Natural Ozempic, Peptide Clinics & What’s Really Driving Hunger

This week we unpack the science of appetite and what really drives us to eat: hunger, stress, habit, reward or simply the food environment around us. We discuss why eating well is far more complex than willpower alone, and the idea of “food-mind fluency.” We also break down the controversy around plant milks and children’s health, exploring the nutritional differences between dairy and plant based alternatives, plus the environmental trade offs. Plus, could aspirin really help prevent cancer? We look at the remarkable new research linking the common painkiller to reduced colorectal cancer risk and why some countries are already changing guidance for high risk groups. In What’s Trending in Wellness, we investigate the rise of peptides, NAD+ and injectable wellness therapies, before asking whether “natural Ozempic” is actually possible or just another oversimplified social media trend.
