Autoimmune Disease, MS, Gut Health & Managing Chronic Illness Through Diet With Callum Weir & Karen Lee
Karen Lee is an award-winning plant-based nutritionist, author and retired ITU nurse who manages her own multiple sclerosis through a whole food plant-based diet. She also wrote the book on it, literally.This one covers autoimmune disease properly. What's actually happening in the body, why there are over 100 recognised conditions and most people only know about a handful, the role of the gut microbiome in immune function, how ultra-processed foods affect autoimmune health, the autoimmune protocol and what the evidence actually says about it, leaky gut, chronic inflammation, and why the supplement and wellness industry has found autoimmune patients to be an extremely profitable group of people to target with things that don't work.We also talk about evidence-based nutrition and why blanket advice fails people with autoimmune conditions, the nuance that gets stripped out of most health content, and what practical management actually looks like when you're living with a chronic illness rather than just reading about one.Karen has MS. She's not theorising.Get Karen's book Healing From the Inside Out: use code VEG2026 for 25% off at hammersmithbooks.co.ukFind her:Website: thesensitivefoodiekitchen.comInstagram: @the.sensitive.foodieFacebook: TheSensitiveFoodie

70K Q&A: Vegan Campout, Nutritional Yeast, Selenium, Oil-Free Diets, Male Loneliness & Having Kids
70,000 followers. You asked, I answered. Some of the questions were brilliant. Some of them were the same question I've answered about fifteen times. I answered those too.We get into vegan nutrition during pregnancy and after giving birth, because this deserves more than a one liner. Oil-free plant-based diets and where I actually stand on them. Selenium sources that aren't Brazil nuts for anyone with a nut sensitivity. The best protein sources after tofu when you genuinely can't get on with tempeh. Why having nutritional yeast in your diet is not a substitute for a B12 supplement. How much meal repetition is actually a problem. Whether the Soyciety is coming back. The male loneliness epidemic and whether I've experienced it myself. London Marathon training. How I handle hate online. Upcoming guests. And whether I'm having kids.That one gets a short answer.

Seed Oils, Plant Toxins, Cholesterol & & the Nutrition Myths Still Going Viral in 2026 With Callum Weir & Dr Matthew Nagra
Dr Matthew Nagra is a naturopathic doctor whose practice is built entirely around evidence-based nutrition, and this conversation goes through the topics with the most misinformation around them right now.Seed oils and why the panic doesn't match the peer reviewed evidence. The carnivore diet, its rise and its decline, and what the research actually shows. Cholesterol, LDL and heart disease. Omega-3s and supplementation. Plant toxins, oxalates and lectins, and whether anyone pushing fear about them has read a credible study. Industry funding and how it shapes research in ways most people never account for when they share a nutrition headline. How to actually read a study without being manipulated by the way it's presented.We also get into looks maxing and masculinity culture and diet. It's a corner of the internet that's been radicalising young men through food and nobody in the plant-based space is talking about it seriously.If you've ever shared a headline about seed oils or the carnivore diet and felt slightly unsure whether it was actually true, this is the episode.
