Ursula is a vegan chef who caters for bespoke health retreats around the world and is passionate about helping people keep on track with a healthy lifestyle after a detox. 

In this episode we talk about the best farmers markets around London, why you need to get breakfast right, the wonders of cinnamon, how your food choices are directly influenced by your gut microbiome, why doing a detox is not the best way to achieve long-lasting weight loss, Sun Chlorella, why you should eat more beans, and why you wake up at 2 in the morning. 

All the while trying our hardest to get sued by Coca-Cola, McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, or Twirl  :-D 

And here is a little gift to our listeners, Ursula has given us the recipe to the Lucuma pudding mentioned in this episode:

-          1 can of full fat coconut milk 

-          130 g of Lucuma powder (from any health food shop)

-          A ripe Haas avocado 

-          ½ tsp vanilla extract 

-          A pinch of sea salt 

Blend everything in a high speed blender until smooth. Scoop and divide into ramekins. Let rest in the fridge until it’s time to serve. Pimp them up with some toppings: toasted coconut flakes, raw cacao nibs, freeze-dried raspberry bits.
