Are weight loss drugs too good to be true? – with Johann Hari
Can a 'magic pill' can fix the obesity epidemic - or are we creating even more problems? Author Johann Hari joins Liz on this podcast to discuss the benefits - and 12 potential risks - of new weight loss drugs, such as Ozempic.
Johann reveals his motivations to use weight loss drugs personally, plus talks through shocking statistics on the realities of being overweight on our health.
He also shares some of the positive effects that may come with these anti-obesity drugs beyond fat loss, along with the risks - including malnutrition and eating disorders.
Meanwhile, Liz questions the true cost to our health here and whether we’re opening a Pandora’s box of unknown adverse effects when considering these drugs.

Are we too shy of the sun? - with Dr Leland Stillman
Have we become too shy of the sun or are we right to be extra cautious? Dr Leland Stillman joins Liz to share why he believes current advice about sun exposure is only skin deep.
Leland discusses his perspective on how light impacts our eyes and our overall wellbeing, and Liz questions whether we can really avoid damaging our skin when seeking more sunlight.
Leland shares how he keeps his skin safe in the sun plus how light may impact the gut, while Liz asks whether a vitamin D supplement is the same as getting it from light itself.

Healthy fats, weight loss and ‘reversing’ diabetes, with Eric Edmeades
You’ve likely heard of pre-diabetes. But what about post-diabetes? Serial entrepreneur and Wild Fit founder Eric Edmeades joins Liz to share why we need to change our approach to type 2 diabetes - along with the practical changes needed to reverse it.
Liz and Eric discuss why we should view type 2 diabetes as more of an injury rather than a disease with a life-long sentence, plus why it’s important to distinguish between pre- and post-diabetic in healthcare plans.
They also cover the benefits of ketosis and autophagy, the importance of cutting down on sugar for our health, and other lifestyle changes that we can make to cut the risk of pre-diabetes.

Customer Reviews
Just love you Liz
Hi Liz
Thank you so much for your balanced , informative, and thoughtful podcast. It is the best podcast I’ve had the privilege of listening to. Your caring and approachable nature is so endearing and a joy to listen to. Thank you for for bring us topics that are important for midlife health and well-being as this is the first time I’ve heard so much about menopause. I’m almost 41 and not sure if I am perimenopausal but I have now been equipped with the greatest knowledge to make a more informed choice and may even take HRT. Whereas, I was previously completely against ! So thank you for everything 🙏 I am also happy to hear from someone who promoted meat (grass fed and free range pasture raised) and dairy diary as I’ve always felt this is an important part of our diet but there are so many people against meat and dairy consumption. So thanks for that too xx
Please give guest more time to speak
I tried to listen to the PMS episode but had to switch it off as the interviewer never really gave time for the guest to properly answer any questions, often interrupting them or asking a new question before the previous one had been answered. Really frustrating!
I was mistaken
I used to use Liz’s products (then I realised she’d sold the company so I went far more natural with another, smaller one) I always believed her to be an advocate of natural health - now I’m not so sure; I tried to listen to the episode with Gaby Logan and although they’re easy to listen to, it felt like one long brainwash for HRT. I guess that this isn’t the podcast for me but there’s plenty of others to listen to and I’m sure this will be a favourite for many in the social media era. As a society, we are getting caught up in the ‘menopause propaganda’ which leads us to believe that women in middle age are in some way faulty and need fixing by pharmaceutical companies. It’ll be teenage girls next…
