Top scientist Professor Tim Noakes joins us to discuss where we have to go if we follow the science when it comes to nutrition. While Professor Noakes has been known for decades as a thought leader in sports medicine and nutrition, he’s now become a major force promoting the health benefits of what is called the Low Carb-High Fat or LCHF way of eating.

We’ll be talking about the effects of refined and unrefined starches and carbohydrates on the human body, and we’ll be discussing some of the buzz terms in the nutrition and packaged goods worlds such as “whole grains”, “energy”, “Glycemic Index” and “fibre”. Importantly, we’ll be discussing how all of this can and does affect your heart health and whether or not you’ll develop Type 2 Diabetes. Professor Tim Noakes is the author of The Real Meal Revolution - a winning approach to diet now famously adopted by members of the Australian Cricket Team.

America’s most famous farmer, Joel Salatin joins us to discuss how healthy, conscious farming systems beget healthy food systems and a healthy ecology. Joel Salatin was featured in Michael Pollan’s bestselling book The Omnivore’s Dilemma, and is author of his own series of books including Folks, This Ain’t Normal and You Can Farm. We’ll be discussing what holistic farming is really all about and why it is that most supermarkets don’t sell consciously and holistically farmed choices of meat, even though they want you to think that they do. Importantly, we’ll be talking about how, contrary to popular opinion, when you choose meat wisely, you can help to heal both human and natural systems.

International bestselling author of Keto Clarity and Cholesterol Clarity, Jimmy Moore joins us to discuss how innocent-looking products and what many consider to be “everyday” foods are the cause of obesity and other diseases of civilisation. We discuss misleading labels and how even well known diet brands can be loading their products with the very ingredients that are causing obesity and diabetes. We discuss some basic shopping approaches to help us navigate the supermarket for better health, and identify some key supermarket categories where you need to be especially careful.

Investigative journalist Joanna Blythman, author of the brilliant exposé Swallow This, joins us to discuss what’s going on behind the scenes with ingredients in the products we buy in the supermarket. Even healthy-looking products that look like there are no additional ingredients can be a source of chemical contaminants that may be destructive to our health. In this discussion we focus on the gap between regulation and the reality of what you’re getting when you buy both ultra-processed products as well as some goods that might not even look all that “processed”...and we ask the question - how much do you really want to trust your health to a largely self-regulated packaged goods industry?

Investigative journalist Nina Teicholz joins us to discuss the critically important story of how natural saturated fats came to be demonized in the second half of the 20th century and how the promotion of polyunsaturated vegetable oils has helped ruin our health and dramatically and dangerously altered the nature of the products we see on the shelves of our supermarkets. Nina is the author of the international and New York Times bestselling book The Big Fat Surprise: why butter, meat and cheese belong in a healthy diet. If you saw the Time Magazine cover with the curl of butter on it not long ago…which was accompanied by the headline “Eat Butter”….that cover story was inspired by Nina Teicholz and her superb book.

In this first episode of Reinventing the Supermarket we welcome author and nutrition educator and activist Sally Fallon Morell. Along with the legendary researcher Dr Mary Enig, Sally is the author of what many consider to be one of the foundational classics of the real food movement, Nourishing Traditions. In this discussion we focus on what was happening in America and England in the late 1800s and the first half of the 20th century as the groundwork was being laid for the damaged nutritional guidance and food supply system we see manifested globally in supermarkets today.
