In today’s episode, we tackle some of the most common nutritional conundrums with a well-respected nutritional therapist and scientist that speaks in terms anyone can understand. Phoebe Liebling is a Nutritional Therapist and Clinical Director working in London, England, whose practice centres around the use of a Functional Medicine Approach to offer bespoke nutritional advice, encompassing all aspects of an individual's diet, lifestyle, and environment. By addressing the underlying root cause of a person's symptoms rather than merely looking to manage them, Phoebe aims to not just allow her clients to be 'well', but also strives for optimal long-term health, wellness, and fitness. Listen in as we dive into the dirty and sometimes shocking truth about healthy fats, the use of statins for high cholesterol, and some of the simple diet and lifestyle changes you can make to manage your cholesterol naturally. We also weigh in on some trendy topics, like whether or not ‘intuitive eating’ is actually any good, the age-old butter versus margarine argument, and why you shouldn’t view carbs as the root of all evil.
