Dan on Cambridge 105 📻 - A calorie is obviously not a calorie! I joined Alex Elbro for our monthly slot on her radio show to talk about a topic that I think is really important - calories matter less to our health than the food that makes up the calories. As humans we are not just physics, we are also biology! This means that we respond in different hormonal ways to the food we eat, not just the amount of energy in the food. Sounds not too controversial, but the diet industry makes a fortune by...

Living abroad, I realised how sick the UK is 🚿🥩 Olly Leicester l Ep. #048 Olly Leicester was a joy to talk with. He is an active member of the UK Low Carb community and has been a great member of the Wolf Pack, our group extended fasts. We discussed his experiences abroad and how exposure to Asian cultures awoke him to the metabolic disaster in the UK today. He became a PHC ambassador and now helps NHS patients as a social prescriber. Unfortunately we had a delay on the call which meant that p...

Gary Taubes - Is Veganism healthy for us? 🥬🥦 @garytaubes l Ep. #046 Part 2 of my conversation with Gary Taubes who I think you would agree with on fire in part 1 is now talking with me about veganism and whether it is advisable to eat a plant based diet. We also played a round of devil's advocate and answered the questions you gave me in my Facebook group UK Low Carb .

THE case for Keto 📙🖋 @garytaubes l Ep. #045 Gary was just brilliant, but then I would say that as I agreed with him - and that is at the heart of so much science. Paradigms are so incredibly difficult to shift and it was fascinating to learn how the current paradigm is so ingrained into a belief system. Infact as my background is politics I am always interested how journalism in politics is seen as a healthy thing, providing checks and balances whereas science self regulates itself. His book T...

Alex Elbro and I had another chat on my favourite radio station Cambridge 105. This time I decided to bring up the story of the evolution of us. How did we become what we are today and can we learn anything about what we should eat based on our evolution by natural selection. I hope you enjoy this show and if you would like to join in the conversation then come and join our Facebook group - UK Low Carb.

Here is part 2 of my chat with Daisy Brackenhall on her podcast Keto Woman. We discussed politics this time and how we not only can bring about change, but how we must do so as citizens of our countries. If you like this little clip then please head over to listen to Keto Woman on all podcast apps. It's a brilliant show and being asked to come on a show with Daisy was a real privilege as it was one of the first keto podcasts I listened to.

Today I’m joined by Debra Scott. Debra is a member of the amazing forum Diabetes.co.uk which is, in my opinion, the greatest democratisation of the Diabetes community in the Uk, maybe the world. Just think before the internet - hundreds of thousands of individuals would be separated and alone, whereas as a community they get to take back control of their health and their lives. It’s inspirational to say the least. If you would like to attend Dr Malhotra's event on the 30th Jan then here is a lin...

I was so honoured that Dr Ken Berry joined me this week for a chat about his story but also evolution and how broken the current paradigm is. Dr Ken is a brave warrior in the frontline of the nutrition debate who will not let emotion or opinion get in the way of objectivity in science and evidence based health. I was fascinated by what he had to say and know you will love this podcast too. Have a great weekend and where-ever you are, stay safe. Dan Greef Dr Ken Berry online YouTube Website Faceb...

One of the highlights of 2020 was getting to meet and befriend Eranda. We recorded this chat in June and it's taken a while to get it up, sorry Eranda!

He also talks about the reality of cholesterol and gives some wonderful advice about how you can change your life too. Please vote for UK LOW CARB in the podcasting for business awards?

Katie Caldesi joined me for this penultimate Christmas podcast. She has just written and published a new cookbook called The Caldesi Low-Carb Christmas.

This is a very different Tuesday episode. I am involved in local politics and I decided to record a short speech I gave about the post Brexit US UK trade deal. This is not a partisan speech but rather a reflection on the food standards most of us take for granted and what we could potentially lose in a future US trade deal.

Wow, is all I can say after this special episode with Lucy Brown who is a coach and consultant who helps people to improve their lives. Ok, I will say a bit more as I can't help myself! Lucy takes me through the GC index, an assessment that showed me how I tick where my strengths, and challenges are. I found this so interesting and it made me reaccess my time at school and university, how I work in teams and what I am good at and where I could learn to adapt to others. I found it genuinely fasci...
