When it comes to nutrition advice, there's so much information (and mis-information) out there that it's easy to become overwhelmed. That's where today's podcast guest comes in.
James Collier is the Co-Founder of Huel and now an author, with his new book "Well Fed: How modern diets are failing us and what we can do about it".
In this episode of the How to Thrive Podcast, Claire and Helen talk to James about how to separate nutrition fact from fiction, the importance of critical thinking and why eating with others is beneficial in some surprising ways.
