    Gut Loving Goodness
    Jun 26 2024

    This week the rebels throw open the doors to the world of gut health and next-level energy!

    First up, we meet Monique Farquharson, founder of The Matcha Yaad. Monique hated matcha at first, but after a flavor explosion of Jamaican spices, she created a unique line of productivity drinks. Unlike coffee's jittery highs and crashes, The Matcha Yaad boasts a blend of energising matcha, delicious Jamaican spices, and powerful antioxidants for sustained focus and a happy gut.

    Also on the show we have Ben Payne, co-founder of Bottlebrush Ferments. Ben's journey began in the gym, where he discovered the powerful link between gut health and overall well-being. Ditching the usual suspects like eggs and kale, Ben embraced buckwheat, seabream, and other gut-friendly options. This shift led him to raw, unpasteurized ferments teeming with live bacteria. Georgie learns the importance of a pristine microbiome and why double-dipping is a no-go with these flavor-packed ferments.

    Jun 5 2024
    AJ is back in the studio after her Goldman Sachs MBA course! This week, she dives deep into the world of challenger brands with Georgie, dishing up all the best bits from her inspiring experience with this year's cohort. Joining them this week is Alienor, the Founder of Nuccy; a range of four functional organic nut butters unlike any other. Inspired by the food culture in London and her newfound love for nut butters, Alienor decided to create her own line with a twist: Ashwagandha! An Ayurvedic herb and adaptogen known for it's potential to reduce stress and anxiety, Alienor discovered its effects are amplified when consumed with natural fats – making nut butters the perfect partner. Alienor's journey with her brand is a testament to the power of experimentation and reflection, a theme that Georgie finds particularly relevant. Many food rebels born during the pandemic found a similar opportunity to pause and re-evaluate, and Nuccy is a shining example of a product born out of this time. EXCLUSIVE OFFER FOR FOOD REBELS LISTENERS: Nuccy are offering our rebel listeners 20% OFF their first order. Use code FOODREBELS20 on your first order directly from the Nuccy website.

    It's Sam Beeny's last show with producer Georgie before AJ returns from completing her MBA and they're chatting to two rebellious winemakers who clearly know their grapes. Peter Constable from Warehorne Vineyard, Kent, is shaking things up in England's wine scene. His winery is pioneering the use of a new Swiss vine to craft a unique English red that he intends to rival the French favourites. Tom Holt, on the other hand, took a well-traveled path. After years of crafting wines around the world, he and his wife embarked on adventures in a van through Spain, searching for the perfect vineyard to establish their own wines. Their gamble paid off, and Paso-Primero, meaning First Step, has become a rising star, even becoming the official wine of Shrewsbury Town Football Club! Join us as we chat with these two rebels about defying expectations, the thrill of the unknown, and the future of wine! SPECIAL OFFER FOR FOOD REBELS LISTENERS: Paso-Primero has created a special Food Rebels mixed wine case featuring 2 reds, 2 roses, 2 whites and a bonus bottle for all our rebel listeners. Head to the Paso-Primero website and add it to your basket!
