Ultra-processed food, with Drs Chris and Xand Van Tulleken

But the thing is, there’s a lot more to health – hey, there’s a lot more to&nbsp;life!&nbsp;– than the numbers you see on the back of a crisp packet or on the scales. Geneticist Dr Giles Yeo feels we need a bit more space to think about the relationship food has with our body, our mind, and even our soul!&nbsp; Join Giles as he chews the fat with fellow foodies, scientists, and doctors. Across this series, he’ll be asking how our genes play a role in weight loss and gain, how our stomachs chat to our brains, and whether going on a run really means we can gorge on doughnuts when we get home... <hr> Hosted on Acast.
