Plant sources of omega 3 are a poor choice. Sorry to break that to you but, they are! There is a very distinct reason for this and also, thankfully, an easy way to counter this I you do follow a plant based diet. 
PART 1 - PART 2 to follow soon. This first episode of season 5 is an absolute belter!! I welcome my good friend Dr Alex Richardson from Oxford University and the charity 'Food and Behaviour Research' to discuss her specialist field - omega 3 fatty acids, particularly in brain function. But as is always the case with me and Alex, the conversation goes far far broader. Part 2 will follow in a week or so. The content on this episode is absolutely incredible with some mind blowing 'ahaaa' moments.

I had a question on instagram asking how we should support our immunity going into the autumn. Well, whatever the season, the recommendations remain the same. Here I share my top four natural products to support immunity. We go down the rabbit hole a fair bit in this one!
I often get asked "how do I get my husband/wife/kids to eat better when they won't even try healthy food". I have a sure fire tactic that works a charm and doesn't case dinnertime warfare. 
This listener question is a common one. How does someone go about reducing belly fat post menopause? Well, the actual recommendations in practice are very simple.....we just need to understand the why, and that is what this session outlines. 
This listener question is a tricky one. 'Can nutrition assist with long COVID recovery'? As this is a novel virus and we still no very little about it, any answer would be an educated guess. That being said, working from the point of view of how I would work with a patient with Post Viral Syndrome, improving mitochondrial sufficiency can deliver some rapid symptomatic relief in the early stages and this will be my focus in this answer. 
I had 6 people ask me this on the same day so thought I would do a short snappy nugget on it The short answer....supplements! Find out the how and the why. 
Welcome along to the new season. We're baaaaaaaack!!! In the first episode of the new season I am bringing on my friend Dr Gemma Newman. Gemma is a GP, practicing medicine for 17 years, and teacher on my 'Diploma in Culinary Medicine'. Gemma is a vocal advocate for a whole food plant based diet which has become a core part of her clinical practice. This is a great start to the new season :o)
Is Food Medicine?

Is Food Medicine?

2021-04-2013:21

Is food medicine? Thats a big question and it is oddly a battle that has been raging for a couple of decades now. I have a firm view that diet and lifestyle is an important part of the overall therapeutic spectrum of someones management of or recovery from disease. But what do YOU think on this?
Vitamin D and Immunity

Vitamin D and Immunity

2021-02-0112:58

There has been a huge amount of talk about vitamin D in the last 12 months, particularly in the context of supporting our immune system. But do you know HOW and what it does?  In this short nugget, I give you the lowdown. 
I am joined once again by popular guest Dr Alan Desmond - Consultant Gastroenterologist and advocate of a plant based diet. To mark the release of his new book, Alan joins me to discuss the broad impact and power that increasing the amount of plants in the diet can have. As always we go down the rabbit hole and really get into the detail. Another fascinating session. 
Sarah Macklin is a high flying model, turned nutritionist that, like me is an omega 3 nerd, and has a passion for guiding people in the fashion industry towards better health and healthier relationships with food. Her NPO The Be Well Collective is a wonderful organisation that does just this. What I like about it particularly is that it rapidly moved beyond just the fashion industry, and is becoming an important resource for young adults across the board
I have received so many messages in the last week or two from people who have found that they are starting to lose their way again as the headlines begin to tell tales of despair and uncertainty. These dark and challenging times are pulling many people off track and many of us are losing our commitment to a healthier lifestyle, and turning to old habits to find comfort. The simple act of remembering why you started, re tapping into the emotions that accompanied that will be your rocket fuel that will help you to break through.
Emily English is, in my opinion, the best up and coming nutritionist on the circuit at the moment. Her insight into nutrigenetics, epigenetic and nutritional biochemistry just blow me away, and it is not often I say that! In this fascinating session we cover the shortcomings of many common home tests, but also look at the level of clinical insight that can be gained from regulated clinician only testing that Emily offers in her clinic. A fascinating session for the nutrition nerds!
ME and Chronic Fatigue affect millions across the globe and the symptoms can be debilitating and life altering. But how do we even begin to to manage and improve this multi system and complex condition? This podcast explores they why's and the how's.Lauren Windas is a Nutritionist that specialises in working with this, and has a very personal experience with it, having suffered with and battled through it herself. This is a FASCINATING session, and a great start to the new season of the podcast. You won't want to miss this one!!Find Lauren at: Instagram: @laurenwindasnutritionistOnline at: https://www.laurenwindas.com
This episode I am joined by Consultant Gastroenterologist Dr Alan Desmond. We discuss the role that the gut microbiome plays in developing and supporting our immune system. We also discuss a few gut myths such as serotonin in the gut being unrelated to depression, and that gluten isn't a universal poison. We also take a few listener questions. Apologies for my microphone - new system that I am still getting used to. Thankfully Alan chats for most of it!
In this episode I am joined by Cardiologist and outspoken Nutritional Medicine advocate Dr Aseem Malhotra. A storm is brewing in the health of our nation. For a long time in burned quietly slowly causing more and more damage. Now that COVID 19 has hit we have started to get an acute awakening as to the true price of poor metabolic health - something so prevalent in our population. What causes this, why is it firing the flame of COVID 19 and burdening our healthcare system, and what if anything can we do about it?Be sure to check out Aseem's work on the web: http://doctoraseem.com 
With so much conflicting dietary advice, divided opinion, and contradiction, what SHOULD we be eating and doing from a dietary perspective? The truth is NOBODY knows. What we do know however is how our modern diet is killing us. What if we flipped that on. its head and did the opposite. What would that look like and what could happen? Beats made for the podcast courtesy of Trauma 74http://www.themedicinalchef.co.uk

If there is one question I get more than any other on social media it is "how do I know what to look for with nutritional supplements? How do I choose a good one?". Well, this episode answers that very question. We cover:Determining your needsWatch out for these ingredientsKnow this about dosage rangesInsist on THESE manufacturing standardsIf they don't have this certificate, bin themAnd a whole lot more.If you find this useful, please do share with a friend too.
