Most diets fail, not because you’re lazy, but because the real reasons for weight gain and poor health are being hidden from you. I’m Matty Lansdown - scientist, nutritionist, and emotional eating specialist, here to help you lose weight naturally, stop emotional eating, heal your metabolism, and fix your relationship with food… without calorie counting or restriction. Every Monday, get a 10-15 min pep talk to kickstart your week. Every Wednesday, join me and my guests - leading doctors, nutritionists, psychologists, alternative health pioneers, and truth-telling industry insiders - for 40-60 min deep dives into everything from gut health, diabetes, cancer, and food as medicine to mindset, medical myths, and the messy truth about the health system. Sometimes you’ll laugh, sometimes you’ll squirm - but you’ll always walk away with tools to take control of your health for good.
