The Gut 360 Podcast - Episode 46 / Season 4, Episode 3
Nutrition has never been more confusing.
One minute we're being told to avoid ultra-processed foods at all costs. The next, social media is convincing us that we need to eat "clean" to be healthy. And with medications like Ozempic and Wegovy becoming increasingly common, many people are wondering what they really mean for long-term health, appetite and nutrition.
In this episode, I'm joined by Registered Dietitian Nichola Ludlam-Raine for a balanced, science-backed conversation about some of the biggest nutrition topics dominating the headlines.
Together, we explore what ultra-processed foods actually are, whether they're always as harmful as they're made out to be, why the clean eating movement can do more harm than good, and how GLP-1 medications fit into a healthy, sustainable approach to weight management.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice, this episode will help you separate fact from fiction and leave you feeling more confident about making informed choices that work for you.
Topics discussed:
Why nutrition advice has become so confusing and how to spot misinformation online
Why labelling individual foods as “good” or “bad” can be misleading
What ultra-processed foods (UPFs) really are and why not all UPFs are equal
How to reduce UPFs without becoming restrictive or obsessive
The rise of “clean eating” and when healthy eating can become unhealthy
Food fear, guilt and building a more balanced relationship with food
