A warm welcome to the inaugural episode of The Lentil Intervention Podcast co-hosted by Greenstuff Nutrition's Emma Strutt and Kaitiaki Endurance Sport's Benjamin Eitelberg!
Firstly, a little about our mission. We aim to bring you regular evidence-based conversations and interviews with an overarching focus on three key pillars of health - movement, wholefood nutrition and environmental wellness.
Kicking things off with something very time-appropriate we discuss how to stay sane and healthy during the lockdown. In the thick of this 'corona-crisis', many people are rightly stressed and worried and unfortunately, it will likely be some time before we get back to any sense of normality. We can't control what's going on in the world and don't have full control on whether we end up getting sick, but there are certain things we can concentrate on to assist our coping during this unprecedented situation.
This episode is devoted to discussing easy actions to help optimise:
• Sleep
• Nutrition
• Movement
• Stress management
• Keeping that human connection when it's necessary to stay physically apart.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
