Scottish Eatwell Guide, and eating well for menopause

Episode notes

Meet the nutritionist team behind the first ever Scottish Eatwell Guide. The guide is designed to reflect how foods grown and produced in Scotland fit into a healthy balanced diet. It is co-produced by Scottish Regional Food Tourism Ambassador Dr Laura Wyness and Dr Suzanne Fletcher of community nutrition social enterprise Nutrition Scotland.

Laura has also written a book called Eating Well for Menopause, so the chat also delves into how diet and nutrition can support women living through menopause.
