This week, we unpack the science behind one of social media's biggest diet trends, answer your questions on kiwis, Brazil nuts and hemp seeds, explore gut testing for eczema, discuss fibre timing and beetroot juice for blood pressure, and separate nutrition myths from genuinely useful advice.

Can a five-minute walk every hour really make you happier and more productive? Why are scientists warning that today's under-50s may be ageing faster than previous generations? And have we finally reached peak protein?

This week, we unpack the latest research on movement, biological ageing and early-onset cancer, explore the Dutch tradition helping raise some of the happiest children in the world, and ask whether the protein obsession has gone too far—from "protein washing" to a global whey shortage.

Can certain foods really boost the hormones linked to appetite and weight regulation? Has fruit juice been unfairly demonised? And why are NHS staff increasingly spending their time debunking supplement misinformation?

This week we unpack the growing trend around "natural GLP-1" foods and explore what the science actually says about appetite, fullness and weight loss. We also dive into surprising new research challenging some of the assumptions around fruit juice, including its impact on blood sugar, weight gain and overall health.

Plus, we discuss why healthcare professionals are becoming increasingly concerned about the rise of supplement misinformation online, explore fascinating new research on yoga and cancer recovery, and look at what the London Marathon's expansion tells us about the continued running boom.

This week we're answering your questions on some of the biggest areas of confusion in nutrition and wellbeing.

We're discussing how diet can support hormonal health, from PCOS and amenorrhea to hormonal acne, and exploring how to care for your microbiome while taking a GLP-1 medication. We also unpack the growing conversation around fibre and digestion, including what it means if seeds seem to pass through your body intact and whether prebiotic sodas are really as gut-friendly as they're marketed to be.

Plus, we're tackling the conflicting advice around healthy mornings and sugar. Does breakfast really need to be high in protein? Is coffee on an empty stomach a problem? And should fruit only be eaten alongside meals to avoid glucose spikes? As always, we're cutting through the noise to focus on what the evidence actually says.
