About this episode

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.
