Nutritional therapist Dominique Ludwig joins host Natalie Li to share the simple, no‑nonsense habits that have transformed the health of thousands of clients.

She explains why ditching ultra‑processed foods, eating three proper meals a day and prioritising protein and fibre can rapidly boost energy, mood and satiety.

Dominique reflects on 30 years in the field, how nutrition science has evolved, and why consistency — not perfection — is the real secret to feeling better. She also breaks down her Triple 30 method and the principles behind her new book, No Nonsense Nutrition.

A practical, empowering conversation for anyone ready to quiet food noise and feel fuller, stronger and more nourished.

From the oral microbiome to menopause, and even dental care for astronauts, Sampson breaks down how what happens in the mouth reflects what’s happening everywhere else.

• Discover why saliva is a diagnostic goldmine
• Learn how bleeding gums signal systemic inflammation
• Sampson reveals why diet remains one of the biggest drivers of oral health

Sampson also shares how she’s redesigning the traditional dental checkup with deeper testing, personalised care, and even the use of music to transform the patient experience.
