To see Jane's previous episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNnH_orL5X0&t=5s Jane Thurnell-Read believes that eating healthily shouldn’t be difficult. It is bound to be stressful if you rely on willower. That will always eventually let you down. She shows mindset changes and strategies that are practical, do-able and based on research evidence about works. When looking at what to share, she always chooses unique approaches that you almost certainly haven’t heard about. She understands that even though you may know how to eat healthily, putting it into practice can be difficult, because of tiredness, overwhelm, family dynamics and emotional eating. But you can succeed if you apply these techniques that minimise stress and effort and maximize results. In the past Jane has had a seriously bad diet – at one time she was drinking quarter of a bottle of whisky a day and living on toast, orange juice and chocolate. She knows what it is to have a destructive relationship with food. Jane has been a vegetarian for over 40 years, and now vegan since 2015. She is a trustee of the international charity Veganuary. (https://veganuary.com/en-us/ ) She is in her 70’s and believes it is possible to be stronger, fitter and healthier as you age. Jane is currently working on an online course “Love Healthy Eating” – she has two FREE live webinars in January, so you can see the quality of her teaching.

Pollard is the author of the popular new guidebook on health, climate change, and chronic disease around the world: Eating Does It: Healing Ourselves and Our Planet with Food, published in October 2023. She is a plant-based nutritionist and one of the first nutrition instructors who taught for the renowned T. Colin Campbell plant-based nutrition certification course. Eating Does It asserts that the most effective action any person can take to address the world’s biggest problems is through diet. A whole-food, plant-based diet combats both climate change and rampant chronic diseases, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and some cancers, without waiting for big policy changes, international cooperation, or costly drugs or medical procedures—and it’s free. This healthy diet emits the least greenhouse gases, uses the least of our limited resources, and is our most accessible tool to heal and maintain health, inside and out. This comprehensive guide has many resources, including Kathy’s Four Food Rules, simple tables, for instance, one showing the clear Indicators of a changing climate alongside one showing some of the many drivers of chronic disease; also a critical thinking checklist to analyze anything you come across in the news or social media, and of course, recipes: dishes inspired by the tastes and cuisines found around the world. Nutritionist Kathryn Pollard and her climatologist collaborators dish up the simple science and health information that people need to make transformative food choices for their well-being and the future of our warming planet. She empowers readers to make big improvements, one bite at a time. Just eating can do that! Kathy is the Research Projects Manager for the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) and the administrating officer of the ACLM Global Sustainability Committee. She is also adjunct faculty for the graduate nutrition program of the University of New England. She is co-founder of https://sustainablediet.com/, an online program to help people transition to a whole food plant-based diet, and previously served on the board of directors of P-POD (the Plant-based Prevention Of Disease conference series) for eight years. Kathy holds an MS with honors in Applied Clinical Nutrition from NY Chiropractic College and a BA in Mass Communications from the University of California, Berkeley.

Lisle, Ph.D.is the co-author of The Pleasure Trap available here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1570671974?tag=onamzchefajsh-20&linkCode=ssc&creativeASIN=1570671974&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.1GNPDCAG4A86S Dr. Doug Lisle is an evolutionary psychologist and co-author of The Pleasure Trap: Mastering the Hidden Force that Undermines Health and Happiness. He and his colleagues (Jennifer Howk and Richard Seidel) have developed a revolutionary method for approaching life challenges and improving self-confidence and self-esteem. They describe their approach as Esteem Dynamics — an approach with clinical insights derived from evolutionary psychology. Central figures having major influence on the development of Esteem Dynamics include Richard Dawkins, John Tooby and Leda Cosmides, David Buss, Robert Trivers, Steven Pinker, and Geoffrey Miller. All of these individuals are considered world-leading theorists in evolutionary theory and human psychology. Somewhat surprisingly, insights from these trailblazers has yet to reach mainstream clinical psychology, and thus major advances stemming from some of the world’s greatest thinkers have yet to be systematically applied to problems of helping people improve their lives. Esteem Dynamics is the first such effort, and weds Dr. Lisle’s 30-years of clinical experience to the deep insights into human nature only recently available via evolutionary psychology. Dr. Lisle received his undergraduate education from the University of California, San Diego. He completed his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Virginia, and was then appointed Lecturer in Psychology at Stanford University. His research and clinical interests include health and wellness, self-esteem, relationship satisfaction, the treatment of anxiety and depression, the genetics of individual differences, and optimizing achievement motivation. In addition to his work with Esteem Dynamics, Dr. Lisle lectures widely on health and wellness. Dr Lisle is available at selected days and times for a one-to-one, personal phone consultation: https://drdouglisle.as.me/schedule.php
