Are you Well Fed? Beyond nutrition with James Collier

Today I am delighted to welcome on the show co-founder of Huel and nutritionist of over 30 years, James Collier!   James recently published his first book - Well Fed - which is a very different kind of nutrition book where he introduces the idea of Contemplative Nutrition.   In our conversation today we get into the 5 pillars that underpin this food philosophy, and some of the challenges that I know clients of mine have struggled with over the years.   One of the major challenges is the amount of conflicting and misinformation readily available, with social media influencers hard at work to earn their sponsorships, and just the vast number of different approaches you can take with nutrition.   We talk about how to navigate this sea of information and decide what’s right for you and your family.   One of my favourite things was discovering where the word ‘lunch’ comes from, and how our culture of 3 square meals a day is rarely questioned despite not always being optimal.   Even the etymology of the word ‘culture’ comes up as James is a self-confessed word geek, and I promise you the links he makes are both fascinating and insightful.   We talk about Huel itself, ultra processed foods, balance, mindful and intuitive eating and a whole lot more.   Make sure you check out James’ book Well Fed and follow him on all the socials: Well Fed (Amazon.co.uk) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamescollierrnutr Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamescollierrnutr
