessel for our life's experience.  And as we deep dive on this topic with Tanya, you'll learn just how relevant that is to your health - your energy today, your potential for incurring disease in the future, your longevity and your mental health as a whole. 

 

Advocates of somatic therapy such its most famous child, Gabor Mate, believe the world can heal much of its residual trauma by tapping into nervous system pathways that lead these collected patterns of stress up and out of the body.  Tanya is an expert in this field, and in this post-pandemic world, where studies from prestigious research institutes estimate that PTSD in the general population is running at up to 55%, her message and her method is more relevant than ever.

The Complete Collagen Podcast

You've heard of Collagen, of course you have, but have you really heard ABOUT collagen.  Beyond the marketing hype, there lies a macronutrient that the world has just woken up to.  One that just might be the most relevant supplement for our time - you think it's all about beauty, because that's what the world has sold you, but in fact it's the critical compound every SINGLE time your body repairs damage - damage to bone, muscle, cartilage, ligament or tendon.  Supporting both tissue integrity and elasticity, collagen's role as we age grows more and more fundamental to our health.

 

Nutritionist and collagen fanatic Jo Woodhurst joined us to discuss the science, the sources (yes that's right NONE of them are in vegetables) the potential upside from its consumption, and some of our favourite ways to include collagen in your diet.

 

Thanks to Ancient & Brave for supporting this podcast, you can pick up a tub of their European grass fed collagen, or their new VEGAN Radiant Collagyn at https://tinyurl.com/yy8btn9u - a super smart blend of vegan-sourced amino acids and co-factors that support your body's ability to synthesize its own supply of collagen!!

Two Green Shoots - Adam and Chloe

Say you cared about the world, about the fate of this planet, cared about it so much that you just gave up your previous lives and threw it all into the dream of a forest garden hidden in the hills outside Glengariff, west Cork. Well that's pretty much just what these two intrepid dreamers have done.

 

Two Green Shoots emerged on the farm owned by Chloe's parents and the beauty of the wilderness tumbles down the hill and envelopes you. Adam's deep knowledge of plants means that EVERYTHING that surrounds you has use, has purpose, and is also pure play. Just like this powerful yet playful couple of adventurous nature lovers.

 

This is a snippet of the time we spent chatting with the pair, after enjoying a breakfast made entirely from the bounty their land provides. We hope you enjoy our whimsical post-breakfast wander on the themes of self sufficiency, permaculture, and finding joy in living simply.
