What could reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke, lower inflammation, and make you less susceptible to depression? The answer, says nutritionist Emma Bardwell, is fibre.

Emma's back on the show by popular demand to explain why hitting 30 grams a day could transform everything from weight loss and mood to digestion and glowing skin – and the simple hacks that make it easy to hit that target. 

In this episode:

• Why fibre needs better PR (and why protein hogged the limelight in 2025)
• The difference between soluble and insoluble fibre – and why you need both
• Fibre heroes: raspberries, cannellini beans, cacao powder and ground almonds
• How to go from 16g to 30g without eating mountains of vegetables
• The microdosing approach: starting with one teaspoon of beans to avoid bloating
• Why fermented foods and kefir are game-changers for your gut microbiome
• The Bristol Stool Chart and poophoria (yes, really)
• How fibre supports weight loss, hormone balance, and even clears microplastics
• Why your digestion slows in perimenopause – and what to do about it
• Emma's tips for cooking tempeh
• The timeline: what happens to your body within hours, days, and weeks of increasing fibre

It's one of the most confusing nutrition debates – should you be eating more salt or less? The answer might surprise you, because it depends on your lifestyle.

Liz explains why salt isn't the enemy, the surprising signs that reveal whether you're getting too much or too little, and why drinking plenty of water might not be hydrating you properly at all.

In this episode:

• How to know if you need to increase or reduce your sodium intake
• Are at-home teeth whitening kits safe and do they actually work?
• Tips for breast tenderness on HRT
• Can you cook with extra virgin olive oil or is it just for drizzling?
