— the podcast

One practical evidence-based insight per week on blood sugar balance, metabolic health, and digestive wellbeing.

  • Why the Low-Fat Advice You Were Given Made Everything Worse
    by Frances Norgate
    There’s a particular kind of tiredness I hear about constantly, and it usually comes from people who did everything by the book (low-fat spread, the cereal with the heart tick, the fat-free yoghurt, juice with breakfast) for years, feeling somewhat virtuous about it.
