In the pursuit of wholeness in our wellbeing, I spoke with Vanessa Gillespie, Jungian Psychoanalyst, about our emotional, mental and spiritual health through a Jungian lens.

What became abundantly clear is just how much our subconscious runs the show, and how Jungian Analysis provides frameworks for living a free and fulfilled life.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• What the psyche is, and why your unconscious matters
• How the shadow self quietly runs your life (until you face it)
• The ways we project our inner world onto others
• What causes psychological complexes and how they show up in behavior
• How to spot unconscious patterns in yourself and the people around you
• What individuation means
• How Jungian dream analysis reveals about your inner and outer world
• A real client dream, and Vanessa’s step-by-step interpretation
• What archetypes are, and how they shape your identity and desires
• The role of the collective unconscious
• Key figures in depth psychology and how their ideas shape therapy today
• What Carl Jung discovered about the human psyche
• How Vanessa’s own Jungian Analysis changed her life, and led her to become an analyst

In this episode, Mr James Kinross reframes my understanding of "gut health".

He takes me into the evolving world of microbiome science, explains our ‘internal climate crisis’ and how we can heal ourselves with surprising lifestyle shifts.

Mr James Kinross is an expert in the microbiome, a researcher into probiotic and prebiotic therapies for colonic health, and is a Colorectal Surgeon at OneWellbeck Digestive Health. He is also a senior lecturer at Imperial College London and has published over 60 peer-reviewed papers.

We uncover:

• What ‘the microbiome’ actually is
• Why it’s unlocked a new understanding of medical science
• How we are just at the start of our understanding of how the microbiome can help us heal and what it affects
• How the paradigm of medicine and the scientific process is changing - we need to think differently
• How to have a healthy microbiome in modern day life
• The different approaches to helping people’s gut health
• What we don’t know yet (and that people are pretending to know)
• Insight into antibiotics
• That we are in an “infodemic”
• What James means by an “internal climate crisis” when it comes to our microbial ecosystem
• How being in nature, having fun, and connecting with people (including kissing people) willl benefit your health.

Mr James Kinross is a lover of adventure and explorer of the world and of science. He is a curious respecter of different ideas when it comes to healing from the inside - out.

I am very lucky to be able to have these conversations with him, and I’m very excited for you to learn from him too.

John
