Dr. Paul Clayton: Lifespan, Healthspan, Inflammation and the Nutritional Apocalypse

Our guest today, Dr. Paul Clayton, brings the proof that you are what you eat. A few episodes ago (episode 71) The Made To Thrive Show did the water episode, and today’s episode will definitely be known as the food episode. Dr. Paul Clayton is a clinical pharmacologist and pharmaco-nutritionist. His passion is to obsess about food, nutrition and health, collating science updates, analysis, opinion and advice about diet and health on his website https://drpaulclayton.eu. He is also the author of books and e-books Health Defence, After Atkinds, Natural Defences, Out of the Fire and Let Your Food be Your Pharmaco-nutrition. He graduated summa cum laude in Medical Pharmacology from Edinburgh University, prior to obtaining his PhD. Dr. Clayton is a former Chair of the Forum on Food & Health (UK), and Senior Scientific Advisor to the UK government’s Committee on the Safety of Medicines, he is currently a Fellow of the Institute of Food, Brain & Behaviour (Oxford). He works with leading doctors and clinical scientists at centres of clinical expertise in many countries, designing and supervising pre-clinical and clinical trials of pharmaco-nutritional interventions.
