What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?

What if everything you've been told about nutrition is wrong? Or at least, not entirely right? In this deep-dive episode, we tackle the mountain of misinformation surrounding nutrition and health, challenging popular myths that have become accepted as truth.

Ever wondered why vegetarians seem healthier? It might not be what you think. We explore how the "health-seeking illusion" skews research and why comparing health-conscious omnivores to health-conscious vegetarians yields surprisingly similar results. The conversation shifts to gluten – that notorious dietary villain – and reveals why most people who feel better after eliminating it might be experiencing benefits for entirely different reasons than they believe.

The artificial sweetener debate receives a scientific reality check as we examine the evidence behind common concerns. How many cans of Diet Coke would you need to drink daily to reach concerning levels? (Spoiler: it's far more than anyone could reasonably consume.) We also scrutinise organic food claims, questioning whether the substantial price premium delivers proportional health benefits.

Drawing from global dietary patterns – from the high-carb Kitavans to the high-fat traditional Inuit – we demonstrate that dramatically different macronutrient compositions can sustain excellent health. The fascinating case study of the Pima Indians reveals how identical genetics yield radically different health outcomes based on lifestyle rather than diet alone.

The episode concludes with a candid exploration of body positivity, weight stigma, and what constitutes genuine health beyond the numbers on a scale. We also explore Bryan Johnson's extreme anti-ageing experiments and what they might mean for the future of longevity science.

Whether you're a nutrition enthusiast, health professional, or simply trying to make better food choices, this evidence-based exploration cuts through the noise and provides practical insights into what truly matters for optimal health.
