What’s the best diet for humans? When you zoom out and look at decades of research, human physiology, and real-world health outcomes, a clear pattern emerges.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why humans are built to eat a variety of foods, not follow extreme diet tribes
• How fibre, protein, healthy fats, and micronutrients create the foundations of long-term health
• The major pitfalls of going too far into either direction - strict vegetarian/vegan or strict carnivore/low-fibre
• Why fish and lean proteins play a protective role that plants alone or meat alone cannot fully replace
• How a “plant-forward + protein-adequate” diet supports energy, digestion, weight management, hormones, and longevity
• Simple, real-life guidelines for building balanced meals without restriction, dieting, or overwhelm

This is not another diet trend. It’s not about labels, rules, or perfection. It’s about eating in a way that aligns with our biology, is easy to maintain, and supports whole-body health - for almost everyone.

Whether you’re confused about nutrition, stuck between diet opinions online, or wanting clarity for yourself or your clients, this episode gives you a grounded, balanced, evidence-informed answer.

This episode is all about the gut microbiome and how fermented foods can play a key role in supporting it. I break down how foods like yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi help nourish beneficial bacteria, improve gut balance, and ultimately strengthen immune function. We’ll look at what the research says, how often you should include these foods, and practical ways to add them to your diet for better gut and overall health.

A must-listen if you’re curious about how your food choices directly influence your immunity and wellbeing from the inside out.
