Do you like listening to short podcasts, where you can have practical tips to improve your health from experts in their field?
This is the aim of the COOK EAT NOURISH PODCAST which I started in 2020, with each guest giving 3 tips to help improve the nation's health.
With over 30 years of experience in the food and education industries, I have a lot of talented people to reach out to and invite as guests on my podcast.
Every day is a school day! I love listening to a podcast when cooking, driving or sometimes walking, an easy way to stimulate your brain and learn something new. Since experiencing induced menopause due to breast cancer, menopause support has been a large area of interest for me and so you will find podcasts episodes relating to that.
Below you will find a list of all the podcasts I have produced to date, feel free to listen to whichever episodes interest you and soon I will be launching season 3 with new guests. The Cook Eat Nourish podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts or through my website.
