The Food Chain · What to eat for a better night's sleep · 24 Jun 2026 podcast

It is much more about a holistic approach to our diet as it is with everything.

And I do always counsel patients that you're not going to see an immediate improvement tonight.

if you increase your fiber intake today but it is much more about taking a longer term view and I have to say that I do find that increasingly people do understand that in order to invest in our health more broadly and sleep is a very important part of that you know that does take time and consistency and I think that's something I always really emphasize.

Well, I mean, I think in relation to can we get things from nature that will do a better job?

Absolutely.

And I think, as Marie-Pierre has highlighted, whole foods, ideally as minimally processed as possible.

That doesn't mean we can't ever have processed foods, but the majority of our diet should come from more minimally processed foods.

That's what our body is designed to digest and consume.

And some of the process of doing that, as is the case with fibre, for example, is really important in terms of accessing those nutrients and getting the benefits.

As to what these things contain, it's highly variable.

And I'm sure Marie-Pierre can highlight, you know, there are some supplements that have been shown in good quantities.

And I think the difficulty around research in this area is around making sure that there are so many different doses, their bioavailability can be different depending on the formulation, and the population that you're targeting could look different.

So are you looking at

People of all ages, are you looking at women, men?

Are you looking at women in the perimenopause?

What cohort are you looking at?

What was the formulation?

What was the dose?

And how was it presented?

I think we're always going to come back to, unless you have a deficiency, you are far better getting your nutrients from a whole food diet in all the ways that Marie-Pierre highlighted already.
