Listen Later

In this conversation, Coach Pennie and Dr Richie Kirwan delve into the complexities of nutrition, particularly focusing on Joe Wicks' recent documentary that sparked widespread discussion about Joe's black and white thinking around food, along with the risks and benefits of ultra-processed foods.


They explore the misconceptions surrounding ingredients like aspartame, the role of nutrition experts, and the societal implications of food accessibility.


The dialogue emphasises the importance of understanding food labels, the dangers of food fear and orthorexia, and the need for a balanced approach to diet that includes both whole and ultra-processed foods in moderation.


Ultimately, they advocate for a more nuanced understanding of nutrition that considers individual needs and societal factors, rather than demonising specific ingredients.
