Summary
Today we’re talking about the importance of teaching children about health with Dr Max Pemberton who’s written a children’s body, mind and anatomy guide for children.
Dr Max is a writer, mental health doctor and Journalist. He has written 4 other books including, Trust Me I’m A (junior) Doctor which I read when I was a junior doctor 10 years ago and was serialised on Radio 4. His second book, Where Does It Hurt? details his experiences of working in an outreach project for the homeless and people addicted to drugs.
This new book explores the idea of children being aware of looking after themselves through food and nutrition and understanding the human body and how parents can facilitate that growth.
Today we chat about:
- Max's experiences of transitioning from adult to childrens literary projects
- Work in the field of eating disorders
- Why the way health messages are delivered, particularly over social media, are important
- The health messages that are important to convey to children in an appropriate way
You’ll find the recipe video that I cooked for Dr Max on my youtube channel so you can see how delicious and easy it was to make.
And you can find all of this information and more at www.thedoctorskitchen.com
. Max has also written four bestselling books for adults. The Marvellous Adventure of Being Human is his first book for children.

| 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 for |
| 0:27.1 | your unique body. And I'm a believer that personalized nutrition could be beneficial if you |

| 0:38.8 | They look at your blood fat and blood sugar control and your gut microbiome to help you understand |

| 0:49.9 | have huge benefits on long-term health as well as relieving more immediate problems like fatigue. |
| 0:55.2 | So magnesium supplements for example can help one person sleep better but they might have |
| 0:59.5 | little effect on someone else. And as Professor Tim said in our conversation personalized nutrition |
| 1:05.3 | takes away that trial and error and that very long process of trying to figure out what's going on |
| 1:10.4 | inside your body on your own. Zoe has been genuinely life-changing for its members who've |
