Plant-Based Nutrition for Families | Dietitian Brenda Davis Aug 22, 2021

Show notes

In Episode #153, I sat down with registered dietitian Brenda Davis for a conversation I have wanted to have for some time now. Brenda is one of the most revered experts across the globe when it comes to plant-based nutrition – she has over three decades of experience communicating nutrition science without hype to help people optimise their diet.

With the release of her twelfth book Nourish, which she co-wrote with paediatrician Dr Reshma Shah, I thought it would be a great opportunity to have her on the show to share her story and talk about some of the important things for families to consider when shifting to a plant-based approach. The benefits that are up for grabs? The ins and outs of fat, fibre, protein, various micronutrients, and much more.

Rethinking Diet and Exercise | Herman Pontzer, PhD Aug 15, 2021

Show notes

In Episode #151, I sat down with evolutionary anthropologist Herman Pontzer, PhD, to talk about ancestral eating and how his work with the Hadza (a hunter-gatherer community in northern Tanzania) can help us think about both diet and exercise as tools for weight loss.

Listen to this episode to find out what we know about ancestral diets and why the ‘paleo diet’ is an oversimplification. You’ll also hear about Herman’s time spent with the Hadza, what the Hadza diet looks like, why it isn’t ‘low carb’, and what Herman learned about metabolism by studying the Hadza. Herman explained how we should think about exercise when it comes to weight loss and what a healthy diet looks like at an individual level.
