    S1 - #10 Claire Johnson: From Seed Cycling to Cycle Syncing Workouts...Science or Sales?

    Nothing's Off The Menu is proudly sponsored by ChicP - the UK's fastest growing hummus brand - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Healthy Hummus & Dips | ChicP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ From seed cycling to cycle-syncing workouts, social media is full of advice claiming women should eat, exercise and live differently throughout their menstrual cycle. But how much of it is backed by science, and how much is clever marketing? In this episode, we're joined by Claire, a Registered Clinical Nutritionist specialising in women's health, PMOS, weight management and public health. Alongside supporting clients in private practice, Claire works as an Advanced Dietetic Assistant within the NHS in Bariatric Surgery and Complex Obesity. Claire's passion for women's health began following her own PMOS diagnosis in 2019. That experience inspired her to complete a Master's degree in Clinical Nutrition in London, before securing funding to lead her own clinical trial investigating dietary and supplement interventions for PCOS management. Her research was published in 2025. Together, we unpack the evidence behind popular trends like seed cycling and cycle syncing, explore what the research really says, and discuss how women can make informed, realistic choices that support their health without falling for the latest wellness hype.

    S1 - #8 Chris Barnett: Why Knowing What To Eat Isn't Enough

    Nothing's Off The Menu is proudly sponsored by ChicP - the UK's fastest growing hummus brand - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Healthy Hummus & Dips | ChicP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Chris Barnett, Registered Associate Nutritionist and personal trainer, to explore why knowing what to eat isn't always enough to create lasting change. While most people understand the basics of healthy eating, putting that knowledge into practice is often where the real challenge lies. Chris shares his insights into the behavioural, psychological and lifestyle factors that can make healthy eating difficult, even when we know exactly what we should be doing. Throughout the episode, we discuss the barriers that get in the way of consistency, including busy schedules, habits, emotions and the all-or-nothing mindset that can derail progress. Chris explains why sustainable change is built on realistic, manageable habits rather than restrictive diets or relying solely on willpower. We also explore practical strategies to help bridge the gap between knowledge and action, making healthy choices easier to maintain in everyday life. Whether you've ever found yourself thinking, "I know what I should be eating, but I just can't seem to stick to it," this conversation will help you understand why that happens and provide practical, evidence-based tips to help you build habits that last.
