Description

In this episode we open up the mailbag and tackle the backlog of questions from our listeners.

We do our best to explain what it means to be “chronically healthy” and resilient, or anti-fragile. We discuss randomised controlled trials (RCTs), and how to use the strongest evidence to navigate the field of nutrition.

We also explain why nettles are NOT a “highly bioavailable source of iron”, but that dark chocolate with 70% cocoa content IS sufficient to reap the health benefits, and here both Chococo and Cocoa Runners get praised for their high-quality chocolate.

Then we cover how to eat healthily if you’re time poor or budget restrained, the benefits of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and NAD+ supplements, and we give some advice for women approaching perimenopause - mentioning Dr Sara Gottfried and Lara Briden who are experts in this area.

And finally, we lay out the 12 areas to focus on if you want to be healthy and live a long time.
