Gavin Sisters
The Gavin sisters are an acclaimed comedy double act who have appeared in numerous TV and stage productions. Sharon and Lauretta went from red wine-drinking, Chinese take-out aficionados to thriving advocates of a plant-based lifestyle. Sharon's diagnosis of a rare autoimmune disease was a turning point that led them down a path of resilience, determination, and ultimately, transformation. Sharon was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease just before her son was born, over 9 years ago. She was covered from head to toe in a chronic rash and, at times, was wheelchair-bound. On a concoction of very toxic drugs and steroids, she decided she needed to find another way to get better. Her sister was determined to do everything she could to help Sharon. Her husband left her when she was six months pregnant, and she was now looking after Sharon, her daughter, and Sharon's son. As two single mums living together with very young children, they decided to do everything they could to get Sharon’s health back. After extensive research and a lot of trial and error, they transitioned into a plant-based diet with lots of nutrient-dense foods, gave up alcohol and processed foods. Lauretta retrained as a natural vegan chef, concentrating on nutrition. Sharon is now off all drugs, feels better than ever, and is back running. They decided they wanted to inspire others and, in 2018, set up a wellness retreat, The Detox Barn, which is based in Suffolk. It’s a retreat where you learn how to make healthy changes, with nutritious plant-based food, yoga, sound baths, country walks, digital detox, and plant-based workshops. The Detox Barn was picked by Condé Nast in 2023 and 2024 as one of the best wellness retreats in the UK. They also run The Detox Barn Algarve. They also launched their first product, Funki Coffee, a triple-certified organic Arabica coffee boosted with adaptogens. For tips on wellness with a splash of humor, you can hear them on their podcast – The Gavin Sisters Wellness Show.
