Andrew Scarborough - Surviving Incurable Brain Cancer
Andrew Scarborough is currently studying human and medical science at the University of Westminster. He was diagnosed in 2013 with an incurable malignant brain tumour after having a brain haemorrhage on a train. He’s just passed six years post-diagnosis and has prevented the cancer from growing without medication with a combination of a ketogenic diet, magnesium and boswellic acid supplementation, periods of fasting, long walks, a positive mindset, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Dr. Alison van Eenennaam - Animal Genetics, Food Marketing, and World Hunger
Dr. Alison van Eanennaam is a public sector academic at University of California Davis using science to improve the efficiency of agriculture. I really think that this is a dynamite episode that reveals some truths about beef and dairy production that are not widely known, but should be. We talk about world hunger, GMO, food marketing, and how ruminant agriculture has its place at the table.

Sanjeev Kohli - Laughter, Life, and Depression
Sanjeev Kohli is one of the UK’s best loved comedians, whether it’s through his hilarious twitter feed, his scene-stealing appearances in sitcoms, or his own BBC radio sitcom Fags, Mags, and Bags. You’ll hear me several times try to steer the conversation towards food. I manage it eventually, but until then, there’s some great stuff about his new Edinburgh fringe show, how jokes work, comedy and depression, and lots in between. I hope you enjoy.

Emma Williams - Keto Diets That Save Lives
Emma Williams is the CEO and founder of a charity called Matthew’s Friends, named after her son, whose severe, life-threatening epileptic seizures dropped by 90% simply after a change in diet. It transformed their lives. Not many people know that ketogenic diets have been used for 100 years as a therapy. It’s a fascinating chat about the anger Emma felt and how that drove her to get the message out on how these diets can transform the lives of people with epilepsy, other chronic disorders, and the average person. I hope you enjoy.
