47 - The Top 10 Biggest Nutrition Fails with Leigh Brandon
In this week’ episode of the RHR Podcast, I go solo to share with you my experience of the last 27 years coaching people on eating for optimal health and the biggest mistakes I see people making where nutrition has played a role in their health condition, whether it be, acne, eczema, psoriasis, constipation, diarrhoea, chronic pain or any other chronic degenerative disease.
And with the ever-increasing rates of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and mental health problems, all of which having a nutritional component I thought this was a subject I just had to tackle. The destruction of quality of life and early deaths many of these diseases cause, is totally avoidable.
