I’ve been back on QVC recording a Live Well cooking episode with Eilidh Nairn. We got through a lot - what should we eat in midlife to support energy, blood sugar balance and healthy ageing and how to build better breakfasts, reduce energy crashes, and make simple food choices that support wellbeing during perimenopause and menopause. You can watch it over on YouTube here:

It was such a joy to be back hosting my Food as Medicine Day Retreat, this time in the beautiful surroundings of Knepp Wilding Estate.

We explored how food can be our most powerful form of preventative medicine (which is what longevity used to be called...) – not only for navigating menopause, but for supporting healthy ageing.

Throughout the day I challenged some of the biggest nutrition myths and stripped away the confusion created by an increasingly optimised wellness culture. Social media is full of complicated protocols, expensive biohacks and conflicting advice which makes us even more confused about food.

We tasted some wonderful examples of nutrient rich foods, including polyphenol packed extra virgin olive oil from Citizens of Soil fresh linseed oil from and 's Tart Cherry Juice – simple ingredients that demonstrate true food as medicine. Followed by a seasonal lunch with freshly picked produce from the Knepp Wilding Kitchen garden - the tomatoes were incredible!

One of the greatest teachers of the day was nature itself. As storks soared overhead on the thermals and deer wandered through the rewilded landscape, we took a silent walk to the wood fired saunas, giving ourselves permission to slow down, breathe and process what we had discussed and how we would make changes. We ended the day with a sauna, facemasks, ginger shots and wild swimming.

The power of nourishing food, meaningful conversation and time spent reconnecting with nature....LED lights and 2 hour morning optimisation protocols be GONE!!!

If you're feeling the need for a little rewilding yourself, I have just six places remaining for my next Food as Medicine Day Retreat on 6th September. I'd love you to join us: https://karennewby.com/store/food-as-medicine-an-autumn-retreat-for-midlife-women/

What a beautiful day on Retreat with a wonderful circle of women.

We discussed all things food as medicine, sampled some polyphenol rich foods and enjoyed a absolutely joyous lunch with produce picked that morning from 🍅

And then a silent walk to the .sauna along with facemasks and ginger shots and a dip in the pond with 🦆🦆🦆floating by ✨

Great to be back speaking at this year's International Music Summit as part of the Art of Areté.

I will be discussing how I intergrate Eastern and Western nutritional medicine, how to live well, even when you're working in the music industry crossing multiple timezones and working late; and how to shift the focus away from your body as 'the project', being endlessly monitored with often very expensive kit, to the project being all about living well.

I will be sharing the floor with two other brilliant practitioners; vibrational sound practitioner Tensuhi Storey and Vedic meditation teacher ; as well as DJ, producer and label owner .

If you are there, do join us at 1315 on Thursday. It's going to be immense!
