What to Eat to Reduce Joint Pain, Whether Eating the Same Meals Helps Weight Loss, and Do You Actually Need a Multivitamin

About this episode

Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell discuss dietary strategies for reducing joint pain, the effectiveness of meal repetition for weight loss, and the necessity of multivitamins.

Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell tackle the evidence on eating to reduce joint pain and inflammation, including what the Mediterranean diet actually requires, which supplements genuinely work and which do not, and why turmeric is not the answer. Plus: new research showing meal repetition outperforms dietary variety for weight loss, an honest review of the new Arnott's Shapes Light and Crispy range, and the straight truth on whether anyone actually needs a multivitamin. Practical, evidence-based, and no fluff.
