Kiri Presents Awe-Inspiring Stories

World Alzheimer's Month is the international campaign from Alzheimer's Disease International that takes place every September. Today, I speak to Tess Cheng who is a certified health and wellness coach and who has a Master's degree in Clinical Nutrition from New York University; about how brain health and lifestyle choices could potentially have a drastic effect on delaying the signs of Alzheimer's and, up for discussion, potentially even preventing it. We will discuss how people can consider their brain more when trying to eat healthily, sleep better and exercise to help reduce the risk of cognitive decline as we age.I think this is a really important discussion because Alzheimer's diseases is a debilitating condition with no cure currently. This podcast episode will hopefully inspire and help people live a healthier lifestyle not only for their bodies but for their brain health too. For more info on Tess, go to: www.glowithtess.com

August is Psoriasis Awareness Month. Being one of the most uncommon illnesses, psoriasis effects over 20,000 individuals every single year. I sit down with Jade this month who talks openly about how she manages this skin condition and the challenges she has faced since being diagnosed in her 20s. In this podcast episode, we hope to raise awareness of psoriasis, break down some of the stigma attached and discuss how care, treatments and lifestyle can make a huge difference. For more info, go to Psoriasis Action Month

International Day of Yoga was on 21st June this year and this podcast episode celebrates it. Yoga is a wonderful form of exercise and relaxation, sometimes misunderstood and misrepresented, but Michelle and I hope to tackle some of these obstacles and go back to basics. Michelle is a yin yoga teacher and has been for many years, and we talk about her journey into yoga and how it has drastically changed over the years and how now she is helping others with their journeys. Above all, we hope we can make yoga accessible to everyone and we finish the pod with a yoga pose we can all try! An episode not to be missed, enjoy!

On Kiri Presents Awe-Inspiring Stories, we are honoured to speak to so many amazing people who share their stories. If you missed the last episode of this Series, Ep 9, we celebrated World Mediation Day and even took you through a guided mediation with our lovely guest Paige, make sure you take a listen. In Episode 10 at the end of this month, I am really looking forward to speaking to Michelle for International Yoga day which is today, prepare to be inspired!

World Meditation Day was on the 21st May 2024 and today I sit down with Paige from Blissful Meditation to honor this day. Meditation seems to come with a lot of negative connotations, today’s busy life culture could deem it a waste of time or only for yogie types. But in actual fact the benefits of stillness and sitting with your own thoughts are on another level including lowering blood pressure, promoting better sleep, helping with anxiety and the all important manifesting tool! Paige talks about how and when to do it, and even takes us through a guided meditation at the end. It really is a special episode. We hope you enjoy listening.

On Kiri Presents Awe-Inspiring Stories, we are honoured to speak to so many amazing people who share their stories. Don't forget to look back on Series 2, Ep 8 which was in honour of skin cancer awareness month. I chatted with the very knowledgeable Heather, a skin specialist from coastal skinthetics who tells us all about the importance of being skin cancer aware particularly now the summer is approaching. Don't miss it! Coming up in Episode 9 at the end of this month, I am looking forward to chatting to Paige for a very special meditation episode to celebrate World Mediation Day which was this week, enjoy!

The month of may is skin cancer awareness month and is this episode I chat to Heather from Coastal Skinthetics in Dorset to help raise awareness of this. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the UK and the rates are continuously rising year on year with the disease killing over 2,500 people each year in the UK – that’s seven people every day. Heather and I talk about what skin cancer is, what to look out for and how we can prevent it. Its getting into the summer so people might be thinking about going on holiday and festivals, as well as going to the beach so hopefully this episode will help people look after their skin and help with the prevention of skin cancer.  For more info go to Coastal Skinthetics

In this months episode, we are raising awareness of World CBT day (cognitive behavioural therapy) which also ties in with World Health Day (on April 7th), demonstrating us how important CBT is today's modern world. My guest Katherine Drew has over 15 years experience of working in the field of mental health and is now a CBT therapist working for the NHS and running her own private practice. If you are interested in mental health and how the mind works, Kat is the perfect and most knowledgeable guest. We have a very interesting discussion around CBT, and have planned to simplify and educate all things surrounding cognitive behaviour therapy in a way which will hopefully help others understand it, and also access it if needed.
