People will get mad because we’re going to spend the entire episode telling you why food is not medicine.

If we had a dollar for every time someone said ‘bUt SaTuRatED fAt AcTuAllY iSn’T tHAt bAd’, we wouldn’t need ads in our podcast episodes. ‘The Magic Pill’, this month’s film, likes to get greasy and extoll the miracle nature of fats.

Being terrified of ageing seems to be common fodder for wellness wankers, including The Goop Lab. This week, Gwynnie tries to tell us we can reverse age or something, and botox is bad.

It’s an important topic - women’s sexuality and the gender gap in orgasms. Any publicity is good publicity, right? The question is, does The Goop Lab get this right?

We did it, we watched The Goop Lab. And we’re sorry that we did because this week, Paltrow focusses on Wim Hof, a Dutch extreme athlete who wants everyone to breathe strangely and swim in frozen water for health.

It’s the last episode of our ‘Fed Up’ before we move on to our next victim. The film loves to paint the food industry as the bad guy in all of this.

We’re back with ‘Fed Up’ and this week, we’re talking about fat. Because this film has some pretty strong opinions on this - some, they have a point but some are downright daft. And of course we have some pretty strong points (and science) of our own to separate fact from fiction.Follow Pixie Turner @pixienutrition on Instagram | Twitter | FacebookFollow Dr Nikki Stamp @drnikkistamp on Instagram | Twitter | FacebookEmail us with your questions inbadtastepodcast@gmail.com Please don’t forget to give us a 5-star rating to help others find us Production music courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com(Theme song is ‘Rookie Mistake’ by Fly Guy Five)Cover art is by Fine Print Food - @fineprintfoodThis week’s suggested readings:Nikki’s books:Pretty Unhealthy: How our obsession with looking healthy is making us sickhttps://amzn.to/3fP1456 Can You Die of a Broken Heart? https://amzn.to/3hW8khv Pixie’s books:No Need to Diet - https://amzn.to/37WKkGz The Wellness Rebel - https://amzn.to/2CAHECO Insta-Food Diet (Pre-order) - https://amzn.to/2NowkvB References:Lozano-Sufrategui, L., Sparkes, A.
