The Sage Space podcastLet's talk about hormone health through the tri-focal lens of Western medicine, Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine with Dr Claudia Welch“I don’t care at all about hormones in a way. I care about what’s out of balance in life”I loved this opening gambit from Dr Claudia Welch - the extraordinarily well renowned doctor in western medicine, Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. If you pick up Dr Claudia Welch’s fascinating book, Balance your hormones, Balance your life, with the expectation of finding a quick fix to-do list of how to re-gain your hormone health you risk a bit of disappointment. Instead, Dr Claudia hints at shifting our perception and long-held views on...2021-09-301h 08The Sage Space podcastLet's talk about rebooting your health with Sara Davenport, founder of The Breast Cancer Haven My guest today is Sara Davenport the founder of The Haven breast cancer charity and the heath website, RebootHealth.When Sara set up the Haven back in 2000 there was very little knowledge that treatments like acupuncture, reflexology or EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) could offer any real value or respite for cancer patients when practiced alongside the more traditional medical interventions. Twenty years later and the picture is very different. Thousands of women have been through the doors of The Haven. Cancer treatment centres themselves now often actively suggest and refer patients for complimentary th...2021-05-2135 minThe Sage Space podcastLet's talk about Blue HealthI love water. Literally any water. I’d happily jump into any cleanish stream, lake, reservoir, sea whatever the weather trying to persuade those around me that“it’s good for them” - that they must “go on and just try it"! And as for the healing powers of the big blue - I feel they are infinite. So I was so delighted to meet a kindred spirit in the form of Nick Hounsfield, osteopath turned pioneering entrepreneur behind The Wave just outside Bristol in South West Engand. The Wave is the first wave park in the UK. A 75...2021-03-2657 minThe Sage Space podcastLet's talk about how we can speak to kids about cancerElaine White psychologistI was put in touch with Dr Elaine Mayon-White, my guest today, when the wheels were well and truly falling off the machine - my parents were looking after my kids whilst my dad was unwell, my husband was still working in Paris and I was going through chemotherapy and the rounds and rounds of appointments. It was a tough time and, like all parents, I was really anxious about how my three boys were. AT that time they were 3, 5 and 8. What was going through their minds? Did they understand what was going...2021-03-1238 minThe Sage Space podcastLet's talk about meditation....Today I’m sharing my conversation with the wonderful Jillian Lavender of The London Meditation Centre.When I look back to 2016 and I was in the midst of gruelling chemo I can almost pinpoint the time when I began to get my head around what I was going through. It wasn’t that everything was suddenly alright but just that I began to feel able to ask myself some of the harder, more painful questions I’d been trying to ignore. And it was meditation that helped me in more ways than I can explain to look i...2021-01-191h 02The Sage Space podcastLet's talk about movement....Today we’re talking about movement and the benefits of physiotherapy with one of the pioneers of oncology physiotherapy, Louise Malone. Often when I’m swimming or trying to do a handstand or even swinging from a tree I’ll have this flashback to when I couldn’t even lift my arm above my head. It sounds totally crazy. But after a mastectomy and many lymph nodes removed in my arm this was the reality and the road to recovery seemed impossible. But, oncology physio Louise Malone assured me it wasn’t. Louise has been working in the cancer field for...2020-11-0631 minThe Sage Space podcastLet's talk about skin....There's no way to sugar coat it...your skin takes a massive hit when you go through cancer treatment. You're being poisoned on the inside and there's nothing much left to nourish your skin. I didn't want to put yet more chemicals onto my skin but what to use? In this episode skin scientist Alexandra Soveral talks us through the proliferation and rise in acute skin conditions and why to really get the best from our skin we need to view it as another pillar of health. As she say's, our skin is a reflection of w...2020-10-0735 minThe Sage Space podcastLet's talk about hair...Let's talk about hair.....Or lack of it…..Right at the beginning, before chemotherapy really digs in and tries to steal your soul, it takes your hair. For some of us our hair is entrenched in our identity, ourselves, our wellbeing. Why else the rhetorical “am I having a good hair day today”?And so knowing you’re going to lose that hair cuts right to the core. So many questions to ask ourselves: Do I brave an ice cap? Go for a wig? Invest in pretty silk scarves?This w...2020-09-2229 minThe Sage Space podcastIntroducing The Sage Space podcastHello and welcome to the Sage Space Podcast!My name’s Victoria Averill. Why this Sage Space project? Well this has been knocking on my door for the past few years. And yes I ask myself how it takes this long to muster up the courage to just get on with it? I’ve been writing and radio reporting for many years from Africa, Latin America and now I’m back in Europe in France. Broadcasting other peoples stories I guess I never really thought about putting my own out there. But...2020-09-0802 min
