Using Cooking to Overcome Chronic Illness ft. Ian Taverner

In this episode, we are joined by the wonderful Ian Taverner, aka Mr Cookfulness.

Ian becomes an instant favourite with our live audience as we talk about adjusting to chronic pain, the mental health impact pain can have and how Ian turned to cooking to cope with his change in circumstances. Following Ian’s incredible journey from the grief of pain and the impact on his family to how he now owns the stage at events like Naidex, this episode is sure to not only inspire you but likely have you reaching for the tissues, as two men talk candidly about their mental health and the burden you can feel with living with a chronic illness.
