Tim Noakes: Why Modern Nutrition Is Failing Us

Tim Noakes joins Jerm for a wide-ranging conversation about how our understanding of diet and health has gone off track. From his early career in sports science to his shift towards nutrition, Noakes unpacks why ultra-processed foods are wrecking our health and why the low-carb, high-fat approach makes more sense. They dig into the links between diet and common issues like heartburn and diabetes, challenge mainstream ideas about exercise and weight loss, and look at how culture shapes what we eat. Noakes also talks about the value of animal-based foods, the truth about cholesterol and heart disease, and why modern science often gets it wrong. Other topics include the risks of sugar and fruit, the role of supplements, and whether coffee is good or bad for you. It's a practical, eye-opening chat about food, health, and the stories we’re told.
