Healthy eating doesn't have to mean cutting out your favourite foods or following complicated meal plans.
In this episode I speak to registered dietitian Shyla Cadogan about the simple, evidence-based habits that actually make a difference. We explore why most people aren't eating enough fibre, how to build healthier meals without obsessing over calories, the truth about ultra-processed foods, greens powders and "superfoods", plus how nutrition can help manage endometriosis symptoms.
