Summary

This is an expert episode absolutely packed with gold on what & when we should be eating.

My guest is Professor Sarah Berry, a world-leading expert in nutritional science, Professor at King’s College London, the Chief Scientist at ZOE and the lead nutritional scientist on the PREDICT program, the world’s largest in-depth nutritional research programme. With over 20 years of research under her belt, Sarah has published more than 200 scientific papers exploring how our bodies respond to food, from blood sugar and fat metabolism to the gut microbiomeand crucially, how those responses can differ drastically between individuals, especially women.

The aim for this episode was to answer the question, as a woman, what and how should I be eating, and how we can finally move past one-size-fits-all wellness culture, something I am very behind!

0:00.0	This episode is brought to you by South by Southwest, London. For the first time ever,
0:03.7	the famous South by Southwest Festival is coming to London and let me tell you you really want to be
0:07.7	there. It's a convergence of creativity, culture and technology. And I know that sounds pretty
0:12.3	general, but the lineup is genuinely every entrepreneur's dream. From AI and humanity to the
0:17.2	future of healthcare and the state of the music industry. There is something for everyone,
0:24.7	and I've been stalking the line up like I would a music festival. At the top of my list is the session on how AI agents are going to transform creativity, something that's super relevant to every
0:28.9	single one of my businesses, and especially retrograde to the virtual talent agent I co-founded last
0:33.4	year. I also really love the sound of the session with C-suite execs from Formula One and Lego Group
0:38.1	about how to build immersive experiences. Something I'm thinking about all the time now we're
0:42.4	opening the Tarla Store. It's also an incredible chance to network. There will be over 650 companies
0:47.5	attending with 37 countries represented. You can meet potential clients, investors, partners and peers.
0:53.2	You'll be immersed in new technologies and emerging talent from around the world.

1:34.0	What is up? I'm Grace Beverly and welcome back to Working Hard, the podcast shared guide book on how to improve your own life and achieve what you actually dreamed of doing
1:37.5	because life's too short for boring podcasts and bad advice.
1:49.5	I have got an incredible expert episode for you today. One I have been excited about for so long. We are getting into a subject that I have spoken about again and again on this
1:54.0	podcast, one that has been massively under-researched, ignored and sideline, women's health,
1:59.1	and more specifically today, women's diets and more specifically today women's diets.
2:01.6	I feel like so many of us were brought up with calorie counting and carb cutting
