In this episode of the Project EDWARD Podcast, we explore a critical yet often overlooked element of road safety... nutrition. James Luckhurst is joined by nutritional therapist Anna Earl (Nutrivival) and Kate Walker (Diabetes Safety) to examine the powerful links between diet, energy levels, and safe driving performance.

From understanding how poor nutrition can lead to fatigue and reduced concentration, to uncovering the hidden risks posed by undiagnosed or poorly managed diabetes, the conversation challenges employers and industry leaders to rethink their approach to driver wellbeing. Kate introduces the Hiding in Plain Sight report, a ground-breaking study calling for urgent industry action to address the risks diabetes poses to road users.

With practical solutions, examples of progressive workplace support, and a call for sustainable cultural change, this episode offers valuable insights for road safety professionals, fleet managers, and anyone committed to safer roads through better health.
