How Ultra-Processed Foods Hijack Our Brains With Pete Evans

This week, we’re joined for the second time by Pete Evans. Pete is a globally recognised chef, entrepreneur, author, and media personality, inspiring people worldwide through his podcast, Evolve, and his commitment to healthy living. Pete’s career has been marked by controversy and public scrutiny. Despite this, he has become renowned for his outspoken views and scepticism towards the conventional dietary guidelines. We explore how Pete has frequently found himself at odds with mainstream health advice and how it led him to producing famed documentaries featured on Netflix.  In this episode, Pete gets vulnerable and shares his personal experiences with confronting his fears: "My greatest fear in life was public speaking, but I knew that confronting this fear was essential. So, how did I get myself into a position where I could face it? My goal was to stand out there without being nervous, and I achieved that."
