Healthy ageing: the power of plants and movement, with Jane Thurnell-Read
In episode 10 we have a wonderful chat with Jane Thurnell -Read on the subject of older adults, plant-based diets, and health.
Jane is an author, blogger and is a real inspiration as she promotes healthy ageing through lifestyle interventions.
And her message is very much that it’s never too late to start eating healthier and moving more. In fact there’s very little in what we discussed with her that you won’t get even more benefit from through starting early in life.
When you’ve finished this episode, members of PBHP can head on over to April’s Plant-Based Health Professionals-UK webinar, ‘Move it or Lose it’ with Dr Hussain Al Zubaidi, a GP and lifestyle medicine practitioner:

Ultra-processed foods and health: hard evidence or hysteria, with Jenny Chapman
In episode 9, we had an informative discussion with Jenny Chapman, a Churchill Fellow and food systems researcher.
Jenny has a degree in Biology from the University of Oxford, a Masters in Taxonomy from Imperial College London, and a lifelong love of the natural world.
Her work has involved researching safe, healthy, sustainable and ethical protein sources.
Jenny was awarded a Churchill Fellowship in 2023 to investigate the adoption, acceptance and trust of plant-based meat.
Jenny recently published a report entitled’ Processing The Discourse over Plant-Based Meat’ which is an essential read for anyone who is trying to understand more about the “ultra-processed foods” debate.
