Simon Hill joins the podcast for a chat.

Apart from being a ripping bloke, brilliant educator, great conversationalist, simplifier of - what can be - complex information and an anti-bullsh*tter, Simon Hill is one of the most respected voices (in the world) when it comes to the minefield that is, nutrition. In the middle of the sale's pitches, hysteria, food cults and pseudo-science, Simon is the sanity we need and this was one of my favourite TYP conversations this year.

Chasing the ‘perfect’ diet is a trap; which is really great news for our brand. Simon Hill, nutritionist, physiotherapist, and host of The Proof podcast, joins us in the Academy of Imperfection to break down whether the latest dietary trends on social media actually match up with nutrition science. In this episode, Simon unpacks the role of both genetics and lifestyle choices in shaping our health, and specifically our risk of disease. Acknowledging the pressure, and sometimes shame, that comes with chasing the ‘perfect’ diet, Hugh, Ryan, and Josh discuss how to encourage kids to build positive relationships with food, and the incredible significance of ‘joy’ and ‘human connection’, that occurs when we get together to eat. And then, of course, we play Simon Says and bust some food-myths about supplements, plant protein, and whether breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Simon, thank you for all that you says.

In this Plot Twist episode of The Light Watkins Show, Light Watkins sits down with Simon Hill to uncover the pivotal moments that led him to become a leading voice in nutrition and wellness. For Simon, the journey began with a family crisis—a heart attack his father suffered at the age of 41. This health scare became a wake-up call, as a cardiologist warned Simon that, due to genetics and lifestyle, he might face the same fate. Although the warning lingered, Simon initially pursued a career in sports physiotherapy, enjoying the fulfillment of helping athletes heal and perform. But a persistent curiosity about nutrition and its connection to heart health gradually shifted his focus.After an eye-opening experience with his brother's dietary changes, Simon found himself compelled to dig deeper into nutrition science. What began as a personal journey to prove his diet was “right” turned into a full commitment to research, including earning a master's degree in nutrition science.In the episode, Simon breaks down why understanding nutrition is far from simple, explaining the science behind food studies and why it's challenging to determine what's truly healthy. He talks about the importance of rigorous research, the evidence hierarchy, and what it means to “do your own research” in a world of conflicting dietary advice.Listeners will walk away with new perspectives on nutrition and gain insights into the discipline it takes to uncover the truth in a sea of information. This episode is ideal for anyone curious about the role food plays in their long-term health and eager to make more informed choices.Send us a text message. We'd love to hear from you!

In this week's episode I sit down with nutrition scientist and physiotherapist Simon Hill (@simonhill) to talk about all things nutrition, research, exercise and optimising health! We discuss topics surrounding misinformation - is the information on the news and in social media accurate? Does it accurately summarise the research? Study types - discover how some research can increase anxiety for people when it comes to food. Is the study based on humans or animals? What dose is the subject exposed to and for how long? Plant-based diets - find out how choosing a diet high in fibre, plant diversity, and low in ultra processed foods help you to shift risk factors in a more favourable direction, improving your health outcomes. Discover whether there are any limitations and for any particular groups of people specifically. Protein - is animal protein better than plant protein for building muscle or healthy ageing? Is it about protein intake or actually increasing resistance training? Find out how plant protein consumption can reduce your cardio metabolic risk factors whilst still increasing muscle mass. Phytates - learn what they are, what foods contain them and should we be concerned that they may reduce absorption of certain minerals? Make sure to follow @simonhill for more information!

In episode 529 of Sigma Nutrition Radio, we discuss all things related to cholesterol, atherosclerosis, heart disease, and dietary fat. The discussion extensively covers the impact of LDL cholesterol and ApoB on atherosclerotic plaque progression, cardiovascular events, and the benefits of early LDL lowering interventions, particularly through the use of PCSK9 inhibitors alongside statins. We address misconceptions prevalent in the low-carb and carnivore communities, dissect claims regarding saturated fats, and elucidate why atherosclerosis predominantly affects arteries and not veins. The episode sheds light on the nuanced mechanisms of cholesterol metabolism, the significance of different lipid particles, and the limited dietary impact on LP(a) levels. Comprehensive evidence-based insights and practical recommendations for dietary patterns and cardiovascular health interventions are provided, offering clarity on these complex topics.

The loss of a child must be heartbreaking, devastating, surreal all at once - how can you even begin to define it? One morning back in November 2007, it was a nightmare that North Wales father Simon Hill was thrust into - but for Simon, there was an extra dimension to such a tragedy. For it was at the hands of his equal - the person supposed to love and protect a child more than anyone. The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving  a child, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

Episode #308. How would Jesus kill an animal? Join me as I sit down with filmmakers Kip Andersen and Kameron Waters to discuss their position on how religion and veganism intersect. Whether you are religious or not, there are many interesting points raised to reflect on further. In their new documentary Christspiracy, Kip and Kameron pose the question: is there a spiritual way to kill an animal? In this episode, they argue what they believe to be the accurate interpretation of what the Bible says about animal liberation, taking us on a journey of what the concept of dominion truly means. We discuss a 2000-year-old cover-up, whether eating meat as a Christian is hypocritical, the truth about regenerative agriculture, and much more. Specifically, we cover: Intro (00:00) Unveiling the Truth Behind Religious Misinterpretations (06:06) Exploring the Daniel Fast: A Christian's Journey to Plant-Based Eating (13:43) Connecting the Dots: The Nazarenes, Mistranslations, and Jesus' Controversial Temple Actions (19:07) The Mistranslation of Dominion and Its Impact on Western World Beliefs (25:38) Rethinking Christianity's Relationship with Animal Consumption (31:50) Exploring the Intersection of Spirituality, Ethics, and Filmmaking: A Journey of Discovery (43:52) How the Animal Agriculture Industry Influences Religious Views on Animal Consumption (50:57) Is It Possible to be Spiritual and Consume Animal Products?

Episode #307. According to Robin Sharma, eight factors define wealth – and only one of them is money. Join me in today's episode as I sit down with this leadership expert and bestselling author to unpack what it truly means to be wealthy. You'll learn about what happy people have in common, how to find more fulfilment, and how to perform a full reset on your life. Robin pulls back the curtain to offer a glimpse of what his habits look like and how you can implement habits to help you become your best self. Plus, discover why you should consider eating out alone, why you should be thinking about death, and plenty more in this insight-packed conversation. In any conversation considering the relationship between money and happiness, it's important to note that not everyone has the time or resources to commit to self-improvement. If you're in this camp, you're far from alone. My advice would be to take the core principles discussed in this episode and find some goals that are reasonable for you. Even if you can only set aside fifteen minutes a day, any steps you can take have the potential to make a big difference in the long run.
