Eat well and exercise vs quick-fix weight-loss jabs.

Most of us know that being overweight increases people’s risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, some cancers and, of course, joint problems. Yet hardly a day goes by when there isn't some new, and often conflicting, advice on diet and nutrition.

Nutritional therapist, Laura Southern talks about the part diet plays in our health, quick-fix weight loss jabs, and the latest thinking on ultra-processed foods and the microbiome.

Plus, the British broadcaster, writer and former Conservative MP, Gyles Brandreth - best known for his flamboyant sweaters. He's a regular on TV, the former European Monopoly champion, and Honorary President of the Association of British Scrabble Players. He's also a wonderful storyteller.
