Summary
Unsure whether your diet includes the right nutrition? Leading nutritionist Dominique Ludwig joins Liz to reveal why it's time stop counting calories, and what to focus on instead to eat well in midlife.

They share practical advice on how to cut back on snacking, take a balanced look at weight loss injections, and share the key nutrients you should prioritise in midlife and beyond, plus the foods richest in them.

| 0:00.0 | as we get older, for example, we don't just get older and suddenly need a lot more vitamins |
| 0:05.1 | and minerals to do exactly the same jobs, is that we're not processing them so well. We might |
| 0:09.9 | have less stomach acid. You need the stomach acid to cleave those vitamins and minerals |
| 0:14.2 | off your food in your stomach. Things like calcium, magnesium, zinc, B12, things like that are |
| 0:19.7 | really dependent on the stomach |
| 0:21.4 | acid working correctly. The answer is how do you feel? You don't necessarily need to wear |
| 0:25.7 | a blood sugar monitor or anything else. You just see what you feel like. Did you feel hungry? |
| 0:30.2 | Was your energy stable? What was your focus like? Well, that's nutritionist Dominique Ludwig. |
| 0:37.2 | She wants us to stop focusing on the calories on our plate and start focusing on the actual nutrients. Hello, welcome to the Lizar Wellbeing Show, the podcast helping us all have a much better second half. And my mission is to find ways for all of us to thrive both now and in later life by investing in our health and our well-being right now today. |
| 1:00.7 | Well, all this month we have been looking at ways to inject a little more joy and zest for life into our better second halves. |
| 1:08.2 | But could it be that our energy, vitality and physical health are being |
| 1:12.6 | lowered as a result of being deficient in certain nutrients? Well, I've written about diet |
| 1:18.6 | and nutrition for over 30 years now and during that time I've tried, well, just about every |
| 1:24.2 | eating regime under the sun. I've been vegan, I've been keto, I've been |
| 1:27.9 | carnivore. I've also researched plenty of different food supplements and know for sure that my mood |
| 1:33.3 | and energy levels are very much better if I've taken just a bit of time to get good levels |
| 1:38.9 | of the right nutrients inside me. And I'm confident that this approach works well for all of us, not just for me, |
| 1:45.8 | especially when it's focused. Now, Dominic Ludwig also has a very personalised approach to her |
| 1:52.0 | work as a nutritionist. Could it be that drilling down into the detail of your own levels of iron, |
| 1:58.1 | vitamin D, calcium, how well your body absorbs these nutrients, could |
| 2:02.8 | unlock a whole new lease of life. |
| 2:12.9 | Let's take a moment to talk about wild nutrition who are sponsoring today's show. |
