| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Imran Ahmed, founder and CEO of the Business of Fashion. |
| 0:06.4 | This week on the BOF podcast, we have a talk from Jasmine Hemsley. |
| 0:10.2 | As the co-founder of Hemsley and Hemsley, which inspires followers to shift their perspectives on food and lifestyle, |
| 0:16.4 | Jasmine uses her platform to promote a 360-degree approach to well-being and encourages a return to a simpler, |
| 0:25.2 | more mindful everyday life. She is the author of three best-selling cookbooks, including her latest |
| 0:31.0 | solo project based on the ancient healing system of Ayurveda, East by West, which won the |

| 1:45.9 | Burnout is rife, mental health issues are on the rise, the hospitals are packed out, government policies are outdated, |
| 1:50.7 | and well-being is marketed at the elite, while nutritional science is constantly being debated. |
