Welcome to this episode of the Motherkind podcast and happy new year. It is January and I’m sure you are being bombarded with messages, adverts, diet books, and celebrity workout plans.

I also think about my own diet. Am I giving myself the best chance of having the energy levels that I want and need. Am ...

I am so happy you are here. Sometimes there is a topic with a massive gap in my own knowledge. This episode came about for exactly that reason.

I wondered if you might feel the same, so I managed to get one of the UK's leading experts on the show - Dr. Louise Newson to talk about it. Many of you might know of Louise and her work from the documentar...
