Could wellness mushrooms transform your health, or are they simply an expensive trend? Can you really trust your hunger cues after years of dieting and food rules? And should we be worried about what happens when we fire up the barbecue?
This week, we unpack the evidence behind medicinal mushrooms and berberine, explore how our childhood experiences can shape our relationship with food decades later, and separate fact from fiction when it comes to barbecues and cancer risk. 
Plus, we discuss whether recipe boxes are really as healthy as home cooking, how to navigate different approaches to eating within the same family and why chasing the next health trend so often distracts us from the fundamentals
