Episode notes

With so many different diets to choose from, it can be hard to understand what way is best to feed your body. We often avoid certain diets because of misconceptions where we believe we’re going to miss-out on flavour and variety or find some too hard to stick to.  

Debunking some of these myths today and exploring everything from mediterranean to keto, is Prof. Christopher Gardner. 

Hailed as the Godfather of Nutrition, Christopher is here today to delve into his groundbreaking research conducted for the new Netflix’s series ‘You Are What You Eat’ - the study of plant-based vs omnivore diets in pairs of twins. 

Discover which diet comes out on top so that you can make the best choice for your body.
