    S5 Episode 52 – Natural Hair Care, Healthy Scalp and Beauty from Nature with Pioneer Organic Hairdresser Tabitha James Kraan
    2026/10/12
    What if having beautiful, healthy hair was less about constantly fixing, washing and styling it and more about understanding what your hair and scalp actually need?In Episode 52 of Alive and Loving It, we are delighted to welcome Tabitha James Kraan, pioneering organic hairdresser, entrepreneur and creator of her award-winning range of natural and organic haircare products.Tabitha has spent decades challenging conventional approaches to hairdressing and encouraging us to look at hair as part of our toxin free whole-body wellbeing. Her journey into organic haircare began in 1999, when becoming pregnant prompted her to question what toxins she was putting onto her own body and, importantly, what she was exposing her salon clients to. This led her to completely rethink her approach to hairdressing and ultimately to create her own organic haircare products.In this fascinating conversation, Tabitha shares her passion for natural beauty, organic hair products, scalp health and sustainable hairdressing, and explains why she believes we need to rethink the way we wash and care for our hair.We explore the importance of the scalp as living skin with a huge blood supply to our hair follicles which absorb all the products we put onto it. We talk about the role of the scalp's natural oils and why stripping away too much of that protective oil will leave hair and scalp struggling to find their natural equilibrium. Tabitha explains her philosophy of oil balancing, correct cleansing and moisture layering – three principles at the heart of her approach to healthy hair.We also talk about the ingredients we put onto our hair and scalp, the difference between natural, organic and conventional haircare and the plasticised toxic hair products, and why sustainability matters – not simply for our own bodies, but for the planet too.For anyone experiencing dry hair, oily hair, an irritated or itchy scalp, thinning hair, ageing hair or simply wanting to move towards a more natural beauty routine, this episode offers plenty to think about. So, if you love natural health, organic beauty, sustainable living, healthy ageing and simple ways to care for yourself more consciously, this is an episode not to miss.In this episode we explore:Natural and organic haircareAbsorption of hair products and dyes through the scalpWhy scalp health mattersThe importance of the scalp's natural oilsHow over hair washing affects the scalp and hairOil balancing, gentle cleansing and moisture layeringChoosing cleaner, more sustainable hair productsNatural approaches to dry, oily and ageing hairHaircare and wellbeingSustainable and ethical beautyWhy beauty can be both luxurious and environmentally consciousTabitha's journey from traditional hairdresser to pioneering organic hairdresserHow reconnecting with nature can influence the way we care for ourselvesFind out more about Tabitha James Kraan and her organic haircare philosophy: www.tabitha-jameskraan.comTo buy Tabitha’s products AND support the Podcast go to www.aliveandlovingit.org/marketplace Chapters00:00 Introduction to the episode and guest Tabitha James-Kraan01:02 The significance of natural hair archetypes and beauty standards02:07 The environmental impact of frequent hair washing and product use03:23 The importance of reducing shampoo frequency for health and planet08:55 The story of how a midwife changed Tabitha’s perspective on hair colouring09:09 The dangers of hair dyes and chemicals absorbed through the scalp12:03 Common toxic ingredients in hair care products to avoid13:02 The impact of synthetic dyes and plastics in hair products15:57 The issue with nanoparticles and microplastics in water systems17:40 The link between chemicals in hair products and cancer risk18:48 Holistic hairdressing and minimal contact colouring techniques22:59 The effects of harsh detergents and surfactants in shampoos24:22 The cycle of over-washing and natural oil production26:39 Benefits of reducing hair washing frequency for health and environment31:00 Embracing grey and natural hair as a form of self-expression34:21 Customising hair colour to enhance natural grey patterns40:17 The role of oils and conditioners in maintaining healthy hair43:17 The importance of choosing natural dyes and gentle treatments45:01 Final thoughts on holistic hair care and environmental responsibilityJoin our Alive and Loving it Community find the loving support that you need to change, grow and healThis is more than a podcast, it’s a movement.

  • S5 Episode 51 – Physiological Birth; Empowering Women and Midwives With Pioneer Sheena Byrom of All4Maternity

