031. TIM NOAKES!! The Bad Idea of Carbs and The Food Pyramid Lie

Ideas shape lives — and nowhere is that clearer than in the way we eat. In this episode of Hey Culture, I sit down with Prof. Tim Noakes, world-renowned scientist, author, and founder of The Noakes Foundation, Nutrition Network, and Eat Better South Africa.

We talk about:

• ​ Why the “carbs are essential” narrative fails.
• ​ How bad science and policy created a health crisis.
• ​ His upcoming World Nutrition Summit 2025 — and how you can be part of it.

💡 About Hey Culture:

Hey Culture is where truth meets culture and Jesus transforms lives. Hosted by Ryno Fermor — theologian, apologist, evangelist, and founder of Salt & Light Africa Missions NPC (SALA) — the show explores how ideas shape politics, art, philosophy, and faith. We contend with bad ideas, celebrate good ones, and wrestle with how the gospel speaks into culture today.
