So if anyone is considering changing their diet, do try and think, what's my mood like? What's my energy level like? How does this make me feel? And this can be as soon as three hours after a meal. We've shown that some people, like myself, are rather sensitive to sugar spikes. So if you have a high-carb meal, so say, you know,

We've shown that some people, like myself, are rather sensitive to sugar spikes. So if you have a high-carb meal, so say, you know,
traditional granola breakfast, which we used to be told was healthy, or oats. You might, three hours later, notice a bit of a mood dip. You're fatigued, you're not feeling great, and you end up searching out maybe more chocolate or carbs, or a sugar matcha in McDonald's, whatever it is. And just listen to yourself and say, well, maybe that was my breakfast that did that.

It's trying to be mindful about what you're eating and try and listen to your body. I mean, obviously, you know, we do offer people things like these glucose monitors and all this technology and apps and things that will tell you what to do. But it's good to start with the basics and see if you can pick up these clues yourself. for free before doing all that.

And it's not something I ever thought was possible, you know, 10 years ago. So I'm very much learning what makes me feel good and bad. And there's no doubt that what I eat definitely affects my mood. And my mood has definitely improved since I quite radically changed my diet.

When you say I'm pro-dairy, I write my books. These are the epidemiological studies on dairy. I'd like to draw a difference between fermented dairy and non-fermented dairy. Okay, so milk and cream, there's no evidence they are good for you. I like to say that. So I would say I'm neutral on dairy. You're really not going to be any worse off if you don't have non-fermented dairy in your life.

And I'm not impressed by the studies of raw milk. although it does have some microbes in it, they're a bit random, the ones that are, and no real evidence, unless you live on a farm, that you're healthier, but it might be just living on a farm makes you healthier rather than milk. So I wouldn't spend huge amounts of money on raw milk, especially as there's a risk of illness.

And the data around drinking milk for women โ There's no evidence it helps their bone health now. That was a myth probably propagated by the industry. It doesn't help fractures, although I used to tell my patients it did because that was the common belief. Excess of it will give you a bit too much saturated fat.
