Summary
I invite good friend and fellow medic, Doctor Anita Mitra to talk about the concept of eating the rainbow. What does this mean? What benefits do plants actually give us? How phytochemicals could be important in measuring in the future (alongside vitamins and minerals) as well as actionable tips for how you can eat more colours right now.
We talk about:
- What is a phytochemical?
- Why do plants have different colours and smells?
- The difference between micronutrients and phytochemicals
- What is plant hormesis?
- The benefits of consuming plant chemicals, spices and herbs with specific reference to popular spices turmeric and matcha tea

| 0:00.0 | Today's podcast is sponsored by Zoe and I'm pretty convinced that anyone listening to this |
| 0:04.7 | podcast right now has an invested interest in health. Maybe you've tried the recipes, |
| 0:09.6 | taken advice from guests, all like me you see food as medicine. But to any of you ever feel like |
| 0:15.4 | you're doing all the right stuff to live a healthy lifestyle but you still feel fatigued in the |
| 0:20.8 | afternoons. It could be because the advice that we give to most people simply isn't enough |
| 0:27.0 | for your unique body. And I'm a believer that personalized nutrition could be beneficial if you |
| 0:32.8 | find yourself in this pattern. And Zoe's groundbreaking science does what generic advice |
| 0:38.1 | can't do. They look at your blood fat and blood sugar control and you've got microbiome to help |
| 0:43.9 | you understand how different foods affect your body so you can feel your best. Nailing your own |
| 0:49.0 | nutrition can have huge benefits on long term health as well as relieving more immediate problems |
| 0:54.3 | like fatigue. So magnesium supplements for example can help one person sleep better but they |

| 1:09.4 | figure out what's going on inside your body on your own. Zoe has been genuinely life changing |
| 1:15.6 | for its members who've reported feeling less tired after lunch and that the energy levels |
| 1:20.0 | are far more consistent. Discover what eating for your best health really looks like. |
| 1:24.8 | Go to joinzoe.com and use kitchen, 10% discount that's kitchen, 10% all one word for a 10% discount. |

| 1:37.2 | Looking after your finances can be tricky at any time but especially right now and on this podcast |
| 1:42.8 | we've discussed how the stress of personal finances can have an effect on our well-being. |
| 1:47.6 | And that's why we're super chuffed to have Money Supermarket sponsoring the podcast today |
