What is Wellness? Wellness is not merely the absence of illness; it is a state of complete physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. It is Wholeness. After being diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis aged 2, I was wheelchair-bound and head-to-toe disabled by 18. After more than a decade of intensive self-study, learning everything I could about what makes the human body & mind work and not work, I reconditioned myself back to wellness, but only after learning that I couldn’t just heal my body, I had to also heal the emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of self too. If you want to heal one part of you, you have to heal the whole self. Based on this long and expansive journey, I created Reconditioned as a hub to integrate all modalities and learnings within the world of well-being in one place, and as a result, here is where you will find information on everything from nutrition and epigenetics, to conscious parenting, trauma, neuroplasticity, inner child healing, conscious relationships, intentional entrepreneurship, meditation, manifestation, spirituality and more. Whether you are suffering from chronic illness, raising children in a world of conflicting information, you‘re an entrepreneur wanting to step into your purpose or you simply want to feel empowered and motivated to become the best version of yourself, tune in as I work to uncover the most actionable ways to recondition ourselves back to wellness.

Ep. 35 - LAUREN CADILLAC - Intuitive Eating & Body Acceptance
Friday Feb 26, 2021
Friday Feb 26, 2021
I was so excited to speak to Lauren Cadillac, otherwise known as Feel Good Dietician – a Manhattan-based registered dietician, all about the life-changing medium of Intuitive Eating.
Lauren runs her own virtual private practice helping clients to ditch the dieting cycle and heal their relationship with food using the intuitive eating framework, and we covered that framework here and spoke about everything from why we have lost touch of our ability to intuitively know what our bodies need, to how we can learn to love our bodies and stop yo-yo dieting, to answering the question of: if I start intuitive eating, will I just gain loads of weight?
If you’ve spent your life battling with your body, yo-yo dieting and hating every minute, this episode will be just the tonic you need!
The 10 principles of intuitive eating that we discuss in the episode can be found here: https://www.intuitiveeating.org/10-principles-of-intuitive-eating/
Lauren has kindly offered listeners of the Reconditioned podcast $50 off her 1:1 coaching sessions, which you can find info on here http://www.laurencadillac.com/

Ep. 34 - ZITA WEST - A Holistic Approach to Fertility
Monday Feb 22, 2021
Monday Feb 22, 2021
This week’s episode is very close to my heart as I spoke with Zita West, whose fertility clinic is renowned for its holistic approach. Not only does the Zita West Clinic help women who previously couldn’t conceive, to conceive through a more natural approach, but they also offer IVF and other fertility treatments, using a holistic approach to gain the best outcome.
My daughter Vida is a result of Zita’s clinic and their approach, and so this episode was very important to me.
If you are struggling with fertility, trying to conceive, or appreciate the mind-body connection, this episode will hold a lot of power for you.
You can find Zita and the clinic on Instagram @zitawest

I was honoured to be joined in this season 3 finale special, by my friend, spiritual guide and motivational speaker, Jay Shetty. Jay and I met through our spiritual connections many years ago and in that time he has not only been a friend, but also a mentor of sorts, like he is for so many others. The lessons I have learnt from him (and his equally insightful wife Radhi) have been humbling and life-defining.
So many people know Jay’s work and have listened to him speaking about his life as a monk, about his lifestyle and beliefs and about the work he does. So in order to make this episode as unique and expansive as possible, I set the intention to really get to know Jay as the person – not the speaker / author / teacher – by delving into some of the subjects he rarely speaks about in interviews. The result was a rare candid discussion filled with honesty, personal insights, laughter and of course ancient wisdom for the modern day, in a way that you’ve never heard Jay before.
To preface: the intro is a little long as I had some exciting news to share that I'd love you all to hear!
Topics: spirituality, purpose, comparison, judgement, love, happiness, life in LA, becoming successful, making it in business
You can find Jay on Instagram @jayshetty
You can also head over to www.jayshetty.me and https://jayshettycoaching.com/ as well as his Jay Shetty Genius membership program https://jayshettygenius.com/. You can also listen to On Purpose here

Ep. 30 – OLIVIA WAYNE – The Conscious Parenting vs Career Passion Juggle
Monday Nov 30, 2020
Monday Nov 30, 2020
I was able to sit down IN PERSON (YAY!) (in between lockdown 1.0 and 2.0!) with my friend, TV presenter and conscious mama of two, Olivia Wayne. I wanted to have Olivia on the show because she and I share the same constant juggle, something we often talk (read: moan) about when we’re together: navigating our choice to consciously parent our children and manage a holistic way of living, alongside a deep passion and ambition for our careers.
As women, this is no easy feat, as our choices in this holistic way of life leave little time for much else. So Olivia and I enjoyed unpacking the challenges, the best ways to manage it, and what we can do to let go and surrender.
For any mums out there feeling the weight of the juggle, Olivia offers tidbits of wisdom, guidance and humour and I would encourage you to put the kettle on, make yourself a cup of tea, and veg out in something comfortable to feel like you’re very much in the room with two tired mums having a natter.
You can find Olivia on Instagram @oliviajwayne.

This week I speak to one of the UK’s top holistic female health experts, Sara Cosendai. Sara is a naturopathic nutritionist, clinical aromatherapist, doula, prenatal yoga teacher and Kundalini yoga teacher. What she does is truly magical, because, in blending all her qualifications and passions, she has found a way to support women during the most transformational time in their lives, to ensure a smooth trip from pre-conception right through to motherhood and beyond.
Sara was fortunate enough to grow up surrounded by the innovators of the natural birth movement in 1980s London and in this episode we speak about how her formative years shaped her view of childbirth and subsequently led to the passions she still holds today.
Sara talks us through why mothers often struggle in both the lead up to birth, and afterwards, and offers advice on how to struggle less at this time and enjoy those early months / years. She gives tips on how to stay healthy during this integral time and talks us through her incredible model of motherhood coaching, and why it is so needed now more than ever.
She has kindly included a link for Expectful, a guided meditation app for fertility, pregnancy and motherhood which you can access here: www.expectful.com/mymama
Products mentioned in the show:
The Gentle Birth Method by Gowri Motha
Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth – Ina May Gaskin
Mara seaweed powder
You can find Sara and book a session over on her website www.mymama.org and on Instagram @sara.cosendai.

Ep. 28 – AISHA CARRINGTON – When Spirituality & Entrepreneurship Merge
Monday Nov 16, 2020
Monday Nov 16, 2020
What happens when an entrepreneur is aligned and in their worth? Magical things! I open this topic up today with Aisha Carrington, a spiritual coach and healer, who has helped me in my own healing journey. Aisha is working to make wellness a more diverse and inclusive place, and to help us all on our paths back to self-love.
It has truly been one of the most magical episodes to record because of all the topics we touched on and what they brought up for us both. What does spirituality actually mean? How can we access it if we’re new to it? How can we use spirituality to help us through depression? How can we use our gifts to call in the sort of financial abundance we know we deserve while helping people? And how do we step into a place of high self-worth in order to allow that money to flow to us as a positive exchange of energy? We talk through all this and more in a truly expansive episode that will offer you so many take-aways and so much to think about; it’s one of those that I’d recommend listening to more than once!
You can find Aisha on aishacarrington.com and https://getlitretreat.com/ and also over on Instagram at @aishacarrington_
