In this episode we chat to Caroline Hardingham-Mentzer and Dr Alex Mentzer.

Caroline is a writer and nutritionist and married to Dr Alex Mentzer a specialist in infectious diseases who works for the NHS. They live in Oxford with their children.

They both share a passion for bringing together natural and modern medicine for better health.

As Alex says in our interview - his work as a doctor keeps people alive while Caroline’s work as a nutritionist keeps people healthy.

We had a wide ranging and fascinating discussion with Caroline and Alex about how they can - and have - each learned from their seemingly disparate disciplines, why diet is crucial to good health and Alex shared a little of his personal thoughts on how challenging and rewarding his work as a doctor has been over the last year.

Caroline also shares a fantastic - and super simple recipe for Onion Syrup which can be found on her website.

You can find loads more recipes on her website - Health in Synergy - where you can also read all about her work alongside information, resources and inspiration on food and health.
