This week I chat with one of the trailblazers in the health blogging world – Alice Nicholls from The Whole Daily.

Episode 14: Lunch Lady Lou – Bringing healthy food to busy city women
Meet Linda Ellis (aka Lunch Lady Lou) – she is singlehandedly attempting to change the way that office workers do lunch in Sydney.
Although she grew up in a household that cooked meals from scratch, she didn’t develop an interest in food until much later. After a stint working in a busy office, she discovered her new tag “The Healthy Salad Maker” and the rest just grew from there.
Having left the busy corporate world behind, she now delivers healthy lunches throughout the Sydney CBD, to a cult following of hungry workers.
But like any of my Shiny Healthy You guests, there’s more to this story than just a yarn about healthy food. Listen to Lou as she chats about her run in with cancer, and the change in her mindset that ensued (and the weird and wonderful speed bumps along the way!).
If you want to feel inspired about healthy, nutrient-rich food, this is your go-to girl!

Episode 13: Rebecca Weller – A Happier Hour
Meet Rebecca (Bex) Weller – health coach, author, and creator of Sexy Sobriety, a program that helps women to reduce their alcohol intake.
Bex is a beacon of health and happiness these days, but it wasn’t always this way.
From the days of her corporate “work hard, play harder” lifestyle, to turning vegan and giving up the booze, it’s been a wild and crazy ride… so much so that she’s even written a book!
In this podcast, you’ll find out how Bex went from calorie counting, frozen dinners and “plastic foods” to eating a nourishing wholefood vegan diet. Discover the unexpected benefits she gained from eating gluten and dairy free (like saying bye bye to eczema and excess weight!). Listen as she shares her struggle with her final health frontier… alcohol… and be inspired by her successful mission to achieve 100 days of sobriety (and learn what she would do differently next time!).
