March 08, 2020 # 30 We are slowly killing ourselves with Gerry Davies
For 25 years Gerry Davies was an anaesthetist in the USA.
For the last 13 years Gerry has been researching prevention medicine, becoming fascinated with the new research in epidemiology and the molecular mechanisms of ageing and age-related diseases, which are now our primary public health problems.
For the past 10 years, Gerry has been doing research and testing formulas that replace starch and sugar with superfoods and fibres, so other individuals and companies can produce low carb, high fibre versions of a variety of the baked and processed foods that we all love.
As a result Gerry has created his company, longevity foods, along with his amazing fibre flour.

February 23, 2020 #28 Building a podcast, social media and StarWars with Alex Whiteley.
This is the first episode for the Conversation junkie in 2020. Due to mental health reasons I took a long hiatus over the Christmas period to get my shit in order. So now I am back to it and firing on all cylinders. In this episode I talk to Alex Whiteley from the great Shrewsbury Biscuit Podcast. We talked about the impact of social media, and how people misuse social platforms And we discussed the hard work that goes into making a podcast on your own. A special shout out goes to Lefevre chocolate in this episode for simply making the best confectionary I have ever tasted.