    S5 Episode 51 – Physiological Birth; Empowering Women and Midwives With Pioneer Sheena Byrom of All4Maternity
    2026/10/05
    What happens when we lose trust in the extraordinary wisdom of the female body? In this deeply inspiring episode of Alive and Loving It, Rosy Daniel and Karen Mellers are joined by pioneering midwife, educator and advocate Sheena Byrom, founder of All4Maternity, for a powerful conversation about trusting our bodies during pregnancy and birth, women’s choices, empowering midwifery and the importance of staying connected to our innate physiology.Sheena has been a midwife since 1978, giving her more than four decades of experience witnessing the changing landscape of maternity care. She shares the extraordinary story of the moment she first caught a baby during her midwifery training - an experience that left her in tears and opened her eyes to the profound beauty and power of birth.The conversation explores the increasing medicalisation of childbirth, including rising rates of caesarean sections and induction of labour, and the culture of risk and fear surrounding modern maternity care. Sheena emphasises that birth can never be completely risk-free, but that maternity services need to recognise when intervention is genuinely necessary while also understanding the potential for medical harm when intervention becomes routine.Importantly, Sheena stresses that this is not about saying one type of birth is good and another is bad. A caesarean birth can be necessary, empowering and life-saving, and every woman deserves to have her choices respected without judgement. The essential principle is to balance giving women and midwives unbiased, understandable information with building trust in ourselves and our bodies as women as we prepare for one of the most powerful and beautiful moments of our lives. We explore the importance of knowing your body, understanding anatomy, staying mobile during pregnancy and labour, preparing emotionally, and developing trust in your own innate physical intelligence. Sheena shares why continuity of midwifery care and supportive relationships can make such a difference and why doulas and trusted birth companions can provide the vital connection and reassurance to let our bodies relax into their natural function.There is also practical wisdom for pregnancy and birth, including skin-to-skin contact, optimal cord clamping, avoiding unnecessary separation of mother and baby, early breastfeeding and supporting the physiological processes surrounding birth. Sheena and Rosy share the power of visualisation during labour including Sheena’s beautiful image of crossing a river with each contraction.Through All4Maternity, Sheena is helping to educate and support the maternity community through evidence-based, peer-reviewed journals, online learning, imagery and inclusive resources designed for midwives, student midwives, doulas, childbirth educators and others involved in maternity care.This is a heartfelt conversation about trust, connection, informed choice, physiological birth, women's empowerment and the extraordinary wisdom of the body.In this episode we explore:Sheena’s journey into midwiferyThe magic and emotional power of witnessing birthThe changing landscape of maternity careCaesarean birth and induction of labourRisk, fear and the medicalisation of birthThe importance of informed decision-makingWhy women need unbiased, accessible informationKnowing your anatomy and understanding your bodyBirth plans and navigating modern maternity servicesContinuity of midwifery careThe role of doulas and supportive birth companionsStaying close to physiology wherever and however a baby is bornSkin-to-skin contact and keeping mother and baby togetherOptimal cord clampingEarly breastfeeding and family connectionBirth trauma and the influence of social mediaVisualisation and preparing emotionally for labourSupporting and valuing midwivesEmpowering women to trust themselves and their bodiesFind out more about Sheena and All4Maternity through their website www.all4maternity.com Read the Journals – Practising Midwife and Student Midwife.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Sheena Byrom and the series01:00 Sheena's journey into midwifery and early experiences02:43 Building confidence in social media presence16:08 Rise in caesarean and induction rates and concerns20:58 Medicalization of childbirth and risks involved34:55 The importance of respectful, physiological birth44:43 Supporting bonding and early family connection50:12 Trusting intuition and visualizing a positive birth experience52:02 Closing thoughts and gratitude for Sheena's insightsJoin our Alive and Loving it Community find the loving support that you need to change, grow and healThis is more than a podcast, it’s a movement.

  • S5 Episode 50 – Fermentation, Gut Health and the Power of Real Food with Janice Clyne

    S5 Episode 50 – Fermentation, Gut Health and the Power of Real Food with Janice Clyne
    2026/09/28

    In this episode of Alive and Loving It, Rosy and Karen meet the fascinating Janice Clyne of Nourished by Nature — scientist, fermentation expert, forager, educator and passionate advocate for real food. Janice shares her journey from a career in food science and whisky research to discovering the ancient art of fermentation and building ‘Nourished by Nature’, where she now inspires people to reconnect with food, nature and their own wellbeing.

    In this episode we explore:

    • Why fermented foods can be so valuable for gut health and how they may support the diversity of our gut microbiome.
    • How to make your own sauerkraut and vegetable ferments at home — and why you don't need complicated equipment or starter cultures.
    • The fascinating relationship between the gut, brain, cravings and mood.
    • Why eating real, minimally processed food and a diversity of plants matters.
    • The joys and benefits of seasonal eating and foraging.
    • How to introduce fermented foods gradually and listen to your own body's response.
    • The difference between fermentation and pickling.
    • The core philosophy of taking responsibility for our own health and making small, sustainable changes.

    Janice's message is refreshingly simple: eat real food, choose the best quality you can, eat seasonally, enjoy plenty of plants and experiment to discover what fermented foods work well for you.

    With her scientific curiosity, infectious enthusiasm and wonderfully independent spirit, Janice is a true force of nature. This is a conversation full of practical ideas, inspiration and joy and may well be the key for restoring healthy digestion and mental wellbeing.

    You can also become a Member of her Wellness Hub to join her lively community of happy fermenters!
