Episode 85 - For the love of soy with Doctors Daisy Lund and Clare Day of In a Nutshell Podcast

Today, I am joined by doctors Daisy Lund and Clare Day. Drs Lund and Day are two plant-based health professionals working as Family Physicians within the National Health Service ( NHS) in London, UK. They have their own podcast with the aim to improve nutritional education about the benefits of a whole-foods plant based diet for individual and planetary health. Dr Day has worked as an NHS General Practitioner ( Family Medicine Physician) in a range of settings including community and prison healthcare, having qualified as a doctor in 2011.  Prior to studying Graduate Medicine she studied Science Communication and Policy, joined the Civil Service and worked at HM Treasury as a Policy Advisor.  She has been vegan for a number of years and is convinced of the benefits for long term health of eating whole food plant based. Explanations of how dietary change can help long term conditions is something she tries to put at the very centre of consultations with curious patients. She also does plant-based teaching for trainee GPs and colleagues. Like the rest of us she is learning everyday about food and health, and most importantly the barriers to change for individuals.  Dr Lund is a practising General Practitioner ( Family Medicine Physician) with over 20 years’ experience of working in the NHS. She is a GP trainer and medical educator at Imperial College in London, UK. Dr Lund has an interest in preventative medicine and holistic health and incorporates diet and lifestyle into her consultations. She has completed the Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate at the University of Winchester and is passionate about nutrition education for health care professionals. Together with a GP colleague, Dr Claire Day, she co-hosts ‘In a Nutshell’ the Plant Based Health Professionals UK podcast.
