Taking action to take care of your gut

Posted on by

From creating a healthy lifestyle to cooking up a simple supper – this week’s guest on Girls Around Town has all that and more to share in the second hour of the show.

A holistic health and nutrition coach, Amanda Whitehead will be live in the studio with June, explaining how she helps overwhelmed men and women aged 35+ increase their energy, enhance their sleep and get back their bounce…

And what’s more, how they can do it all without calorie counting!

She’ll be sharing details of how, through her business Purposefully Nourished, she works with clients to help them create a clean, sustainable lifestyle, along with some of the top tips she offers that help them take action to take care of their gut health.

Someone who definitely practises what she preaches, she says “As a mum, I must constantly remind myself that when I take care of myself, I am taking care of everyone around me.

“And when I follow my gut health, I take care of my body, mind, and self.”

Don’t forget to Put On Your Sunday Best by tuning in to 107.8FM or listening on the apps, on Alexa or online from just after 11am for those top tips from Amanda…

And make sure you stay tuned all the way to the top of the hour – if you’re looking for a super simple way to curry favour with family or friends, you won’t want to miss the recipe she has to share!

Sharing skills at Newark’s Fun Palace this autumn

Posted on by

If you were listening in last Sunday, you’ll have heard June talking about the return of the Newark Fun Palace event, which comes to town on Friday 30 September and Saturday 1 October.

There’ll be plenty of information about it on Girls Around Town over the coming weeks but if you have a skill you’d like to share during those two days, the organisers would love to hear from you!

They’ll be holding another Meet & Greet from 10am to 11.30am on Saturday 11 June, this time at Newark Library…

Just get in touch with Sara by email here to let her know you’ll be dropping by to find out more about how you can be part of this year’s celebration of skills.

And a little further afield at Thoresby Park, five resident makers are joined by an additional eight artists and craftspeople to create the Shine Festival of Fine Art and Craft which features ceramics, fine art, jewellery making, land art, photography, printmaking, sculpture, textile crafts and more.

Open from Wednesday to Sunday during the two weeks of Festival Fortnight, there will be talks, demonstrations and workshops to enjoy over at Thoresby Park.
