This week's podcast interview is about exploring the connection between who we are and food. Our guest this week is Carolyn Steel, an incredibly interesting woman and who’s passion involves looking at life through the lens of food. Together Jonny and Carolyn take a look at how food shapes us and our worlds, and our bodies, and mull over how our food choices have a phenomenally important say in the quality of our life experience from our sensory perception, to our thinking, to how we move, our restfulness and calm, our bodily functions and to how we feel on the inside. Carolyn also talks about the need for us to eat to remain alive and this very simple activity can hold so much joy if we are willing to engage in it.As Carolyn says, Human health depends upon food health that depends upon plant health which depends upon soil health.In every meal there is a chance to connect to everything and reminds us of our need to get out of our own way too, letting our ideas of what and how everything should be in order to see what is really possible.It’s a fascinating episode that takes many interesting turns and we’d love to know what you think too.

I Am... Rangan Chatterjee: In this week's episode Jonny chats to Rangan Chatterjee, a man who's approach to life is based on integrity, compassion and curiosity. These values can be seen across all of Rangan's work, as a podcaster, best selling author and practicing doctor. This conversation centres around compassion and regaining the ability in our lives to simply 'be'. Jonny and Rangan go into depth on a range of topics including re-defining the metrics of contemporary health, training in healthcare, and investigating our reliance upon labels for understanding who we are. Jonny and Rangan also discuss the benefits of becoming more interested in our ‘being’ than in our ‘doing’ - and how being more consciously aware of how we are feeling has the potential unlock so much pleasure and joy.
