So frustrated with Jamie Oliver’s health campaign. I went to his cafe in Oxford street John Lewis. Everything was full of sugar, no health alternatives used- maple syrup, coconut sugar etc… And when I ordered the fresh health juice I asked why it was comping out a bottle. It was a shop bought, sugar filled juice…

I also love the guests, and I hope 2026 brings even more authenticity and inspiring stories from people who have begun again, particularly in midlife. There are so many of us in midlife who have changed our l... more
