Ozempic, UPFs & The Problem With Diet Shortcuts with Rhiannon Lambert

Most of us grew up surrounded by a whirlwind of food rules. From diet culture telling us to cut carbs and count every calorie, to wellness trends convincing us that only green juices and almond flour are the path to health,it's no wonder we now feel totally disconnected from how to actually nourish our bodies. So much of nutrition advice is either unscientific, over-simplified, or just plain wrong. So today, I’m joined by someone who’s made it her mission to cut through the noise. Rhiannon Lambe...

Sir Richard Branson: What We've All Got Wrong About 'Doing Less Better' [Bonus]

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat down to record this podcast and been told to “do less better”, that focusing on one thing is the only route to success in a career, whilst knowing that it’s no secret that I love pursuing new things.
