Join Liz and Michelle in an eye-opening discussion with Jane Michell, the visionary founder of Jane Plan, as she sheds light on the alarming reality of obesity and the urgent need for systemic intervention and education. Jane dives deep into the critical understanding of BMI, highlighting the staggering health repercussions of obesity in the UK and explores the personal responsibilities and societal influences contributing to weight gain.

Key Insights:

🎙️ Food Triggers Everywhere: "Our environment bombards us with food triggers, while our biology remains tuned for scarcity, contributing to our constant desire to eat.”

🎙️ The Emotional Connection with Food: "Our emotional bond with weight is fascinating. Unlike overspending on a credit card, a disappointing scale reading often triggers impulsive eating. We've developed an intense link between our weight and our self-worth, forgetting it's just a number, a biological fact."

🎙️ The Alarming Rise in Obesity: “Obesity-related NHS admissions have surged to 3000 daily, doubling in six years. Records show 1.2 million hospitalizations due to obesity, with two-thirds of adults now overweight—costing the NHS a staggering £19.2 billion."

🎙️ Navigating Personal Responsibility: “Just look at the Oprah diet pill scandal, I think we can all agree that fundamentally the diet industry has failed the nation because otherwise we would not be in the state we're in today.”
