Caffeine, the untapped potential of plants and intermittent fasting with Michael Pollan

To kick off the new podcast, I’m joined by acclaimed author and journalist Michael Pollan. Michael is widely known for his work demystifying the food and agriculture industry and is now opening new frontiers in the highly controversial field of plant psychedelics, and their potential as tools for healing mental illnesses and disorders.


We discuss:

·         What should you eat if you’re concerned about your health

·         Why cooking more automatically improves health and happiness

·         Understanding your relationship with caffeine

·         The health benefits of caffeine


Each week I unpack a wellness trend with GP Gemma Newman. This week on Fact or Fad we’re looking at intermittent fasting.
