In this insightful and practical conversation, I sat down with Kevin Leivers from The Naked Pharmacy to untangle the often confusing world of supplements.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering whether you’re taking your vitamins at the right time of day, or if combining your supplements with certain foods really makes a difference, you’re in good company. Kevin and I dove into the common mistakes people make, the importance of consistency, and why the form your supplement comes in—capsule, powder, or liquid—can matter more than you think.

We also explored the notorious topic of iron supplementation: why some forms tend to upset your stomach, and how to experiment safely and effectively until you find what works for you. Plus, Kevin offers invaluable advice for anyone taking prescribed medication, highlighting when you should seek professional guidance to avoid unwanted interactions.

Whether you’re looking to get the most from your investment in wellness or simply want clarity on what your body really needs, this episode is packed with grounded advice, myth-busting, and the kind of reassuring wisdom that cuts through the noise.

Tune in for a calm, clear-eyed chat about getting supplements right, so they can truly support your health.

In this moving and insightful episode, I sat down with Rebekah Aiston to talk about her remarkable journey through Long Covid and recovery—before and after discovering Rest Repair Recover and later on, The Fern Programme.

Rebecca shares with great honesty what it was like to be at her very lowest: bedbound, isolated, and desperate for answers that simply weren’t forthcoming. She describes the physical and mental toll of her illness - including debilitating fatigue, terrifying symptoms, and repeated setbacks - but also the gradual, gentle progress that followed when she stopped searching for a magic cure and committed to a slower, more compassionate approach.

We explore the winding path from frustration and fear to acceptance, highlighting the importance of self-compassion, therapy, and connection with others - particularly through the rest repair community and the transformative power of finding a recovery buddy. Rebekah also speaks candidly about the challenges of pacing, changing her relationship with work, and the role past experiences and anxiety played in her recovery story.

If you’re currently feeling stuck or overwhelmed, you’ll find hope in Rebecca’s story. Her slow, steady, and trauma-informed path to healing is a testament to the power of self-kindness, community, and not giving up - however daunting the setbacks may be.

Stay with us for a conversation full of warmth, wisdom and, above all, the reassurance that recovery, just like Rebekah’s, is possible.
