Welcome to 'A Thorough Examination with Drs Chris and Xand'. The first series is "Addicted to Food", it's specifically about the growing global addiction to ultra processed food aka UPF. Chris thinks UPF is driving Xand’s (and everyone else's) weight problem. So he proposes a simple experiment - that Xand goes on a final week long UPF binge whilst interviewing the world's leading experts on addiction, food, nutrition and weight. It's the nutritional equivalent of smoking 100 cigarettes whilst going on a quit smoking course. Simple right? Well it turns out to be far stranger and more emotional than either of them ever imagined... The first episode in the series will be released on Tuesday, July 6, 2021.
