Summary

Dr Clare Bailey is a GP and health columnist with extensive experience in helping people lose weight and improve their health. Dr Michael Mosley is a science presenter, journalist and executive television producer. Together, they have authored several bestselling books on weight loss, diet and diabetes and created the popular 5:2 and fast 800 diets. In this episode, the guests describe the evidence showing the positive effects of incorporating principles such as the Mediterranean style diet and time-restricted eating into your lifestyle and how the fast 800 diet can dramatically improve your health outcomes, particularly in reversing type 2 diabetes. The ‘metabolic car crash’ of poor sleep, low hormones, poor diet and weight gain for women during the perimenopause and menopause are also discussed. Clare and Michel’s top tips: Enjoy olive oil. You don’t have to be stingy with it – it’s good for you! Eat oily fish – remember SMASH: Sardines, Mackerel, Anchovies, Salmon, Herring. Avoid snacks (especially in the evenings) or if you have to, reach for a few nuts.

0:00.0	Hello, I'm Dr. Louise Newsome and welcome to my podcast. I'm a GP and menopause specialist and I run the Newsome Health Menopause and Wellbeing Centre here in Stratford-Bron-Avon. I'm also the founder of the Menopause charity and the Menopause support app called Balance.
0:29.9	On the podcast, I will be joined each week by an exciting guest to help provide evidence-based
0:36.5	information and advice about both the perimenopause and the
0:40.9	menopause. So today on the podcast, I have two people with me in the studio, which is doubly
0:50.1	exciting. So I have two people that I hold in very high respect actually as well, so I'm actually
0:55.4	a bit nervous here. So I've got in front of me Michael Mosley, who I have known and respected for many
1:01.6	years and his good wife, Claire, who works very closely with him, that I think a lot of people,
1:06.2	maybe, and I didn't until recently, quite how closely she works and helps in helps. So thank you ever so much for joining me today.
1:14.7	Pleasure. Great to be here.
1:16.0	Oh, thank you. So I don't know whether you both know, but if I wasn't doing menopause,
1:21.0	which takes up 100 plus percent of my time, I would actually be doing something in nutrition
1:27.1	because it's one of the,
1:28.8	well, one of the many things actually that we're not taught at medical school that would be very
1:32.4	useful to know. And I don't know about you both, but I certainly didn't know what I do now about
1:38.4	nutrition and I thought fats were bad. I went to medical school in the 80s, so there was lots
1:44.1	about do not eat fat and how wrong we were bad. I went to medical school in the 80s, so there was lots about do not eat fat and how wrong we
1:47.6	were really. So things have changed, but there's so much confusion, isn't there, out there?
1:52.9	And it's really worrying for everyone, but obviously I particularly worry about menopausal and perimenopausal
2:00.0	women who are often really,
2:02.4	really struggling with their diet because of the metabolic changes that occur.
2:06.7	And then they find that this overwhelming information that often isn't right is very scary.
2:14.2	So you've done some great work.
