Exposing the Biggest Lies in Nutrition - Alan Flanagan

“We have, because of the nature of our information landscape now, essentially zero capacity to hold any accountability to sources of misinformation. So it's a really terrible time to be an evidence-based healthcare professional.” -Dr Alan Flanagan

In this episode Alan and I debunk common nutrition advice you might be following, and explain the dangerous real life impact online influencers and “gurus” are having on your health.

  • Why you don’t need to be worried about glucose spikes
  • The limitations of personalised nutrition and microbiome research
  • Why sweeteners and seed oils have been wrongly demonised
