James Collier returns to the pod this episode. James, a former NHS dietician and cofounder of Huel opens up for an honest conversation about the future of food, body image, misinformation and his excellent new book Well Fed: How modern diets are failing us and what we can do about it.

James takes us from his early days in NHS dietetics through bodybuilding and nutrition consultancy to cofounding one of the world’s leading complete food brands. Drawing on three decades of experience, he explains why our relationship with food has become so complex and how we can start to think more clearly about what we eat, how we eat and why it matters.

The discussion explores “contemplative nutrition,” a five pillar framework that includes health, ethics, the environment, mental wellbeing and the social aspect of food. James and I also share our personal experiences with body image, fasting and wellness culture, offering a refreshingly human take on the often polarised world of nutrition advice.

This is a deeply thoughtful episode for anyone who’s tired of fad diets, influencer-driven food trends, or contradictory health headlines. It’s about cutting through the noise and tuning into what really matters for your body, mind and the planet.

📌 Key Highlights:

✔️ What is contemplative nutrition and why it matters

✔️ Why most diets don’t work and what to do instead

✔️ The truth about fasting, caffeine and ultra processed foods

✔️ How sustainability, ethics and mental health all connect to what we eat

✔️ The science of misinformation and how to spot credible nutrition advice

✔️ James’s personal journey with body image, self-discipline and food freedom
