Next time you look at the calories on the back of a packet or the nutritional breakdown of a recipe, remember that number doesn't tell you the whole story. It says nothing about the nutrients, the quality of the food, how satisfying it'll be, or even how many calories your body will actually absorb.To unpack it all, I'm joined by Professor Giles Yeo, Professor of Molecular Neuroendocrinology at the University of Cambridge, MBE, and author of the brilliant book Why Calories Don't Count.We cover:5 reasons calorie counting matters less than we thinkWhy "low-cal" doesn't always mean healthyWhy we don't absorb every calorie we eatWhy the calories in nuts, avocados and seeds aren't the same as the calories in a ultra-processed foods, even when the numbers matchIs fruit juice really healthy?3 strategies to maintain a healthy weightI hope this changes the way you think about calories and gives you a few practical ideas you can start using straight away. If you know someone who's always checking the calorie label before anything else, send this episode their way.As always, thanks for listening!Dr Rupy xMore from Professor Giles Yeohttps://www.wolfson.cam.ac.uk/people/giles-yeohttps://x.com/GilesYeohttps://www.instagram.com/gilesyeo/?hl=enMore from us🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here📱 Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our website☕️ Try Exhale Coffee here🥗 Join the newsletter and receive a 7 day meal plan📷 Follow on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

What if I told you that two people could eat the exact same meal, with the exact same calories, and have completely different hormonal responses because of what they believed about what they were eating?These aren't fringe findings.A growing body of evidence suggests that the way we think about our health can meaningfully impact our biology.In this episode, I'm joined by nutritionist and Sunday Times bestselling author Sarah Ann Macklin to unpack four ways our thoughts can either help or hinder our health.We explore:• How your beliefs about food can influence hormones, appetite and metabolism• Why the way you think about exercise may affect the health benefits you experience• Whether your genes are really your destiny• Why self-compassion could be one of the most powerful tools for lasting healthThis is a fascinating conversation about the hidden connection between mind and body, and how changing the way we think could help shape our health for the better.Hope you enjoy this one and find something practical you can apply to your own life.Dr RupyLearn more about Sarah's workSarah's latest book 'Healthy Shouldn't Be This Hard' is out nowInstagram: @sarahannmacklinYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livewellbewellsarahSubstack:https://sarahmacklin.substack.com/ Website: www.sarahannmacklin.comJoin the Doctor’s Kitchen🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here📱 Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our website☕️ Try Exhale Coffee here🥗 Join the newsletter and receive a 7 day meal plan📷 Follow on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

I’ve been talking a lot about healthy protein and sometimes it can feel like you have to pick a side. Protein or fibre. But for long-term health, you want both on your plate.The problem is, 96% of people still don’t hit the recommended daily fibre target. Even if you eat vegetables at every meal. A salad is brilliant for micronutrients and polyphenols, but alone it’s usually not enough to reach the 30g of fibre a day linked to better gut health, satiety, cholesterol and a lower risk of disease.But for a lot of people, trying to eat more fibre comes with one big problem… bloating.So today I’m joined by Dr Emily Leeming, former chef, registered dietitian, scientist at King’s College London and author of the new book ‘Fibre Power’, to break down how to increase fibre in a way that works for your gut.She brings a rare combination of ongoing research, clinical practice and love for food.We cover:Key signs you may not be eating enough fibreHow to eat 30g of fibre a day without bloatingHigh-fibre foods people often overlookThe difference between high and low FODMAP foodsWhether fibre supplements are worth itOne fibre habit to start todayIt’s a really practical episode and I hope it leaves you inspired to make a few tweaks to gently increase your fibre intake.
