Ep. 136 As A Woman, What & How Should I Be Eating?: Smart Snacking, Gut Health & Actually Useful Nutrition Advice with Professor Sarah Berry

Ep. 136
•

This is an expert episode absolutely packed with gold on what & when we should be eating.


My guest is Professor Sarah Berry, a world-leading expert in nutritional science, Professor at King’s College London, the Chief Scientist at ZOE and the lead nutritional scientist on the PREDICT program, the world’s largest in-depth nutritional research programme. With over 20 years of research under her belt, Sarah has published more than 200 scientific papers exploring how our bodies respond to food, from blood sugar and fat metabolism to the gut microbiomeand crucially, how those responses can differ drastically between individuals, especially women.


The aim for this episode was to answer the question, as a woman, what and how should I be eating, and how we can finally move past one-size-fits-all wellness culture, something I am very behind!

  • 175. This is how you build real friendships (as an adult)

    31:09||Ep. 175
    This is a bit more of a chatty one than usual, but it's something I've been thinking about a lot over the past few weeks. Today I want to talk about how to build amazing friendships and what it really takes. It’s about building real, amazing friendships as an adult. Not the catch-up coffee once a quarter kind of friendship, but the ones that actually feel like a village. The ones where people show up for you, and you show up for them, even when it’s inconvenient.+A huge thank you to Michelle Elman for being my expert for this episode, you can find her links here: IG: https://www.instagram.com/michellelelman/?hl=en TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@michellelelman?lang=en Bad Friend: https://www.michelleelman.com/bad-friend/Michelle's Episode of WH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi3n-4fAhtk +SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghardpod/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpodcast?lang=en +DILEMMA SUBMISSIONIf you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to podcast@grace-beverley.com with the subject beginning DILEMMAS or DM us @workinghardpod on instagram!+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

  • 172. How To Actually Make The Most Of Your Twenties

    25:44||Ep. 172
    Today’s solo episode is all about your twenties, the decade everyone loves to romanticise and panic about at the exact same time. We’re told “these are the best years of your life”. That this is the decade where you’re supposed to find your passion, find your people, figure yourself out, build your career, start investing, go to therapy, travel the world, and somehow also enjoy being young and carefree. So today I wanted to break that all down. We’re going to talk about what actually matters in your twenties, what the research says about how this decade shapes the rest of your life, and how to make the most of it without losing your mind trying to do everything perfectly. I also spoke to the amazing Dr Meg Jay who had some great advice!+DR MEG JAYIG: https://www.instagram.com/drmegjay/ Books: https://megjay.com/books/ + +SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghard...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpo...+DILEMMA SUBMISSIONIf you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to podcast@grace-beverley.com with the subject beginning DILEMMAS or DM us @workinghardpod on instagram!+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

  • 171. How to Find Your Own Path And Build A Purpose-Led Dream With Sabrina Dhowre Elba

    57:21||Ep. 171
    Sabrina is an entrepreneur, UN Goodwill Ambassador, and co-founder of S’ABLE Labs with her husband Idris Elba.What I love most about her story is how honest she was about the iterations of her career, and the big decisions that have led to where she's at today.And instead of forcing her future, she changed direction. Which sounds simple, but when you’ve built your whole identity around a plan, it’s one of the hardest things to do.I loved our chat and I hope you do to!+SABRINA ELBAIG: https://www.instagram.com/sabrinaelba/?hl=en S'ABLE Labs: https://uk.sablelabs.co/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22847910183&gbraid=0AAAAAoySwxYfK7ZB2JUoTd-4nv866EAza&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvJHIBhCgARIsAEQnWlC21dQ0pUvz3uWuB7SIgefkWBl6d7KHXbjAdtDY7W8ox3EcQNJm4ucaAsaWEALw_wcB+SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghardpod/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpodcast?lang=en+DILEMMA SUBMISSIONIf you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to podcast@grace-beverley.com with the subject beginning DILEMMAS or DM us @workinghardpod on instagram!+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.
