Personalised Nutrition: Tomorrow's Diet Today with Dr. Lawton and Dr. Attwood
And increasingly we're realising a few things: one, that some people do respond well to the generic dietary recommendations, but a lot of people don't actually.
Imagine a world where your diet is as unique as your fingerprint. That's the vision shared by Dr. Kirstie Lawton, Public Health Nutritionist, and Dr. Sophie Attwood, Senior Behavioural Scientist, in this engaging episode of 'Lifestyle As Medicine'. Hosted by Dr. CotherHajat, the trio dives into the future of personalised nutrition, moving beyond one-size-fits-all dietary guidelines to tailored approaches that consider your individual traits like microbiome, genetics, and metabolic health. Dr.
Lawton emphasizes the power of self-regulation and introduces some of her go-to behaviour change apps that make sticking to a personalised diet easier. Meanwhile, Dr. Attwood sheds light on the role of technology in dietary changes, from wearables to sensors that monitor your nutritional intake in real-time. The discussion doesn't stop there; it ventures into the realm of meat alternatives, exploring everything from plant-based options to lab-grown meat and even 3D-printed food.
Genetic and hormone testing are also highlighted as game-changers for understanding your body's needs and restoring it to optimal health. Wrapping up on a hopeful note, the episode looks at how personalised nutrition could revolutionize global health systems. If you're curious about how science and technology can transform your eating habits, this episode is a must-listen.
