In Bad Taste

Some people do nearly anything for the #gainz - including drinking breastmilk. We all know when it comes to baby, ‘breast is best’, but what about getting shredded or overall health for adults? (Un)Well chases down these questions but of course, we have some opinions of our own to add.

This month, we’re taking a look at the new Netflix documentary series, (Un)Well. First up, essential oils. Are they actually useful, or just something that smells nice? And more importantly, can they be dangerous?

It’s our final episode on ‘Vaxxed’ and today, we’re joined by a special guest. Dr David Robert Grimes is a scientist and scientific communicator.

It’s the last episode of our ‘Fed Up’ before we move on to our next victim. The film loves to paint the food industry as the bad guy in all of this. But what is the real story behind how big food and big sugar shape our lives and our health? Oh and we’ve called for back-up this time with Dr Emma Beckett and Jenny Rosborough (RNutr) joining us!

Once again, we’re delving into Fed Up and this week we’re coming to the rescue to defend us all from the blame game when it comes to our health and especially, what we eat and how we exercise. Spoiler alert: it’s not all your fault.

We’re back with ‘Fed Up’ and this week, we’re talking about fat. Because this film has some pretty strong opinions on this - some, they have a point but some are downright daft. And of course we have some pretty strong points (and science) of our own to separate fact from fiction.

It’s time for a new documentary and this month, it’s the anti-sugar brigade who we will be taking a good hard look at. ‘Fed Up’ tries to tell you that sugar is the cause for everything that is wrong in the world but how accurate is that really?
