0:00.0	Welcome to the Power Hour. I'm Adrienne Herbert, wellness coach, international speaker and author.
0:11.1	Each week I speak to a variety of guests from business founders to Olympic athletes, leading coaches,
0:17.5	change makers and innovators to find out their daily habits, their rules to live by
0:22.4	and what motivates them to get up out of bed each day. Personally, I am on a mission to encourage,
0:29.2	motivate and inspire, so I hope that the Power Hour will help you to achieve your personal
0:34.0	and professional goals.
0:43.0	Welcome back to the Power Hour podcast. Today I'm joined by Sophie Medlin.
0:50.3	Sophie has been a dietitian for more than 17 years and she is part of a new show on Channel 4 called Know Your Shit.

1:00.9	I have so many questions about supplements. Do we need them? If we do, what should we be looking for when we're buying them? We're also going to talk about food and mood and gut health

1:37.9	tell us really, I suppose, what it's like to be a dietitian today? Yeah, cool. So I'm quite an unusual dietitian in the sense that most dietitians work in the
1:47.2	NHS. So I did seven years in the NHS and then I'm an academic for five years and now I work
1:52.9	completely for myself. So I do what we might call a portfolio career, which is not really a term I
1:58.0	particularly identify with, but I run a clinical practice. I've
2:01.8	got a team of 12 dietitians who, and we all specialize in very different things in terms of our
