Our guest today is Lindsey Byrne who is a cognitive health coach. Her career path has been varied and during the pandemic her business fell apart and she had no income.

Already in a stressful situation, she was also trying to help her parents move into a retirement village. Lindsey had noticed her mum’s memory had started declining a few years earlier, and after the move, Lindsay met someone who told her he had reversed his symptoms of Alzheimer’s through natural processes. Lindsey goes on to explain this process. After spending time talking to him, she looked at the things he’d suggested and she came across Dr Dale Bredesen, a US doctor. Impressed by his work, she got her mum on as much of the Bredesen protocol as she could.

Lindsey talks with passion about this protocol and how it is possible for so many of us to follow it, and how just cleaning up your diet can have a huge impact on your health.

She has now trained as a Bredesen health coach; one of only five in the UK.

Lindsey also explains what Brain Health actually means. Our brains are attached to our bodies, so whatever is good for your body is good for your brain. A good diet is key. She recommends the YUKA app where, while shopping, you can scan food product bar codes and the app will tell you what’s in there, and recommend healthier options.

A great tip Lindsey shares how you can gain huge benefit by changing one small thing at a time and if you make it a habit that you repeat - all the better. So when you want to create a new habit, add it to something that you do regularly anyway eg. Clean teeth, followed by a single press up. You clean your teeth every day plus you’ll also be doing a press up each day. Over time you’ll probably want to do more.

Today’s guest is Mike Wilson, organizer of March of the Day ll in support of the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation an event that starts on the 21st of March.

Mike tells us how he became a charity event organiser, after years working in financial services. He describes the company he runs with his brother-in-law, Redwood Events Woody and highlights the transferrable skills which help him raise charitable

He explains how his passion for fundraising events started with his “Mad Auntie Ruth”, and how after her death he was conscripted to be the president of the branch of Save the Children where she had previously been the president.

When he and Woody started Redwood events, they were involved in arranging many different types of events for local charities and then worked with larger corporate charities raising funds for charities like BBC Children in Need. They developed an approach of walking from football ground to football ground or from sports ground to sports ground after Mike’s dad organised a charity walk to Oval cricket ground when he was a young boy

Their love of football introduced them to a lot of ex footballers and ex sports stars. This is how he became a friend of ex footballer, Stephen Darby and has been involved with raising funds for the Darby Rimmer charity to support Motor Neurone Disease (MND) from its conception.

We talk about MND, the various stages and how it affects people. Also, how the fundraising money supports awareness raising, provides people with grants to help fund the equipment they may need, and fund novel medical research.

Mike shares some great tips about fundraising for charities and honing what you do to improve it year on year.

To date Mike and Woody have raised ~1.3 million pounds, and they are hoping to have reached a total of £500k for the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation after the March of the Day 2 event..

Listen to hear about some of the footballers involved in this year’s March and find out how you could get involved to support MND.
