No Forking Nonsense - The Nutritionist UK

Fancy a chat? CLICK ME.
The UK supplement market is worth well over a billion pounds a year, and most of what's in your cupboard is doing nothing.
Not all of it, though. A small number of things genuinely work and are worth your money. 
The trick is knowing which, and almost every article you've read on this was written by someone selling something.
So: no affiliate links, nothing to sell you, and I'll tell you which ones I take myself.
In this episode:

The short list of supplements with real evidence behind them, and what each one actually does
Vitamin D, and why the UK government position on it is different from everywhere else, and what that means between October and March
Creatine: the most researched supplement there is, why the loading phase is unnecessary, and why the hair loss thing traces back to one small study
Protein powder, which is food rather than a supplement, and when it's worth buying
Where a multivitamin does and doesn't make sense
The ones that only work if you're deficient, and how to know whether you are
The big money-wasters: fat burners, detox products, greens powders, collagen, and anything sold on "supports" rather than "does"
Why the word "supports" is doing so much work on that label
How to read a label so the marketing stops working on you
When a supplement is genuinely worth taking, and the situations where testing beats guessing@paulthenutritionist

Whatever you eat at the services was decided before you pulled in.

Bank holiday weekend, work trip, driving up to see family, or heading to Portman Road to watch Ipswich beat Tottenham 2-1...
At some point you're stopping somewhere off the M6, and the choice gets made in about four seconds.
Service stations aren't the problem. 
There's more decent food in them than there's ever been. The problem is walking in hungry, tired and without a plan, because then whatever's nearest wins.
So most of this episode is about what happens before you leave the house.
In this episode:
The twenty minutes before you set off that buy you three hours of not caring what's on offer
A four minute bag, and what actually survives a warm car
Why people drink less on purpose on long drives, and why it backfires
The one move once you're inside that changes what you end up with
What you're aiming for, in one sentence
The meal deal, and which of the three slots is the trap
Why a big lunch halfway through a long drive is a safety issue rather than a diet one
The share bag, and why what's in it isn't the point
Arriving at family, and the gap between crisps at four and dinner at eight
The drive home from an away day, win or lose

I've spent two years telling people to ignore fad diets.

This week I'm defending them. All of them. Keto, carnivore, alkaline, celery juice, cabbage soup, the lot.
They work. 
That's the problem.
Then there's a study from Stanford that quietly demolished the entire "find the right diet for your body type" industry, including the DNA tests and the metabolic typing, and nobody reported the most important line in it.
After that I make the case for what I actually do for a living, and then list all the reasons you might not need it, which my accountant has asked me to stop doing.

In this episode:

Why every fad diet works, and the one mechanism they all share
Why a rule beats good judgement at four o'clock on a Thursday
609 people, 12 months, low fat against low carb, and what the difference actually was
The gene test question that got answered directly, and what it predicted
Why "just build sustainable habits" has the same failure rate, and why nobody in my industry says so
The detail buried in that Stanford study that changes what the headline means
What beat an actual prescription drug by nearly two to one

Only a FEW things can cure a hangover... 
Not the fry-up, not the Berocca, not the pint of water before bed, and definitely not the hair of the dog. 
What you can do is have a much smaller one, and there's decent evidence for how.

This week:
What a hangover actually is, why it isn't just dehydration, why the colour of what you're drinking genuinely matters, and the honest version of the alcohol and health conversation now that the old "red wine is good for you" line has quietly fallen apart.
No lectures. I'm not telling anyone to stop drinking.
In this episode:
What's actually happening in your body the morning after, and why dehydration is only part of it
Congeners, and why dark spirits and red wine hit harder than clear ones
Why alcohol wrecks your sleep even when you sleep for nine hours
The things worth doing before, during and after, in order of how much difference they make

You'll thank me after listening to this...
