Richie Norton: All the Feelings (plus connection, mindset, movement and mitochondria)

Hello and welcome back to STATE OF MIND. I’m Grace Kingswell and I’m a Nutritional Therapist (D. N. Med) and Lifestyle Medicine Advocate. Essentially that means that I’m down for hard core health facts but also lifestyle hacks like cold thermogenesis, meditation and mindfulness and harnessing the power of your own body.  This leads me on perfectly to introduce my guest today, Richie Norton. Richie is the man behind The Strength Temple, a name which I feel both suits him and doesn’t, because he’s one of the gentlest and kindest people I’ve been lucky enough to meet on this epic podcasting journey and we spent such a blissful hour or so discussing life, health, mindset, movement and everything in between. Richie is an ex-rugby player turned PT, turned Yogi turned XPT coach turned LEGEND and in this episode we talk a LOT about feelings. I think it’s a valuable episode for anyone out there that just feels like they want to connect a little but more, whether that be with themselves or with those around them. A lot of the golden moments in this episode come from the gentle unfolding of Richie’s story, his life and the strange and wonderful things that have happened to him along the way. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. If you want to support the podcast, and I’d love it if you did, you can post it to your Instagram stories and encourage your friends to get involved, and of course, there’s always that all important review on the apple podcasts app.   Find Richie @richienorton_ and me @gracekingswell
