Show Notes

Eva Humphries is a Nutritional Therapist.

In this episode, we discuss: whether nutritional advice is overhyped, our obsession with optimisation and longevity, the rising cost of food and how much of our money we should be spending on it, the culture of office snacking and how to stay healthy at work, whether companies should prioritise employee wellbeing, how to make sustainable lifestyle changes, the best ways to approach health as we age, how appetites change as we get older, the definition of quality of life, and much more.
