Our 57th episode takes a different turn - our dietitians wrap-up of the best of 2025!

We look back on the standout moments and key achievements in the world of nuts and health.

Host of The Healthy Handful podcast, Belinda Neville, is joined by colleague and dietitian Maree Hall to reflect on the year that was - from major policy announcements in the US, to FSANZ reviews here at home, and emerging food and health trends, including the humble pistachio being named flavour of the year!

We also revisit some of the year's most impactful research, including a novel study exploring the link between nut consumption and PMS. It's a delightful trip down memory lane.
