Summary

Did you know that over 50% of the average adult’s diet—and 65% of a child’s diet—in the UK is made up of ultra-processed foods (UPFs)? 🍞

In this eye-opening episode of Food for Thought, I’m joined by the incredible Dr Giles Yeo (@gilesyeo), a renowned geneticist specialising in obesity and how our brain controls food intake. 🧠

💡 Hormones: Dr Yeo explains how hormones influence our brain's hunger signals and why this matters for weight management.

🌸 Menopause: Discover how hormonal changes during menopause can drastically alter how your body reacts to diet and exercise.

🍞 UPFs: Get the real story on ultra-processed foods—why they’re not all inherently ‘bad,’ but why their prevalence is concerning.

🥗 Healthy Eating: Why is it so hard to access healthy foods? We discuss the barriers that make nutritious options less accessible to many.

🍦 Childhood Obesity: Shockingly, 1 in 4 children under the age of 5 or 6 are overweight. Learn how the cost of living crisis is making it a privilege to eat well—something that shouldn’t be the case.

🏫 School Dinners: Find out why schools are turning to more processed foods to cut costs and the impact this has on the quality of food for children.

💉 Ozempic: Dr Yeo sheds light on the use of weight loss injections like Ozempic and the broader implications of these treatments.

👩‍⚕️ Seek Help: If you’re struggling with weight or diet-related health issues, remember to consult a medical professional for guidance.
