  • 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

  • Cooking in schools

    Tim stated that cooking is not taught in schools anymore. What nonsense. Both my son and daughter had 2 years of ‘food and nutrition’ in public high school where they learned to cook all manner of things. I’ve lost all trust in Tim since making such sweeping statements which are clearly untrue. Why don’t you actually make an episode precisely on this topic so we can really find out what’s being taught in schools in terms of nutrition and healthy eating!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The 6 rules you need for a long, healthy life and how to cut your risk of dementia, heart disease and cancer | Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel
Q: Is loneliness worse for health than smoking?
Yes, loneliness and social isolation significantly increase mortality risk and have broad biological effects, making social connections a priority for health.
Most replayed moment: Why muscle gain matters more than weight loss | Vonda Wright
Q: Why is it important to focus on body composition rather than just the scale?
Because muscle helps regulate blood sugar and inflammation, and losing muscle during calorie restriction can undermine the health benefits of dieting, so building and preserving muscle through protein intake and resistance training is essential.
How to build a better brain: The 5 foods you need to protect your memory, mood and to cut dementia risk | Prof Felice Jacka & Prof Tim Spector
Q: Can some people with depression be successfully treated by changing their diet?
Yes, evidence from randomized trials like SMILES suggests that improving diet quality can lead to meaningful improvements in depression, independent of weight loss.
Most replayed moment: Blood pressure: the silent risk you shouldn’t ignore | Prof Tim Spector
Q: How does salt and processed foods influence blood pressure, and what can people do about it?
Most salt comes from processed foods, not adding salt at table; choosing lower-sodium options and potassium-rich alternatives, plus selecting unprocessed plant-based foods, can reduce blood pressure and improve overall health.
Most replayed moment: Blood pressure: the silent risk you shouldn’t ignore | Prof Tim Spector
Q: What lifestyle changes can help lower blood pressure?
Regular physical activity, reducing sedentary time, improving sleep, managing stress, and integrating dietary changes—especially reducing salt and increasing plant-based foods and potassium—can substantially lower blood pressure and complement medication.
