Everyone loves to do their research or do an experiment but what exactly does an experiment look like? And is Damon’s so-called experiment worth your time and energy?

Is the government and food industry sneaking into your yoghurt and piling it high with sugar cubes? Not exactly. ‘That Sugar Film’ loves a sweet conspiracy theory but we just like the science.

Don’t panic yet - sugar may not be the best thing in the world but it’s not a controlled substance either. This week we’re discovering whether sugar is particularly good at causing weight gain, acne and hyperactivity.

The Magic Pill 03: Is food medicine? 37:24

5y ago37:24

37:24

People will get mad because we’re going to spend the entire episode telling you why food is not medicine. Doesn’t mean it isn’t important but this rhetoric is getting way too much air time recently, forming the basis of ‘The Magic Pill’ so let’s discuss why this statement is grossly unhelpful.

The Magic Pill 02: Is fat friend or foe 29:48

5y ago29:48

29:48

If we had a dollar for every time someone said ‘bUt SaTuRatED fAt AcTuAllY iSn’T tHAt bAd’, we wouldn’t need ads in our podcast episodes. ‘The Magic Pill’, this month’s film, likes to get greasy and extoll the miracle nature of fats. But should you be adding coconut oil to every meal or is there a better way to do it? (Spoiler alert: do not add coc…

Hello wonderful listeners! We’re back and we’re not wasting any time getting to the bottom of Pete Evans’ ‘The Magic Pill’. This week, the ketogenic diet - is it as magical as this film wants you to believe?

It’s our last episode on The Goop Lab and for the final hurrah, things get weird. Like really weird because we’re energy healing apparently.

31:09

Being terrified of ageing seems to be common fodder for wellness wankers, including The Goop Lab. This week, Gwynnie tries to tell us we can reverse age or something, and botox is bad. But is it legit or is just hard to tell who’s lying because of all the filler? Follow Pixie Turner @pixienutrition on Instagram | Twitter | Facebook Follow Dr Nikki …

It’s an important topic - women’s sexuality and the gender gap in orgasms. Any publicity is good publicity, right? The question is, does The Goop Lab get this right? Sadly after we recorded this episode, Betty Doson passed away, so when you listen, give her a big thanks for all her work. Follow Pixie Turner @pixienutrition on Instagram | Twitter | …

The Goop Lab 01: Cold Goop 36:22

5y ago36:22

36:22

We did it, we watched The Goop Lab. And we’re sorry that we did because this week, Paltrow focusses on Wim Hof, a Dutch extreme athlete who wants everyone to breathe strangely and swim in frozen water for health. And we’re obviously, a little bit skeptical. Follow Pixie Turner @pixienutrition on Instagram | Twitter | Facebook Follow Dr Nikki Stamp …

Watching ‘What The Health’ was our bad place. But this film has been cited in many office lunch rooms and is still popular, despite its glaring inaccuracies.

We’re back again with ‘What the Health’ and we’re still suffering from watching this film. This week, we’re taking on the film’s most famous claim - are eggs as bad for you as cigarettes.

Some people do nearly anything for the #gainz - including drinking breastmilk. We all know when it comes to baby, ‘breast is best’, but what about getting shredded or overall health for adults?

We’re back with ‘Fed Up’ and this week, we’re talking about fat. Because this film has some pretty strong opinions on this - some, they have a point but some are downright daft.
