Description

Guts & Glory with Lucy Williamson. In this week’s bonus episode of Gut the System I am joined by the extremely knowledgable and deeply passionate Lucy Williamson.

Lucy is an award-winning Registered Nutritionist but intriguingly also a former Vet with over 30 years’ experience across health, food, and farming. Since becoming a nutritionist Lucy has founded The Gut Project, a project to help in the sharing of an evidence-based approaches to nutrition, bringing whole health back to its roots - through soil, nutrient-dense food, and the gut microbiome. Lucy also recently launched a Gut Health learning platform that empowers individuals, to make food choices that benefit both personal health and planetary well-being. As you will hear, Lucy is a passionate advocate for climate-positive farmers and growers and goes to great lengths to provide public-facing nutrition support.

Lucy and I talk through a whole host of topic related to our guts, what we are eating and more crucially what we are not eating and how to navigate through some of media disinformation and actually as it turns out positive media attention too. With Lucy’s background in veterinarian medicine she is able to bring a extremely considered a holistic view to the world of nutrition, really addressing the root cause of systemic issues but still providing solutions, that not only benefit our guts but also nature and farms.

I met Lucy in the lovely Hertfordshire village of Sarratt, where with Rory (Scottish spelling) the dog, we took a lovely meandering walk through the Hertfordshire countryside. I really enjoyed talking Lucy and spoiler alert I am eating some grains again! Enjoy.
