Lesson 1 – Food as Medicine

The very old idea that food is medicine has moved to the forefront of healthcare today. We are in the midst of an epidemic of diet related illness and research is uncovering just how powerful dietary change is. 

Lesson 2 – Contains Calories, Fat, Protein and Sugar

Some of the most controversial areas of nutrition are those surrounding the effect of calories, fats, protein and sugar. We bust the cholesterol myth, expose trans fats, explore why a calorie is not a calorie, examine plant vs. animal protein, and uncover the effects of sugar

 Lesson 3 – Secrets of the Healthiest and Longest Lived People

Traditional dietary practices are informing modern nutrition in ways that are insightful and immediately relevant in the modern world. Why do some cultures enjoy remarkably healthy and very long lives? We explore the nutritional science behind their wonderful food cultures.
