Hi, my name is Dr. Rongan Chatterjee, medical doctor, author of the four-pillar plan and television presenter.

I believe that all of us have the ability to feel better than we currently do, but getting healthy has become far too complicated.

With this podcast, I aim to simplify it.

I'm going to be having conversations with some of the most interesting and exciting people both within,

as well as outside the health space to hopefully inspire you, as well as empower you with simple tips that you can put into practice immediately to transform the way that you feel.

I believe that when we are healthier, we are happier because when we feel better, we live more.

I'm absolutely delighted to welcome onto the show today.

A guest who is very well qualified, he's got a BSC in human nutrition, he's got a postgraduate diploma in nutritional medicine, but he's also a chef.

It is none other than Dale Pinnick who goes by the name of the medicinal chef.

Dale, welcome to the podcast.

Thanks for having me.

Dale, I've been familiar with your work for a number of years now.

You've written how many books now?

12, 13 books.

13 books, okay.

I've always been intrigued by your title, which is that of the medicinal chef.

So, one of you could expand as to how you came up with that title and how it's relevant?

Well, it's a deliberately provocative title, really, because I want people to think differently about food.

I wanted them to think of it not as just a sort of fuel, but as something that could actually be a valid part of the healthcare picture.

It has the capacity to make us better and to do us harm.

And that's how I wanted people to start thinking about the food that they're eating.

So, I kind of conjured up that title from that point of view.
