Organic Food, Acne & Blood Sugar — Myths vs. Reality
About this episode
This week, we’re tackling some of the biggest listener questions. Do organic foods really make a difference to your health, or is it just clever marketing? Can what you eat actually trigger or clear up acne? And is the buzz around blood sugar spikes and glucose monitoring helping us eat better, or just fuelling food anxiety? We also share our personal recommendations before diving into your brilliant questions — from what we’re always buying on our weekly food shop, to fuelling properly for fitness on a plant-based diet. This week’s recommendations: Ella: Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors, and the Current Body LED mask Rhi: her new reformer machine, plus a few family and beauty finds + Bodkin and Roo Playdough For more information on skin-care from the excellent Dr. Thivi Maruthappu, get your copy of her book SkinFood: Your 4-step Solution to Healthy, Happy Skin HERE Learn more about your ad choices.
