    Season 2 Preview + Our Superfood Documentary

    Before Season 2 of The Food Clinic Podcast launches on June 30th, we’re inviting you to watch something a little different. Over half of the world’s calories come from just three foods - rice, corn and wheat. But there’s a world of nourishing, culturally significant foods out there that are often overlooked. In our new short YouTube documentary, The Superfood Map of Brixton, we explore the powerful ingredients found in one of South London’s most vibrant markets. It’s a story about diversity, health, and the foods that connect us. You can watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXksRBfUjWc And set a notification for the full documentary, launching June 14th: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs0OiFk1Mzo Season 2 of the podcast returns soon - with specialist doctors, practical science, and a 21-day challenge rooted in nutrition and function. Until then, we hope you enjoy the film.
