    Oct 23 2024
    In this Nutshell nugget, we're branching into the pillar of lifestyle medicine known as avoidance of toxic substances. We're discussing vaping. If you choose to vape, make sure it's a regulated product. And don't share vapes if you can't be sure nothing toxic has been added. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS2468-2667(24)00183-X/fulltext https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/understanding-the-vaping-market/executive-summary-understanding-the-vaping-market https://www.yalemedicine.org/conditions/evali

  • Getting health on the menu: campaigning for plant-based change in hospitals and beyond, with Dr Shireen Kassam

    Getting health on the menu: campaigning for plant-based change in hospitals and beyond, with Dr Shireen Kassam
    Oct 16 2024

    This week in the Nutshell we have the honour of welcoming back our first ever guest, founder of Plant-Based Health Professionals U.K. and Consultant Haematologist, Dr Shireen Kassam.

    This episode is released on World Food Day to highlight the problem with poor diets globally and how our current food system is at the intersection of the health and climate crises.

    Shireen talks us through the last six years since founding the Plant-Based Health Professionals U.K.

    We hear how the organisation is involved in ongoing education, including the provision of courses in medical schools, conducting research projects as well as spearheading campaigns working towards changing the food system within the NHS.

    We discuss the 'Plants First Healthcare' campaign, which is calling on all NHS hospitals and organisations across the UK to adopt a 'plant-based by default' food menu, to improve health outcomes, reduce pandemic risk, limit antibiotic resistance and decrease food costs.

    We cover so much in this interview- including how, as individuals, we can all get involved - whether we are healthcare professionals or not.

    And of course we finish off with hearing what Shireen is eating for her delicious plant-based dinner tonight!

    Don't miss this motivating interview with such an inspiring person.
