About this listen

When did what and how we eat get so tribal? From Paleo to Keto, low fat to low carb, carnivore to vegetarian, vegan and even flexitarian - today we’re bombarded with information about THE diet to follow.

Dr Joanna McMillan cuts through the noise and the nonsense and explores the most popular diet trends, the claims that are made and investigates the pros and cons through both a scientific and practical lens.

Each episode arms you with the facts you need to end your own diet war, and helps you to feel confident in the food you choose.

Dr Joanna McMillan is the author of Audible Original Gutfull and is a PHD qualified nutrition scientist and accredited practicing dietician with a knack for distilling the complex science behind what we eat into easily digestible and practical advice.

Please note: this series is presented solely for educational and entertainment purposes. It is not intended as a substitute for the medical advice of a physician, dietitian or other qualified health professional.
