Today’s snacksize Doctor’s Kitchen podcast is about the rise of allergies in both adults & children globally taken from episode #101 Ending Food Allergy with Professor Kari Nadeau. Have you noticed the rapid rise in childhood food allergies? Peanuts, dairy, wheat, egg. All of these appear so commonly removed from children’s diets in schools and it’s not just children that are suffering. But why? On the full podcast Kari Nadeau is Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics and for more than 30 years, she has devoted herself to understanding how environmental and genetic factors affect the risk of developing allergies and asthma, and the molecular mechanisms underlying these diseases. 🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here You can download The Doctor’s Kitchen app for free to get access to our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.

Olive oil is a hot topic. We first dived into the benefits of olive oil back on episode 99 with Dr Simon, but I thought it was time for an update. Today you’re going to learn about: Why Olive oil is so healthy The evidence for Olive oils benefits How much Olive oil you should be consuming every day for benefits How to choose a quality Olive oil The minimum polyphenol content you need to look out for Whether “cold pressed” means anything Cheap and fake olive oils and whether they have any value Dr Simon Poole is in the studio and on YouTube you can watch our taste test with 5 different olive oils. He shows me the techniques behind how to smell, taste and grade olive oils and how you can do this at home too! Dr Simon is an internationally acclaimed expert in the mediterranean diet and lifestyle, and the nutrition of extra virgin olive oil. He has more than 30 years experience as a medical doctor, he’s a teacher and researcher in Cambridge, widely published in academic journals, and is author of award winning books including The Olive Oil Diet, The Real Mediterranean Diet, Diabetes for Dummies and Diabetes Nutrition for Dummies. We also taste test his own olive oil called “Positively Good For You” that isn’t available for purchase at present, but watch this space because considering the flavour, quality and price of the oil, I expect to see it on shelves soon. 🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here 📱 Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app for free* 🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our website *The Doctor's Kitchen App gives you access to all of our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.

From blood sugar and gut health to inflammation ginger has many people espousing its benefits. There are tons of folklore remedies using ginger for indigestion, headaches, infections. But is there any science to back this up? In the Doctor’s Kitchen we want people to learn about the history of food, the nutritional benefits of ingredients so everyone can make an informed decision about their diet Whether you choose to include more or less ginger in your diet is completely up to you, but I hope we can help our healthy foodie listeners to appreciate the science of this incredible spice. Despite the poor evidence or lack thereof in some cases, there are some intangible benefits with all foods whether the science is there or not. Foods evoke memories, which impacts our emotions, our psychological states. There are many things that we can’t determine through looking at a clinical trial in isolation. So don’t be disheartened and remember to be intuitive about what you feel works for you I do love cooking with ginger for its health and flavour properties. I add it to curries, stews and teas. And as we look to the science and discover more about its health benefits, I think you’re going to be inspired to use it more regularly in your diet too. 🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here 📱 Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app for free* 🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our website *The Doctor's Kitchen App gives you access to all of our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.

Today’s snacksize Doctor’s Kitchen podcast is all about a general framework for healthy eating that I apply. This is a very broad overview of how I think about diet and dietary changes and doesn’t zoom in on the specifics of healthy eating (such as spices, brassica vegetables and fermented foods) but I think it holds value when thinking about diet at a population level. This clip is taken from the full episode #100 Four Lifestyle Equations Everyone needs to know, where I talk about a selection of formulas that I try and put into practice each day. 🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here You can download The Doctor’s Kitchen app for free to get access to our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.

Honey has been used for millennia as a medicine. And even to this day, people swear by it for treating viral illnesses, espousing the antibacterial and immune enhancing effects. But is there any evidence to support this? And if honey is largely made up of just sugar molecules, how can it have these miraculous effects? Todays episode is a deep dive into what honey is, the chemical make up of honey and a look at some of the studies that have examined gut health, immunity and metabolic health benefits. I’ll reveal whether I think it’s worth taking a spoon of honey every day. On another episode for YouTube I’m going to discuss how to choose the best honey, how to spot fake honey on supermarket shelves, as well as taste test different honeys available in supermarkets and online. 🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here 📱 Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app for free* 🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our website *The Doctor's Kitchen App gives you access to all of our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.

Anna Jones is on the podcast today, one of my absolute favourite cooks! Her food and ethos around injecting flavour are so aligned to my way of eating and it was a joy to host her on the pod. Anna is a cook, writer and regarded as the voice of modern vegetarian cooking. She’s written favourites such as “One: Pot, Pan, Planet”, “A Modern Way to Eat” and many more that are always on a foodies kitchen counter. In her latest book “Easy Wins”, Anna takes 12 hero ingredients that are guaranteed to make your food taste great, such as lemons, olive oil, onions, peanut butter, mustard, tahini. Most of you ‘Doctors Kitchen Foodies’ probably have these in your fridge or cupboards. And Anna has masterfully created meals that use them to boost the flavour and versatility of home cooking. The so called “Capsule Pantry”, which we explain at the start of the podcast is an awesome concept. And I’m going to start thinking about what would be in my own capsule pantry!

Todays Snacksize Doctor’s Kitchen podcast is all about preventing heart disease using medications vs stents. On the full episode we talk more about the impact of diet, meditation and other lifestyle measures but this snippet on episode 30 where I speak with Consultant Dr Zarrin Shaikh, illustrates the point that it’s not always the more aggressive procedures (like stenting) that yield the best outcomes. Sometimes medications can be just as, if not more effective, and lifestyle medicine should also be part of that care package. I highly recommend you listen to episode 30 for the full discussion, as well as my solo episode 202 on dietary changes to lower your cholesterol. 🥗 Join the newsletter and 7 day meal plan 📷 Follow on Instagram 🐦 Tweet me We would love to get your feedback on the subject matter of these episodes - please do let me know on our social media pages (Instagram, Facebook & Twitter) what you think, and give us a 5* rating on your podcast player if you enjoyed today’s episode.

I’m always on the search for better sleep. I’ve tried supplements, better pillows, meditations but there always appears to be a day or 2 in my week where I don’t sleep well. And on the one hand, I was pleased to find out that that’s about average and that’s not particularly abnormal, but I still want better sleep. Today, Dr David Garley is on the podcast, he works as a GP in Bristol and is director of The Better Sleep Clinic. He treats a wide range of sleep disorders, mainly working with insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea and sees first hand the impact that poor sleep can have on physical and mental health. But he also started his medical career in respiratory medicine, that we get into at the start of the podcast.
