Description

In this episode of Changing Plates, we’re joined by Barbara Bray MBE - a registered nutritionist, food safety expert, and PhD researcher at Queen’s University Belfast - for a conversation on what it means to eat well as we age.

Barbara shares insights from her research on the dietary habits of older adults in the UK and explains why the gap between what we do eat and what we should eat as we grow older has never been more urgent. We unpack the difference between age span and health span, challenge common myths around aging and nutrition, and explore how food systems can better support longevity, equity, and accessibility for older populations.

Tune in for an evidence-based look at how we can all shape a healthier future.
