This week on the Forkin' Good Podcast, we sit down with Professor Grant Schofield — one of New Zealand’s most outspoken voices on metabolic health — and we don’t hold back.
We dive into:
- Why the Health Star Rating system doesn’t work
- Why cereal can score higher than smoked salmon
- The powerful link between sugar, metabolism & mental health
- Why high blood sugar drives chronic disease
- What’s really happening in school lunchboxes
- What “metabolic health” actually means
- Why modern medicine treats symptoms — not causes
- Microplastics, packaging & the bigger food system problem
If you’ve ever wondered:
Why “no added sugar” doesn’t mean healthy
How to reverse Type 2 diabetes
Why ultra-processed food dominates supermarkets
What prevention really means
This episode is for you.
Prevention isn’t a trend — it’s the cure.
Listen, share, and send this to someone who needs to hear it.
