  • Professor Marion Nestle

    What a loser! Her review that the FDA job to test additives is “too hard so we shouldn’t do it” — is particularly disturbing. She hits me as definitely NOT a top scientist. Maybe get someone on board with a more balanced opinion and a lot more credentials behind their name. Someone that wants to truly make food better and safer (somebody that can’t think outside the box and it’s childish when it’s too hard and gives up —is just a bore)

  • Blind spot

    I like this podcast and have made so many lifetime changes as a result. I like that it’s so up to date, the science changes constantly and faster than your own health providers and govt advice can keep up with. Unfortunately, I think they do have a sexist blind spot when it comes to younger women. There is never any discussion about foods to eat to conceive, to eat in pregnancy, to reduce pregnancy ailments, to eat postnatal shortly after birth, to regulate periods, to reduce risk of female spec... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Most replayed moment: Why fermented foods are the future of gut health | Professor Tim Spector
Q: So could you maybe take the first one out, explain what it is, and maybe start with what you think would be a good place to start?
Spector begins with garlic fermented in raw, unpasteurized honey, explaining that the microbes soften the garlic and transform both its flavor and the honey.
How to use food as medicine to reverse disease in months - the top 5 foods you must eat to live longer | Dr Dariush Mozaffarian
Q: Is all saturated fat bad for health?
No. He says saturated fat has different effects depending on its food source, and that judging a food by its overall impact is more useful than focusing on one nutrient.
How to use food as medicine to reverse disease in months - the top 5 foods you must eat to live longer | Dr Dariush Mozaffarian
Q: Can changing what I eat drastically reduce my risk of a heart attack, even if I've been eating badly for 50 years?
Mozaffarian says absolutely, explaining that healthier diets could prevent nearly half of heart attacks and strokes and may improve some conditions within months.
Most replayed moment: Why fermented foods are the future of gut health | Professor Tim Spector
Q: Where would you start?
Spector recommends starting at breakfast with full-fat yogurt mixed with milk kefir and fruit, then adding other fermented foods gradually throughout the day.
Most replayed moment: How to stop fighting your body clock | Prof. Debra Skene
Q: What is the advice you can give us about meal timing and its impact on the body clock?
Shifting the entire meal schedule by several hours shows that the peripheral clocks tied to metabolism move with the meals, but the central clock in the brain remains anchored, so ongoing meal timing can recalibrate glucose rhythms without fully altering melatonin-driven sleep signals.
