Episode Details

Our guests for this week are Jo and Sally Godfrey, sisters and co-founders of ‘No Grainer’, a small business based in Melbourne that produces extremely nutritious, high-quality grain-free products.

About Jo and Sally

Jo and Sally have suffered from all kinds of food intolerances their entire life. After years of battles with all kinds of different health issues between them, including chronic acne to autoimmune diseases they managed to turn their lives around when the learned about the importance of gut health. They decided to ditch the gluten, the grains, and the sugar which helped them manage their conditions better and live much healthier, comfortable lives.

But there was still one problem - they missed eating bread! Growing up, bread was a huge part of their diet and so going off-grain was not an easy task for them. Still, united by their love for bread and dietary restrictions, they decided to combine healthy and tasty to create food of their own.

In March 2015, they started their own small business called ‘No Grainer’ and started producing bread and baked goods which didn’t contain any grains, refined sugars, gluten, preservatives, and bean or starch flour. Today they offer a range of products including different types of bread, pizza bases, pancake mixes, flours and much more! A lot of their products are paleo and keto-friendly as well!

“Everything shapes you. You can’t regret it… It does make you what you are!” - Sally Godfrey

• Do We Take Aesthetic Issues More Seriously?



As we dissect their journey further we unpack the question of what makes aesthetic issues such strong motivators for changes in our behavior. We discuss the social aspect of the issue, explore the lengths we’re willing to go in order to preserve our appearance and contrast with how unmoved we are when facing some non-visible issues.

“People, all the time, still put up with the bloating, still put up with not being able to go to the toilet, all these things… But I know that if they had acne and it cleared up they’d probably stop it.” - Sally Godfrey

• The Beauty In Cooking for Love
