Episode 60: Stephen Flynn - Health, Nutrition & Modern Day Culture

In this weeks episode we have the utmost pleasure of sitting down with a legend who is one of the most inspiring and wonderful souls on this planet, Stephen Flynn - co founder with his brother David of The Happy Pear in Greystones. Steve's passion for health and nutrition along with a sense of living the best life possible is contagious as we sit and chat to him about all topics that encompass health, wellbeing and the importance of a healthy lifestyle and the obstacles that come from modern day culture that make it more difficult and how we can learn to break through them. Steve shares with us his fascinating story about his early days of how a one way ticket to Canada led him to discovering a whole different world of food that ultimately gave him the fire and passion within to start the food revolution that The Happy Pear is today. We learn about the importance of consuming organic foods, the rise in heart disease and type 2 diabetes from the increased consumption of processed foods, how some foods can affect not just our body but our mental health and the world around us. The world of social media and modern day culture is discussed and how it has changed dramatically in the past ten years which leads us to the topic of how to be more present in life and how important it is to approach life with a positive and healthy mindset. These are only a few of the many topics discussed in the episode and we thoroughly enjoyed sharing space and laughter with the man himself, Stephen Flynn.
