E.129 How Breathing Can Change Your Life with Simon Lamb

11/12/24 • 61 min

This week in my kitchen, I'm joined by Simon Lamb, who uses various wellness practices to help people reconnect with nature, because as a society we are becoming increasingly disconnected. In this episode, we discuss his approach through Breath Work, Qigong, and Cold Water Therapy.

Our main focus is on breath work, exploring how intentional breathing can transform our lives. As Simon shares, our breath is our lifeline; when done improperly, it can harm our wellbeing, but when practiced mindfully, it can have a profoundly positive effect.

We dive into different types of breath work, from calming, relaxation-focused techniques that support our nervous system to more intense, transformative practices.

If you're curious about breath work or eager to learn more, this episode is made for you!

As well as focusing on the breath Simon and I explore a range of other topics such as...

The power of the breath
Why is breath work becoming more of a common wellness practice
Forgetting to breathe deeply and only taking short breaths
COVID masks and breathing - do you think this affected how we breathe now?
Some people can cry after breath work sessions - why is that?
Qigong - another practice you focus on - what is it and why do you focus on it
Nature connection - I feel like we are becoming more and more disassociated with the outside world - what damage can this do and how can we get back to some normality and association
Men’s Mental Health
Cold water therapy - I’ve heard it’s not great for women
Your own health and wellness journey

E.128 Why We Should Eat Organs with Niall Kiddle

In my kitchen this week, I’m joined by Niall Kiddle, the founder of Organised, the world's first 100% natural beef organ protein supplement. Having Niall here was a real treat— as although our diets and lifestyles look completely different on paper, we actually share quite a few commonalities.

Niall’s journey into the Ancestral Lifestyle began around six years ago, inspired by Joe Rogan, Ben Greenfield, and Paul Saladino. Since then, he’s been captivated by how this way of eating has transformed his well-being, from boosting his energy and enhancing his skin to improving his overall vitality. His passion for the benefits of the Ancestral Diet drives his desire to share it with others.

One challenging part of the Ancestral Diet is the inclusion of organ meats like liver and kidneys. Although these are packed with nutrients, they’re not always easy to incorporate. That’s why Niall created Organised, a supplement that combines beef collagen, bovine colostrum, a bovine organ complex (including liver, heart, spleen, and lung), Celtic sea salt, raw honey, maple syrup, and date—all in one convenient serving.

In this episode, Niall and I delve into what the Ancestral lifestyle is all about, the foods he chooses to eat (and avoid), and the reasoning behind his choices.

We also dive into lively discussions on topics like raw milk, alcohol, and morning routines!

This episode is packed with insights you’re going to love. While the Ancestral Diet may not be for everyone, there are definitely some principles that we can all incorporate into our daily lives!

Topics we discussed:

Why should we eat organs?
Eating nose to tail - what that means and why it is important?
What is the ancestral diet?
Your journey to the ancestral diet and to starting Organised?
What is in organised?
What does it mean to live ancestrally
Does your diet/lifestyle ever restrict you?
Raw Milk
Why should people avoid supermarket milk?
Your relationship with alcohol
